Yes quite sure. It’s landing length allowance is around 95 metres. It manages to stop in 87m. quote: It took just 87 metres for the jet to come to full halt during the test at the Goa's Shore-Based Test Facility. This was what the Tejas-N needed to replicate out at sea when it landed on the...

I was not talking about a catapult. Indian Hal Tejas takes off with ski lift , without catapult in 125 metres, and lands in 87 m with arresting hooks. Weight of plane etc these are all matters that need to be addressed. I know. But if there is a will there is a way. It took them years to do it...

You have answered it I think Knox class. There should be approx 10 in inventory?

On paper it was supposed to have : 5 x Aselsan 25mm STOP 2 x Phalanx CIWS 1 x RAM https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/sungur-low-level-air-defense-system-is-ready-to-enter-service-4105 If I recall correctly couple of Phalanx CWIS from old platforms were going to be used. But...

Well! It is not very likely that Mr Kotil has used a wrong word. I have not come across it till now. But; He may have tried to say : 1: The new engine is bigger than 2 f16 engines, 2: The new engine is as powerful as 2 F16 engines put together, 3: The 2 new engines are bigger/more powerfulthan...

As it stands I can’t see it operating any planes in the short term. To take the ski lift off the design when building the ship was going to be more expensive than leaving it. So probably because of this it was left. But during the building of the ship f35 idea materialised and the surface of...

If that is the case then you are correct. However as they have also been in the project they could easily produce an engine like F136 if they wanted to. If you look at thousands of planes that British Airways have used over the years, be it Airbus or Boeing they all have RR engines on them. So...

Yeah. Very interesting. I had read this before. Apparently the F110GE132 engine has a potential to be a 35000lbf thrust engine.

The prototypes are definitely f110GE129 engines. But set up for twin use like the f15 eagle engines. These are 29000lbf thrust engines. The engine design that TR Motor has published is actually similar in design with F110GeE132 engines with their specific blisk design. These engines are...

Kotil says by 18th March 2023 the engine of the TFX wil start to work. His sentence about “this plane has a larger engine than 2 F16 engines” does not make sense. I wonder if the serial production engine being designed is something quite different to f110 prototype engines. RR had built an...

This is fantastic news! If this was the position 3-4 years ago, we would have been in possession of an engine by now. (But there is a reason for everything) . Let us hope that this projected partnership comes to fruition.

Let us get our facts straight! This document is a “project development“ document issued by SSB. Turkish SSB, does not open tenders. It is the Ministery of Defence that opens tenders. Because they are the BUYERS. SSB starts projects with companies, be it state owned or private. It is the job of...

Missiles can not differentiate between decoys and real targets themselves apart from infrared heat signatures. But; Turkish company Meteksan makes a SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) millimetre radar called MILSAR especially produced for use on UAV’s. This radar can work as a FLIR from a range of...

Have you got source that says the price quoted by Ethem Sancak includes engine and transmission development? As far as I know it does not! The quote was given on the basis of buying the Tank’s engine and transmission from MTU and Renk, as at the time of the quotation there were no problems with...

What about it? I don’t quite understand your question. What has it got anything to do with hitting a tank with a missile and it’s survival? Can you explain what you mean pls?

Crew may survive. But the tank is close to destroyed with a 155mm round. But with a Teber or Lacin (moving target version of Teber) delivering 89 kg of explosives no tank would stand a chance. It would totally demolish the tank. There won’t be much left of the crew either as the whole armoury of...

Most important properties of SOM missile is it’s constructional geometry, materials and paint. They impart a “stealth” property to the missile. With a very low RCS , this makes the missile deadly. I can’t wait to see the C and J versions of this missile which will allow it to hit moving sea...

There was a picture taken in Iraq, of an M1Abrams tank turned upside down, sitting on it‘s turret after a 155mm round exploded right next to it. A 155mm round weighs ~43.2kg and contains 6.6 kg of explosives. Do not underestimate the power of HE rounds. 90 kg of explosives is HUGE! Look what...

I am afraid we have to worry about it until Turkey’s current leadership accepts Sisi government as legitimate and/or forms peaceful relations as per the two nations actually want. And Egyptian leadership does not take a stance against Turkey in international matters such as aligning itself with...

With the amount of military build up Egyptian army is going through - even though it is a mish mash of all sorts - it will be a force we will have to think about confronting; considering the fact that we have sea borders in the Eastern Mediterranean. Quantitatively and on paper they are bigger...
