THAAD uses a BAE Systems built IIR seeker. These seekers are used at the final terminal stage to pinpoint a target’s position. They are covered with heat absorbing materials and are made available at the last stage of a missile’s flight where the cover (the shroud) is discarded...

Brasil doesn’t really have any enemies.But the real gist of the matter here is being able to have access to nuclear power and nuclear technology, through which they intend to manufacture their own mini nuclear reactors to use in nuclear submarines. They have a huge country and a long shoreline...

Forget “America First” . It is “Israel First“ for all US presidents and Senate/Congress members. That has been the case for quite sometime now. So it is no surprise!

US has two missile systems in the Iran theatre that can achieve this: ATACMS and PrSM. ATACM has a 300km range with a single rocket launcher and is good for stationary targets. After 2016 there was a program to make ATACMS that can hit moving sea targets. But it was later shelved. So if the...

Wasn’t this one and the second İstif Izmir, due to be sold to Indonesia? If rumours are correct!!

I think we will have to agree to disagree. There is a a lot there that is mentioned. No one sits down re negotiating over a provisional sale if there weren’t problems there. As I have said let us agree to disagree.

ICAO is worldwide. EASA applies to European Union only. EASA is stricter. ICAO is non regulatory. It provides standards. EASA is regulatory . It makes ICAO standards legal. SHGM is our EASA. Below listed countries have bilateral agreement with Turkiye to accept SHGM certificates...

Apparently Turkiye uses SHGM certification. These certificates are issued under ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). Attached file has the list of ICAO countries that will accept these certificates: https://www.icao.int/about-icao/member-states It may not be an EASA certificate...

As far as I can see the highlighted points do add a new perspective. Demiroglu and SSB have been blowing the trumpet that the 48 planes sale was a done deal. Well according to news coming in, it is not. In fact unless the Turkish side can give unequivocally the unquestionable proof that the...

No, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Passive Electronically Scanned Array (PESA) represent two different aspects of radar technology, with the former describing an imaging technique and the latter describing an antenna architecture. (As far as I know, Aselsan do not have any PESA radars...

https://www.defenceturk.net/turk-f-16-savas-ucaklari-kibris-yolcusu In view of the latest drone activity resulting from Iranian attacks to Israel and US military positions and any country that provides help, many European countries had sent AD missile systems, jet fighters and AD frigates to...

MİLSAR is not explicitly described as a PESA (Passive Electronically Scanned Array) radar. Instead, it is defined as a Ku-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Moving Target Indication (MTI) radar. MILSAR is also not an Aesa Radar. Although Aesa radars have SAR capability to increase their...

Good point! Now let us look at F110 engine: It originated from the F101 engine originally developed for the B1 bomber in late 1970’s. So in effect the PIP package of F101 is the F110. Then a stealthy version of the F110 appeared without the afterburner. That was F118. These propelled B2...

The 100 units and more probably are OK. As we have the green light, a licenced production agreement needs to be signed for a given timescale, like we did with t700 and the Honeywell cts800 engines. Then we start manufacturing the engines within that time scale. Of course the two engines‘...

They have all solid fuel, all liquid fuel and hybrid ones too https://www.iranwatch.org/our-publications/weapon-program-background-report/table-irans-missile-arsenal

Turkiye has got the green light to licence produce f404 engines. However I think TEI are dragging their feet here. Because to set up an assembly line just to produce 100 engines may not be cost effective according to Mahmut Aksit. They want the top brass to give them the go ahead. US may stop...

If what you explain is the case; Do you approve that our country’s air defence system is controlled by foreign entities? Mainly by an Israeli-driven-US ? Why are we trying so hard to have our own air defence system, as when we finally have it, it can be used to stop an aerial attack on Greece...

Savunmasanayist and the below Xaccount say it crashed in Qamishli. That is close to 550 km to Dortyol where SM3 fell. SM3 has a max speed of around 8mach. It works on hit to kill. If it were an exo atmospheric interception, please explain to me how it came back by 550km, when what it hit fell...
