    Speed of an AD missile is not a big issue in hitting it’s target. If the search radar has the range and the seeker head is good and doing it’s job properly, it should be able to target and hit even supersonic missiles. Barak8 can hit Brahmos missile. It is supposed to have stopped the famous...

    Good for money laundering and untraceable cash transactions. Clears the way to widespread fraud at all levels too!! It needs very strict third party control mechanisms in place before it is usable. It needs to be extra safe!

    Good question! I too would like to know 100%, the true range of these missiles. Mr I Demir said that Hisar A & O are now upgraded to A+ & O+. There is also a RF version with extended altitude and range. A lot of range figures are flying up in the air. But the truth is that the range figure of...

    According to this. It’s range was 70km. It was extended to 100km. But doesn’t say how. Quote: The Barak 8 is a 275 kg missile with a 225 mm diameter (the booster is 540 mm wide), a fin span of 940 mm, and a length of 4.5 m. It is propelled by a two-stage smokeless pulsed rocket motor with a...

    Yes. Range being a bit conservative. Barak 8 is a dual stage missile; It has a big booster. Then the dual pulse motor. I think the actual flight speed is a bit lower too. http://www.military-today.com/missiles/barak_8.htm

    Just check, how big supersonic wind tunnels are. Look at the ones that NASA is using. Biggest one is the Abe Silverstein wind tunnel. That is 10 ft x 10 ft. Glenn Research centre uses a 8 x 6 ft supersonic wind tunnel. Aerolab Services offers supersonic wind tunnels of 1inch x 1inch and 12inch x...

    Energy efficiency is definitely important. Tulomsas has produced 4 x 2200HP engines to power the largest ferry Turkey has. It is a 4000+ ton ferryboat carrying trains across Lake Van. Each engine uses about 400 litres of fuel per hour. There are 4 propellers and only a single engine can power...

    Have you seen Turkish production lines? Yes, automation in almost all parts of the industry is valid. Albeit In different degrees. But it is there. Labour costs are not cheap in Turkey. Qualified production line workers may cost over 1000-1500 Euros per month to the employers. This could be...

    That is just a wishful thinking post of a member. There will however, be an automated production line for TFX. Tusas has already built a new factory to produce TFX. TurAF will need 250-300 planes before 2040. Some of the close allies and local countries may want to purchase this plane. So...

    Tulomsas has managed to produce an operational marine diesel engine with a power output of 2400HP. Our Ada class uses 2 x 5800 HP engines. So they need to double their power output for bigger ships. It is also possible to use diesels in 4 x 2500 HP as used in type 26 frigates where the diesels...

    Japan, Vietnam sign defense deal as China worries loom

    I thought you were going to give me concrete reasons and proof about US navy being third powerful in the world. But in stead you have sidetracked, moved the goalpost and also contradicted yourself at the end of the first paragraph by admitting that US navy could defeat all the navies in the...

    Can you clarify as to how you have come to the idea that Chinese and Japanese Navies are ahead of US? Regarding Chinese fighting US; I don’t think that this will ever happen. Two nuclear powers will not fight each other. But Chinese may fight Japan, Taiwan and Korea. US will help them and use...

    The locomotives and all structural units are produced in house. Regrading Diesel engines, for example the last 1000hp marine engine was produced with 86% domestic contribution. With investment in latest CNC equipment they can now work on the motor frame 90% faster. On hybrid locomotive engines...

    Tulomsas is actually a locomotive builder. Tülomsaş, the only locomotive supplier in Turkey with a longstanding and vast experience in manufacturing and maintenance, started in 1894 as a maintenance and repair workshop for locomotives. As an affiliated company of the Turkish Railways, Tülomsaş...

    Our new MRAShM with TJ-300 engine could be a candidate for this ship if they decide not to use the Atmaca. With radars renewed they may decide on the latter.
