As it is lighter, smaller and cheaper, it is advantageous. Like you say it is a much improved RAM replacement. There is an ER version which is heavier, longer and has 45 km range. A bit smaller than ESSM . That is why I saw a resemblance. https://www.mbda-systems.com/product/camm-er/

Is there a time limit to LM having jurisdiction over our f16’s. I seem to remember reading somewhere that after 30 years we can start altering or adding parts without LM‘s permission. Is this true I wonder? If true; Then block 30’s are all available and block 49 planes will be available...

As far as I can see it, this is UK’s shot at their own ESSM type airdefence system. UK is not a member of the ESSM consortium. Currently they are using aster 15 missiles on their frigates and destroyers. Aster is owned 66% by France and 33% by Italy. We are currently developing a range of...

They have opened the nose. I wonder if a new AESA radar is to be fitted?

The future of battlefield dominance will be governed by the speed, quality and quantity of your missile arsenal. Russians are on the right track here. They know they can not compete with US’s carrier fleet and air dominance over the battlefield. So they are focusing on hypersonic missiles like...

This is good news. I think both HGK and KGK are fantastic weapons. They transform a dumb bomb in to a smart ammunition with a fraction of the cost. HGK has a 15 km range when dropped at 30K feet. This means aircraft dropping it is already within reach of enemy’s mid range AD systems. I would...

No I was not! You have misunderstood! I was only giving an example of how expensive a micro jet engine is. Somebody suggested to use a microjet engine to drive kuzgun ammunition. I said it is cheaper to use a solid fuel engine like the one on trg230 to make it faster and cheaper. Then you said...

If modernised to accommodate a120mm gun and brought to a battle ready condition like the M60T1 sabra tanks, these machines could still serve the army. But this could be too costly to undertake. So I can’t see Turkish Army choosing that route if they can get their hands on Altay proper. If Altay...

MR Kotil said that TFX is going to be an aircraft with capabilities somewhere between f35 and f22. So expect an aircraft almost as good in total awareness and sensors and probably better in stealth with the right engine. But not as good as the f22 in terms of stealthiness. In the meantime expect...

Just look at the top where the remote control machine gun is. All the internal wiring is in the open and showing the guts of the system. This is not very good. Not for a country like ours. https://defencehub.live/attachments/1611929887726-jpeg.12998/

We can dream though. Can’t we? It is theoretical and at best post 2035!

I agree! A twin engined navalised Hurjet is a more likely candidate for a carrier. Especially if it’s design can be altered a bit to make it more stealthy as well! All conventional jets operating from carriers ( not VSTOL ones) are twin engined planes. (f4J, f4K, f14, f18, mig29k, Su33).

Total destruction or completely destroying an airbase can only occur if you nuke it. Otherwise there will still be enemy assets no matter how much bombing you do. The idea is to bomb the right positions to destroy the enemy’s core fighting force to make them lose air superiority. What you are...

456?? ok found it.

I would be happy with 1 advanced ship per year in Our case!!😃 On a different note; Quantity can not beat quality! Japan + USA + South Korea technologically still superior to the Chinese Naval power.

Looking at the two pictures below of Altay new armour (first picture), and Leo2 with Altay lookalike turret, one cannot help but think if they are just mock-ups. In the video, they did not rotate the turret once. Also the two turrets are not exactly the same. It is like the one on the Leo2 is...

I hope these prototypes are updated to the latest specs and fitted with new Akkor active protection then given to the army for them to add to their inventory. We need every single one of them to be battle ready. In fact it would be great if they can be tested in Northern Syria to get them battle...

Again you are mixing apples with pears. TRG230 is a cheap artillery rocket. It has longer reach than a 155mm shell. And it is very accurate. It is high supersonic. Very fast. TRG230 has a ballistic trajectory. SOM is a different missile altogether. Very expensive and a tactical cruise missile...

We are not talking about Armenian capabilities. We are talking about a military like Greece or like Turkey. Bombing of logistic centres, refuelling depots, is more productive than just bombing the runways. Besides I don’t understand what you are “come onnn” ing about. Have you read what I have...

Confirmed! F515 Frigate is to have an Aesa based radar called HAZAR by Aselsan with a range of 250km. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tcg-istanbul-aselsan-hazar-radari/
