Exactly. When the push comes to shove they are going to drag their feet and won’t deliver the engines for a Light Combat Hurjet. Besides F404 is never going to be enough for a STOBAR operation. Either a F414 or a reconfigured EJ200 is probably the minimum requirement. Apart from that by the time...

You think a navalised Hurjet will not be a nightmare? Which is better; nightmarish but stealthy jet fighter or simple to manage but easily shot jet?

The US is Becoming Dependent on a Single Platform On the other hand, it is assessed that the Pentagon is also taking a significant structural risk with this transformation. The operational load, which was previously distributed among Harrier, Hornet, and other platforms, will become largely...

For a carrier based Hurjet it seems that they are looking at a plane with much bigger wing area. But this plane is not stealthy. US marines are giving up on the Super Hornet usage from their carriers. Going forward it will be just F35Cs and F35Bs as of post 2030. In the West, UK and Italy will...

They are not. True. But essentially it is a form of hybrid power generation system. However the diesel power is not used. It is only electric power that propels. So they may be partially correct not to call it hybrid. By using electric power you get many advantages. 1. Very high torque values...

I think this is very old news. The second ship is now in for MLU. The program is delayed by quite a few years. project started in 2018. TCG Oruc Reis docked in 2021. She joined the fleet in 2025. The total project was to finish by 2025-26. But only 1 ship is upgraded so far. And we are served...

I think you have got the wrong end of the stick here mate! Think of Electrodiesel engines used in train locomotives. You have a diesel generator that produces electricity. That electricity drives the motors at the wheels or tracks of the vehicle. When the vehicle is not using full power, then...

They showed us a glimpse of a missile with two technicians fitting it's cap. But nothing more since then. Until we see it fly and subjected to tests, it is no better than a myth. No one has mentioned it to have multi stages. But only 4 rocket motors on it’s rear end. And the site I shared...

It says single stage here: https://www.twz.com/nuclear/what-is-behind-turkeys-pursuit-of-an-icbm Nilüfer Kuzulu of MSB-ArGe has only mentioned that it has 4 rocket engines and is a 17.5 m long, 1.5m diameter rocket. She also says that TSK's repair and maintenance factories had a hand in making...

I am afraid you are grossly mistaken there. The difficulty level of building an ICBM is exponentially more difficult than building SRBMs which we have so far been building. Also it is claimed that Yildirimhan is supposed to be single stage. Currently there are no modern single stage liquid...

Their trainer is in serial production and in use with three airforces. Block 20 version that is being used for testing with KE, is a Light Combat version. It is still a question mark if we will have a LCA Hurjet during initial production runs. But before LCA Hurjet we need to build enough...

Let us look at them a little closer where it matters. F404 fan diameter : ~28inches TF6000 fan diameter : ~26 inches F404 length : 391cm TF10000 length : 315cm F404 weight : 1035kg TF6000 weight : ~400kg Just because TF6000 looks fatter because it has a higher bypass ratio than F404, doesn’t...

One thing we mustn’t overlook is the 56 piece order of Gokbey Navy has placed with Tusas. That means 120+ engines that are navalised as well as the helicopter it self. Also TS-1400 needs to be of military spec. Do we know if these parameters have been met.

We know from past experience how many they can produce in reality. check out T-129 production speed. Anka-S production speed. Kotil, when asked would tel you 2 per month. Let them aim for 4 per month. They may then manage 2 a month.

Before boasting about any new naval platforms, our navy should pressure Roketsan to integrate quad packing of hisar RF to our VLS like yesterday.

Bro, before you ask serious questions and expect to receive serious responses, you need to wind down the condescending nature of your posts of “you people” ! Most of the answers you seek are in the old posts in the related threads. US‘s GBU57 is a 0.8m diameter 13.5ton bomb with an explosive...

Until we see a GUCHAN engine on a test bench achieving the thrust level claimed (or close to it), many of us will be sceptical. I would love to hear what Dr Aksit's view on this engine is.

A first in the world? According to this a Sudanese Akinci shot down a UAE Akinci, with Eren missile.

Ardan Zenturk too is talking about the Guchan turbofan engine. He too is singing from the same hymn sheet!

Tolga Oztek has been drawn in to the MSB ArGe farce as well. We will see tomorrow morning what it is all about when the MOD himself holds a press conference regarding Yildirimhan, Guchan etc. Tolga Ozbek mentions it is a f110 size engine. Yet still says it has 42000lbf thrust. He more or less...
