Unless we are going to produce a cruise missile with a range in excess of 1200km, using a turbojet engine to propel the cruise missile is sufficient. Turbofan engines are more expensive to manufacture, and a turbojet that is optimised for lower altitude, long distance flight (up to around...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/f-16-ozgurden-atmaca-ve-gezgin-fuzesi-atilabilecek/ Good news about using more of our indigenously produced weapons on our air platforms. But it is becoming very tiresome to read a lot of will, shall, going tos. The last two paragraphs of the above article is most...

Check out my post on https://defencehub.live/threads/turkish-air-force-news-discussion.2740/page-89#post-245400 page 89 post#1761 Additionally stealth parameters will be much improved. Due to extensive and effective use of directed energy weapons, very large power generation will be a prerequisite.

I agree to a point. But never underestimate West’s hold on their technological prowess. They will never like to relinquish what they have, that easily. They will do their best to hamper our engine development pursuits. We need a family of engines developed from TF6000/10000 that will power...

If you read my post properly you would see that it is the maximum velocity this missile achieves. Due to it’s lower weight and being ballistic it would have a terminal velocity of just over 1Mach. Just check page 20 post#394 Israeli rampage missiles have suppressed trajectories and perform...

SOM series, KGK and HGK bombs are stealthy. Atmaca and CAKIR rely on low flight characteristics and manoeuvrability. Please feel free to add more. Those are what I could think of. Level of stealth of our SOM series is supposed to be very good. If memory serves it was designed with more...

There is also some very important points that needs to be remembered: Çakır uses an air breathing engine for propulsion and is subsonic (0.75-0.85 Mach). It has been designed to sink a surface ship. At least take it out of commission. (it has a warhead weight of 70kg) It is expensive albeit not...

Let’s not go back to page 152 , post#3022 where there are written documents that this radar was to be installed on planes by 2016 and onwards. This project was in the pipeline around 2011s. If you move the goalpost to the latest declaration of delivery/integration date, then your 6 months delay...

All of the above are valid points that could well have happened. But at the end of the day for us mere mortals waiting to see our own radar performing on those planes and not seeing it happen is most frustrating. Especially after being given dates, year after year. We seem to have too many...

@Strong AI We are awaiting an Aesa radar integrated on our Özgür F16 planes. Not a test model for Akinci. I remember in 2014, Aselsan and then SSB bragging about having Aesa radars fitting process starting on all our f16s by 2016. Since that day we’ve heard every year “end of this year” or...

It may have all the bells and whistles to do with avionics, flight and targeting computers etc etc. But without the Murad Aesa radar that plane is a lion with no teeth. Aselsan has lagged badly behind schedule with the Özgür’s Aesa project. That radar should have been on that plane a few years...

Well it all depends on how quickly US can integrate some of the improvements being tested by the engine manufacturers, on to the plane. There is going to be a new Aesa radar with GaN based TR modules. This will be accompanied by new avionics. A new engine is in the pipeline. Although P&W is...

I am afraid they did not. https://news.yahoo.com/greece-not-transfer-300-systems-161400322.html

SRBM damage on runways can be easily repaired. Multiple Cruise missile bomb damage did not take out Syrian air strip out of action for long. Even specially built runway bombs like BLU-107 Durandal which lands on runways in clusters and destroys it in multiple places can be repaired. Greece has 6...

M May I ask what you are going to do with 2 x TF10000 engines with afterburners on a flying wing? I guess you know that no one in the world uses afterburner engines with flying wings? Apart from augmenting take off power (which is silly for a flying wing due to it’s high lift design) an...

Read the first paragraph again in it's entirety please. There is no mention in my article about tf6000 or ts1400. Nevertheless A 3rd generation single crystal will have the same parameters and specifications wherever it is being used. F119 engine when first flying serial production f22s were...

It is Dr Aksit who mentioned it. He said we could produce an engine like f119 that powers f22 at TEI. He stated that TFX will need an engine that will develop a thrust level of 35000lbf with afterburners. F119 has a wet thrust of 35000lbf and a dry thrust of 26000lbf.
