As it stands I can’t see it operating any planes in the short term. To take the ski lift off the design when building the ship was going to be more expensive than leaving it. So probably because of this it was left. But during the building of the ship f35 idea materialised and the surface of...

If that is the case then you are correct. However as they have also been in the project they could easily produce an engine like F136 if they wanted to. If you look at thousands of planes that British Airways have used over the years, be it Airbus or Boeing they all have RR engines on them. So...

Yeah. Very interesting. I had read this before. Apparently the F110GE132 engine has a potential to be a 35000lbf thrust engine.

The prototypes are definitely f110GE129 engines. But set up for twin use like the f15 eagle engines. These are 29000lbf thrust engines. The engine design that TR Motor has published is actually similar in design with F110GeE132 engines with their specific blisk design. These engines are...

Kotil says by 18th March 2023 the engine of the TFX wil start to work. His sentence about “this plane has a larger engine than 2 F16 engines” does not make sense. I wonder if the serial production engine being designed is something quite different to f110 prototype engines. RR had built an...

This is fantastic news! If this was the position 3-4 years ago, we would have been in possession of an engine by now. (But there is a reason for everything) . Let us hope that this projected partnership comes to fruition.

Let us get our facts straight! This document is a “project development“ document issued by SSB. Turkish SSB, does not open tenders. It is the Ministery of Defence that opens tenders. Because they are the BUYERS. SSB starts projects with companies, be it state owned or private. It is the job of...

Missiles can not differentiate between decoys and real targets themselves apart from infrared heat signatures. But; Turkish company Meteksan makes a SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) millimetre radar called MILSAR especially produced for use on UAV’s. This radar can work as a FLIR from a range of...

Have you got source that says the price quoted by Ethem Sancak includes engine and transmission development? As far as I know it does not! The quote was given on the basis of buying the Tank’s engine and transmission from MTU and Renk, as at the time of the quotation there were no problems with...

What about it? I don’t quite understand your question. What has it got anything to do with hitting a tank with a missile and it’s survival? Can you explain what you mean pls?

Crew may survive. But the tank is close to destroyed with a 155mm round. But with a Teber or Lacin (moving target version of Teber) delivering 89 kg of explosives no tank would stand a chance. It would totally demolish the tank. There won’t be much left of the crew either as the whole armoury of...

Most important properties of SOM missile is it’s constructional geometry, materials and paint. They impart a “stealth” property to the missile. With a very low RCS , this makes the missile deadly. I can’t wait to see the C and J versions of this missile which will allow it to hit moving sea...

There was a picture taken in Iraq, of an M1Abrams tank turned upside down, sitting on it‘s turret after a 155mm round exploded right next to it. A 155mm round weighs ~43.2kg and contains 6.6 kg of explosives. Do not underestimate the power of HE rounds. 90 kg of explosives is HUGE! Look what...

I am afraid we have to worry about it until Turkey’s current leadership accepts Sisi government as legitimate and/or forms peaceful relations as per the two nations actually want. And Egyptian leadership does not take a stance against Turkey in international matters such as aligning itself with...

With the amount of military build up Egyptian army is going through - even though it is a mish mash of all sorts - it will be a force we will have to think about confronting; considering the fact that we have sea borders in the Eastern Mediterranean. Quantitatively and on paper they are bigger...

In a way this is quite good. Map it all! Find out if it is worth fighting for; and then put it on bargaining table if it is not worth it against areas that contain potential reserves.

As it is 1600 HP and TJ as you say ; this is a thrust HP. Not Shaft HP! According to Cabatli-53’s above share, two of these engines with this sort of dry thrust, can easily power a subsonic Hurjet or a supersonic Goksungur.

Kale/P&W 51/49 partnership is producing parts for the f35 engine. It is a shame that this privately owned partnership is more quick profit orientated than future investment orientated like TEI. Hence the lack of mentionable indigenous engine development ! But this could hopefully change once the...

In many instances Mahmut Aksit has mentioned that with the success attained when making the ts1400 engine, they will be able to develop a turbofan engine in the future. He has also said in various videos that there is work being carried out on the engine for TFX. But we have to be aware of the...

It is very important that not everything is revealed to the public when it comes to strategic military matters. Bora2, Gezgin, Temren, MRAShM, Atmaca, MIUS, Ramjet/Scramjet These are just a few strategic weapons we have that are may be ready or still under development, really need to be kept...
