According to this news, Kuzgun is to have a Czech PBS TJ40 jet engine to power it.

That is not the case I am afraid. IP rights issue was to do with Rolls Royce and TR Motor. Also converging all engine production under the same umbrella would give more control. But can TRMotor be up to the task of designing such a complex engine? Probably not as they are seeking technical...

Let us leave the political side of the Altay project to one side. Everyone knows what happened and why, in their own way. Important point is, with current situation where are we? Can we have a MBT production line churning out Altay Tanks in numbers? If so! When? Which company is most qualified...

We definitely needed all these motors. But why on earth no one has ever given the go ahead to TEI to design and produce a turbofan motor for TFX or even for Hurjet? Instead of tossing around with TR Motor and now with Ivchenko Progress, it is beyond belief that TEI has not been asked to do the...

AI9500F is an engine in only Ivchenko Progress’s new engine development program. No physical engine! And I doubt very much if it will ever materialise either. If you check Motor Sich site you will not find this engine. quote: The company also is continuing research on a new engine that builds...

OK I can understand that line of reasoning. But don’t you think that, considering the long timescale in question, it is a rather laid back way of giving deadlines to TAI? In a way isn’t it letting them take their time?

Very true! Most parameters of an engine and it’s related data is stored in computers and it is easier to work from a known template upwards or downwards in terms of power output, thrust etc. TEI would have most of this information in it’s database for f110. It wouldn’t be too difficult to...

This is not in line with what Temel Kotil was preaching; First block of 4+ Genelation TFX being delivered in 2028-29 and having two planes per month production speed! According to this timeline we will have to wait 14 years before we have a squadron of operational TFX, and the production rate is...

None as far as I know. Even though these missiles have disposable engines, they still cost quite a bit. To waste two at a time would be too extravagant! Never mind the weight and space restrictions they would have to tackle.

Gezgin is supposedly a cruise missile similar to US’s Tomahawk. Very long range subsonic missile that is powered by a disposable turbofan jet engine. SOM is more akin to a Storm-Shadow or JSSM. These are “stand-off“ missiles like our SOM. Storm shadow of MBDA is larger and heavier than SOM, low...

As @Sinan has said due to MTCR Turkey will not reveal and sell any missile more than 300 km range and 500 kg in explosive weight. SOM, as it is, physically will not go 800 km. It's engine and fuel will be the limiting factors. If the engine is upgraded and the missile is enlarged to carry more...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/turk-yetkililer-biden-yonetimi-f-16-talebimize-destek-veriyor/ According to Turkish authorities, Biden and his administration is looking at the F16 V70 request of Turkey, favourably. But the Congress is another story! It may prove to be a very tough nut to crack.

If I am not mistaken, it is not the matter of US giving us codes for the planes. The matter is being able to do what you like with it without having any repercussions from LM or US, whereby we are infringing upon their IP rights or invalidating warranty conditions or breaking contractual rules.

I know there is a link. I understand Turkish. But the whole idea is to let non Turkish members to understand what you have posted. This is an important and critical piece of information worthy of our non Turkish members to read and learn. (Thanks for sharing by the way)

English translation?

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/roketsan-tarafindan-alka-new-konsepti-tanitildi/ ALKA Network Enabled Weapon System concept has been introduced by Roketsan. @Spook had mentioned this during latest IDEF pages. This is a very novel idea ; System’s radar finds the target, Electro-optical suite...

In view of the above statement, one can see which planes will be eligible for “Ozgur” modernisation with Aselsan Aesa radars. Block 30s definitely are. But also all of the block 40 planes will be eligible gradually by 2025. Peace Onyx 2 block 50 planes will become eligible by 2027.

Can’t Biden veto decision of congress to make the sale? (Congress and senate then has to find 2/3rd majority to overturn the veto)

In light of recent developments with respect to Erdogan’s statement on Russian collaboration in Turkish defence products and F16s and V70 upgrade etc.; May be we need to look at the Chinese example. West is blocking all vital technology regarding aircraft and engine technology to the Chinese...
