The first serial production Altay probably will be delivered in 2023 with the existing powerpacks in small numbers. If everything goes well we might see the first Altay with the national powerpack in 2024. Hopefully, BMC manages to learn how to produce a main battle tank in 5 years (2018-2023)...

This is Kuzgun. There is no way you can use Kuzgun for A-A engagements. Something is wrong here. It might be Tubitak SAGE Akdogan mini A-A missile.

Kuzgun is not an air to air missile.

They are production-level prototypes. They are at the BMC facilities now. The first production tanks(T1) will be exactly the same as them.

Tulpar and Altay at Victory Parade on 30 August 2015. By 2016 Altay was ready for production. The tender process was delayed to help BMC come up with an offer.

Oh, BTW the problem is not about the powerpack. We have around 20 powerpacks lying around there are also Leo2 engines that are compatible with Altay. BMC supposed to be delivering low production Altays this year with those engines. ~20 Altays would have been enough to set up a training unit...

Today, it is useless to produce Altay. It is too late. We should produce like 50 units and move to a new tank with autoloader, unmanned compact turret, decreased crew number, and more autonomy. This new tank should be around 50 tonnes and carry a 1250hp engine(25hp/tonne). We should also...

Low observability and RCS is not a constant number. At some angles, the RCS of TF-X will approach to 0,001m2 mark at some other angles it will approach 0.1m2 but it will stay inside those boundaries. RCS figure of F-35 is larger by a magnitude when measured from the backside compared to the...

There is no need to read anything especially your meaningless posts. You want the airforce to set minimum requirements to the current capabilities of F-22/F-35 and that is unrealistic and won't happen. I expect the final capabilities of the TF-X to be similar to F-22/F-35 but that doesn't mean...

This is wrong there is no guarantee(and most likely will fail) that you will achieve the same range as 120C5/C7 on your first try. Putting the bar high will doom your fledgling defense industry as you have to officially reject the product which doesn't achieve minimum requirements. Gökdoğan...

So by your logic range requirement of the Gokdogan missile should have been 100km and when a missile with an 80km range delivered the air force should have rejected it because it doesn't meet the minimum requirements. This is how you destroy a defense industry.

You can't compare today's battleground to the battleground when compact and super rapid first introduced. 76mm cannons(without smart ammo) lost a good portion of their effectiveness. When you have advanced ammo fire rate became unimportant. You can gain a lot of effectiveness for a close-range...

You are not thinking correctly. The minimum requirements of such an aircraft will be even lower. If such a project ever happens you might see a 500lbs internal capacity requirement. For example, the minimum requirement of the Gökdoğan missile was 65km range. It easily passes that range today...

This is not necessarily the final capability of the aircraft. This is the minimum requirement the airforce will accept. Everything that is shown in those slide shows are the minimum requirements.

Why the super rapid fetishism? I don't think there is a big performance difference between compact and super rapid. This is not a small-caliber short-range CIWS system that relies on fire rate. This is a navy project. The project requirements are handed to the MKE via the Navy project office...

It depends. There are no concrete numbers on this issue as it is deemed confidential. My calculations are based on 1 batch per year for 7 years. I know how many items in a batch but I don't know how many batches were delivered in total. It is either one( probably) or 2 (less likely)batches per...

There are certainly more advanced variants in development. Will we hear anything about it? Who knows? There are no production numbers mentioned but we know that it was in production for a really long time. The project contract was signed in December 2009 and the project is finished in January...

It fits well with the dates Mr. Temel Kotil mentioned before. He said that the first delivery will happen in 2028(probably in Q3 or Q4) and now we learn that IOC(Initial Operational Capability) is in 2030 so far so good.

Ah here we go. 15µm 1024*768 MCT MWIR sensor coupled with SWIR sensor so it is a multisensor targeting system and probably has image fusion(just guessing) capability. 1280*720 HD sensor is not far away. Whatever we talk about here happens so I expect to see a 1280*720 HD sensor in 2023 kinda...

I explained in detail why they are not the same. Brayton cycle is the same that is it. That is why China is having real difficulty switching Soviet to western single crystal turbine blades. For example, Russian RD-33 and AL-31 use directionally solidified turbine blades while Turkish TS-1400...
