Going back to Turkish bid on Malaysian light attack aircraft; the main 2 advantages of choosing Hurjet would be, cost and TOT. Malaysia will be involved in part producing an aircraft. That is what they want in the first place. I can’t see any other bidders prepared to share what Turkey is...

Pakistani Ship Babur, is actually longer than our Milgems. It is over 108 metres in length. Milgem is 99.5 metres. As it is empty and still needs equipment to be fitted it is normal to stand up higher.

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/hurjetin-malezya-yolculugunda-son-durum-ne/ Without even having a plane in hand and without even flown the plane, we are bidding to produce and sell a plane to Malaysia. That sounds absurd and crazy. But these 18 planes that we are bidding for, will allow us to...

Production of all prototypes have physically started. Great news.!

https://www.savunmasanayiidergilik.com/tr/HaberDergilik/ASELSAN-in-Sarp-silah-sistemi-Atom-atacak They have attached a 40mm cannon to Sarp-Dual to be able to fire 40mm Atom ammunition. This makes Sarp Dual a very capable anti air gun. It only has 96 rounds of 40mm Atom on board but it will make...

In a democratic country where nearly 10% of your electorate is voting for a party that has connections to a terror group, the only thing you can do is : Keep your friends close and your enemies closer!

Let us not derail the conversation to Israeli army capabilities. This thread is for discussion on which one of them is more useful for Turkey ; f35 or S400 ? Israeli army has proven itself in 3 major wars in all 3 areas in the past against local adversaries. If it need to be discussed further...

https://www.defenceturk.net/seydi-ali-reis-denizaltisinin-komuta-kontrol-sistemi-hazir The 5th submarine of the Reis Class, Seydi Ali Reis has received it’s brain. Havelsan has delivered the Command & Control System for this sub. That makes 5 of them all have got their command and control units...

My pleasure! You may find below articles interesting as well. This is on EHPOD, Tubitak has been developing for our F16s. https://www.defenceturkey.com/tr/icerik/f-16-ucagi-elektronik-harp-podu-ehpod-projesinde-kritik-tasarim-safhasi-tamamlandi-3998...

To me this is your current life. Everything else is another place, another life! Like a guy with two wives!!😂

Please stop Greek/Turkish peeing contest, or posts will be deleted.

Below is an interview excerpt taken from Defensehere site: (Thanks goes to our @Combat-Master for his post in another life) Touching on the needs of the Turkish Air Force for aircrafts, Demir said the following: "Liberty is a project carried out independently of the USA. So, if we were to be...

Well, at the moment the only Ozgur F16s will be block 30 versions. They are just going through the structural modernisations. They are the ones, the prototype Ozgur modifications were tried on. Block 30 are the oldest F16 planes we have. But it is only logical to expect these to be fitted with...

https://www.kokpitteyiz.com/f-16-tum-block-modelleri-ve-farklari/ You can read all different block particulars here. They are in Turkish but will give a good insight in to the F16s differences. Our Block 30’s are quite different to other block 30’s. They have more powerful engines and better range.

Ozgur’s flight control computer is home made. So we have full control over what the plane can do. But apart from that the avionics and all other cockpit screens etc are on par with V70. V70’s Aesa radar uses GaAs technology. Aselsan’s Aesa radar is going to have much superior GaN technology...

That ship looks good. It is going to be a big asset for TN. But I still insist on it having more defensive and offensive weapons on board to make it more like a destroyer class warship. I would like to see multiple positions for ULAQ class unmanned missile and torpedo boats. Look at Cavour’s...

True! We need to make a point by trying to buy more planes to recover the monies we have with the US company. There are many faces of this medallion though; 1. Do we really need 40 more planes if we have the capability to furnish all our existing F16s with new flight computers, Aesa radars...

I think you will find that we only have partial access to some of the planes‘ computer programming. We are managing to introduce all our own indigenous weapons to the planes as US counterparts. (KGK as JSOW , HGK as JDAM, SOM as JASSM, GOKDOGAN as AMRAAM etc etc) . Currently we have no problems...

According to this site (I am not sure how trustworthy the site is. I have only just come across it) all F16s block 30 planes that were placed in hangar for structural upgrades may have had their “Ozgur” modernisation completed before they have left - sans Aesa - . It reckons Aesa will be...

That danger is always there. But…. We have frigates and corvettes being built in our own shipyards. US has not made it difficult with the supply of gas turbines for them. GE has signed a MOU with our TEI to service and part production of LM2500 and LM500 gas turbines. We have a Blackhawk...
