According to veteran F16 pilots, especially block 30 and 40 planes with f110GE engines can super cruise in mid to high altitude in clean set up quite easily. That is if you take super cruise as speed of 1+ Mach without afterburners. US defence department has changed the definition of “super...

@boracetkin ’s wording is slightly wrong. But I understand what he means. A ball thrown out of a car travelling at 100m/second , with a speed of 100m/sec “relative to the car” , will have a cumulative speed of 200m/sec at zero time. However it will decelerate quicker than the ball released at...

For Turkish readers a simplified informative essay on air to air missiles. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/havadan-havaya-fuze-ve-turkiye/

It is not nice to read that “we are manufacturing under license”. But you have to start somewhere! BAE are partners at the moment. So the idea should be, to get as much as possible while you can. Also these sort of “under license” manufacturing processes keeps one foot in with the top technology...

If you check, you will find that Kale has been forming partnerships like TEI. First with P&W in Izmir to produce engine components of F35 in 2010. https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/kale-pratt-whitney-aircraft-engine-facility-opened-in-izmir-1640 Then TAEC with Rolls Royce in 2017 to...

Can you trust Kale to produce a turbofan version of that engine? It took them how many years to produce KTJ-3200? Still not in full service! Also KTJ-3200 is a throw-away engine. It’s inner parts won’t last if used as a UAV engine. We need TEI’s expertise for the UAV engine. You are correct...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tubitak-bilgem-gozcu-radari/ Isn’t it a weird coincidence that we are producing radars that can identify crafts/objects in the air that have small RCA values, after we have received and tried the S400 system? These objects being Su57, F35, F22, J20, Okhotnik etc.

They could develop from this very core, a turbofan which would be more economical and give more thrust. Two of those engines could fly a high subsonic Jet UAV. After all the main object of the TJ-300 exercise was to test themselves to see how good an axial flow jet engine they could make, prior...

Short burn or long burn would not affect the top speed of a modern missile if designed correctly , especially if you are comparing two very different missiles. A missile may be designed to reach high speed quickly and burn quickly or it may be designed to go long. Hence burn longer. It is to do...

Yes the air thicker at sea level. The speed of Bozdogan may be compromised. But you give figures as if you have tried it or have a source that says it can’t go over Mach 2.2. Can you provide a source? How come a missile like ESSM manages 4+ Mach at low altitudes to engage with incoming sea...

How can you say same range and capability? A missile with Bozdogan’s speed , (which is twice the speed of Sungur) and Bozdogan’s size, will have a much longer range than Sungur which is given as 6km by Roketsan. US has been testing aim9x in ground launch trials. With additional fuel and other...

Bozdogan’s size is the only disadvantage here. But we have mk29 type ESSM missile canisters on ships. Same type of canisters can be used. So if chosen and if it is more advantageous, why not? Yes. It will cost more than Sungur. Yes. It will take more space. Also it will be heavier. There are...

RAM is expensive. Each missile cost is as mentioned here, is close to a million dollars. You have 21 of those when you fill one battery. The missile has a speed of 2+ Mach . Bozdogan , if it costs same as aim9x, should be a third of a RAM missile with a top speed of 4+ Mach and a range more...

This is normal. As I explained in my previous post, TJ300 was produced as a trial for an axial flow jet engine prior to a larger turbofan, TEI knew they were going to be asked to produce for TFX.

Production of TJ-300, if you listen to Prof Aksit, was the result of TEI, experimenting on an axial flow engine. They knew they would be asked to produce an axial flow turbofan engine soon. So they wanted to produce a small engine as a trial run. It happened to fit the bill for an engine for...

PBS-TJ100 has a centrifugal compressor. These type of engines are old school engines. No more used but in turboshafts and small turbojets. It is however, more efficient where single compressor stages are used. A single centrifugal compressor stage can produce 3-4 times more compression than its...

Exactly ! The first firing test of Bozdoğan was carried out with it being fired from a stationary ground positioned F16 wing. That test also proved that we have an effective Sea-RAM missile in hand with a very good range. So, not just a WVR a2a missile, but, a very good Sea-RAM missile too!

Trlg-230 and MRAShM with half the range of Atmaca appear to be more convenient missiles for ULAQ, especially when you consider the fact that more of them can be carried, and these boats can be active 400km away from your shores with a stealthy cover anyway. But technically nothing should be...

Is this what you mean?

A simple and cheap strategic weapon : ULAQ , furnished with Atmaca and TRLG300 missiles can be 400km away from a shore based controller or a sea based ship that it is being controlled from. Through satcom it can target an enemy ship 250km away from itself with subsonic missiles or 130km away...
