This is the news he gave us all. But there is more important information lying there between the lines. Current Atak-T129 CT-800 engine develops 1298HP continuous power. Our TS-1400 engine has a continuous power output of 1400HP. CT-800 develops 1375HP at take off. But TS-1400 develops 1475HP at...

To me it looks more like African customers being trained on the use and fitting of arms aspect on the TB2!

This is reality. Professor Aksit states: We are now in a position and readiness to produce the engine of MMU. We can manufacture it in 12-13 years. This is the guy who knows what he is talking about. It is not easy to produce a 35000lbf class turbofan engine that will meet the stringent demands...

Most of what you write is correct. But it is not the whole story. For operations within or close proximity to our borders what you propose is doable. But operating the drones in another country’s air space is another kettle of fish. We mustn’t deceive ourselves; We need to get our facts right...

Nothing in Turkish Army’s current inventory can replace F4s. In fact the only aircraft that can replace and do justice to f4, is F15. US airforce replaced the F4 with two more modern aircrafts; F15 and F16 for air operations, and with F14 Tomcat in the navy. That alone shows what a versatile...

https://www.19fortyfive.com/2022/04/5-reasons-the-f-35-is-the-best-fighter-on-earth-pictures/ Interesting article on F35. Basically claiming that it is the best fighter aircraft on earth today, and explaining why! Bullet points : 1. One aircraft three different uses. Conventional, Carrier...

This is a very petty reply! With this line of thought; we should not be writing anything whatsoever about defence matters. As everything is a military project we don’t need to know and comment about! This is nothing to do with knowing state secrets. We are talking and extrapolating on the basis...

Expensive exercise to prove that iron dome works! But to do it second time is silly! This is when you need your “Iron Beam” completely operational with all the bells and whistles in full working order.

I would love to be wrong. But we have heard enough from both Mr Kotil and Demir about a lot of “will” , “shall” and “going to”s . Proof of the pudding is in the eating! Have we got on record that any of our companies is physically working on a domestic engine? The answer is no! How can anyone be...

Ibrahim Sunnetci mentions it: Quote: A special hull constructed from fiberglass is placed on the outside of the pressure hull to reduce the acoustic signature and improve hydrodynamics. Carbon fiber materials are also partially used in the construction of the outer hull, which uses special Radar...

It was well known even in 2011 that Turkey was planning to use home grown Aesa radar for the F16 planes. In fact I have posts by the members of this forum, published in other forums then, that by 2015 or latest by 2016, our F16 fighters would have Aselsan built Aesa radars. Then again I have...

This modernisation programme has been going on for months now. The Tusas official is especially stressing on the fact that this is a structural modernisation and not an avionic one. (Just watch the video) Aesa and avionic upgrades necessary for the “Ozgur” modernisation will come at a later...

US Pentagon claims that the Moskva was sunk by two Ukrainian Neptune missiles. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/moskva-pentagon-russia-warship-ukraine-b2058962.html This ship was probably loaded to it’s brim with missiles and ammunition. Most of it’s weapons systems are very exposed. It...

100kWt of instantaneous thermal energy is a lot of directed energy at one point.

Not necessarily. It only means that Altay has, as good a protection as the comparable German tanks. That in turn means that Turkey and any other country that chooses Altay, will have a tank with top notch ballistic protection. (Which means German armour technology is not unique)

I have a feeling that the reason that Akkor is not finding widespread use among our armoured vehicles and tanks has it’s roots at the cost of this system being a bit prohibitive for the time being as well as some technical issues that need to be ironed out. Israel’s Trophy system costs close to...

@500 , Very effective! Do you now the power level of the laser being used and the usable operational range? For a country like Israel where the skies are clear majority of time, this is great. I guess the only drawback is the time the laser has to be in contact with the target which should be...

Plus the time to train for using them proficiently.
