    Israel develops scramjet engines and hypersonic missiles

    I said “supposedly” ! Then again according to UK Daily Mail it is a fact https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8957019/China-used-secret-microwave-pulse-weapon-Indian-soldiers.html There is no such concrete weapon in use to stop these missiles as of now. But a lot is being developed. And...

    Israel develops scramjet engines and hypersonic missiles

    Good! But Is there a “credible” instance where this is used to do what you say it can do? Only time microwaves were supposedly used was against the Indian army by the Chinese. Their weapon was a millimetre microwave weapon which worked like a commercial microwave to give a burning sensation to...

    Israel develops scramjet engines and hypersonic missiles

    Operative word being “credible”; Railgun technology with weapons lock still not feasibly tested. Laser-gun lock long enough at target not possible due to plasma cloud and too high a speed! So which directed high energy weapon did you have in mind?

    If only it was furnished with a more powerful engine! In stead of f404, an f414 class engine would make it perform closer to our f16’s.

    Israel develops scramjet engines and hypersonic missiles

    We need to join this band wagon soon. There is no credible defence against hypersonic weapons. They are just too fast to intercept in time. According to reports on Russian zircon missile, as it travels through dense air at 8 Mach speed it ionises the air surrounding it, making it impossible for...

    Turkey, US agree to set up joint working group on S-400 issue: FM Çavuşoğlu

    Yes! But not when I had wrıtten this 5 days ago. In fact I had then realised that our side was jumping the gun! Cavusoglu should have checked properly what the pentagon was asking for before jumping on the band wagon!

    I found out after I shared his video that he was a bit suspect and not fully credible according to various other sites. I am glad you concur with that too. So may be we should disregard his video altogether! Sorry if I misguided !

    Produce our own. We were part developers of RAM block 2 and ESSM systems. We can copy paste and re name them of our own if needed. Worst case scenario is buying equivalents from Chinese (Via Pakistan). This is in away “blessing in disguise”! At least this way we are developing our own industry...

    I don’t know how dependable this guy is. But according to this YouTube message he has put on the web, there are extensive embargoes on Turkey implemented by US and even Italy on various naval projects. Hence the delay on the I class frigate. Mainly ESSM block 2, MK41 VLS system and RAM block 2...

    Main reason behind the start of Hurjet Project was to give Turkish Airforce a modern and contemporary trainer aircraft to replace the ageing T38 Trainers. Also give the pilots to be , a platform that will make them accustomed to when flying f35 and TFX planes. So a lot of the cockpit and...

    Air-Force What is the probability of ordering Eurofighter aircraft with Meteor for TurAF?

    Thinking about upgrading old planes; I would rather see us upgrading Block 30 f16’s than buying old Typhoons. We will be quite experienced in modernising and making old f16’s into OZGUR version Especially once we have the Aesa radars in place as well. Instead of wasting resources on old...

    Air-Force What is the probability of ordering Eurofighter aircraft with Meteor for TurAF?

    I agree. Tranche 1 is too old in tooth now. Would be too difficult and long to upgrade. A group of 38 T4‘s is on order by German Airforce. Delivery time starts in 5 years. We do not have time to wait that long really. But at the same time used old tech planes are not really that great ; unless...

    Air-Force What is the probability of ordering Eurofighter aircraft with Meteor for TurAF?

    If you are buying 40-60 planes they will! But will take time. It was easy with Gokdogan/amraam , Bozdogan /Aim9x, Jdam/ HGK etc etc . They were more or less direct swap of US tech to Turkish tech. European stuff may not be that easy to integrate in to.

    Air-Force What is the probability of ordering Eurofighter aircraft with Meteor for TurAF?

    Euro fighter Typhoon consortium is led technically by BAE Systems And UK. If RR and BAE Systems supported a sale to us , with the help of other two partners this sale should go through. The important point is to be able to produce the ej200 engine in Turkey. As mentioned here the use of this...

    How is that going to help? Germans are embargoing all military equipment being sold to Turkey if it can be used in Northern Syria. They are not selling it to Turkey . That is the problem.

    Good question! 1. Germans may decide British are circumventing their decision to embargo Turkey. And take legal action against British Army. 2. If British Army asks say a local company to alter and change the engine so that it becomes made in UK. Then there will be no problem. (This is like...

    MTU is owned by Rolls Royce. But is in Germany. Since production site is in Germany and MTU is a German company (owned by Rolls Royce) , German laws take precedence. If German Government says NO to a sale , they have to abide by it. Rolls Royce is a British owned International Conglomerate...
