http://azeridaily.com/news/37539 Apparently it is the block 3 JF17 that the Azerbaijani airforce is interested in. This block of JF17 comes with a Chinese Aesa radar, IRST system and a Chinese helmet mounted display, plus a range of improvements taken from J20. (Mind you, the block 2 can also...

Addition of composite materials in it’s structure is going to make it significantly lighter than the specified 540kg weight. But this advantage may be used in more fuel and/or explosives to make it go longer and/or be more destructive. Of course the use of composite materials will mean standard...

https://www.livik.net/2021/09/09/the-composite-touch-in-som-j-will-be-reflected-in-other-missiles/ SOM-J missile will have composite body rather than an aluminium body. This will mean significant reduction in weight and extension of range. May be as once mentioned by Gurcan Okumus, it will also...

Correct! To get TCG Anadolu ready may be even later. But to navalise a helicopter means you almost have to re-build it from scratch. Landing gears will be much stronger. Structure of the helicopter will be made to withstand rough landings on deck. All equipment, including PCBs, in the inside of...

There is no second engine! Dual pulse motors have like, two fuel tanks. The engine uses first part of fuel when launched. Then at terminal phase when the missile start losing speed it uses the fuel in the second section to catch up with target at high speed.

I think you will find that it is actually the last of the Hisar series; Probably, Hisar-U. These Hisar series air defence missiles we are developing are all based on dual pulse motor Technology where only half of fuel is used in launch then the remainder of fuel is used at terminal phase...

Also I don’t really care how Mr Sisi has come to power. He is the leader of a country we have had centuries old (in fact over a millennia old) relations with. We can not afford to fall out over political technicalities. Especially when there is a lot at stake for both countries.

Yes it will super cruise. I have feeling that it will super cruise in the definition of US hand book. Over 1.5 times speed of sound at the least.

I do not have enough information to know what Mr Sisi has done for Egypt. But anything is better than radical religious administration. Secularism is the way for all developing countries. But that only comes with right level of education.

Looking at the engine design office, TRMotor‘s published engine pictures, it will have a lot of similarities with the F110GE132 engine. Especially the long chord blisk fan configuration used. This engine develops 32000 lbf thrust. But has a potential of 33–35000lbf Thrust. Going forward, for a...

That is a rather wide range for diameter!

One main thing Li-Ion batteries don’t like is water. Japanese use them in Soryu class submarines. Tesla use them on their all electric cars. Cars do have accidents. If there were health and safety issues about them, US and almost all other governments would never allow them on the road.

I agree. But when you have no navalised helicopters to station on your LHD, what are you to do? Wait until you navalised t-129 and t-929? How long do you think the navalised versions will take to build?

TRG230 and TRG300 have top speeds of 4.2 Mach. Bora achieves hypersonic speeds. But these speeds are achieved as the missiles are diving towards Earth in the rarified layers of atmosphere. Depending on their angle of descents and their aerodynamic structures, these missiles lose a lot of their...

Aren’t these AH1W super cobras the navalised versions that we could use on TCG Anadolu?

https://www.defenceturk.net/ssb-baskani-ismail-demirden-milli-muharip-ucak-projesine-dair-aciklamalar Ismail Demir has answered some critical questions on the TFX engine. He has stated that even though previously, we had some issues with RR on the production of an engine suitable for TFX, we are...

@Ka-52 Alligator , Just to add to @Zafer ’s info on munitions; Firtina ammunition comes in various forms. As well as standard rounds there are base-bleed rounds that give 40km range. Also 105mm and 155mm rounds recently have been augmented with a range correction attachment produced by Aselsan...

These engines use diesel for fuel. Quite convenient when you have a diesel combustion engine as well. So Russians finally managed to produce their own marine gas turbines.
