    Yes. One is dated 03.02.2021 The other is dated 04.02.2021 So??? Two different tests?

    Ceramic coated barrel for the first time in Turkey was produced.

    Turkey has the largest deposits of Boron in the world. There are big deposits of tungsten too. I know for a fact that there used to be a Wolfram (tungsten) mine in Uludag.. When it comes to ceramic, well the sand is the raw material. Iron ores are in Divrigi/Sivas. We have big Copper and...

    This is great news. First video of live warhead test of Atmaca! That missile looks very fast! I guess this time they have used a more elevated approach to the target.

    Exactly! That is what I am saying. I hope this will not jeopardise the stealthy characteristics of the drone. My first post may have been a bit vague! So I amended it.

    Ceramic coated barrel for the first time in Turkey was produced.

    https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a480918.pdf US army has carried out a test on the matter and has found it to be satisfactory. Although it does not answer your question, the tests have shown that the ceramic cover does not negatively affect the performance of the gun. Other reports...

    TB3 should also have satellite communication capability and a longer staying power as well as more usable weight allowance. My only reservation would be the size of the drone, due to bigger and heavier engine giving rise to more fuel requirement , could make the drone big enough to be more...

    Ceramic coated barrel for the first time in Turkey was produced.

    This is huge! Foreign dependency on this technology, no longer! Our big naval guns will be free of corrosion and all our artillery guns will be with more life. Well done. Working on one tech opens avenues in another. This is the beauty of research and development.

    Do we know which company is doing this work or research? Or is it a project on paper at the moment?

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    Do we know which version/versions are being produced? There were different engine configurations; 2 x 750HP engine version, 2 x 450 HP engine version and the 2 x PD220 version. They will all serve a different purpose. Also the much publicised Aesa radar for this UAV, I believe, is still not...

    TB2 has had great success against forces that did not have western tech at their disposal. Also it was used in a medium where there were no enemy jet fighters. We need to focus on a stealthy jet UAV with supersonic speed. This will be the game changer against conventional western armies. The...

    I am sure the type of additions on the Burak can be passed on to another platform. In fact I am all for it. No need to waste it. But most importantly there is at this point in time, no replacement ships for them. By the time there are, in view of the speed we are making new ships, then we will...

    Yonca Onuk also has great solutions for a corvette and fast boats. If we stop giving projects to political backers we would see much better results. The ship below has : Gokdeniz CWIS, Stamp, Atmaca, Sungur, Lumtas, 76mm gun, Helcopter In short almost everything you need from a corvette.

    They have only recently started modernising Burak Class. It must be coming to an end by now If not already ended. https://m5dergi.com/savunma-haberleri/turk-donanmasinda-burak-modernizasyonu/ It would be a bit of false economy if we start decommissioning them. Besides we don’t really have...

    They won’t give you the commission when the debtor forfeits her debt and can’t pay the creditor! In short; France should get a big glass of cold Evian to drink ! (Our Turkish speakers will know what this means)

    Same feelings here! Except your comment in last paragraph where you mention AK party supporters being happy. If you investigate who they really are, you will find that 90% of them are poor and lowly educated (primary school or lower) ignorant group of people who will applaud on anything their...

    If tackled before 2030 it is a waste of money. We need to wait until TFX., economy and support ships are ready before undertaking a program as big as this and channelling funds that are needed for other areas of the defence industry.

    China Warns Taiwan 'Independence Means War,' Ramps up Military Presence Around Island

    My understanding of Chinese demographic structure is such that , although at the moment there is a very strong central government in power, there are at least a dozen or more nations within China, each with a population between 50Million and 120million speaking different languages, belonging to...

    Gerece is on the attack again. 6 frigates to be purchased from France. At least 4 of them will be new. We need to get our finger out and start on those 3 frigates and the Barbaros modernisation. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/yunanistandan-firkateyn-tedarik-plani/
