There is a saying in Central Anatolia; “Water has to reach the lake before frogs’ eyes are burst” By the time German guns start making a difference it may be too late.

Members should be careful about the language they use when addressing state leaders. Offensive language is against forum rules. You can express your displeasure about the situation in a more civil and non offensive way.

If you check the dimensions of the f119, F135 and F136 engines they are not too far away from each other in terms of their diameters. (Around 117cm - 120cm) . F110 diameter also fits in to this category. It is the length of these engines that vary. F136 : 560cm F135 : 559cm F119 : 520cm F110 ...

Actually there is a contradiction in these statements. Yes the engine F110-GE-129 is the engine that is used in F16 planes. But the “E” designation is the version that is specifically produced for twin engine use for the F15E and F15EX Eagle-II planes. F16 planes do not have this engine...

Of course not. Structurally and from a naval engineering point of view you are correct. First of all it is not a test bed scenario. Cafrad is the culmination of decades long design and development which has proven itself on various tests, at land and at sea. But when your Cafrad is worth nearly...

A lot of emphasis is being given to the so called ”stealthy engine”. Do we really know what a stealthy engine entails? Yes! The IR signature has to be low. Also the sound levels have to be low. For a fighter jet; The engine has to have enough thrust to achieve high supercruise Engine size and...

If those question marks is about Cafrad; It is our domestically produced complete radar systems. You may read more about it here: https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/stunning-information-about-cafrad-and-advent-systems-shared-at-9th-naval-systems-seminar-3740 So, as we have a complete...

According to Mr Kotil, March 2023! Like many others. https://www.edrmagazine.eu/turkish-aerospace-industries-atak-2-heads-towards-2023-maiden-flight

Yes. Accordng to what Mr Kotil says, first 12 prototypes are going to be flying with F110 engines ( Not quite F16 engines, but Same engines set up for twin engine mode). These you may call non-stealth. The last 2 prototype planes will have indigenous turbofans with more power and hopefully...

If you read @Anmdt ’s previous posts, there should be a mention of Atak-2 being navalised. In fact if memory serves, the navalised Atak-2 will be the first Atak-2 our forces are to have. Proof of the pudding is in the eating; Even US has chosen an armed Blackhawk to cover some of the duties of a...

If there is going to be a navalised version of Gokbey, it will be ideal for specific missions in the naval vessels as per @Anmdt ‘s post. But this helicopter will be close to half the cost of a fully fledged T-129 Atak helicopter as a lightly militarised version. For countries that can’t afford...

Please watch what you are posting. Sectarian and religious hatred can not be quoted here. It is against forum rules as well as it is being totally off topic.

If it is true as your source says that the development of 3000HP indigenous engine is dead in the water for the time being, and Mr Kotil is talking about a 3000HP engine replacing the Ukrainian ones in later stages, there are a few options like, local production under license like the...

3000HP engine for Atak -2 was never dead. Once you start building 2000hp level turbo shaft engines, it is quite feasible to develop from it a more powerful engine. If you read the article below of Mr I Sunnetci, he makes a valid point about the T700-TEI701D engine Redevelopment. The 700 series...

Some of the bullet points of the Turkish interview concerning TFX are: 1. There will be 14 prototypes of TFX 2. 12 of these will have f110 engines 3. 2 of them will have indigenous engines 4. These could be built by TEI/TR Motor or “others” . SSB to decide 5. All prototypes will have been...

I wish they showed it as a complete single video so that we could calculate range. With excerpts of firing it is not possible to see how long the missile actually is in the air for. But probably hit the target in excess of 5km. Any ideas?? They will be the nightmare of helicopters and low...

Electromagnetic gun or rail gun as is also called, is inherently a ground breaking piece of technology that will be the cheapest and most effective way to intercept missiles or hit targets hundreds of kilometres away. It may even be used to hit targets outside of atmosphere at only a small...

According to this news Algiers have purchased TB2 drones from Turkey. Also in the meantime, the Algerian Bayraktar Crew had been taking training for quite sometime. There is a fine line about keeping a good balance between Morocco and Algiers in these sales.

1. Great your TEI engineer has explained exactly what I have been saying. I agree with everything he has said. 2. you can’t tell me to shut up. This is a forum. I am free to express my views; Especially if I have to correct wrongs. 3. This is not a pissing contest. True! But you are trying your...

Valid idea. But like every other country we need good healthy competition in this area too. Kale has two joint ventures. With P&W and with RR. TEI, although produce parts for CFM and P&W, has a partnership agreement with GE. But due to their much more advanced know how base and wider...
