After Sochi, Erdoğan mentioned of a preliminary agreement of an extensive deal with Russia regarding fighter jet engines, War-Ships and Submarines. Then we now learn of a “possible” request of purchase of 40 F16s in Block V70 with 80 existing ones being upgraded to V70. Being devil’s advocate...

If memory serves, under FMS all F16 planes produced by Tusas, first goes to US then sold back to TurAF. US means nearest US base to Turkey. So the plane after it is built at Tusas goes to a nearby US base and does a touch and go . Then returns back to Turkey.(in this case NAS Sigonella in Italy)...

Yes but; Erdogan already spelled it out that they either give us the planes or our money. But, having planes shows if US still wants to work with us or otherwise, they are totally on the other side of the fence.

https://www.defenceturk.net/turkiyenin-100-km-menzilli-hava-savunma-sistemi-1-5-yil-sonra-hazir-olacak Mr Demir has made some important points regarding our air defence program. In his speech he has pointed out that an effective air defence system is a layered system. Hence al layers will have...

It is also important to consider the now forgotten rule of 7/10 ratio. US will not over arm Turkey against Greece. Biden is a a lover of Greece. F15 will tip the balance. But what Turkey is supposedly asking in this news is feasible and doable. If US rejects such a request then the true...

https://defencereview.gr/toyrkiki-lor-gia-apoktisi-neon-f-16-kai-eksyg/ Taken from “defence review.gr” , an interesting claim that Turkey has asked US for the purchase of 40 new F16V70 fighters and upgrading 80 of TurAF’s existing F16s to V70 level. I don’t know the dependability of this site...

J600 was the first short range tactical ballistic missile we had. It was developed with tech obtained from Chinese. It is a derivative of B611 missile. It has no precision guidance. CEP values are too big and hence the accuracy is not great. Range was limited to 150km. Greek media somehow found...

I think everyone in this forum would like to know if there is any news on Bora 2 including me! TSK is keeping all news regarding Bora-2 very close to it’s chest. We know that, there is one, as a government minister once claimed that it is much more of a newsworthy item than anything else at the...

https://www.savunmahaber.com/roketsan-trg-300-blok-iii-fuzesinin-gelistirme-calismalarinda-sona-geldi/ It seems that TRG-300 missile is now to have an improved block 3 version soon. The newer improved version will have more protection against EW. It will still operate between 30 - 120km range...

It can not replace F16s. Hurjet is very “light” compared with F16. It is an important project. However it can not be a replacement of a fully fledged fighter jet. Besides the majority of the initial production will involve trainer version. Producing the light attack version will take a long...

Apparently, first 10 of the 12 Soryu subs have Sterling AIP. But no Li-Ion batteries. Instead they have chemical batteries. Standard Soryu-Class is simply a modified version of the Oyashio-class with air-independent propulsion. Soryu Class submarines’ propulsion system consists of two 8,000...

Correct ! But the Li-Ion batteries are charged by the Diesel engines and the “Sterling” AIP engine. So the submarine still has an AIP component that makes it so deadly, as it doesn’t need to surface for long periods of time. Li-Ion batteries introduce longevity and quick acceleration, plus...

Current Reis Class subs all use AIP packs. That is what makes them so good as well. Air Independent Propulsion is intrinsically a good system. It may need to be developed further. But nevertheless it is a very important part of a non nuclear modern submarine tech. Whether it is Sterling Type or...

This is great news! M. Aksit, in TEI, wants to produce f404GE102 engine in Turkey with at least 40-50% domestic contribution. He wants a similar understanding of T700–TEI701D where the domestic contribution started at 20% . Now it is over 50%. This will help with our TFX engine too.

I stand corrected! It is a multi purpose combat missile that can be launched from drones too.

Most medium range missiles like Harpoon and Exocet use active radar homing. Our Som-j uses terrain referenced navigation and IIR seeker. Israeli Gabriel 5/Mk4 and SKorean Haeseong have 200km ranges and both use active radar homing. Marte ER has over 100km range and use active radar too. True...

Helicopter launched MRAShM is vital at the moment. But really, surface launch needs to be developed as well for OPV, FAC, Tuzla class and more importantly for ULAQ.
