I think you will find that we only have partial access to some of the planes‘ computer programming. We are managing to introduce all our own indigenous weapons to the planes as US counterparts. (KGK as JSOW , HGK as JDAM, SOM as JASSM, GOKDOGAN as AMRAAM etc etc) . Currently we have no problems...

According to this site (I am not sure how trustworthy the site is. I have only just come across it) all F16s block 30 planes that were placed in hangar for structural upgrades may have had their “Ozgur” modernisation completed before they have left - sans Aesa - . It reckons Aesa will be...

That danger is always there. But…. We have frigates and corvettes being built in our own shipyards. US has not made it difficult with the supply of gas turbines for them. GE has signed a MOU with our TEI to service and part production of LM2500 and LM500 gas turbines. We have a Blackhawk...

Looking at the modern missile systems of now and to come; any CIWS system short of engagement range of 3 km is going to be not sufficient to stop supersonic missiles. Phalanx can hit targets at around 1500m max. Latest version of Phalanx has a range of 5500m. But the effective real life hit to...

(Rolling Airfrane Missiles) RAM with 21 missiles costs around 25million dollars. Plus a14 million dollars of Phalanx ; You have 40 million dollars. Then you’ll need 2 of these ; That will make 80 million dollar investment. I would like to see how the cost of MKE phalanx and Gokdeniz ER combo; or...

According to this site Korkut has a bank of 400 rounds: Quote: Korkut 35mm SSA, 200’ü (namlu başına 100) uzaktan kumandalı kule içerisinde 200’ü de araç içinde olmak üzere toplam 400 adet 35mm mermi taşıma kapasitesine sahiptir. Unquote...

This is in line with Tusas's eagerness to produce a working T-929 as soon as possible!

That is valid news supported by US army action re satcom delay on drones. Please don't give Wikipedia as a source either as it can be easily manipulated!

Korkut has 400 rounds of 35mm atom air burst ammunition. How many of these do you need to expend to form a barrier in front of the target? Latest version of phalanx has a 4500rounds/minute fire rate. That means in 20 seconds it uses up all it’s ammo. Korkut fires at a rate of 1100rounds/minute...

According to Tusas site: ATAK Programı kapsamında, Türk Kara Kuvvetleri’ne 59’u kesin 32’si opsiyonel toplam 91 adet, İçişleri Bakanlığı’na 24’ü kesin 3’ü opsiyonel toplam 27 adet, Pakistan Kara Kuvvetleri’ne 30 adet, Filipinler Hava Kuvvetleri’ne 6 adet T129 ATAK Helikopteri teslim edilecektir...

In an interview Mr Kotil said there will be 83 altogether. (Not counting the option quantities)

I know about everything you have mentioned. The delay is not just 250ms. It is double that because signal has to come back to the operator too. We seem to be saying more or less same thing. Yes. But it doesn’t detract from the fact that there is a significant time delay in Satcom operated drones...

Not necessarily! 20mm Phalanx system is imported, and costly. Korkut and Gokdeniz are local production and have many commonalities. If you think about economies of scale, then Korkut/Gokdeniz appears to be more economical way to go for us. Also it has a longer engagement range than Phalanx, and...

C-RAM is the acronym for ; Counter-Rocket, Artillery and Missile There are many versions. Best known one is the US Phalanx CIWS. Yes both our Gokdeniz and the MKE’s Phalanx lookalike CWIS solutions can be used as C-RAMs. In fact Gokdeniz has been developed for naval use from “Korkut” close in...

if the satellite is positioned at 36000km orbit, and your receiver is in Texas; then you send a signal to Afghanistan which is 13000km away then your signal first goes up 36000km, then travels (36x36) +(13x13) = √1465 = 38275km to Afghanistan. That is best part of 80000km. Then it has to come...

It has 2 x 12.7mm auto-controlled guns. Plus a helicopter that can have ASW and ASuW capability; if and when the need arises. All training and “Intelligence” ships of this ilk do not have weapons on board in order not to make themselves a target. It’s electronic systems are the best weapons it...

KAI-KF-21 Bramae has got 6 prototypes built. These will be furnishing Koreans with invaluable data whilst being tested on the ground, and after first flight this year, with initial flight data to be used in serial production stage. I can’t wait to see the same stage for TFX. Hurry up March...

Actually it is around that figure. Just check a TV that has satellite connection, and one that is receiving signal from land bases. I remember in UK, Brazil scoring against us in 2002 world cup, on my kitchen TV before my lounge TV could show it. It was most annoying and like a time warp effect...

Yes it is the same with all satcoms. In Afghanistan, the local bases used to execute take off and lading procedures. Once the Predators were airborne Texas USA used to take over the flying. To hit targets on the ground once locked, was not a problem in spite of the latency of the signal. If...

Most UAV’s work on the principle of “Line-Of-Sight”. From a land based control centre the distance to control UAVs is limited to around 150km. This is governed by , equipment power and the geographic limitations too. But if a UAV is at around 20000ft the line of sight communication distance can...
