Where it originated from is an unknown. Most Likely there is a record of it in Kurecik. But Turkey doesn’t have access to this so called NATO radar, even though it provides security for it. US or Israel could have easily fired an interceptor and let it self detonate over Turkish airspace...

If you check below map, you will see that where the remnants of the interceptor fell, Dortyol is 20-25km north of Iskenderun. That is too far north of Cyprus. It probably was going for the old US Incirlik-Adana airforce base. It is now a Turkish base for use of NATO too. Also that line goes all...

Yes, UK has too many radical Islamists. That is because the emphasis the UK government puts on multi cultural society we live in. They have allowed too many radicalised islamists in to the country. And let them fester in their circles the poison they brought with them. The government go out of...

New caretaker supreme leader of Iran, Arifi’s take on Karabakh: “Nagorno-Karabakh belongs to Azerbaijan and is part of Islam”. First part of the sentence is good and interesting coming from a Kurdish/sectarian religious fanatic. But the second part betrays his real roots.

TUSAŞ General Manager Demiroğlu inspected the ANKA-3's domestically produced TF-6000 engine on the test platform. I hope we may see the TF6000 on an Anka-3 earlier than envisaged. Logic dictates that by the time those LRIP birds are built, this engine will have reached the necessary maturity...

Be it a promise to be elected in the next election again or be it to be an Epstein style hold on them or be it through outright bribery; what is clear is that the strongest country in the world is being managed by an elite minority of a mainly Jewish lobby. (It has to be remembered that there...

I know they did. But did it do any good? One individual was denied US visa and the EDD (equipment development department) was banned from having export licences. The latter must be hurting still, in spite of the fact that China has been trying to circumvent it though illicit means.

There are 3 countries that are subject to CAATSA sanctions. Russia, Nort Korea and Iran. If any country deals with any of these three they can be hit with CAATSA sanctions. China is walking the tight rope here if it is selling weapons to İran. Buying oil is already a sanctionable move. However...

If technology is driven by profit then we get in to bottlenecks in the end. Our current civilisation has taken the internal combustion engine and spent billions and billions to upgrade it over the last century to create such a machine that it has become far too complex to handle. Electric cars...

According to this news, the 4 ship armada made out of Türkiye’s most modern 4 ships, will be mooring in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

My wording wasn’t totally correct probably. It should have read : TF6000 is “almost” ready for flying. As mentioned by Dr Aksit, it already produces more thrust than current Motor Sich engine that flies Anka-3. . Since it is an unmanned platform that it will fly, it can be integrated in to...

TF6000 is almost ready. It has already produced almost the required thrust. (I caught In an interview Mr Demiroglu mentioning 5970lbf thrust being achieved). By the time the first LRIP samples are ready, that engine will be ready too. Inspite of the war and the bombing of the factory site, Motor...

Bro you’ve mis understood @Merzifonlu ‘s comments. Look at TF6000. 3-4 months ago it had already developed more thrust than the engine that was being used on Anka-3. Dr Aksit then said that if needed this engine can now be used. But if we are to wait for the engine to mature, then we are looking...

We will have to agree to disagree then. It is an accepted form that; A jet fighter is considered ready to be part of the operational inventory when it achieves Initial Operational Capability (IOC). This is a formal, high-level military milestone indicating that a sufficient number of aircraft...

Bro, Testing and integrating is one thing; But to accept a fighter jet in to inventory means it is ready to go out in to battlefield. Currently a number of TB3s are operating from TCG Anadolu. But they are still being tested by Baykar and are still being initiated to be full fighting tools of...

You are correct. My bad. Forgot that. In that case all they need to do is to ask TAI!

It is not an easy task to use Internal Weapons Bay to fire missiles. There are various technical issues that need to be addressed. The primary issues stem from complex, unsteady aerodynamics during transition from the enclosed bay conditions to the free airstream conditions. This is even harder...

They are talking about KE joining the inventory early this year. Yet this “stealthy” aircraft yet to carry munition and test firing it from its internal weapon bays. This is not a cheap piece of equipment that can be discarded. All munitions must be carried in its IWB if it needs to stay...
