I was not thinking about the AESA light radar that Akinci is supposed to get, but a big new radar with considerable range carried in some way by aksungur or Akinci. (kinda like UAV AWACS)

Communication should not be a problem, cos modern link systems enable shooting of a missile from platform A but being guided by platform B I think our biggest handicap is airborne radars, we have only 4 peace eagle platforms. We should think about flying radars (mounted on UCAV's) For...

Tubitak is working on ramjet engine. If everything goes well Roketsan can develop AA missiles with ramjet in several years. I was wondering how much the combination of ramjet missile on Akinci UCAV would help our air defenses We have the classical thought of fast jet with missile in our mind...

mistery is called stealth, composite body. Same with the Harop

You miss the basic point, yes towed sonar can be use but towed sonar is usually used for tracking / hunting submarines. In normal use a ship does not lay out the towed sonar. In normal use the hull mounted sonar functions all the time. Especially in battle situations who is going to give you...

I lost you, what has Atmaca to do with the hull mounted sonar on MMSC? You probably mean AKYA torpedo. So Greek motto is we do not need SONAR because Turkey has to go for an all out war. Great planning, what can I say :)

What you say I can agree for the Aegean, which is mostly shallow and I concur that hull mounted sonar has less effect to none. But what about Mediterranean? Are Greeks planning to stay out of the Mediterranean?

What do you guys think of the MMSC? Overall it is good, kinda like our I-class. There is one particular item that the MMSC lacks: hull mounted sonar As you know the LCS (now renamed to MMSC) is designed on US specs for US coast and actually more used as OPV than real frigate while it initially...

Ok, tell me also why TB2 and Harop were so successfull and not other types of drones that are equally slow

It won't be exact of course but pretty close. The RCS values of F22 is for instance even for X-band radars a problem and that makes the F22 so unique, otherwise technologically the F35 is much much more modern and advanced.

Not really, F35 is much bigger and heavier. Yet is has a much smaller RCS

EW is a good theorie but unlikely IMO, reason is that Pantsirs in Libya were destroyed at distances that are unlikely for Turkish EW to have any effect. Secondly most TB2 downing's occurred in Tripolis when the drone was ascending or descending for take off and landing coming into the range of...

I want to discuss a little bit about the success of drones like TB2 and Israeli Harop. As lately Azerbaijan used these drone very successfully against Russian type airdefense systems like OSA, TOR-M2 and even S-300. The biggest enabler of these drones were their "stealth" low radar cross...

Look at the writer of the article. Writen by Burak Ege Bekdil, this guy never shows any source and just writes something he makes up. I would not put to mutch hope on his writings.

This year we unfortunately have less defense exports compared to 2019. In 2019 Turkey achieved $2.741bln in defense exports, this year attributed to the covid pandemic countries have spend less and so we see that back in our exports as well. In the first 10 months of 2020 the exports stands at...

Bu son günlerde Aselsan tarafindan tanitimi yapilan STR radari birçok yönü ile İsrail Elta EL/M-2084 MMR (470 km for air surveillance/ 100 km for enemy weapon location detection) radarına benzemekte (bunu söyleyen sayin Ibrahim Sünetçi) ufak değişikliklerle hava savunma atış kontrol görevi de...

If UK is interested I would think the interest would go to Aksungur with her long endurance and low operating cost due to double turbodiesel engines. Reapers are good but more expensive, also in operation

Check the detail: APAR* Bl2 (= X-BAND AESA radar!!!) X-band becomes more and more important with all those stealth fighters and drones.
