I would take whatever that guy says with a pinch of salt. He kept saying “we were partners in F35 production and the deliveries are going on as planned“. Then we got kicked out of the F35 program. Not even worth mentioning!

Correct! There is great amount of work to be done. Due to extreme speed, mechanical vibration and heat, the related electronics will be subjected to conditions never before experienced by our technicians. But just think of a Bora missile; acceleration to hypersonic speeds. Then re-entry in to...

Just to add to ramjet scramjet conversation; A ramjet engine is actually a very simple engine compared to a turbojet engine. It has no compressor blades and no turbines. But in order to create compressed combustion, the engine has to be at at supersonic speeds so that the air is pushed and...

Not if you are building a modern super agile jet fighter. The more aerodynamically unstable an aircraft is the more highly maneuverable it is. So you introduce unstable elements to your design parameters to make it agile. Then try to correct the instability with computers. That is why you need...

I am sure it can lock on multiple targets. It will have air to air and air to surface missiles like HGK-ER and SOM-J. Also will be doing all this in a web based communication medium. SAR/GMTI radar Milsar by Meteksan will also be a big asset for this UAV.

No! It means it has a lot more separate systems onboard that need computer control. Aesa radar, flight control system, satellite communications, ELINT/SIGINT System, ESM Pod, Collision Avoidance System, weapons control, electronic warfare pod are just some of them.

Ai35 is actually ai305 and is still in drawing board by inchenko progress Rather than trying to develop a new engine with a company that has not done any development since Soviet era I would go with a production line unit that has been proven and is being used.

Pakistan’s 700km range Babur missile is probably using Motor-Sich MS400 turbofan engine. With it’s 3.92KN thrust and 315mm diameter, it is actually ideal for the Gezgin missile too. With all the new cooperation mood we are in with Ukraine , we may have started using this engine for our Gezgin.

No! All hisar missiles are dual pulse missiles. Be it, A, A+, O, O+ . They are of different sizes. Longer ones have longer ranges. Bigger fuel tanks make it reach further. The whole idea is to provide extra thrust at terminal phase. So you MUST have a dual pulse engine to do that. Of course if...

There is no second stage in these motors. Only one stage and one motor. It has, however 2 fuel tanks. It uses it’s first fuel tank to get close. Then it starts to lose speed. This is when it opens up second fuel tank and re-ignites. This is why you see a fireball. It reaches maximum speed...

Exactly! Just clarify a bit; Dual Pulse does not mean two stage! It means it has 2 fuel tanks. It uses it’s first fuel tank to get close to the target. As it starts losing speed it opens up second tank and re-ignites. Hence the fireball you see before impact. It reaches it’s top speed, catches...

According to a Russian source Turkey actually tested Gezgin Cruise missile while testing the S400 system in Sinop earlier this year. The missile was launched from a submarine according to the source. if this news is correct Turkish navy may have a very big advantage in the eastern Med. provided...

I would also like to see ESSM Blk2 equivalent, G40 Blk2 from Roketsan as they are part of the consortium developing it.

Russians tend to add to their missiles’ speed, range and altitude figures as they want to sell their missile systems. Thus they exaggerate a bit. They were giving 400km range for S400 even though the missile with that range was not even ready. Turkish Army will never give you the exact...

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-15/turkey-vows-to-work-with-other-nations-in-response-to-u-s-kipvs7e9 İbrahim Kalın, Presidential Spokeperson has given an interview to Bloomberg where he says that “Turkey will develop its own defense industry in cooperation with other nations”...

We are all very angry for the way we have been treated. Also the double standard the two faced US has applied to Turkey. But at the same time we have to accept the fact that if they wanted to, they could decimate Turkish economy. In this COVID stricken and very difficult world, our economy is...

Exactly! YOU are MY bitch. You can’t go and buy stuff from my enemy. That is what it boils down to I’m afraid! Have an army strong enough to be on my side when a major war breaks out ; and I can replenish you with all the necessary equipment you know how to use, quickly when that need arises...

After reading this I can’t help thinking that the Russians aren’t very happy now for selling the S400 system to Turkey. Following the collapse of USSR, Turkey purchased S300 systems from Ukraine and Belarus less theır missile. In Konya they were extensively investigated. This was done because...

You are correct. Aselsan’s own site clearly says 61kg. I stand corrected! still 2 x60 kg launchers = 120kg Cats = 61 kg 6x mam l = 132 kg total = 313 kg...
