    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    https://www.savunmasanayist.com/leopard-2a4-modernizasyonu/ they are in the process of modernising leo2a4 tanks. The so called Altay with L44 gun is actually a leo2a4 with an Altay turret. It seems that they are trying to use same sub systems for the tanks for ease of exchange of parts. Although...

    According to the explanation given here; Soft launch is another version of cold launch. By using minimum amount of gas to launch the missile , less force and stress is exerted on the electronic sensors. Also because of less gas usage simultaneous launches can be realised.

    The design flaw I was referring to was the fact that the first class214 sub built for Greek Navy had balance problems. As it was surfacing it was badly tilting at its side. This had to be addressed and corrected By adding weights etc. Our navy was not pleased with the interlm solution Germans...

    https://www.savunmasanayist.com/dikey-atim-sistemlerinde-baslatma-teknikleri/ A nice tutorial about various vertical missile launch systems. Turkish MDAS systems will probably be using cold launch; then in time may evolve in to a soft launch. Thanks to embargoes being in place the indigenous...

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    An active protection such as Aselsan’s Akkor would not pose danger to infantry as it would destroy incoming rocket/missile at a fair distance from the tank. But a system like Pulat, which is developed by Aselsan from Ukraine’s Zaslon system would be dangerous to close by infantry As it explodes...

    Yes you are right the T700-TEI-701D engine develops 2000hp. But these engines are being produced under licence for the Blackhawk helicopters Tusas/Tai has a contract for 109 platforms. Can TEI produce extra engines without GE approval for another platform? The other point is the US Abrams uses a...

    Would I be wrong in thinking that as these submarines’ production contract was in 2011 with HDW/MFI, all parts related to them were manufactured and even shipped to Golcuk. Because of the design fault of the subs the manufacturing process had to be postponed. But the parts were all shipped anyway.

    That may have been your personal experience. I look at it from an engineer‘s point of view. 7 speed and 9 speed autoboxes of Mercedes cars are probably the finest in their class. (So it should be as their formula 1 cars give them enough tech input). Also Auidi’s auto box with double clutch...

    With all these UAV’s we are building and their effectiveness being established, we should now be looking in to : 1. Establish a separate Airforce UAV command that will serve all three forces. (Not detracting from individual forces’ UAV usage for force-specific cases) 2. Set up an educational...

    It is funny but sad at the same time. Unfortunately this is where we are at the moment. Because we can not build Altay, we are trying to find solutions to counteract our adversaries’ technical superiority.

    Think of a M60 or M60A3 with a 105mm gun, and fitted with APS like Pulat and ERA fitted over turret. If our 105mm Tanoks are capable of reaching 6+ to 8 km then they are modern tank killers since Tanok has top penetration mode. No tank is going to have a sabot round that can penetrate from that...

    It IS a heavy tank. When suddenly a lot of torque is needed the transmission is put under a lot of strain. Meterials Engineering used in gearing has to be very precise and is very important. Germans excel in this area. Just look at the auto boxes they use in Mercedes and especially in Audi cars...

    Ktj3200 is actually ready to go on SOM and Atmaca. But as is the case for all new engines, the kjt3200 had to be integrated in to the said missiles. All tests have been completed. Engine parameters have been redesigned to be compatible with the missiles. (These missiles were using French TR40...

    Current level of Hybrid technology is such that you do not need a transmission anymore. Hence space and overall weight savings. Li-ion battery technology has increased so much that they do not take as much space as they once did. Also remember that batteries can be placed anywhere within the...

    There is so much public pressure about the Altay tank that to take the pressure off they will probably be producing a number of tanks - possibly less than a dozen or so in the months to come - with the spare MTU engines they have for the leo2a4‘s. Also refurbish and upgrade the 5 prototypes...

    I don’t think we will have any problem building the plane with all the technical help from BAE Systems and the know how we have accumulated building f35, f16 etc. Most important part of the plane is the engine. Without it, all of this is immaterial. With Altay we made the mistake of not...
