CAATSA is not operative on Turkish defence ministry’s purchases. Only applicable to SSB of Turkey. RAM and VLS were outright purchases. It had to go through senate etc. Under license production under the umbrella of “T700 navalised version” or whatever you want to call it can be done. It is...

First one OK. But Pakistan is not a rich country to be able to pay TOT for Anka. Others don’t mean as much when it comes to materialistic state of affairs between countries. On the surface I agree it sounds nice; brotherhood etc ; and they will pave the way to cooperation. But at the end of the...

I wonder what we have got in return??? Mind you. It is only a MOU. Nothing written in stone.

I don’t see any problems if Sikorsky decides to go along the same route as the T700 Blackhawk production being carried out at the moment. Tusas has ample experience and know how about helicopter building. TEI can manufacture the engines like they are doing for the T700. It would be a win-win...

I agree with you on the size of the plane. We should have gone for a twin engined but smaller plane. Especially as it was our first shot at a stealth jet. BAE suggested the same with 2 x EJ200 (23000lbf) class engines possibly with their TVC version. But our guys insisted on a larger platform...

You have a You have a very aggressive and argumentative approach to discussions. Please stop this. We are not here to prove a point. But to learn from each other and expand our knowledge of all things related to defence industry. You seem to be well versed on your knowledge of turbine engine...

This question was asked to Prof Aksit. His response was that TEI was asked to produce an engine that is suitable for Gokbey. As Gokbey won’t be doing excessively sharp turns and manoeuvring, ts1400 that is delivered now, will suffice. If a TS1400 for Atak-129 is requested they have to produce it...

As far as released info goes, MHI engine was classed as the top level in terms of attained temperature in 2011 by themselves and many others at the time. Since then information has been released about higher turbine temperatures which I have acknowledged. If the engine is not capable of...

I want to know too. But If I were to guess: TFX and Hurjet motor developments? MIUS tf6000 development? A turbofan engine for Gezgin? pg50 & Pg115 ? TF141 with Ukraine?

Maximum temperatures in a gas turbine are seen in the flame tube of the combustor and then at the turbine inlet. State-of-the- art is about 1800 K which is 1527 degrees Celsius. If you are working with 1500 degrees Class turbines you are at the top level. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries managed to...

If it is going to be as effective on ground targets and travel to it’s destination by hugging the contours of the geography, it should have a seeker head like the one on SOM missiles.

@Ecderha , please explain what you mean by: “No offence, just my 50 kuruş :) about following thought " Excuse my ignorance on Turkish idioms. Too cryptic for me I am afraid!

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/milli-aesa-radar-son-gelismeler/ Turkish Aesa radar will first be integrated on to Akinci this year and will be tested using Akinci as a test bed. Then in 2022 it will be tried on F16 block 30 planes first, before moving on to other blocks. In last paragraph it...

What you are writing clearly shows that you are stuck like record player on the same thing and don’t seem to understand or don’t want to understand that TEI uses single crystal blades on both TS1400 and T700. By the way ; I am not you “buddy” !

https://www.turkiyegazetesi.com.tr/ekonomi/797402.aspx According to news coming from various Turkish press sites, the agreement on the delivery of second portion of the S400 missile system purchased, is almost finalised. New delivery will involve missiles of the system being manufactured in...

Very good interview with Prof Aksit. He explains about the mid section of the 2000shp T700 engine. How TEI engineers managed to produce a 300+ piece mid section unit with a 3D printer as a single piece. This in it’s own right is a groundbreaking technological advancement of Turkish turbine...

T129 is using CTS800 Honeywell. But the proposed replacement , T626 probably will use militarised TS1400. T929 will initially be using Ukrainian MotorSich engine shown here two days ago. In serial production though a 3000hp engine (TS3000) will be flying this helicopter.

You talk as if no one knows what you are talking about. TEI is currently producing 238 T700 helicopter engines for GE. More than 60% of this engine is being produced locally including the turbine blades. This is is a 2000shp engine and the TEI engines carry GE badges on them. So they know what...
