If you want to be paranoid about it, then we shouldn’t buy any planes whatsoever from US. We all know that the indigenous way is the way to go. But do not forget that every single technical advance we managed up till now, has it’s roots at the Western know how given to us and western tech we...

F35 may have it’s drawbacks. But they are great planes that will tip the scales to the side of the airforce using them. Yes, if you do not have the source codes and freedom to integrate your own weapons, it is a drag! It ties you dependent on US origin weapons. But to have a couple of squadrons...

To tell you the truth, the only thing that really is great about this plane is that, it has a very agile airframe that performs really well with a comparatively small engine like f414 and it’s GaN based Aeas radar on the new E and F versions. Biggest down side , apart from all those US and...

Super Cobras are old and a bit outdated. But they are built as sea worthy attack helicopters, and most importantly can still be very much in use. It was stated that, now that the Turkish Army Aviation Command has numerous T-129A/B Atak assault helicopters in its inventory, it could transfer its...

Good question! Saab Gripen is a very capable plane. But made by Sweden; a staunch critic of Turkish government. Some may say, “money is king”. But the Plane itself is not that much more advanced to warrant it as a stop gap. Eurofighter is probably the best 4+ class there is. But the German...

@peers , first of all welcome to the forum! Exactly! Physically no official source and logically, well, it just doesn‘t add up!

They seem to be doing something at the back of the ship. Arresting wire system? When “fully” operational with the correct equipment, this is going to be one hell of a ship for our navy. No matter how much you are a critic of it, being too expensive to build and maintain, it is an undeniable...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/akinci-tiha-icin-ilk-ihracat-sozlesmesi-imzalandi/ Well this is a first. We haven’t even got enough of them operating. But Baykar has already signed an export sale contract for the Akinci UCAV. Any guesses who that can be? My money is on Ukraine!

https://m5dergi.com/savunma-haberleri/pirireisin-liman-kabul-testleri-basladi/ At last, the first of our new submarines is coming home! Piri Reis Sub, has started port acceptance tests. Upon completing these tests the sub will go through the sea acceptance tests.

Can F-35 carry Meteor? Here is an excerpt of the answer of the article to this question: BAE Systems and MBDA have been contracted to complete the integration of Meteor and Spear missiles onto the Lockheed Martin F-35 for two European operators. ... The fifth-generation fighter will be able...

Before our esteemed members enlighten us regarding the Siper missiles’ operational envelope information, I would like to ask another question about using SAMs as Anti Ship missiles; How effective can they be with around 15kg of explosives? (SAMP/T Aster series have 15kg explosives) Now, if a...

Yes we know that. We were even on the receiving end of it. (Muavenet with 2 sea sparrow missiles was hit in 1992). But does Siper missile have surface to surface attack formation built in it’s operational envelope? Or does that capability come automatically?

I had mentioned the issue of the orders in hand and the delay of production in LM for our prospective F16-V70 orders due to their busy production line. I was hoping Tusas production could hurry this process. If this is not possible and I am sure our guys knew all this; I wonder why they asked...

We don’t have enough on Karaok. But it is a Turkish Javelin missile. Both missiles have a range of 2500m. If memory serves I had read somewhere that Karaok can pierce through minimum, 500mm steel equivalent behind ERA. According to Javelin specs, it can pierce through 600mm behind ERA. So they...

We are in agreement with all but the last statement. How are you going to kill Fremm frigates with Siper missiles? Unless you mean the I-Class will be superior to Fremm with the addition of twin packed Sipers.

That looks like a top attack test. Against most modern tanks this is the best method of destroying them as it is the weakest point. Being a fairly light and small missile, it may not have enough punch to pierce through heavy side and front armour of MBTs. But will be useful for medium tanks and...

Hisar U has become Siper according to all publications. please see below :

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/hisar-o-tum-unsurlariyla-teslim-edildi/ Hisar O+ system has been delivered to Turkish Armed Forces with all it’s ancillary equipment and elements. So that means the short and medium altitude air defence systems for Turkey are now operational. Next in line is the...

@Anmdt , is CODAE propulsion like CODLAG or CODLOG ? Combined Diesel Electric And/Or Gas? In this case Combined diesel and Electric.? Any similarity to AZP or IEP ?
