Good simple straightforward maths calculation. But, different airframes and different designs behave differently with respect to lift and speed through air. One simple example is F414 engine; Mako/Heat plane does max 1.6 Mach (single engined) Gripen jet does 2 Mach (single engined) HAL TED BF...

We mustn’t forget that the wings will be folded!

TB3 MTOW is going to be 1200 kg in total. MIUS is going to be in excess of 3500kg. It is difficult to use the same hydraulic arresting wire system for stopping both planes unless TB3 is extra strengthened or another method of varying the hydraulic pressure is found. Otherwise electromagnetic...

Drones like TB3 and subsonic/supersonic MIUS will be able to provide good defensive cover to TCG Anadolu. But we mustn’t forget that, all but foremost, this is an LHD (Landing Helicopter Dock). Hence has to be treated and deployed as such. Even if we had access to F35B planes, it would not have...

Then for a person like that, a great insight at least. That ship needs as much defensive missiles as you can cram in to it’s nooks and crannies. Since we won’t have TF2000 for along time, we should take a page from Japan’s, re: of their “helicopter destroyers” Like the Hyuga class: check out the...

That is one expensive defensive set-up. But that ship needed something like that. Now it is the turn of ESSM or G40 launchers! That will complete one level of defence at least.

İbrahim Sunnetci had mentioned in one of his articles that an engine the size of TS1400 would lend itself to a turbofan with 8-9000lbf thrust if necessary changes to the flow characteristics of the engine were made. This would mean around 5-6000lbf dry thrust.

I understand where you are coming from. I agree that we need more planes. CAS is not the main issue. Yes! But do we need more good dog-fighters? Or do we need good BVR fighters? In my opinion, we need planes that can get to it’s stand off position quickly (super cruise at altitude) , planes...

Su 57 is a monster of a plane. It looks most capable for air superiority, especially with the izdeliye 30 integrated. But it is Russian. So much change is needed within our system. Deliveries will be post 2027 if Russian orders are met first. It should be the last resort. Gripen is full of...

These upgrades are done with most parts coming from LM in kit form. Only a handful of parts are produced by Tusas. After this modernisation work, there will be a complete overhaul and modernisation of avionics. This though without the new Aesa radar is not going to give an edge to our airforce...

I think that the SUNGUR Missile, which I believe has a Mach 2.2+ speed, uses an "annular blast fragmentation" type warhead of at least 3kg like the Stinger. If developed as a block 2 version with higher altitude and longer range, it will be just what the doctor ordered. In fact according to head...

Why get a car that “drives like Mercedes” when you can get the real Mc Coy. As @UkroTurk 🚬 has mentioned both Phalanx and Gokdeniz are superior to Sea Zenith, which is much slower and 1980’s technology. RAM or a good 1 to10+km range 2+Mach missile that can operate like a RAM, is also essential...

These ships will be the most effective and modern ships of the fleet after their modernisation are completed . Originally programmed for February 2021 for the first ship’s delivery and postponed due to intensified activity in the Eastern Med; They are also the fastest ships in the fleet...

https://www.savunmasanayiidergilik.com/tr/HaberDergilik/ROKETSAN-ucak-bombalarinin-etkinligini-artiriyor Same news. But bit more write up on the subject. Apparently Roketsan is fitting TEBER guidance kit to the particle effect Mk81 and Mk82 bombs to increase their effectiveness and precision...

F35 was going to replace ageing F4-2000 jets. As well as being a deep strike aircraft, F35-A is also a stealthy flying computer. But if it were to replace F4-2000 jets, then we were thinking of using these in “beast mode”. Their technological advantage was a bonus, that came with the plane. So...

From @Hexciter ‘s post I understand that all the A+ series production has been completed and stopped. New ones, where A+ or O+ are needed, will all be O+ from now on. If, so far, they haven’t delivered 15 systems then they will be delivered as O+ in due course. So the question stands : How many...

Drag coefficient values through water would be identical to air. That is physics. Aerodynamics and fluidics laws govern these. When fully submerged a submarine goes faster. Because it’s aerodynamic shape allows this to happen and there are no external factors like waves etc. But when it is at...

Banshee seems to be slower than Simsek target plane. (Half the speed of Simsek) . Which supersonic target is tested?

Can you elaborate please? Are you suggesting that drag coefficient changes with speed?
