100kWt of instantaneous thermal energy is a lot of directed energy at one point.

Not necessarily. It only means that Altay has, as good a protection as the comparable German tanks. That in turn means that Turkey and any other country that chooses Altay, will have a tank with top notch ballistic protection. (Which means German armour technology is not unique)

I have a feeling that the reason that Akkor is not finding widespread use among our armoured vehicles and tanks has it’s roots at the cost of this system being a bit prohibitive for the time being as well as some technical issues that need to be ironed out. Israel’s Trophy system costs close to...

@500 , Very effective! Do you now the power level of the laser being used and the usable operational range? For a country like Israel where the skies are clear majority of time, this is great. I guess the only drawback is the time the laser has to be in contact with the target which should be...

Plus the time to train for using them proficiently.

These are turbojet engines and will be producing jet thrust. So they have to have axial flow at compressor inlet and at turbine level. They usually have 4 compressor stages and 1 stage turbine. KTJ-3200 has a 4 stage axial flow compressor too like safran micro turbo engines. TEI TJ-300 has a 4...

First of all please note that Kale names it’s engine according to the Newton thrust it can develop. TEI on the other hand names them according to the lbf thrust. These engines are expendable engines. So they are not produced to very strict tolerances. TJ-300, on paper develops 300lbf thrust...

Aksungur has already fired Teber bomb with a precision strike. Teber 82 uses a cheap (~2000$) 250kg mK82 bomb with (87kg explosive) and turns it in to a precision strike munition worth 25-30000 dollars that can hit moving targets from 30 km away. MAM-T is also meant for Aksungur to use. So it...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/aksungur-sihadan-mam-l-ile-tam-isabet/ Aksungur has hit with pinpoint accuracy using MAM-L missile. This gives good flexibility when attacking islands and small sea targets. As we well know, Aksungur can carry 24 of these missiles. I won’t even mention what it can...

İBRAHİM SÜNNETCİ (@BRAHMSNNETC1) Tweeted: @DefenceTurkey MİLGEM 6-8 için yeni bir uzatma gelmemiş ve ilgili firma ve tersaneler 8 Nisan 2022 tarihinde tekliflerini SSB'na teslim etmiş. Hayırlı uğurlu olsun., It seems that no new extensions have been given and all relevant companies and ship...

@Nilgiri Especially agree with your last paragraph as it is totally correct. I hope that the US - Pakistan relations become friendlier too. So that we can get those engine licenses released for the T-129 helicopters. But I can’t see Pakistan moving away from China as long as India is seen as a...

Theoretically possible. But it is inconclusive that SAR technology is being actively used to detect submarines. It is among different methods of detection of submarines in ports and at sea. But underwater detection capability of SAR, if true, is not apparently known openly...

Iskander missile is a tactical short range missile. It is basically a quasi ballistic (behaves like/semi ballistic) missile. It’s apogee is around 50-60km. Many versions have been built. At high altitude it travels at hypersonic speeds. It’s length. diameter and hence weight varies according to...

CODELOD is a naval propulsion system in which an electric motor and a diesel engine act on a single propeller. CODAD is a naval propulsion system for ships using two Diesel engines to power a single propeller shaft.

In addition to our posts , let me introduce the TAIGEI Class submarines of Japan. This class was built with tech taken and progressed from last 2 Söryu class submarines with Li-Ion batteries. They can, after nuclear submarines, stay submerged longest among all other conventional subs. This is...

I think this is for just one sub to start with. 2 more on option. Mitsubishi make submarine engines for SÖRYU class. But they most likely, wouldn’t sell the engines to China either.

Add English translation please

German AIP system is good and TN had made the right choice at the time. Whilst it is a good system, the speed at which the submarine can travel submerged under AIP is very low and does not give the Sub-Commander flexibility of a faster moving vessel. Added to this, Germany’s, what I would call...
