Regarding our BVR air to air missiles and their range; I would have thought it would be feasible to develop an air to air missile with a dual pulse motor? PL15 of China and AIM-260 of US both have dual pulse motors and they have ranges of 300+ km and 200+km respectively. Due to the dual pulse...

Have you checked out the engines of freedom class? 47 knot max speed achieved with 2 x RR MT30 gas turbines and 4 x RR waterjets. Plus Pielstick diesels. It is a 3500+ ton ship. More like I-Class in size but heavier. But it is a versatile ship like the Milgem class. Pohang is the lightweight...

Simple answer would be: I wouldn’t ! Western and Eastern tech are quite different. Many plusses and minuses.

@Knowledgeseeker I-Class and Ada Class belong to Milgem group of ships. They are stealthy and very adaptable ships. They can house most modern radars, weapons and VLS missiles. Turkish ship building has improved greatly. These ships are at least at the same level of their western equivalents. As...

I think F22 Raptor uses AN/APG77v1 Aesa radar with GaAs TR modules. Again as per @TheInsider pointed out, it can be used passively. This radar gives SAR/GMTI functionality to the aircraft.

I think you mean Passive Electronically-Scanned Array ; PESA. They are quite different to AESA radars. Is the nose cone of TFX suitable for a PESA? That is another question! But I think the advantages of a good GaN based Aesa radar will outweigh the advantages of a PESA radar. PESA radars are...

After researching a bit I found below infos. It says that Osman’s real name was Ataman. It was later changed to Osman To be more inline with Arab names. As there were no written records by the Ottomans of tha era, the only records were from Byzantine. And they used Ataman name. Another info...

Can somebody explain why the Empire founded in late 13th century was called “Ottoman” ?

Hisar is a range of AD missile systems mainly against air breathing targets. Approximate altitude and range values are: Hidar A+ : 10km altitude 15-20km range Hisar O+ : 15km altitude 25-40km range Hisar U. : 20km altitude 70-100km range There will be a “Siper” system with ballistic missile...

Russians said, if US wants to buy it they can sell S400 to them too. It is not an assault weapon. But a defensive one. Besides, Russians as mentioned before, do not sell the full fledged version to export. Re : our purchase of Patriot : US offer was too expensive and contained no real TOT...

Canada is the second largest country in the world in terms of land it occupies. It has oceans in North, West and East. The north is frozen most of the year. So the need of naval platforms are going to be quite different to most other countries. But US and Russia are in the same situation. So...

That is where unmanned helo comes in. For deep penetrating intelligence missions without endangering pilots and valuable assets like t-129s, you can gather intelligence. You can’t beat unmanned air assets in this type of missions. Depending on mission it could be Alpin sized or t-629 sized...

Bangladesh already evaluating Hisar-O.

If memory serves, the 27000lbf was there because RR was asked to improve on their EJ200 engine offer for TFX as we weren’t looking for a small plane. And they said they could re engineer this engine to give a thrust of 27000lbf which they though should be enough. A lot of water has gone under...

http://azeridaily.com/news/37539 Apparently it is the block 3 JF17 that the Azerbaijani airforce is interested in. This block of JF17 comes with a Chinese Aesa radar, IRST system and a Chinese helmet mounted display, plus a range of improvements taken from J20. (Mind you, the block 2 can also...

Addition of composite materials in it’s structure is going to make it significantly lighter than the specified 540kg weight. But this advantage may be used in more fuel and/or explosives to make it go longer and/or be more destructive. Of course the use of composite materials will mean standard...
