US is postponing the work on Rail-Gun project indefinitely, because: 1. Only 2 ships available (Zumwalt Destroyers) to provide enough power. 2. No new ships until 2028-2030 that can accommodate a Rail Gun. 3. High cost of maintenance and initial investment, for the maximum range attainable...

1. It is not cheap to produce a ship like this. We are not a cash rich country. 2. There are other ships that need to be finished before building a second one of these. 3 x I class frigates and 7 x TF2000 air defence destroyers need to be built urgently. Plus the Reis class Subs have to be...

If memory serves, Turkish Navy was the least affected by the Purge. Airforce was the worst hit.

Agreed! But… With this logic is it correct to think that the F404 engines for Hurjet could be in jeopardy? Or is Tusas not included in the embargo? (As Hurjet is a Tusas Project not SSB) Also could TFX’s f110 engines, have been embargoed had they not been already received? Just thinking out loud!

Longer range, better targeting, no need to light the target from the ship? If our G40 is comparable to this, then no need !

Roketsan is the party that is involved with the ESSM consortium.

Cost of flight hours is only one side of the medallion. Yes by having drones up in the air for bombing missions is cheaper than jet fighters. But to have continuous aerial assets up in the air is invaluable. And when they are cheap too, that is the icing on the cake. The other side of the...

Kuzgun is a new family of missiles that is modular, low-cost, suitable for multi-use, high strike sensitivity and low collateral damage. Addition of a turbojet propulsion engine, especially an imported one, will make this missile fairly expensive. As a winged glide bomb like a KGK, it is much...

Ivchenko Progress is a design bureau. Very much like our TR Motor. They have no means of production. More importantly, the production facility, Motor Sich, that is supposed to produce engines designed by Ivchenko Progress, has not produced a new design since the collapse of Soviets. Therefore...

https://m5dergi.com/savunma-haberleri/milli-seyir-fuzesi-som-karadan-ve-denizden-firlatilabilir/ According to Gurcan Okumus, the head of Tubitak Sage, the SOM missiles have a modular and expandable architecture. Hence can be easily modified so that it can be launched from Sea and Land positions...

TJ300 is actually an axial flow engine. Mr Aksit had stated that they produced this engine as a test engine to see if they could build an axial flow version of a jet engine. Quote: Totally designed and developed locally with national means in cooperation with TUBITAK, TEI and Roketsan the TJ-...

Correct! That is why single crystal super alloy blades were invented. To stop crystal lattices sliding over each other within the crystal structure of super alloys. But actually, “Creep” still occurs within the single crystal super alloys. The whole crystal will stretch under extreme heat and...

Correct line of thought! But there is no TS3000 in hand. We don’t even know where TEI is with it’s development. One would think that they are developing both the TS and TF versions of it side by side. A 12-13000lbf dry thrust should give around 20-22000lbf with After Burner. And that should be...

TF6000 is probably an engine that has 6000lbf dry thrust. If so, it would put it as a derivative of TS1400. If TS 1400 is redesigned to be an axial flow turbofan engine, it would turn out to be a 6000lbf dry thrust engine like TF6000. That sized engine is well within the scope of TEI’s...

It seems like “engine” problem is causing another delay in our prototype production. Mark my word, TFX will be a victim of engine hold up too! When will we learn? Why not get your engine first. EJ200 or RD93 . Have them ready and then start development. Now they say engine won’t be coming in...

It is possible. Yes. But when you have two different forces (airforce and navy) that want different missiles for themselves, you get a Harpoon beater and a storm shadow lookalike. Now that we have Mr Ismail Demir in charge of all new such developments we hope that one Swiss knife that serves...

Two different designs. They are superior to each other in their own right. Atmaca There is a version that is being prepared for launching from land to sea targets. (The initial firing tests were done from land positions toward the sea) Also beach and inner areas of land will be targeted with the...
