What about it? I don’t quite understand your question. What has it got anything to do with hitting a tank with a missile and it’s survival? Can you explain what you mean pls?

Crew may survive. But the tank is close to destroyed with a 155mm round. But with a Teber or Lacin (moving target version of Teber) delivering 89 kg of explosives no tank would stand a chance. It would totally demolish the tank. There won’t be much left of the crew either as the whole armoury of...

Most important properties of SOM missile is it’s constructional geometry, materials and paint. They impart a “stealth” property to the missile. With a very low RCS , this makes the missile deadly. I can’t wait to see the C and J versions of this missile which will allow it to hit moving sea...

There was a picture taken in Iraq, of an M1Abrams tank turned upside down, sitting on it‘s turret after a 155mm round exploded right next to it. A 155mm round weighs ~43.2kg and contains 6.6 kg of explosives. Do not underestimate the power of HE rounds. 90 kg of explosives is HUGE! Look what...

I am afraid we have to worry about it until Turkey’s current leadership accepts Sisi government as legitimate and/or forms peaceful relations as per the two nations actually want. And Egyptian leadership does not take a stance against Turkey in international matters such as aligning itself with...

With the amount of military build up Egyptian army is going through - even though it is a mish mash of all sorts - it will be a force we will have to think about confronting; considering the fact that we have sea borders in the Eastern Mediterranean. Quantitatively and on paper they are bigger...

In a way this is quite good. Map it all! Find out if it is worth fighting for; and then put it on bargaining table if it is not worth it against areas that contain potential reserves.

As it is 1600 HP and TJ as you say ; this is a thrust HP. Not Shaft HP! According to Cabatli-53’s above share, two of these engines with this sort of dry thrust, can easily power a subsonic Hurjet or a supersonic Goksungur.

Kale/P&W 51/49 partnership is producing parts for the f35 engine. It is a shame that this privately owned partnership is more quick profit orientated than future investment orientated like TEI. Hence the lack of mentionable indigenous engine development ! But this could hopefully change once the...

In many instances Mahmut Aksit has mentioned that with the success attained when making the ts1400 engine, they will be able to develop a turbofan engine in the future. He has also said in various videos that there is work being carried out on the engine for TFX. But we have to be aware of the...

It is very important that not everything is revealed to the public when it comes to strategic military matters. Bora2, Gezgin, Temren, MRAShM, Atmaca, MIUS, Ramjet/Scramjet These are just a few strategic weapons we have that are may be ready or still under development, really need to be kept...

YES. But I was contemplating that a Medium range anti ship missile with a range of approximately 100km range would be better than a Temren with a range of 32km. Of course, penguin is a high subsonic solid propellant anti ship missile. A longer range L-Umtas is a closer equivalent (as Umtas is a...

Before you become confrontational, I suggest you check some figures! Mr Ethem Sancak has said it himself that the other competitor (KOC) gave a price of 7 billion Euros for 250 Altay tanks. As BMC their offer was for 4 billion Euros. But RTE shaved of a further 0.5 billion Euros. And the deal...

Temren missile has become a myth! Yes these were to be produced to replace the ageing Penguin anti ship missiles fired from S60 Seahawk helicopters. We have 24 Sea Hawks so this missile with a range of 35-50 km is important. First trials were with a L-Umtas missile adapted for seahawks. But...

Atmaca missile is expected to be around 1.2 millon dolars. But prices should come down with locally sourced englne - ktj3200 - . Also as more orders are placed cheaper prices can be attained. Harpoon Block 2 which is very similar in performance is close to 1.4 million dollars. ( Our Harpoons on...

Exactly! Even if it costs more, local production is the key!

USA makes Abrams tank. With today’s money it comes to around 9.8 million dollars each. We make Altay with “cheap Turkish work force” . It comes to over 16 million dollars each. There are economies of scale here in play. But also a lot of middle men creaming the top. SOM and Atmaca missiles cost...

Atak 2 helicopter will be heavier and more powerful than Apache helicopters. In 2015 India purchased 22 Apache’s for 2.1 billion dollars. Do we really need and can we really afford to pay over 100 million dollars for each of these helicopters? Two of them will make a Milgem Corvette. We have...

SSB president Ismail Demi has said something interesting to a newspaper; Quote: 2023 yılında hangardan çıkarıp bütün dünyaya nasıl bir uçak olacağını göstereceğiz. Ardından bir dizi test ve sonrasında uçuşu olacak. Uçağın tasarımı konusunda İngiliz BAE’den mühendislik desteği almak üzere...
