No. Not really! 😇😀 I am dreaming about new version of TB2 and TB3. Akinci is well known to all by now. Until such time that it can thwart enemy radars and get herself accepted as battle-proven drone like her little brother, we can only wonder what it can do and how efficiently. There has been...

That is 93 kg in actual weight with a further 23 kg in electronics not taking in to account the weight of the holding brackets. T-129 number 46 in production. If that isn’t nose heavy, what is? Crude looking counter weights though...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tusas-yeni-nesil-anka/ Tusas is naming the latest version of it’s Anka as the Next Generation Anka. It is going to have a number of improvements over the older version, including a new wing configuration to give better fuel efficiency and longer duration in air...

Actually real acronym of VSTOL is Verical/Short Take-off & Landing. Harrier jump jet is VSTOL. https://www.britannica.com/technology/V-STOL

Very Short Take-off & Landing! =. VSTOL😃😇 (The true acronym is Verical/short take off & landing) STOL is more likely!

I fully agree with most of what you have mentioned in your article. TCG Anadolu‘s best chance as an “aircraft carrier” is with F35B. Also the elevator at the end of the ship is in the way. I can’t imagine a plane coming in with it’s hook hanging down to hit the end of the deck to catch one of...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/roketsan-mesafece-duzeltme-kiti/ This guidance system is going to be a nice “poor man’s Excalibur. It claims that it will give to most artillery shells a CEP of less than 50m at any range. Roketsan is getting ready to supply these to the Turkish Land Forces...

Quote: The T129 was nose-heavy; to resolve this, 137 kg was added to the tail, causing the total weight to exceed the specified requirement. The higher weight may decrease the T129's service ceiling, which is detrimental for operating under hot and high conditions, like those found in...

Most important advantage of the T-629 is going to be the fact that , as it is a fully indigenous design and production, we will not have to pay license fee to the Italians for aver helicopter we build!

Many times I have said this is possible. But each time somebody came up with a negative comment. Now top man in Tusas is mentioning it. Stopping the plane is not a big problem, if you are prepared to damage the surface of the ship at the landing end, to accommodate arresting wire and hook...

T-129 is a good light attack helicopter. But it has it’s own shortcomings; 1. The gun ammo is fed from outside. 2. There is hardly any armour protection for the pilots. 3. Balance of the helicopter was off due to front FLIR position. It was remedied with approximately 130kg of ballast weight in...

There is a saying in Turkish ; “Gelen gideni aratır” Best interpretation in English of it is probably; “Better the Devil you know”.

It is the last two paragraph contents of your article that I was worried about. Why sell these to Ukraine’s arch enemy?

As a general rule. Aerodynamic designs are more susceptible to radar waves being reflected. Most stealthy designs have rectangular lines with straight facias. Composite materials and radar wave-absorbing materials and paints plus the intentionally produced internal components will make a planes...

KH-32 “ship killer specific” missile, these birds carry, can be launched from 600km to 1000km away. So currently, there is no AD missile that can intercept the plane, that is launching it. The missile itself has a terminal speed of over 4.5 Mach. Quote: Kh-32 flies to a target with a ceiling of...
