You are wrong with your numbers. As an inhabitant of Hatay , let me enlighten you a bit: Without being “too precise” : 1. Hatay population was around 1.5 million. 500 thousand of these were of Arab descent. These people are predominantly true Kemalists and followers of Ataturk’s revolutions...

Gürcan Okumuş’s own words: “SOM-J, F-35 iç istasyonu için geliştirilen bir seyir füzesi olmakla beraber hem F-16'da hem Milli Muharip Uçağımızın (MMU) iç istasyonunda kullanılabilecek çok yetenekli önemli bir seyir füzemiz.” “Som-J is a very capable cruise missile that can be used from the...

It should have enough space to accommodate a2a missiles and a Som-j . Mr Gurcan Okumus of Tubitak/Sage, specifically iterated that the TFX will be able accommodate a Som-j missile in it’s internal bays. I wouldn’t take everything written in media as gospel.

Ramjets for 155mm artillery rounds have been envisaged. But there is a limit about the size and cost effectiveness of a ramjet engine. This also includes the amount of fuel used to achieve range. I think your answer is in below site! Technically it could be possible. But practically why would...

That is wrong. Brahmos was developed as a surface to surface missile. Zircon has been launched from surface (land and sea) first. it is either a misunderstanding or a case specific situation he was talking . I have just listened to him. He says Ramjet is not launched from land (meaning from...

Ramjet engine can be fuelled either with liquid fuels or with solid fuels. Of the current, ramjet engined a2a missiles; Meteor, PL21 and R-77PD missiles are all solid fuel powered. Solid fuels, make ramjet missiles, easy to store. Also as most Ramjet fuels need certain solid metal particles to...

Looking at their site, my understanding is such that it is a submersible boat. But actually designed to sail on surface. Hence the higher speed when on surface. 8 people (2 crew members and 6 special op personnel) will be sitting in the open seating positions even when submerged, with full...

I think you meant TCG Derya A1590. DIMDEG https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tcg-derya-a1590-aselsan-gokdeniz/

KTJ3200 acceptance tests had been completed earlier in June this year. It was in serial production phase. Last news was that a live sinking of a sea platform with ktj3200 powered missile launch was to be performed. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/ktj-3200-tubojet-motoru-seri-uretim/

Atmaca is going to be a big game changer in the Aegean Sea. It can go round an island and hit it’s target that is on the other side of the island. With it’s “super sea skimming” capability, Atmaca can stealthily approach a target hiding behind islands and destroy it ; Either by going round the...

I seem to remember that the license holder Navantia wants to deliver the ship and see it operate in it’s contractual state. Whatever is going to be added will have to be done after Navy’s full acceptance And if and when the Navy allows it.

If one can read between the lines of the below statement, can one deduce that the permission to use Honeywell engines for Pakistani t-129’s have been obtained? quote: ATAK helikopterinin silah ve toplarını TRMekatronik olarak geliştirmeye başladıklarını kaydeden Sarsılmaz Yönetim Kurulu Başkanı...

Thanks for the reply. However comparing 80rounds per minute gun’s barrel life to a 120 rounds per minute gun is not fair. Slower gun should inherently have a longer barrel life anyway. I know that MKE has been developing a very long lasting coating for the gun barrels and improving the gun...

Can you explain to us what makes the MKE gun “a lot” better than super rapid please? (Apart from being indigenous)

MKE has done a great job. If memory serves, they were also working on a 155mm Excalibur like munition with guidance. So it is only logical to assume that it may not be too long before a Vulcano type indigenously produced 76mm round is produced to complete the project.

@Anmdt , If Turkish Navy can get Super Rapid version at the lower price Oto Melara was supposedly offering recently , do you still think they will place orders on this indigenous but lower spec version?

In all honesty, you don’t really need kinetic energy of the fragments to stop Brahmos or any missile. The fragments create a wall that the missile hits. So the missile’s kinetic energy is enough for the fragments to destroy the outer shell of the missile and break it up. The real problem lies...
