If this TISU is going to be a bomber class plane, then it doesn’t need supersonic flight and wont be a fighter. More like a smaller, almost half size, version of the US‘s F-117 Skyhawk. Therefore it will be adequate to use a single non A/B TF6000 engine to give it the thrust it would require...

Do we know the engine used to fly this drone?

Technically possible. It was even mentioned by Ismail Demir that our artillery rocket missiles now have 150km range. For a TRLG230, where you are lighting up with laser a target that is 30-40km inside enemy territory, and firing at it 30km behind the battle front, is a perfectly doable feat. Yet...

Why? Buy it cheap from Russia and Iran for use in Turkiye. Sell yours at a premium to Europe.

Whether accıdentally or intentionally-accidental utterance of a CENK missile’s existence has caused a lot of stir among defence news rooms. There is not enough information even on Tayfun missile. Now we are having to guess what CENK can be. We don’t yet know if Tayfun is a SRBM or a Tactical...

Can you clarify this interesting place?

Having attended many meetings with Europeans over a period of 25 years since 1990’s, one becomes a good judge and reader of body-language. During the last meeting our discussion committees have had with the Swedes and the Finns, what I could read was: “Look at this situation! We are having to...

Dear members please stay on topic in your posts. Also remember that this is a serious thread of the forum. Not a chat site!

That was expected. Otherwise it would have made the SSB and Tusas officials a bunch of liars. So in essence, the engines for the prototypes have been delivered. If @Bogeyman ’s intel were correct, then I t was for the engines of the 16 piece order Tusas received for which the confirmation of...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/gurbag-savunmadan-hidrojen-itkili-lancer-sistemi-gids/ This system can be a godsend to the problems of many a logistical nightmares. It generates hydrogen fuel for each launch process just prior to launch and uses the hydrogen to fuel the launch process. Due to...

Please do not mix apples and pears. Tomahawk missile has a turbofan engine. Kale and Safran engines that propel SOM and Scalp missiles are TurboJet engines. Turbofan engines are more efficient. Use less fuel and have longer ranges. They are also ideal for flying through denser atmospheric...

This engine with 20943lbf thrust (on paper) will fly Hurjet. But remember that this thrust is only available at take off. While flying with the augmented power, the thrust level is a lot less, at 14100lbf. On paper it is more powerful than F404 at take off. But not in actual flight mode. Also...

My bad! Reinstated. as they say in Turkish; wet logs will burn just as well when together with dry ones.😇

Please let us stay on topic. This is a TFX and trainer aircraft projects thread.

As I said in my post, Spain has done it. And will carry on further for T3 equipment integration to allow E-Scan Aesa radar and Meteor missile capability. They intend to keep these planes till 2045 like the British who would like to further modernise some 23 T1 planes so that they can be used...

First of all you said : “you can't change anything, even if you have source codes” So I said it is possible since Spain has done it, albeit up to a point. Now you are saying it is very expensive to do it. I had said that the UK had found it prohibitively expensive for budgetary constraints. So...

Spain recently had their TR1 updated to TR2+ level with a lot of Tranche 3 electronics fitted in, at the Spanish Airbus factories. If you check UK sites in detail , especially UK MOD sites, there are reports that TR1 FGR4 planes can be updated to Tranche 3 - 4 level. But the cost is...

Which Wikipedia you looked at but the one I have just looked says: quote: Hardpoints: Total of 13: 8 × under-wing; and 5 × under-fuselage pylon stations; holding in excess of 9,000 kg (19,800 lb) of payload Unquote.

1. 16 piece order is the starter-order as far as orders go with regards to Hurjet. TuAF needs a lot more than that. Currently there are 68 T38s active out of 78 in the fleet. So we will most likely buy more than the T38s we have in the inventory to replace all these old trainers. Then there...

Gökhan is an air to air missile with a ramjet engine. It is a high supersonic speed missile. Ramjets can’t go above 5 Mach as their fuel usage becomes prohibitively high after Mach 4.5. Ramjet has subsonic air speeds inside the engine. If you increase the flow of air inside the engine to...
