As you are living in Netherlands you should know that in Western world governments do not have much say over how private companies conduct their affairs. Unless they contradict the national security. War equipment manufacturers and “civilian” aviation parts manufacturers are governed by...

The problem with Qatar in TFX engine project had nothing to do with Britain liking to disliking Qatar. RR, simply did not want a third party to have access to the engine technology they were going to release to Kale and Turkey. Qatar having 49% share in TR Motor meant this could not be achieved...

You are talking about a small company in suburban England that produces small civilian aircraft fuel valves that decided on its own not to supply these to Bayraktar when Armenian embassy told them that their valves were being used in active warfare. Nothing to do with RR nor with UK government...

These are the real Diesel engine Gurus. They specialise in Diesel engines. But mainly in Marine and railway locomotive engines. You may find that this particular engine too is for same type of end use. But, interestingly Tulomsas has declared that they are subcontractors for the Altay Tank. In...

RR had originally offered to produce an engine in Turkey with Kale for TFX and had no reservations about us selling it to third parties. Their only condition was not to pass on the technology to third parties. We are already working with UK’s BAE Systems to develop our TFX. A collaboration in...

If I am not mistaken, their main guns will be changed with the new MKE 76mm guns when they become available.

You need to read the complete article published and shared here. It is not as clear cut as this news is portraying. It is talking about an advantage Turkey‘s Navy is going to have in 2027, when all 6 subs are in service. But…. What the article and this news clip don’t mention is the fact that...

I can’t see a phalanx in this picture!

They are purpose built ships for coastline security and search and rescue. They only have 2x127mm gun and a 40mm main gun as armament. they do have a 10ton capacity helicopter landing platform. But I don’t think they carry a dedicated helicopter themselves. Also do not possess the stealthy...

I doubt it will be, if it is still in the hands of BMC clowns. They couldn’t even modernise leo4 tanks.

Actually I don’t think that they ever caught up with the West. There is a saying ; There is more than one way to skin a cat. Russians/Soviets made practical machines instead of high tech elaborate machines, that served their purpose. When US spent millions of dollars to perfect a ballpoint pen...

They have done the hard work at a very short time. It doesn’t take long to reach to the final point. I agree with @TheInsider about the Vulcano and Dart ammo. Especially Vulcano is a game changer. But high speed fire rate will increase kill rate drastically if you are not using smart ammo. It...

Well, they are the project owners. They are the ones to decide what has to be done to achieve a first class gun. Aselsan is the fire control system developer. We know that. And they already have a very good system that is operational on the Oto Melara guns. Problem is with the speed of the gun...

Last one is , ease of inspection of rivets. This is what I found with google search: Pros Rivets are cheap Riveting can be done regardless of the position/location. (vertical, etc.) Very high shear strength and resistance from fatigue Removing a rivet causes less damage than a welded joint...

I don’t see the point of this gun as it is, when our new ships have a much better version of it, already on them. Our companies like Aselsan and Roketsan have always produced an equipment that is at least as good if not better than the equivalent of current foreign alternative. Atmaca, Bora...

Aluminium bodies? Al not heat friendly. rivets give stronger joints

You are correct! External storage is for sure. But internally no! https://www.overtdefense.com/2019/08/16/us-turkish-cruise-missile-som-j-may-be-a-victim-of-f-35-no-sale-fallout/
