If memory serves, TAI signed a deal with an Italian company to supply the transmission for the CTS-800 engine to be used in Atak. For the TS1400, they were also thinking to use the same company. But going forward for Gokbey and other new helicopters we may be looking at producing the...

To build a compact 1500HP engine is hard. But it is equally difficult to match a transmission that would withstand the sudden jerks and torque requirement of a 70 ton tank. They need to be working homogeneously together. Same goes for a gas turbine engine. You will have to build a strong...

https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/31366-turkey-mulls-eurofighter-typhoon-order More news circulating about the purchase of typhoons for Turkish Airforce. According to this site, if F16V70 deal does not materialise, Turkey is open to offers for Typhoon purchase.

Exactly. That is why all hybrid drivetrains give better fuel efficiency figures than their all petrol equivalents. And as per @Nilgiri ’s post, most so called diesel trains are actually ”diesel-electric” hybrids.

How? Please elaborate. Are there many that have shown this in any battlefield? Please remember it is diesel hybrid we are talking about.

Very valid question! Yes. Meteksan’s MILSAR is capable of differentiating between civilian and military targets even above cloud cover. Not only vehicles but people as well. It has special algorithms written to do that.

A lot of rights and a lot of wrongs as well. 1. S400 is not a bad system. It will bring down planes that are quite far away. But it is not really ours. It can not be incorporated in to our AD system. As a stand alone and export version system, it is limited in capability. Since the decision was...

Have you seen the shape of L39 Albatros? It’s airframe is not designed to go supersonic. It has a MTOW of 4700kg with an engine that maxes out at 3800lbf. Please do not compare apples with pears. We are discussing about a stealth plane with an airframe that will fly supersonic.

Before guessing whether MIUS can manage super cruise or not one should put on the table concrete points to support their claim. @Combat-Master has ”suggested” that it could. As explained above it has a lot to do with the 1. Airframe design 2. Thrust to weight ratio 3. Flight altitude. Engine...

Super cruise can be achieved if the thrust to weight ratio is right and the plane is flying at rarified atmospheric altitudes and most importantly if the airframe is suitable. It has nothing to do with being 6000lbf or 10000lbf thrust level. This is a 6000kg plane. Gripen with 14000kg take off...

76mm Naval gun, having completed it’s land tests, is getting ready to start sea trials. It uses all indigenously produced rounds. It has achieved 80 rounds per minute firing speed. It has 16km range with standard rounds and 20km with”special” rounds. It has attracted export possibilities even...

For a stealth fighter, the main advantage you get with supersonic speed is to get to your battlefield and leave your position quicker apart from dodging missiles. But if you are going to loiter for 6+ hours on air, subsonic is all you need. It would decrease your Infra Red signature, especially...

@xizhimen and @Nilgiri have given the answer to many questions here. What you need are Uranium, centrifuges and most importantly the nuclear knowhow. With Cekmece reactor -albeit small- operating for many decades now, we should have the knowhow needed. If there is a will there is a way. We don’t...

Wow!! When did they produce this? That is lightning speed! Come on TEI! Get that TF6000 engine ready at the same speed!

Don’t underestimate MTU Aero engines. They work similar to TEI bu are in fact ahead of TEI with their set up. They have been manufacturing jet engines and parts for much longer than TEI. They do design, develop and produce aero engines in conjunction with companies like P&W and GE for commercial...

Dr Aksit is definItely a brain and asset this country has produced that needs to be respected. But he does like to blow his own trumpet a bit too much at times, and whilst doing that exaggerates to a certain degree. There are engine producers like GE, P&W, RR and Safran that are in a league of...

These tanks are not going to be powered by all electric powerpacks. It will be a hybrid drive train. Just check out Firtina Hybrid power pack. You save so much weight with no transmission, lot less fuel and smaller engine that you can afford to put more batteries. 47ton Howitzer is powered by a...

It looks like it has a blanket cover on it. The same cover that is around the nose and the canards extends over the fuselage and small part of the wings. It may have been done to hide something from the prying eyes of those NATO officials visiting Baykar.

OK Got it. But if Roketsan is involved in the program and these missiles are being integrated in to Submarines’ sub systems, wouldn’t you be more aware of the peculiarities of the IRIS-T missile? Is 40km range being halved “in our case” to do with Export version? If so that is a big cut in...
