    Tulomsas has managed to produce an operational marine diesel engine with a power output of 2400HP. Our Ada class uses 2 x 5800 HP engines. So they need to double their power output for bigger ships. It is also possible to use diesels in 4 x 2500 HP as used in type 26 frigates where the diesels...

    Just to clarify; The CODAG power of Ada Class is : Total installed power is 42K HP. (That includes all 3 engines.) The diesels are 2 x 5790 HP The Gas turbine power is 31000 HP

    Japan, Vietnam sign defense deal as China worries loom

    I thought you were going to give me concrete reasons and proof about US navy being third powerful in the world. But in stead you have sidetracked, moved the goalpost and also contradicted yourself at the end of the first paragraph by admitting that US navy could defeat all the navies in the...

    Japan, Vietnam sign defense deal as China worries loom

    Can you clarify as to how you have come to the idea that Chinese and Japanese Navies are ahead of US? Regarding Chinese fighting US; I don’t think that this will ever happen. Two nuclear powers will not fight each other. But Chinese may fight Japan, Taiwan and Korea. US will help them and use...

    The locomotives and all structural units are produced in house. Regrading Diesel engines, for example the last 1000hp marine engine was produced with 86% domestic contribution. With investment in latest CNC equipment they can now work on the motor frame 90% faster. On hybrid locomotive engines...

    Tulomsas is actually a locomotive builder. Tülomsaş, the only locomotive supplier in Turkey with a longstanding and vast experience in manufacturing and maintenance, started in 1894 as a maintenance and repair workshop for locomotives. As an affiliated company of the Turkish Railways, Tülomsaş...

    Our new MRAShM with TJ-300 engine could be a candidate for this ship if they decide not to use the Atmaca. With radars renewed they may decide on the latter.

    As medium to longer range missiles go, average speed of meteor compared to solid fuelled rockets is slower. (Hence it takes longer to get to it’s target). This is due to it’s throttle able engine coasting until it is in range of target. But the situation changes when it is near the target. That...

    Regarding our BVR air to air missiles and their range; I would have thought it would be feasible to develop an air to air missile with a dual pulse motor? PL15 of China and AIM-260 of US both have dual pulse motors and they have ranges of 300+ km and 200+km respectively. Due to the dual pulse...

    Have you checked out the engines of freedom class? 47 knot max speed achieved with 2 x RR MT30 gas turbines and 4 x RR waterjets. Plus Pielstick diesels. It is a 3500+ ton ship. More like I-Class in size but heavier. But it is a versatile ship like the Milgem class. Pohang is the lightweight...

    @Knowledgeseeker I-Class and Ada Class belong to Milgem group of ships. They are stealthy and very adaptable ships. They can house most modern radars, weapons and VLS missiles. Turkish ship building has improved greatly. These ships are at least at the same level of their western equivalents. As...

    I think F22 Raptor uses AN/APG77v1 Aesa radar with GaAs TR modules. Again as per @TheInsider pointed out, it can be used passively. This radar gives SAR/GMTI functionality to the aircraft.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    I think you mean Passive Electronically-Scanned Array ; PESA. They are quite different to AESA radars. Is the nose cone of TFX suitable for a PESA? That is another question! But I think the advantages of a good GaN based Aesa radar will outweigh the advantages of a PESA radar. PESA radars are...
