Shouldn’t second paragraph read “KargI” according to your explanation in previous paragraph?

That engine, if not a wall mounted “picture”, but in real life, looks too big to be a tank engine. Most probably a locomotive or naval engine.

Yeah thanks! Just corrected.

nice video of Atmaca with a CEP of 10cm!!??

Especially if they will be able to use Aselsan’s Atom (mesafece duzeltme sistemi) air brake kit for more accurate targeting.

I thought he was already here few months ago😀🤪🤪

“3 more to be delivered in first part of 2021.“ Then there is a gap for deliveries Until 2022!! This could be the gap to develop the Hybrid drive train before applying it to the artillery unit. Or it could simply be the time needed for UTKU engine to be accepted and integrated to Firtina 2.

This TB3 may not be too much bigger than the TB2. But have much bigger wing area and a much more powerful engine (either a 750HP AI450 or 2 x PD180/222 or even 2 x AI450) . The weight increase will come from extra engine weight, constructional strengthening and extra fuel needed for the...

Excalibur is expensive too. For ground artillery cheaper solutions are better. If we are going to go for an all new system, one like a “vulcano“ round that BAE Systems and Leonardo developed would fit the bill. With 76/127/155 mm versions we can make all our artillery rounds pinpoint accurate...

İ know it is not Excalibur. That is why I said “poor man’’s”. Isaeli’s have a similar kit that they use for their artillery shells that they fit in battleground called “top gun”. Theirs is a GPS based system and gives a CEP of 20m across the board. It is much cheaper than Excalibur. But still...

This is great News! Poor man’s Excalibur! Probably just as good and effective. Due to braking system I wonder if overall range suffers? Excalibur actually increases effective range. This is going to be a big plus for our artillery’s effectiveness. Also cheaper in the long run as no unnecessary...

MKEK‘s 76mm gun for naval platforms may not be an Oto Melara Super Rapid. But if it can hit a helicopter at 16km range it will do the job. What MKEK should be doing now is; with the help of Aselsan they need to develop a vulcano like shell that will hit that same helicopter or plane at 40 km...

This basket version of ESSM and VLS based anti ship missiles operations are already in use in Italian Cavour and Japanese LHD’s. Our TCG Anadolu should definitely be equipped with both self defence and anti ship and land attack missiles and be used like a Japanese Destroyer class LHD. @UkroTurk...

Important point! Engine power! Even with 15m wingspan (with only 17m available on deck, for safe operation this is cutting it close) and ski lift it would be difficult for 1200kg to be airborne. Just look at all the propeller driven Second World War carrier based planes of similar weights. They...

I thought this UAV was going to be 1200kg in weight. Although we do not know whether that includes usable weight and fuel, even of it does it will be nearly twice the weight of TB2. Where did you get the 800kg weight?

You are correct in thinking about the weight addition for the satcom. But we must not forget the durability of satcom to EW interference and since we would not want the TCG Anadolu too close to enemy, it would be prudent to have satcom control especially in the event that the enemy possess...

They have already started satcom addition on TB2’s. So it is only natural to expect they do it on TB3 as well. It would be in addition to LOS control. You can see the bulbous tops of new satcom TB2’s in below picture On the left.

This plane is going to be much larger than TB2. TB2 has 650kg max Take off weight with 150kg usable load. Anka has 1600 kg maximum take off weight with 250kg usable weight. So with a weight of (we don’t know if it is max takeoff weight) 1200kg, it is going to be a sizeable bird. In spite of...

What is a “ludicrous drive mode” ? Once the electric car reaches the necessary take off speed, how does it stop? Or does it go over board? With 1200kg overall weight and PD180 power behind it, deck mounted hold/release mechanism holding the plane from creeping forward until at full Rev, and the...

This is a must for all UAV’s like TB2 and Anka that operate near battlefield areas and our attack helicopters. With it’s ~30km range (30cm resolution from 27 km away) and capability to differentiate between military and non military thanks to the software developed, it is a great FLIR. It is a...
