AFAIK tactios has open an architecture compatible with all nato standard systems. so, atmaca integration wont be that hard. maybe, they want to integrate atmaca with two hamilton class frigate too?! these once used to carry harpoons. but as you suggested, these atmaca can also be costal batteries.

not unusual, given the fact that, over 800 f35 in service all around the world.

yes, but i was just making fun of our old ships, from my personal experience. the one i visited was BNS umar farooq. believe it or not, in the bridge, the screens in the console were covered with old wood panels. and that photo that you are asking about is from bangabandhu. it has Thales...

Not sure right now, i was just making a general point. Unofficially? yes, but defense ministry assured that, all the ship would be delivered to the navy by 2030.

Dont worry, i personally visited one of our ships. they are just too old to be classified! hopefully, if we can get our frigate program going in next 4/5 years it will fix all the issues and fill the capability gaps. by the way, Indonesia really did a good job with the procurement of those six...

https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/aerospace-and-defense-industry-of-turkey This report suggesting that, Turkish companies won 8.5 billion dollars of orders in 2021. @TheInsider Any comment ?

Then it should be previous years orders ? I guess, the first delivery is made within 2 years of the order.

@TheInsider could you explain how they count export sum of every month? is it based on how much they deliver to the customers or how much order they get ?

@Isa Khan Could you give any source for ATGM and MANPAD project being in motion ? it would be helpful.

why?

you missed that part from my post. "of course, first few years it would be mostly just assembly, with most parts coming from aboard. but it will develop skill and manpower. and Walton got the best infrastructure for that, at least when it comes to electronics."

ASAIK, F7's lifespan is 3000hours. It is barely possible to keep them in service for 20 years. ( with only 150 flying hours per year, which is very low ) I am not sure, if it would be plausible to keep them 30 years in service like 4th gen migs, if we really want to UP BAF standard. Besides, in...

You are assuming things that I didn't meant. I never said, walton ( or any other company for that matter ) is going to do anything meaningful overnight! Of course, it will take time to absorb and develop these techs. In your word, just because walton only manufacture 'few electronics' doesn't...

@Flextape I was wondering if army has any concept of 'combined arms battalion' or something like 'armor and mechanized infantry company' ( both us army terms ) Meaning, a combination of armors ( tanks ) and mechanized infantry (BTR80 ) in single fighting group. Do we have anything like that ...

Chinese engine in 2022 are much better than what it used to be 5/7 years ago. Both ws-10c and the latest variant of ws-15 reached service life of 4000hours. ( which on per with g414 powering Indian amca and South korean KF21 ) 15 years ago they started with only 800hours service life. And in...

In my opinion, this is Very unlikely that, KE will have the same RCS value of an f35. it got canards, even if they are made of composite. it got various visible antennas on the top, and actuators on the vertical stabilizer. behind the canard, wings merging lines with fuselage is not very...

In my opinion, when it come to potential future buyers or cooproducers of tfx, Pakistan and Indonesia are unlikely name. First and foremost, when it comes to pakistan, there are two fundemantel factors, one is the technical dimension of pakistan 5th gen fighter procurement. Another one is the...

If there is new partners in TFX project at that stage it would be financial as @I_Love_F16 pointed out. However, if right circumstances appear ( not sure ) Turkey may give TOT for spare parts to some it's closest allies who may buy the aircraft in big numbers and want to keep them operational...

I was used to think like that, but after some interaction with few air force personals, my point of view changed. I surprisingly learned, it is more complicated than how it appears on the first look. Now, when it comes to training, with the induction of 105th Advanced Jet Training Unit (...

It's not about money in that sense. Pakistan with a lesser economy operates hundred of aircrafts! and if Myanmar with six times smaller economy can afford to operate almost 50 4th gen fighters we can definitely buy 16 eurofighter or rafale. However, Myanmar is country like north Korea and...
