I agree that it is doable with STOBAR. With only 10 planes capacity in it’s hangars, the ship doesn’t really need much. The only problems are; The back of the ship having a recess and a lift that detracts from total usable runway length. And the destruction of perfectly good deck that has...

@Corvus , there is a fine line between nationalism and racism. We are following these posts. The minute they are out of line they will be deleted and owners of posts will be warned. The problem subject here is the refugees. Not tourists. Turkey earns good income from tourists. But you and I...

YES! That makes more sense. I always thought they were capable of doing that anyway. But apparently they weren’t to start with. But now they are. That is a very important capability. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

What do you make of that last sentence? It doesn‘t make sense. If this were the first supersonic firing, what speed previous tests were made at? This missile IS supersonic. In fact it should have speed of around 4mach. My only explanation is that the wording has been wrong. (By replacing the...

If you re read my post again you will see that I have already told you this. He says: ” Hurjet has over 5tons of bombs on it. We are in the process of making sure it lands and takes off with it from a carrier too” You are making assumptions without concrete proof in your hand. Everyone here is...

PRC has a testing facility in Taklamakan Dessert where they have been testing DF21D’s accuracy. They claim to have achieved a CEP value of under 20m...

Yes. Also jamming GPS signal was a problem. But if I remember correctly, Anka-S had satellite link that made it immune to EW anyway. However Anka also had special equipment developed originally by Tubitak and completed by Meteksan that nullified GPS Jamming/spoofing and EW activity. This was...

During Euphrates Shield operation when TB2’s became almost useless due to EW being applied to them, Anka UAVs were used in their place because of their immunity to EW. After this operation TB2 went under scrutiny with respect to EW resistance and over the months that followed it first showed...

Not necessarily. A plane with designation of S9 may have been finished and out of production line earlier than S7 and S8. That is quite common in production. S7 and S8 may still be in the production line waiting a part that may not have fitted just right etc etc.

Sorry my bad #3328

Please go to @Cabatli_53 ’s post #3328 at “TFX and Turkish fighter and trainer aircraft projects” thread. Watch it. If you know Turkish he says what I have just told you. “More than 5000 kg of bombs” Instead of rummaging through internet. Just go back and read some of the old posts here. There...

These are not claims. But known facts. I myself listened to Temel Kotil the MD of Tusas’s interview, where he said “this is a plane that will carry 5000kg of payload”. Below is the interview of VP of Akaer re Hurjet...

As per @Radonsider ’s above post, the info on the Tusas site are outdated. Hurjet airframe has since been undergoing a serious redesign by Akaer of Brazil. These are the people who made Gripen so much more than what it originally was. Talking about Gripen; There you have a 2mach top speed plane...

Like a dual pulse engine? Or a two stage missile? It is hard to pull off. You would have to carry a good deal of fuel for burning in atmosphere and more fuel to carry this excess fuel up to high altitudes. That is why ramjet and scramjet engines are the logical solution. They have propulsion in...

Most ballistic missiles can be intercepted by modern AD systems. Azerbaijan and Ukraine wars are good examples for this. If you want good results with ballistic missiles against very well protected carrier groups, you need 2 major capabilities: 1. Hypersonic terminal speeds 2. Near perpendicular...

This is rather interesting: according to a Ukranian TB2 operator, they see a TB2 being shot by a Russian S300 AD system. They are dismayed over losing the TB2. But the plane makes an automatic landing back to it’s designated airport few hours later with loads of holes on the airframe. They mend...

For that you need a ballistic missile with a terminal weight of over 3.5 tons and a very good aerodynamic geometry that would give an air drag coefficient of less than 0.05 (as close to a tear-drop shape as possible) and as small a diameter as possible. (Say 600mm or smaller if possible). That...

Even a minister had commented about what it could do. He’d said something along the lines of forgetting about elections etc if we’d known what it could do. Also as I had mentioned before about our @Cabatli_53 ’s post in another life regarding this missile. It was dated October 2019. So a lot of...

On paper there are pluses and minuses on both sides. Basicaly it is the same gun; 39/52 caliber. French one is fully automatic loader where as Yavuz is semi automatic. French one in the upgraded version has enhanced armour for protection and there is a 8x8 version . Yavuz also has a 12.7mm gun...

UK‘s foreign policy does not change with leaders. Nor will it drastically change with different parties. It was Theresa May, a rival to Boris Johnson within Conservative party, that started the ball rolling, with her signature on defence and trade cooperation. Boris carried on with the same. It...
