All of the above. I know of 2 guys who went to US who were KOC University graduates. They were offered starting salaries ranging from 8000TL to 18000TL in Turkey for jobs in IT. Their starting salaries in US were 3000 to 3500dollars. Now they are on 7000 to 10000dollars a month after 2 years...

When you have a limited number of torpedo tubes ( 8 to be precise - 4 of them harpoon/atmaca capable) and very limited spares due to restricted space, you really need to have weapons with a lot of clout. Although TRG-300 is a very capable weapon in it’s own right, it is no match when compared to...

What you “think” and the reality quite often do not match. Below is the picture of an Abrams tank that took a direct hit of an HE 155mm shell. It is totally destroyed. I can’t find the picture of the Abrams that had turned upside down. But if a 155mm HE shell explodes nearby, believe me, the...

If you watch the clip again you will see that the missile doesn’t contain explosives. The dust cloud is through it’s kinetic energy at impact. I remember watching a 155mm HE shell exploding next to an Iraqi M1Abrams MBT. The whole tank was thrown upside down. 155mm shell contains 6.6 kg...

Anyone who has a serious criminal record as described in Turkish criminal code is automatically exempted from being a civil servant and hence politics. People who who have organic connection with PKK and don’t denounce terrorist organisations should really, automatically be exempted from being...

Apparently we are in negotiations with S Korea regarding a 30 billion dollar nuclear power plant in Sinop.

Luckily I wasn‘t. But I misssed it by less than 20 minutes on M62 few years back when I was driving back to London. Behind me , motorists were stranded for over 24 hours on the motorway. Emergency services supplied fuel and hot beverages to the stranded motorists. It does happen there almost...

Electric cars may be the wrong route to take when you look at the underlying potential problems they have. Main reason we want to go non-fossil fuel route is to save the planet and get a zero carbon footprint. But the electricity used in fully electric cars are predominantly produced by power...

@Chocopie , @AzeriTank The Turkish name for this chemical is “Bor Karbür”. English name İis “Boron Carbide”. Since we are communicating in English we should endeavour to use the English names of chemicals too so that it is more eligible to everyone. @AzeriTank , I suggest you read the post of...

https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/dimdex-2022-atmaca-to-be-modified-for-launch-from-submarines-and-vls As mentioned in this article earlier this year and https://raillynews.com/2021/09/Working-on-a-submarine-launched-version-of-the-hawk-missile/ the above article dated September...

Believe me they are attached and controlled. Zoom a little you will notice that they are. Roketsan's engineering capability is so good that you can't tell the canard are attached.

The canard control missiles of this ilk have “free-to-rotate” tail fins. They do not have actuators. If you watch carefully in slow mo, the tail fin rotates freely. Due to the tilted aerodynamic construction of the tail fins the induced tail fin rolling moment opposes the direct canard control...

Back end is not fixed. The fins at the back are tilted and rotate to stabilise flight. Canard controlled rockets may need rotating tail fins for flight stabilisation. Canard-controlled missiles are commonly used by designers. These missiles have, induced roll problem generated by the canard tip...

That is a game changer development. Akinci class UCAV firing stand off precision strike missiles that can hit their target at high supersonic speeds will be very difficult to intercept. These missiles have 4+ Mach top speed. At 30000+ feet altitude with even a few hundred kilometre per hour...

This issue was discussed here and the situation of Korean transmission was explained by @Baljak in detail. Just do an “Altay Transmission- Baljak” search and you will see the explanation. According to @Baljak this was most probably a defective part that needed to be redesigned and...

Can it be the exhaust nozzle of the auxiliary power unit? After all it is a jet engine as well. And it was being developed by TRMotor and Ivchenko Progress. Here is the one of A380 at the very posterior of the plane’s tail.

Ukraine War has shown the importance of artillery in battlefield. Provided the accuracy of the rounds are increased with economical methods like , Aselsan “mesafece duzeltme” system, you can not beat the effect of an artillery barrage. Unfortunately many artillery systems are not very...

Regarding Brahmos’s speed at terminal stage; First of all this is a ramjet powered missile. It has sustained thrust all through it’s flight envelop. In order for ramjet to function it has to fly at supersonic speeds. Brahmos has a top speed of 2.8-3 Mach at high altitude. But at sea skimming...

If memory serves, for every one we buy, one more can be exported. Or something along those lines. So 109 units order placed for Turkish use. But there will be 109 units that will be exported. Whether that export responsibility is on Sikorsky or on us I can’t remember. Over all Sikorsky and Tusas...
