https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tcg-anadoluda-bayraktar-tb3-icin-tasarim-degisikligi/ It seems that there is a plan to alter the design of TCG Anadolu so that TB3 drones can land and take off from the deck of this amphibious landing dock. As well as extending the ski jump, the area behind the...

These missiles were made with AIM120 Amraam and AIM9x missiles in mind. They were to be replacement of these two. They are not quite like the replica of these. They are a bit different. We will never know the exact details. And, really, no one should! (apart from the people that should). That is...

He says the project is going to start. We want to hear “keel cutting will start”! Same with I-Class; all three will be produced together we were told. What we want to hear is “at such and such a date we start cutting keel! “. A lot of will, shall, going to. But no real action. I would love it if...

https://www.defenceturk.net/bozdogan-ve-gokdogan-hava-hava-fuzeleri-envantere-giriyor Turkish BVR a2a missile Gokdogan and the WVR version Bozdogan is becoming part of the TAF inventory. Can’t wait for the news of the Gökhan missile being in the inventory too!!

https://www.defenceturk.net/sungur-hava-savunma-fuzesi-tsk-envanterine-giriyor As part of our layered AD system Sungur is the missile at the bottom of the layers after Korkut. It is now becoming physically available as an AD system in TSK’s inventory

@Crab , are you sure about CTS800 engines being built at TEI? As far as I remember it was thought to be produced under license at TEI. But it never materialised. They are purchased from Honeywell USA. If you are saying only the Power Turbine module is being produced; I thought we only recently...

You need to write English summary for these. There are many non Turkish speakers that follow these threads.

The notion of close air support has always been low altitude flight and dive bombing until lately, like the ones performed by A10s and Tornados in the gulf war. Bombing enemy positions near friendlies is the act of CAS. But it has always been done by low altitude flight runs in the absence of...

Are you sure? Super Tucano is a propeller driven slow plane. Hurjet is as the namesake is a JET plane.😀 I guess you meant Hurkus!

CAS concept, with current AD systems may no longer be feasible. For a plane to be effective at close air support, it needs to be as fast as a Panavia Tornado at sea level (1482km/hr) and as robust as an A10. Still they will fall prey to most modern AD systems. During first gulf war, 3 Tornados...

https://defencehub.live/threads/turkish-attack-utility-helicopter-programs.9/page-46 When asked if there will be a naval version of T-625 Gokbey and T-929 heavy attack helicopter for TCG Anadolu, Mr Kotil responded by saying, for now we are thinking of naval version of T-929. That is good news...

According to this site they have 61 fighters; 28 SU27 21 MIG29 12 SU24 Plus 13 SU25 as CAS. How many of them are readily operational, is another question. https://www.wdmma.org/ukrainian-air-force.php

US has been fairly lax in supplying sub systems for our defence industry.

Is this TS1400 that measured as a 1600HP engine on tests? I thought it was already delivered to be tried on Gokbey! Or is there another one?

Exactly. As such a device’s presence can’t be known, we can only guess and use conjecture. Even if there is, they will never admit it’s presence and we will never know. If any country knew such a device is fitted on their plane they wouldn’t be very willing to buy that plane. It is a good idea...

Can you give us concrete proof that what you claim can be done by the push of a button? Or is it just a generalisation that if US wants to ground any county’s F35 fighters, they can do it by stopping spares etc? Because that statement is a bit vague!

To add to your post re f16 crashes; TAF has bought 280 f16s in total through Peace Onyx program. Today we have 245 F16s. (87 of these are used as trainers) So we have lost 35 planes.

It is a valid argument in the sense that these countries have made a conscious choice (like we had until we were kicked out - we were those countries once) to purchase these planes knowing exactly how much they are technically going to be dependent on US. US supporting PYD and clashing with us...

You are free to believe in whatever you want to believe. But just think that if this plane were such a security problem as it is made out to be, why on earth countries like UK, Netherlands, Italy, Norway, Canada, Australia, Japan, SKorea, Denmark, Poland, Belgium and Singapore have ordered these...
