Quite likely it is only a mock-up and only a project on paper. It could well be another hard moon hit project. It is not clear what they intend to do with it. If not carrying a nuclear bomb it is a total waste of money and resources. At 50-100 million dollar a piece (Even the Indian Agni 5 is...

A good forum is where all views are discussed no matter how controversial it may seem to you. Important point is to convey your views across, without stepping over the line and disobeying the forum rules. We have members here that are very controversial and in fact are enemies of sort when it...

The Uttam AESA radar utilizes roughly 900–992 Gallium Nitride modules. This is a number optimised specifically for the limited nose cone space and power availability of the Tejas MK1A. That is still a very good number of modules. Module count alone is not the defining factor. It is how the...

All sources quote “unconfirmed” figures. Unless a person is working at Aselsan on BURFIS or he is the GM of Tusas or President of SSB, no one can truly tell you the exact number. All unconfirmed sources state “thousands” of modules for BURFIS. Also almost 2000 modules for MURAD-600A and...

It is not a matter of whether we can defeat Greek Navy or not. When it comes to showing force and posturing there is nothing much we have that can match those modern naval platforms. I-Class is a great little frigate. But is not in the same caliber as a Bergamini Class ship. Just as an example...

Yes, Transmit/Receive Modules (TRMs) are gradually getting smaller and more efficient, as well as being lighter. This is allowing for a greater number of them to be packed into the nose cone of an aircraft. This evolution is due to advancements in semiconductor technology, and usage of Gallium...

Most of the information you are asking are classified. But… According to “Turkish Century” site, on each cheek of the plane it will have in excess of 2000 GaN based T/R modules. However this may be wrong translation of an official’s speech as some officials had mentioned a total of 4000+...

Let us get few facts that are not mentioned here : 1. UAV122 is a ballistic missile. It actually loses a lot of it’s speed as it approaches it‘s target. It should hit the target at a speed between 0.6 to 0.9 Mach depending on its angle of attack. But due to initial high speed and its small size...

If you have no other means of downing drones, then OK. At 60-65000dollar per hour (remember with extra tanks and refuelling, a typhoon can fly 9-10 hours) . That is well over 600thousand dollars, plus cost of munition, spent to shoot down slow moving cheap drones. If you have your UCAVs like...

I doubt it. Not same kind. But similar may be. TVC applied to the EJ200 engine by ITP Aero was 3D form. F22 has a 2D form TVC made from all the exotic materials you can think about. The F119-PW-100 engine for the F-22 Raptor, which includes its unique two-dimensional pitch thrust-vectoring...

If we have free rein over integrating our own munitions on to Typhoons, then the Cirit missiles will do the same job for us. (Using multiple Sadak accessories) That cost given in the above article, doesn’t mention if it includes the actual hourly flight cost of a Typhoon jet fighter.

Yes they could if they have retained the know how attained during their RR cooperation. Rolls Royce owned 45%of ITP Aero at that time. Then in 2022 they sold their share to a private equity company. Yet ITP Aero still remains as a major supplier to RR. But there is no such thing as a free meal...

A year ago German Chancellor Merz stated : "Turkey is an extremely important NATO partner for us. I will do everything I can to maintain and further strengthen Turkey-NATO relations. I will accept President Erdoğan's invitation to visit him in the near future." A year later EU Commisdion...

Dear members, please refrain from arbitrary generalisation about each nation and their affinity for one race/nationality or another. What state politics dictate and what individuals dictate could be quite different. Personal experiences do not mean you can use them for generalisation...

According to unconfirmed news it is claimed that a version of Hurjet is being considered to be used in the MUGEM aircraft carrier to be built during the course of next decade or so. Since Spain is buying Hurjet trainers, and the Spanish company ITP Aero had developed a TVC version of the EJ200...

That is why we and most Western engine manufacturers use single crystal turbine blades. They last longer. Because the creep degradation sets in much slower. But the high inlet temperature is not only specific to engines employing single crystal blades. Yet It is easier to attain higher TIT...

These are arbitrary numbers. It all depends on how well your cooling processes are applied and how good your ceramic coating is. Russian AL41 class engines use Directionally Solidified blades (NOT single crystal) but achieve a TIT of 1645+ degrees Celsius. Even as high as 1700 degrees Celsius is...
