Before discussing helicopters TSK should or should not have, it is important to understand few simple facts: Atak-T129 is a 5 ton light attack helicopter These are being built with Italian licensed body and US licensed engines Hence can be subject to restrictions of license duration and...

Having experienced the devastation myself of how earthquake can affect the lives and livelihoods of people in Hatay, I would like to pass my sincerest condolences to our Moroccan brothers and through them to all Moroccan people for the lost souls and my commiserations to the people of Morocco.

During this plane’s airframe design work, the Brazilian company Akaer has been heavily and extensively involved. They are the force and design team behind the successful work achieved in designing the Gripen E and F blocks. Akaer's role in the Hurjet project was to take care of the structural...

It is possible with some “higher” bypass engines to achieve higher thrust levels than their low by pass counterparts whilst keeping TIT the same. Or alternatively with lower TIT at the same thrust level. For a jet engine ; the higher the energy you throw out of the nozzle the more thrust you...

You are correct. My bad. I was checking US documents. Mostly in Fahrenheit. Reading 1390 to 1450 degrees as Fahrenheit was my mistake. They were in fact in Celsius. They correspond with your figures. Recheked lhtec800 TIT ; It is 1007 degrees Celsius max.

Helicopters like Seahawks for combatant vessels are essentially what gives them top end destructive assault capability when it comes to ASW , ASUW and EW. As mentioned by @Anmdt , as well as their electronics and EW suites, their missile and light torpedo carrying capabilities et al are all...

Please see my Edit Previous article clearly says 197000 dollars includes CLU

Just to add; https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2022/12/19/bang-for-your-buck-does-a-javelin-missile-really-cost-as-much-as-a-ferrari/# US ‘s Javelin costs 197884 dollars a piece according to above site. That does include the Command Launch Unit too; which is estimated at around 80000...

First F404 engines used in Hornets were tested by NASA and the paperwork mentions 770-800degrees Centigrade TIT values. If I remember correctly they did not have FADEC either and had a thrust level of just over 16000lbf. Since then they have undergone many modifications whereby thrust levels...

TS1400 turbo shaft turbine inlet temperatures should not be too high. LHTEC CTS800 engine (ts1400 was based on the same radial flow design) has a TIT of 1050 degrees. When TS1400 was first made, to stress on the single crystals used, it was mentioned that the TIT could go as high as 1350...

F404 has a 3 stage Low Pressure fan section. That means a lot of air is pushed in to the 7 stage High Pressure compressor. It has very different structure to our TF6K. It has proven itself as a good stealth plane engine - re: F117 Nighthawk. It generates 11000lbf dry thrust. Nevertheless it is...

https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/internal-layout-of-tei-tf6000-a-low-bypass-turbofan-engine-5301 There is a lot of good information here about the innards of TF6000. This is definitely a very modern engine using the latest innovative technologies short of Ceramic Matrix Composites. It’s...

During the last few days it has been brought to attention that some members seem to persistently stray from the main topic of threads - a good example being Turkish Politics and Kaan F16 Ozgur Hurjet Threads- resulting in derailment of threads from their main topics. We have threads where all...

Can we get back to topic please? Enough about unnecessary information not related to this thread.

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/aselsan-genel-muduru-akyoldan-kritik-aesa-radar-aciklamasi/ Aselsan’s managing director Ahmet Akyol, has stated that the Murad Aesa radar is being integrated in to our manned and unmanned platforms as of now. Soon we will have aircrafts that will be flying our...

Happy victory days to all Turkish members. Our highest gratitudes go to to the Father of Turks , Mustafa Kemal who with his ingenious tactics defeated the invading forces and gave us this land we live in.

ASW is an important subject when it comes to protecting assets like TCG Anadolu. For that, at least one Reis Class will have to be assigned to the ship at all times. But also good sensors and sonars are needed on board. When it comes to actual ASW, you can not beat the power of a Helicopter like...

There is an order for Hurjet , 4 definite and 12 on option placed with Tusas. But it is only a start. If it is true that Tusas has ordered 100 F404 engines, that means more orders will come. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tusasa-412-adet-hurjet-siparisi/...

I fully agree with you. This ship is naked when it comes to self protection. Couple of Phalanx will never cut it. It needs on board protection at a level that is commensurate with a vessel of this stature. Goksur is a good close-in-weapons system. Its designers are very confident that they can...
