There is an easter egg in the model workshop.

ADA-Class has space for 8x VLS(fitted but not with) behind the 76mm cannon. This info comes from the weapons officer of one of the Ada-Class corvettes. It will certainly be fitted with 8x VLS in the future. Ada-Class is an ASW corvette and at the time planners decided that RAM is enough to cover...

Good news KTJ-3200 turbojet engine passed the acceptance tests and gearing up for serial production. Serial production will start by the end of this year(I expect the official contract to be signed at IDEF). Integration of the KTJ-3200 to the SOM missile also goes on. Live fire tests from...

There are no plans for Milgems to get VLS in the short to mid-term. I think an 8 cell VLS will be added in mid-life modernization(~20 years is the time for mid-life modernization for Navy vessels) and this won't be before 2030.

Well, it is officially confirmed now. Let's see if the details I gave about one of the other jet UAVs turn out to be true. I heard some of them from the people close to the defense industry guesstimated the others.

Everybody go to Paramount Hotel, well well look at the coincidence. I will go to Paramount Hotel too I'm curious about WTF is there.

PN can always add more cells/missiles in the future. There is more than enough space left for that.

KTJ-3200 will be qualified this month if no problems occur. I expect integration works on Atmaca and SOM to be completed in Q4 this year with a live test firing. Serial production preparations are being done in parallel. Kale has a big capacity for serial production. Kale is a manufacturing...

It can carry as many ATGMs as the user wants.

It can search and classify targets on its own and alert the user. It can track, follow and attack targets selected by the user. The user must select the target for the system to track, follow, and/or attack.

I don't know when it will start but it is supposed to end by the end of this year. We should be seeing some good photos in December. A roll-out ceremony will be done in early 2022. After that ground test will continue and the first flight will be done by the end of 2022. The first flight of the...

Well, all I can say is good luck and best wishes but let's wait and see this one.

Kargu-2 is categorized as a man-in-the-loop system. It has autonomous navigation capability but targeting is done by a user. The current range is 10km with plans to improve up to 25km. It can be deployed in swarms of up to 20 units with a plan to increase the number to 100.

You have calculated fuel consumption figures for the maximum power-rpm. %90 of the time max power is not used to conserve fuel otherwise you will last only 6 hours with an Akıncı and even less with Reaper. Theoretical maximum consumption and mean consumption of a mission differ a lot. Akıncı...

None of them. Reaper either carries weapons or fuel. It cant do both. If it carries weapons its endurance is decreased to 14 hours. If maximized for endurance it won't be able to use weapons even though it has a better engine than the two engines of Akıncı. Akıncı can carry both weapons and...

This is wrong. Akıncı carries 1600kg of fuel with an hourly burn rate of 266kg it can stay 6 hours in the air. Wrong again it sacrifices fuel capacity to carry more. Akıncı doesn't sacrifice its fuel capacity. Akıncı can carry way more than MQ-9 if it sacrifices fuel capacity. Akıncı has a...

This also explains PD-222 engines as an engine alternative for the surveillance/observation version of Akıncı 2550kg empty weight+800kg half fuel load or even lower(fuel efficient diesel engines)+150kg internal payload for surveillance=3500kg 2xPD-222(222hp take off power, 200hp continuous...

Above, I posted engineering hp/altitude charts of the 2 engines as pdf. Reaper engine produces 950hp at 10000feet while Ukrainian engine produces 544hp at 10000feet. The sources I posted are more reliable than the wiki as they are real engineering charts. I solved the mystery Baykar Akıncı can...

If a UAV is receiving hostile fire it won't survive. It doesn't matter if it has single or dual engines.
