Not necessarily! 20mm Phalanx system is imported, and costly. Korkut and Gokdeniz are local production and have many commonalities. If you think about economies of scale, then Korkut/Gokdeniz appears to be more economical way to go for us. Also it has a longer engagement range than Phalanx, and...

C-RAM is the acronym for ; Counter-Rocket, Artillery and Missile There are many versions. Best known one is the US Phalanx CIWS. Yes both our Gokdeniz and the MKE’s Phalanx lookalike CWIS solutions can be used as C-RAMs. In fact Gokdeniz has been developed for naval use from “Korkut” close in...

if the satellite is positioned at 36000km orbit, and your receiver is in Texas; then you send a signal to Afghanistan which is 13000km away then your signal first goes up 36000km, then travels (36x36) +(13x13) = √1465 = 38275km to Afghanistan. That is best part of 80000km. Then it has to come...

It has 2 x 12.7mm auto-controlled guns. Plus a helicopter that can have ASW and ASuW capability; if and when the need arises. All training and “Intelligence” ships of this ilk do not have weapons on board in order not to make themselves a target. It’s electronic systems are the best weapons it...

KAI-KF-21 Bramae has got 6 prototypes built. These will be furnishing Koreans with invaluable data whilst being tested on the ground, and after first flight this year, with initial flight data to be used in serial production stage. I can’t wait to see the same stage for TFX. Hurry up March...

Actually it is around that figure. Just check a TV that has satellite connection, and one that is receiving signal from land bases. I remember in UK, Brazil scoring against us in 2002 world cup, on my kitchen TV before my lounge TV could show it. It was most annoying and like a time warp effect...

Yes it is the same with all satcoms. In Afghanistan, the local bases used to execute take off and lading procedures. Once the Predators were airborne Texas USA used to take over the flying. To hit targets on the ground once locked, was not a problem in spite of the latency of the signal. If...

Most UAV’s work on the principle of “Line-Of-Sight”. From a land based control centre the distance to control UAVs is limited to around 150km. This is governed by , equipment power and the geographic limitations too. But if a UAV is at around 20000ft the line of sight communication distance can...

I don’t think they have become part of our inventory yet. But it was fitted on at least one Anka and one TB2 to be tried, if I recall correctly. It was only shown to public in IDEF-2019 for the first time. Due to it’s planned 83km range in “over sea scanning mode”, it was thought to be very...

All you need is Meteksan’s MILSAR/GMTI radar system. From 27 Km away it will discern between military and non military personnel. Even over cloud cover it will tell UCAV user if it is a military or non military vehicle. It will automatically classify and target all actual military positions...

1. I am not your “Buddy” !! 2. I am not going to respond to your comments. I tried to explain the situation in a civil manner without ”laughing out loud”!! 3. If you wish to be cynical about Turkish engine manufacturing capability by comparing it to your own country’s standards, keep doing it...

We are talking about a company that can do this: https://www.tei.com.tr/en/products/uluslararasi-motorlara-imalat-katkilari-en/ge9x-2581 We are talking about a company that can produce three-stage long chord blisk fan. A company that can produce parts for engines with additive 3D technologies...

Before you start blaming TEI with lying let’s get the facts straight. TEI MD said that they have produced the core of a jet engine that leads the way to a turbofan. By producing the TS-1400 turbo shaft engine they have done exactly that. They have an indigenously designed and produced turbo...

Only company that can do any meaningful work on this engine is TEI. According to their Managing Director, as they have not been asked to do any work on it, they have done nothing. A core turbojet engine has been produced. Yes. But this engine was a radial flow turboshaft engine. (TS-1400) A jet...

Hizir can be a crane mounted system from the aft deck of the ship as per the info graphic In below site. https://www.aselsan.com.tr/HIZIR_Suustu_Gemileri_icin_Torpido_Karsi_Tedbir_Sistemi_7171.pdf

Firstly, welcome to the forum? Secondly what is TAS? If it is Target Aquisition System, what has it got with doors and windows? If it is Torpedoes Anti Submarine , again doors and windows? If it is Towed Array Sonar , why doors and windows?

If you read the start of My comments your answer is there!

First ship of I-Class , TCG-Istanbul‘s equipment fitting and final building work were being done even in the last hours of 2022. (re: tweet from MaviVatan.net@mavivatannet)

These are unseen and not much publicised “heroes” of our defence industry. Without them most of the so called famous and successful units we have, will not function freely and efficiently. They are game changers in the battlefield. And they are multiplying in numbers.

It is an important point. These ships would be ideal targets for enemy long range anti ship missiles. It is a well known fact to disable and destroy logistical lines of your enemy. So they will be among the first targets to be aimed at . They would need coastal AD cover as well as limited point...
