Current level of Hybrid technology is such that you do not need a transmission anymore. Hence space and overall weight savings. Li-ion battery technology has increased so much that they do not take as much space as they once did. Also remember that batteries can be placed anywhere within the...

There is so much public pressure about the Altay tank that to take the pressure off they will probably be producing a number of tanks - possibly less than a dozen or so in the months to come - with the spare MTU engines they have for the leo2a4‘s. Also refurbish and upgrade the 5 prototypes...

I don’t think we will have any problem building the plane with all the technical help from BAE Systems and the know how we have accumulated building f35, f16 etc. Most important part of the plane is the engine. Without it, all of this is immaterial. With Altay we made the mistake of not...

What I most like about these ships is that, they have capability to fire trg122 , trg230 and trg300 from their decks. The deficiency of our fleet’s land bombardment before a landing is hence alleviated and may be removed altogether. To bomb precisely the enemy positions before a landing is...

Please don’t forget L403 Sancaktar; Bayraktar’s sister ship.

I do not understand the amount of animosity and hatred UAE has against Turkey. Where does that originate from! They are so far away. They do not have global power aspirations. What have they got against Turkey? Or are they being manipulated by another power that is holding their strings?

I think we will see a t-629 being navalised rather than a t-129. It may take as long as 2023 before it becomes a reality. As no new t-129 helicopters are being delivered, one can’t help but think that the t-129 production has either stopped to make way fort-629 or there is some engine embargo...

TCG Anadolu, needs navalised helicopters on it’s deck. Also the crafts it is going to carry are not all ready yet. I know that the Super-Cobra’s we have are navalised and would be suitable. But we still do need Sea hawks and Navalised Chinooks and/or Atak helicopters.

Let us agree to disagree!

Please do not underestimate the awareness and power of public. It is not just the public that were kept in the dark but the health workers and other responsible people too. Of course it matters to the general public. Just to give a rosy picture for the benefit of the tourism sector and the...

I do not agree with you about the announcement part. It is important to announce the ”real” number of cases. People have the right to know. If you know the severity of the situation you react accordingly. Government reacts accordingly. This is a life or death situation. State of economy is...

https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2020/09/land-based-anti-ship-missiles-and-the-u-s-marine-corps-options-available/ US is planning to use it’s ATACAMS modified HIMARS missiles as land and ship launched anti ship missiles with their 300 km range. This brings me to a previous message once...

To add to this. Once we have mastered the ramjet engine, the natural next step will be the scramjet missiles. These missiles will be real game changers for us. As it stands no one has the means to stop these. They will be real carrier killers, launched from ships or planes.

Ramjet maxes out at 6 mach. It will not work unless it is at supersonic speeds. So it has to have a solid fuel engine or booster to bring it to the right speed. In the case of the Meteor missile; solid propellant nozzleless booster is integrated within the ramcombustor and accelerates the...

Aesa radars need a lot of power. So the platform carrying them has to have engines that can provide enough juice for say 3+ megawatt transmission power and 5+ KW average power. Why do you think 5th generation planes have very powerful engines (apart from high super cruise capability)? The radar...

There are ~6.5 million Jews living in Israel There are ~7.5 million Jews living in USA they constitute more than 80% of all Jews in the world. According to a study carried out in USA, the median net worth of people believing in Judaism is calculated at 150,890 USD, while the median net worth of...

An old friend of mine’s father was an F16 pilot. He used to say f4 and f16 taking off together is such that ; literally the f16 would take off, make loop, come back and take off together with the f4 again. They are slow beasts to get off the ground. Engines are turbojet. So in theory should be...

In that case why did TuAF buy S400 system?

Have you checked the length and width of both missiles? Barak 8 275 kg, 4.5m in length, 22/54cm diameter, 2 Mach speed, range 100km ESSM 280 Kg, 3.7m in length, 25cm diameter, 4 Mach speed, range 50+km( more like 70km) They are quite different types of rockets In their designs. they may look...

We do need a jet UAV going forward. As I explained above the TS1400 engine can not be transformed in to a turbofan engine. But a turbofan engine redesigned around TS1400 engine that would give a thrust of 8500-9500lbf thrust would be ideal for a stealth jet UAV. Being a turbofan it would be more...
