Cost of flight hours is only one side of the medallion. Yes by having drones up in the air for bombing missions is cheaper than jet fighters. But to have continuous aerial assets up in the air is invaluable. And when they are cheap too, that is the icing on the cake. The other side of the...

Kuzgun is a new family of missiles that is modular, low-cost, suitable for multi-use, high strike sensitivity and low collateral damage. Addition of a turbojet propulsion engine, especially an imported one, will make this missile fairly expensive. As a winged glide bomb like a KGK, it is much...

Ivchenko Progress is a design bureau. Very much like our TR Motor. They have no means of production. More importantly, the production facility, Motor Sich, that is supposed to produce engines designed by Ivchenko Progress, has not produced a new design since the collapse of Soviets. Therefore...

https://m5dergi.com/savunma-haberleri/milli-seyir-fuzesi-som-karadan-ve-denizden-firlatilabilir/ According to Gurcan Okumus, the head of Tubitak Sage, the SOM missiles have a modular and expandable architecture. Hence can be easily modified so that it can be launched from Sea and Land positions...

TJ300 is actually an axial flow engine. Mr Aksit had stated that they produced this engine as a test engine to see if they could build an axial flow version of a jet engine. Quote: Totally designed and developed locally with national means in cooperation with TUBITAK, TEI and Roketsan the TJ-...

Correct! That is why single crystal super alloy blades were invented. To stop crystal lattices sliding over each other within the crystal structure of super alloys. But actually, “Creep” still occurs within the single crystal super alloys. The whole crystal will stretch under extreme heat and...

Correct line of thought! But there is no TS3000 in hand. We don’t even know where TEI is with it’s development. One would think that they are developing both the TS and TF versions of it side by side. A 12-13000lbf dry thrust should give around 20-22000lbf with After Burner. And that should be...

TF6000 is probably an engine that has 6000lbf dry thrust. If so, it would put it as a derivative of TS1400. If TS 1400 is redesigned to be an axial flow turbofan engine, it would turn out to be a 6000lbf dry thrust engine like TF6000. That sized engine is well within the scope of TEI’s...

It seems like “engine” problem is causing another delay in our prototype production. Mark my word, TFX will be a victim of engine hold up too! When will we learn? Why not get your engine first. EJ200 or RD93 . Have them ready and then start development. Now they say engine won’t be coming in...

It is possible. Yes. But when you have two different forces (airforce and navy) that want different missiles for themselves, you get a Harpoon beater and a storm shadow lookalike. Now that we have Mr Ismail Demir in charge of all new such developments we hope that one Swiss knife that serves...

Two different designs. They are superior to each other in their own right. Atmaca There is a version that is being prepared for launching from land to sea targets. (The initial firing tests were done from land positions toward the sea) Also beach and inner areas of land will be targeted with the...

Are we writing in “Middle Eastern Political Situation” thread or Turkish Gulded munitions thread? If we get back to the main news; Yes the addition of SOM-C 1 & 2 to the range will be a game changer for all navies in the Eastern Mediterranean. A sea-skimming totally stealthy missile with a...

https://m5dergi.com/savunma-haberleri/tubitak-sage-som-c1-ve-c2-atisina-hazirlaniyor/ Finally SOM-C1 & C2 , which are capable of hitting moving sea targets will be test fired within 2022 according to the above news. At least we have sort of a “date” now!!!

I did say that Russian missiles are good! And “cheap”. That is why US is buying space faring rockets from Russia. Gas is a natural resource!!?? You are correct. If Russians offer of TOT, involves real missile and radar tech transfer, all the merrier! Any less is not really interesting...

We can’t really turn our backs to the West completely. Our defence industry, for once, is based on Western technology. Machinery we use to produce the parts that make an engine or the fuselage of a plane, all come from the West. There may be a lot of friction between us. But we will have to...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! To me that is an ugly bitch! This is beautiful:

Most modern jet fighters will cruise around 980km/hour (0.8 Mach) and at an altitude of around 40000ft. In fact that is the speed and altitude at which they are most efficient with respect to engine performance and fuel consumption. Unless there is an urgent battle, a plane has to join, it will...

900km/hr is not too slow a speed. OK, it is not supersonic. But remember that the next version of MIUS will be supersonic. Also in terms of agility I think it will outperform F16 Since there will be no G force constraints. In fact Mr Bayraktar specifically mentioned that it will fight against...

With 6 new Istif Class ships their navy will have more modern frigates than Turkish navy.😂

A car can be travelling at 200km/hour on a motorway, and you could be walking at a speed of 3km/hour. But if you adjust your speed and direction of walking well enough, you can still hit the car. S400 works somehow in a similar way. The 250 and 200km range missiles are capable of just about...
