    Another important point that needs to be stressed about the Scramjet engined hypersonic missiles is the fact that during the last stage of it‘s flight when the missile is most vulnerable to Air-Defence systems, it can increase it’s speed up to higher hypersonic (8-10mach) velocities where it...

    Very good interview with the Head of TÜBİTAK-Sage. I was especially moved by two comments: 1. Ramjet engine and missile test to be carried out next year. 2. Bozdogan based Turkish RAM system. Ramjet missile research will lead the way to our homegrown Meteor missile. Beauty of this engine is...

    Great to have a cheap multi barrel launcher at your disposal in battlefield. But if you can’t control firing and targeting from inside the vehicle, you might as well stick this on the back of a cheap Toyota L200 pickup truck.

    Short answer: There is no reason that a low observable aircraft should suffer in maneuverability, if properly designed, and the F-22 and YF-23 are proof of concept. Again, if an aircraft is properly designed for a particular role and maintains strict design discipline and focus on the goals for...

    TS1400 turboshaft engine core, if rebuilt as an axial flow turbofan, would yield itself to an engine with a thrust of 8500lbf to 9500lbf, according to Mr I Sunnetci. That probably takes in to account the afterburner thrust. So as dry thrust that engine should develop 6000lbf. That will be good...

    It is becoming tedious to hear 70%, 90% etc% domestic crap! If an equipment is produced in Turkey without the need to import it’s major constituent parts then it is domestically produced. Any locally sourced domestic or foreign produced parts, if are not and will not be subject to restriction...

    I don’t think he is lying. He is giving what he has been told to give. When it comes to national matters, keeping some truths close to your chest can not be construed as lying.

    To be a stickler for exact numbers, you are correct. But when you have a company like Roketsan and Aselsan who have been instrumental in the development of ESSM and ESSM-2 missiles; Isn’t it right to think and expect that they can build a missile with the size and appearance of an enlarged...

    1hr32nd minute; Mete Yarar claims he knows and he is aware that the Aesa radars are being fitted on to Turkish F16’s. Very bold and important claim. If true, GREAT news!

    That 15-16 m plane sounds like an indigenous 4++ gen f16 V80? (F16 length is 15.06m and the wingspan is 9.96m.) But this is the logical way forward. One engine 2 planes. Only reservation I would have is the fact that we need light attack planes with Aesa radar soon. Hurjet with a 20000+lbf...

    No one has said that here! In fact if you investigate, you will find that the dv27k engine shares a lot of similarities with German engine. It took them over 2 years to crack through German machine and produce DV27K. They may have even used a number of German parts. (which we can not do)...

    Taken from @boracetkin #883 @Eagleeye If one cannot see the extensive similarities and how much of it so well copied, than one has to get their eyes tested. But this does not detract from the fact that this engine is MADE IN TURKEY!
