My pleasure! You may find below articles interesting as well. This is on EHPOD, Tubitak has been developing for our F16s. https://www.defenceturkey.com/tr/icerik/f-16-ucagi-elektronik-harp-podu-ehpod-projesinde-kritik-tasarim-safhasi-tamamlandi-3998...

To me this is your current life. Everything else is another place, another life! Like a guy with two wives!!😂

Please stop Greek/Turkish peeing contest, or posts will be deleted.

Below is an interview excerpt taken from Defensehere site: (Thanks goes to our @Combat-Master for his post in another life) Touching on the needs of the Turkish Air Force for aircrafts, Demir said the following: "Liberty is a project carried out independently of the USA. So, if we were to be...

Well, at the moment the only Ozgur F16s will be block 30 versions. They are just going through the structural modernisations. They are the ones, the prototype Ozgur modifications were tried on. Block 30 are the oldest F16 planes we have. But it is only logical to expect these to be fitted with...

https://www.kokpitteyiz.com/f-16-tum-block-modelleri-ve-farklari/ You can read all different block particulars here. They are in Turkish but will give a good insight in to the F16s differences. Our Block 30’s are quite different to other block 30’s. They have more powerful engines and better range.

Ozgur’s flight control computer is home made. So we have full control over what the plane can do. But apart from that the avionics and all other cockpit screens etc are on par with V70. V70’s Aesa radar uses GaAs technology. Aselsan’s Aesa radar is going to have much superior GaN technology...

That ship looks good. It is going to be a big asset for TN. But I still insist on it having more defensive and offensive weapons on board to make it more like a destroyer class warship. I would like to see multiple positions for ULAQ class unmanned missile and torpedo boats. Look at Cavour’s...

True! We need to make a point by trying to buy more planes to recover the monies we have with the US company. There are many faces of this medallion though; 1. Do we really need 40 more planes if we have the capability to furnish all our existing F16s with new flight computers, Aesa radars...

I think you will find that we only have partial access to some of the planes‘ computer programming. We are managing to introduce all our own indigenous weapons to the planes as US counterparts. (KGK as JSOW , HGK as JDAM, SOM as JASSM, GOKDOGAN as AMRAAM etc etc) . Currently we have no problems...

According to this site (I am not sure how trustworthy the site is. I have only just come across it) all F16s block 30 planes that were placed in hangar for structural upgrades may have had their “Ozgur” modernisation completed before they have left - sans Aesa - . It reckons Aesa will be...

That danger is always there. But…. We have frigates and corvettes being built in our own shipyards. US has not made it difficult with the supply of gas turbines for them. GE has signed a MOU with our TEI to service and part production of LM2500 and LM500 gas turbines. We have a Blackhawk...

Looking at the modern missile systems of now and to come; any CIWS system short of engagement range of 3 km is going to be not sufficient to stop supersonic missiles. Phalanx can hit targets at around 1500m max. Latest version of Phalanx has a range of 5500m. But the effective real life hit to...

(Rolling Airfrane Missiles) RAM with 21 missiles costs around 25million dollars. Plus a14 million dollars of Phalanx ; You have 40 million dollars. Then you’ll need 2 of these ; That will make 80 million dollar investment. I would like to see how the cost of MKE phalanx and Gokdeniz ER combo; or...

According to this site Korkut has a bank of 400 rounds: Quote: Korkut 35mm SSA, 200’ü (namlu başına 100) uzaktan kumandalı kule içerisinde 200’ü de araç içinde olmak üzere toplam 400 adet 35mm mermi taşıma kapasitesine sahiptir. Unquote...

This is in line with Tusas's eagerness to produce a working T-929 as soon as possible!

That is valid news supported by US army action re satcom delay on drones. Please don't give Wikipedia as a source either as it can be easily manipulated!

Korkut has 400 rounds of 35mm atom air burst ammunition. How many of these do you need to expend to form a barrier in front of the target? Latest version of phalanx has a 4500rounds/minute fire rate. That means in 20 seconds it uses up all it’s ammo. Korkut fires at a rate of 1100rounds/minute...

According to Tusas site: ATAK Programı kapsamında, Türk Kara Kuvvetleri’ne 59’u kesin 32’si opsiyonel toplam 91 adet, İçişleri Bakanlığı’na 24’ü kesin 3’ü opsiyonel toplam 27 adet, Pakistan Kara Kuvvetleri’ne 30 adet, Filipinler Hava Kuvvetleri’ne 6 adet T129 ATAK Helikopteri teslim edilecektir...

In an interview Mr Kotil said there will be 83 altogether. (Not counting the option quantities)
