All these helicopters that use this proposed engine are transport helicopters. They are not attack helicopters. They are not war machines. An attack helicopter’s power requirement is very different to a transport helecopter’s. Sudden acceleration, manoeuvring and gaining altitude. These exert...

@Nilgiri is correct! Turboshaft or turboprop, they are both shaft driven. At shaft level the output of engine power is the same. Power transmitted at the propellers or to rotors level may vary a little bit due to different transmissions and different amounts of power losses. That is all!

He means 700 million euros for the complete modernisation project. 81 confirmed and 250 optional = 331 tanks in total makes 2.11 million euros each per tank.

It has became a common practice with Turkish defence equipment to have extremely reserved specifications given out to public domain. Akya was produced with tech obtained from South Korean White Shark heavy weight torpedo. This torpedo is very similar in weight and overall measurements to AKYA...

As far as I know YES!

Actually it was only recently that Turkish laser guidance kits were fitted to Su25 bombers of the Azerbaijani airforce. https://www.star.com.tr/teknoloji/azerbaycanin-su25-ucaklari-aselsanin-lazer-gudum-kiti-kullaniyor-haber-1381721/

Turkey has already integrated a series of Turkish built ammunition and equipment on Azerbaijani Mig29 aircrafts. So it is possible to use locally produced bombs and targeting pods or equipment on Russian planes. If source codes are accessed , then more is possible!

Prof Mahmut Aksit has stated that taking the TS1400 core and changing the compressor and turbine stages to an axial flow turbofan will create an engine that would give 8-9000lbf thrust. If he says it can be done, then I believe that somehow it is possible to create a turbofan from this radial...

https://www.star.com.tr/savunma/turkiyeden-samp-t-aciklamasi-surec-tamamlandi-haber-1615803/ Signing of preliminary definition process has been completed on SAMP -T project. As there are no political bottlenecks the procedure is ongoing, final stage of which is to build an air defence system by...

Hurkus uses a 1500HP class turboprop engine. A Diesel engine with 170HP will not be suitable!

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/preveze-sinifi-denizaltilara-akya-geliyor/ Preveze Class submarines are having AKYA torpedoes. Finally these ship killers are going on our sea platforms. The advantages they will bring are endless. They were recently in January 2021, fired from GUR class subs...

I guess you meant: 😀 Thank goodness! Finally! This Hurkus project took a long time! I hope the TFX project is managed better! My thought exactly too!

The news was taken from Sozcu newspaper. It is literally copy pasted and is as is on my post. it says “81 + 250 (Opsiyon) “ .

If this is the case then it is outrageously expensive! Even with an Altay turret!

No brainier ! Electric!

Hydraulic actually can handle more weight and stress for specific workloads than electric and more efficient in most cases. All cranes and Catterpillar equipment are hydraulic driven. Electric is quieter. And needs a good power source. But cleaner. Hydraulic can be messy...

It doesn’t say “the armour will be enhanced” or ”the armour will be renewed”. It says the tank will be renewed/modernised. The savunmasanayist news on the matter contains the addition of all these packages. At least that is my understanding...

Quite: Yaklaşık 700 milyon Euro'ya TCK'nın Leopar tankları yenilenecek. Cumhurbaşkanlığı Savunma Sanayii Başkanlığı (SSB) tarafından açılan ihale kapsamında 81 + 250 (Opsiyon) Leopard 2A4 tankı modernize edilecek. Unquote. According to Sozcu newspaper, 81+250 Leopard 2a4 tanks will be...

Sorry but I can’t quite understand what you are trying to say! If you are saying that the ESSM’s range is limited to 35-40 km , because the ship’s or its own sensor’s range is also limited to 35-40 km, then can you explain why they give a range of 50km for this missile? This was discussed here...

There are, at the moment , 68 operational t38’s as far as I know. (Give or take a couple) . So we need at least around 70 Hurjet’s to replace these. Then there is light attack aircraft quantities that are needed. As Turkish squadrons consist of 20 aircrafts , and let us say at least 3 or 4...
