I had discussed this earlier about Hurjet and TCG Anadolu. In order to be carrier compatible Hurjet needs to be rebuilt to a different standard altogether. 1. It has to withstand salt sea water. Has to be navalised. 2. It has to have a structure and landing gear to withstand adverse conditions...

That last sentence is the most important statement. We ARE the same.

Ok may be detected! But shouldn’t they be very difficult to detect and hit due to low profile it gives? As our KGK and HGK systems are almost copies of JDAM & JSOW and hence have been designed to be stealthier ! Not quite the same shape as a 120mm mortar! quote: Both AGM-154 variants use its...

These bombs are amongst the best TSK has in it’s arsenal. They can not be detected by AD systems. They are a stand-off ammunition in essence. Just think ! A 1000kg dumb-bomb being delivered to it’s target with pinpoint accuracy from over 110-120 km away! And at what cost? I seem to remember...

If you have a good layered AD system in place, most enemy helicopters will be easy prey when they take an attacking posture. The trick is to locate enemy AD positions and eliminate them. Or suppress them with EW. Man-pads ranges are increasing all the time. Helicopters have no chance against a...

Sisi won’t go that easily. And until our government stops supporting “ihvan” group and MB We can not win him.

Usually what constitutes as final price of a strategic item like an air defence system is not the cost of that item. But what people are prepared to pay for it. 1. A country producing an AD system spends a lot of money developing it. They need to recover this cost as quickly as possible. So this...

I agree hypersonic missiles are very expensive. Their speed, altitude and range are the plus sides though. Due to the scramjet propulsion the rate of speed can be altered during flight (like the ramjet meteor missile). It can literally cruise at around 4 Mach towards it‘s target, then during the...

Yes. Kinzhal is derived from Iskender missile. (This missile has many derivatives with many different sizes and weights) It is supposed to travel at 9-10 Mach. But clocked at 6-7 Mach.(which is the speed of Iskender and hypersonic). It is NOT capable of hitting moving targets. It is a tactical...

Most claims when it comes to military matters are either exaggerated or kept half secret. Russians tend to exaggerate more than most. But there is a lot of hype about their hypersonic missiles like zircon and kinzhal. Although they give our 8 and 12 Mach speeds for these missiles, US has only...

There is a lot of waffle but no substance in this article. If you say something is crap. You have to prove why and how it is so. This article is far from achieving that.

There is no particular ratio at which the engine becomes a 'high' bypass, though the it is generally taken to be around 4:1 and above are now classified as high bypass. 0.68:1 bypass ratio is definitely not high bypass if you take above as the norm. Compared with other jet engines like f414 with...

It was clearly stated as 0.7-0.8 high bypass ratio . This is a totally different engine specially developed by GE with LM involved for United Arab Emirates’ 80 x f16V60 planes...

F110GE129 is low by pass. But F110 GE132 is stated as a high bypass turbofan engine in GE catalogue. This engine was manufactured for the use of Unifed Arab Emirates F16V60 planes. it gives a thrust of 32000lbf against the 129 version which is a 29000lbf engine. TEI actually maintains these 132...

According to the MD of TEI, with respect to f110 engine, they are fully capable of making the whole engine “from ground up” as you put it at this moment in time. They can produce more than 50% of the critical parts including the high temperature parts like single Crystal blades In house. The...

YES to the first part No to the second part. The engine that TR Motor is working on at the moment has many similarities with the F110GE132 engine which is a high bypass turbofan engine. This engine is going to be powering theTFX . Projected to be ready around 2027-29.

Supercharger by design and theory is a much better way to compress air in to the combustion chamber. Because of it’s superior values “on paper” Mercedes used it on their compressor engines. superchargers have been used many times on engines. But somehow never been as efficient as turbos...

Of these 4 , I like the Tork anti-torpedo torpedo. All our surface ships and subs should have a good number of these in their inventories. The name of the game in any battle is “survivability” . So for naval platforms, Tork will help that happen.

That is why we should hurry and put these subs in to service ASAP. Production of the 6th Reis class is still waiting to be started.
