I like the twin engined prop UAV on Mr Akar’s left. It has a look of a mix of Hurkus and Aksungur about it.

I Hope you are right. Otherwise those 5 boats being built will be nothing more than expensive rust buckets. I am still worried about the need to take the AIP units at regular intervals to Germany for maintenance. At the first sign of us confronting Greece in the Med, they may decide not to...

Germany is preparing for an embargo on all arms to Turkey, which will cover naval equipment including submarines. This is very bad news for the Reis class subs being built at the moment. Greeks have been pushing Germany to stop supplying Submarine parts and equipment. It looks like they may be...

This is slightly different to hypersonic missiles like zircon. This is a hyper velocity glide Vehicle. Like Avantgard system of Russia and DF-ZF system of China. It actually goes out of atmosphere, then re enters at high speed. And hits it’s target at hypersonic speeds. It too is an impressive...

This is really important technology. Ram jet, for air to air and supersonic cruise missiles, gives controlled speed and longer range with very high terminal speed. The other technology that is a must for us and is actually the natural follow up of ram jet is Scram jet (Supersonic-Combustion ram...

If we could use all the know how we have gathered in building the f35 and SOM together with the knowledge we have accumulated in the development of TFX and pass it on to the new stealth jet UAV we are planning to build we could come up with a truly stealthy craft. All the EW experience we have...

Geometry of the wings and the plane in general and the material of the macro structure play a big role in how much of the radar signals are deflected, how much are bypassed and how much are absorbed. That is why BAE System engineers are employed at Tusas. This know how is important. The size of...

Exactly ! We will need newer ships to replace the older ships. But as it stands today this is the fleet we have. Gabya class is old too. But we have to put up with them. Yavuz class is really old too. But until I class is fully operational they are there. Tuzla class as well as having patrol...

Not really! Please read the comment at the end! It will make the “FLEET” very special. The complete fleet is not just these ships. With these ships added, the fleet will be more complete and effective. there are 12 more subs, 8 Gabya class, 4 Yavuz class, 6 Burak Class , 16 Tuzla class, 13 MRTP...

It was probably shortsightedness on our behalf not to include VLS in our Milgem Corvettes when building them. But what is done is done! We need to focus on the new I-class ships now. Also Barbaros modernisation needs to go forward a.s.a.p. This modernisation will make the Barbaros class the...

Just because the width is the same doesn’t mean the dimensions are the same. Draft of I-class is 4.05m as opposed to 3.90m of Ada Class. Height of the two ships are different as well. Never mind the technical problems to do with extending shafts and equipment placements and cabling you would face.

That means S400 system is crap as well! Have we just wasted 1.3 billion dollars? If so ; not very good! 1.3 billion for f35’s , 1.3 billion for S400!! How ever Azerbaijan managed to stop a good number of missiles with their Air defence. Shot down a few Russian built planes.

Lora is a quasi ballistic missile. It is similar to our Bora and Russian Iskender. It has an apogee altitude of 40 to 60 km. It reaches hypersonic speeds ( 5+ Mach ) as it is diving to its target. But due to terminal velocity it probably hits target at 3+ Mach . Even with this sort of speed and...

It is extremely difficult to destroy a bridge with a penetrating warhead. The missile has hit the bridge within it’s given CEP values. HE type warhead would have been more effective. In all fairness, if you really want to destroy such a strategic target, why not hit it with a second or third...

Israel’s experience against Syrian/Russian AD systems has been such that the rampage is registered on their radars. But it is fast ; so they don’t have time to react. At around 15k altitude remember , this missile is travelling at 4.2 Mach. Only when it is going through denser air layers does...

Yes there will be a cost involved for laser guidance. But I don’ think it should break the bank. But doesn’t TRLG need a secondary laser pointer from air or ground? Main idea of trg300 is to be a “stand-off” ammunition that can be used from 250-300 km away without putting any friendly platform...

SOM missile is a million dollar missile. Trg300 is a fraction of the cost of SOM. trg230 is even cheaper. Why do you think Israeli’s are using it?!! (We may not like to produce trg series air launched version as there may not be enough cream to skim off of it) The so called “ crucial tech“ is...

We can also use TRG-230 missiles from Aksungur and Akinci UAV’s in the same manner. At 210kg for the trg230, Aksungur can have 2 x at each wing and one under belly. Akinci can have 6 of them. https://www.roketsan.com.tr/en/product/trg-230-fuzesi/

Israel’s rampage missile which is identical in weight and size to our trg300 , is said to reach “hundreds of miles” when launched @ over 30k feet from f16’s. Israeli authorities call this missile “a true stand-off supersonic missile”. I think 280+ km range is well within reach of this missile...
