This is a small step in terms of our WVR air to air missile development but a big step in our air to air missile program. Now we can look forward to a family of missiles and of course a ramjet version as well. They will all come one after the other. One thing that is bewildering however, is the...

If Motor Sich could build an AI41 or even an AI31 copy , then I would jump in to this opportunity. But at the moment they are good at building what they have in their current library. Mainly high by-pass civil airliner engines, small cruise missile engines and turbo shafts and also a small...

OK! These pictures are nice but the latest news about it is even nicer! It completed it’s 30000+ft trials (with it’s landing gear inside) with success. https://www.raillynews.com/2020/10/The-second-tiha-has-successfully-completed-the-high-and-medium-altitude-asymmetric-thrust-test./

With our navy’s general approach of reluctance of ripping a perfectly good surface to accommodate another platform, may be over ruled here. There are political pressures in play and of course they are trying to get the most out of the LHD. Since F35B is no longer an option, UAV’s and may be even...

WW2 aircrafts’ truly “apparent to all” aerodynamic properties has nothing to do with the operational “dynamics” of a carrier. No one is comparing WW2 carriers with TCG Anadolu! What I am stressing here is the possibility of landing and take off with a single runway. Please do not pick out a...

Correct. I thought initially that Mr Copur was talking about a full blown carrier operation for Hurjet. But according to below link Mr Demir is also talking about Hurjet , operating from TCG Anadolu in the last paragraph...

Neither did the WW2 carriers. QE2 carrier has two parallel runways. Angled runways are there for landing and missing the arrester and re taking off while another plane is taking off. Second runway is necessary if you are employing large number of aircrafts off of a carrier and you need to have...

What are those blue canisters in front of Ulaq’s , behind the mast? Looks like some form of VLS!?

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/abd-av-8b-harrier-ii-devam-karari/ Very interesting that US Navy is keepin it’s 124 Harrier II Jump Jets in operational readiness till 2029, rather than replacing them with the F35B’s that they are so keen to sell to their allies! They are actually modernising...

https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/how-would-the-reis-class-submarines-affect-the-power-balance-the-east-med-and-the-aegean-sea-4450 Interesting article about the strategic importance of AIP based Reis Class and Milden Class submarines. The writer makes a captivating analogy about AIP subs...

TRG-230 will give the Navy, supersonic missile capability. But I have a feeling this could be TRLG-230, with it’s laser guidance to hit moving targets . Once the target is marked by a UAV, TRLG-230 missile will be able to take out moving sea targets that are 20-70km away from ULAQ. TRLG-230...

I can understand the difficulty of grafting extra panels on to existing ones. But as they say in English: “if there is a will, there is a way!”

Konya to most of it’s inhabitants is “Gonya”! In Adana flying creatures are called “Guş” . Pronunciation is a bitch! Mach has an “h” in there. He just wants to pronounce every letter!!🤣. Jokes to one side ; like most military company officials he is being over conservative in his specification...

Then you have no imagination !🤣😂

In a way, this little boat may take weight off Tuzla class and Milgem Corvettes. Much cheaper and faster way to fight subs.

I can just see basket shaped VLS housing at the sides in place of those holes made, like the Italian carrier Cavour has. They have to put more self protection weapons on to these ships. Cavour has two oto Melara super rapids (in front and back), batteries of Aster missiles in the VLS canisters...

As far as I know , we were not seriously interested as in contemplating in purchasing. However prior to F16 purchases serious thought was given to F-18 planes.

Both Hurjet and KAI-T50 are primarily trainer planes. But they can become more. KAI is offering their trainer with GE-404 in standard trainer configuration same as Hurjet. But the same plane is offered as a CAS plane with GE-414 or EJ-200 engine. The latter however has not proven itself in a...

https://www.savunmasanayiidergilik.com/tr/HaberDergilik/Turkiye-kendi-firlatma-koltugunu-yapamazsa-milli-ucak-yapmasi-mumkun-degil “If Turkey can’t make an ejection seat for aircrafts then it can not build the TFX” That is a bold statement. Mr Kotil is probably trying to send a message to the...

Old picture => old news Why serve old news as if it is new? Do we know when exactly the picture in question was shared? https://www.instagram.com/p/CNU9d7cgYNH/?igshid=12mh47st5pcxe This is showing both Goktug missiles. Picture from November 2020. The plane in the background seems to have...
