That means it is typo in the Turkish part.

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/akinci-tiha-combat-proven-oldu/ Akinci UCAV has become combat proven. It has used MAM-L ammunition with particle-effect version on ground targets.

https://www.tusas.com/en/products/uav/high-payload-capacity-uas/aksungur Tusas site clearly says 40000ft for service ceiling.

A Counter Rocket Artillery Mortar (C-RAM), system like “Porcupine” is effective in an area 400m x 400m. The range of 10 km stated above for a 20mm Gatling gun, is just not possible. As a C-RAM it probably is an effective system. But I am quite hopeful for our Korkut too for a similar job, if it...

First of all let us clarify; by definition, MALE UAV is a plane that operates between 10-30000ft altitude. HALE UAV is a plane that operates at altitudes higher than 30000ft. So by definition both Aksungur and Akinci are High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) drones. The new Anka drone in it’s...

These are MTOWs. When one speaks of a 10ton class, it is the total weight with which the helicopter can fly. That includes, carcass, payload, fuel and avionics et al. t-129 is 5 ton class. T-629 is 6 ton class and so on. edit: As per @Zafer ‘s addition, these helicopters can manage more than...

Rocket artillery missiles are big cumbersome weapons. They have a very high ballistic trajectory. They can be stopped by modern AD systems. So I wouldn’t compare a 155mm shell sized weapon with a rocket artillery missile (apples to apples, you are looking at TRG300 and bigger. Hence probably not...

155mm Artillery shells are cheap but not very accurate. Their range, unless base-bleed is used, will not exceed 30km. With base-bleed you are looking at 40km. Excalibur rounds with maximum 55 km range, are very accurate against stationary targets. But are very expensive (best part of 70 thousand...

I guess it is cheaper to test these missiles with Akinci rather than F16, especially as they are going to be used by MIUS too. Akinci is not a fighter jet. It just seems odd for it to have both these missiles, which are the primary air to air attack and defence weapons of a fully fledged...

Nammo has ben experimenting with ramjet powered 155mm artillery rounds, achieving a staggering 150km effective range. We should be looking in to this as the next stage of our ramjet development program. Instead of EM railgun tech , this has more future to pursue.

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/m-60tmye-volkan-m-entegrasyonu-basliyor/ Volkan-M fire control system integration to M60-TM tanks is starting. This system is the culmination of technologies attained from the experience of Volkan 1 and 2 versions. Upon completion of the qualification tests he...

”TCG Anadolu is an amphibious assault ship” Exactly! That is what she is! What makes modern frigates and destroyers even deadlier, is their ability to project fire power away from their hull at a distance and altitude through the one helicopter they carry. This ship is going to have a multitude...

Are we going to have pages and pages of futile discussion on ”supposed“ name of TFX again? Can we stay on topic please!

If it is going to have a long range Aesa radar as advertised, wouldn’t it be defeating the object by utilising a WVR missile? What can it be used to shoot? Unless it is to be configured to be used against AD missiles. Wouldn’t it be more apt to use a BVR missile?

As a person who is close to naval circles, this decision may come to you as natural, to be expected and may even be old news. But to those of us who are not naturally in close proximity of naval events, this is a huge decision. There must be hundreds of Harpoons in the inventory. They are being...

You have put your finger on the correct point. If you check the MKE’s hybrid solution, they do not use the diesel generator’s internal combustion power for traction. The total power generation is used for: electrical power generation and charging the battery pack. The resultant electrical power...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/turk-donanmasindan-atmaca-karari/ Turkish Navy has taken a decision to integrate Atmaca missile to all available naval combatant platforms that will accommodate it. That shows the superiority of this missile over the US version harpoon currently in use and the...

Please stay on topic. This is “Mavi Vatan” (Blue Homeland) thread. Also make sure you do not use insults and derogatory language against fellow members.

If the actual monies are coming out of Gulf States/Saudi coffers, does it really matter?
