According to the below article, the Hensoldt produced (ECRSMK1) E-Captor Aesa radar used on the Typhoon has 1626 T/R modules. (They have counted the modules from a HD picture). The radome of the Typhoon can accommodate even more. Unconfirmed information on various media say the ECRSMK0 had...

Bro, of those 70 shipyards, how many can build 6 to 7 ton frigates? More importantly how many have got the expertise and approval to build ships to NATO standards? Please see my below post #1644 https://defencehub.live/threads/navy-news-discussions.155/page-83#post-384270

Bro if you dig deep, it is a BS news piece. Totally made up out of thin air. You need to look at the specifics of the two planes. Chinese plane which is a copy of Israeli Lavi, is greatly outclassed by the Typhoon in terms of raw power, agility, speed and MTOW. Radar wise , although not...

You can see the pif paf working and directing the missile to its intended direction. This is a very interesting missile. It has a globular nose. Yet supersonic or hypersonic missiles are supposed to have a pointed nose. This is a missile that is presumed to have a “scramjet” engine for...

@Zafer , why try to prove a point that is a non starter. Please take the logical route. Why do jet fighters, especially those operating from a carrier, do not use reverse thrusters? 1. Weight is prime asset on a carrier based jet. Reverse thrusters weigh a lot. 2. Jet fighters need to be...

You don’t need Wikipedia to know the necessity and when the of reverse thrusters on passenger planes are used as they land. Even on large jet liners, on dry and long runways it is preferred NOT to use reverse thrusters due to heavy engine wear. But on short and wet runways it is preferable to...

One point that has not been stressed on is the fact that all parts of the engine will have to be navalised. As sea air is sucked in to the engine most parts inside the engine will be subjected to salty water vapour. Another point that comes to mind is the use of TF10000 for Anka-3 too. if...

We need to ask ourselves ; why thrust reversers are not used on any fighter jets? Only tornado and viggen has utilised it to date with some success. Most important parameter for a fighter jet is weight control. To have a really heavy thrust reverser mechanism that you will only use for 30...

Sorry to be nitpicking again. But additional compressor stages will not increase thrust. It will increase overall pressure ratio and help lower fuel consumption and give better efficiency also with lower sound levels. But in turn it makes it more complex, increasing aerodynamic losses...

Bro, There lies the contradiction in highlighted wording. F404 has a fan diameter of 27inches. F404 has a fan diameter of 32inches. This larger fan pushes so much more air through the core that the overall dry thrust is increased from 11000lbf to 14000lbf. Consequently F404’s TIT is 1390degrees...

A very detailed study and well presented article on Hurjet - Mugem subject. There are however many presumptions that are open to arguments though. Just as an example, If we look at above paragraph, it takes a lot of assumptions regarding engine performance and conveniently omits the reason...

I have a feeling, Atak helicopter comes as a package with Honeywell engine being a contractual part of that package. If Tusas is to sell a light attack helicopter, it may have to produce the T-629?? like below...

Please stay on topic and be civil with each other.

You must have had temporary brain freeze mate. Unless you were joking😂 Umtas GM block 1 16km range fired from land, 20km fired from air; and Block 2 ; 50km fired from air, 32km from land platforms. https://turkiyedefenceindustry.quora.com/ROKETSAN-NEW-UMTAS-GM-long-range-anti-tank-missile

Tusas KahramanKazan facilities are in Saray, on the left corner of above map. Out in the sticks, and away from major towns. Also just south of Saray, towards bottom where the air museum is, there is Etimesgut airport. To the right top is the Ankara Esenboga International airport. Flight path of...

Regarding this 42000lbf thrust GUCHAN palaver: Let us look at what the most prominent factors are in a Turbofan that matters related to higher thrust. Basically and most commonly you can increase thrust of a turbofan engine by: 1. increasing airflow. a) To do that yo can increase rotational...

Please don’t go a miss that ; Extension of length by a meter automatically increases the wing area by a good amount which is the real parameter that matters when it comes to “lift”. Coarsely calculated it should be 18-20% increase in wing area.

More importantly it should have bigger IWB to accommodate larger missiles like Som-j. The larger wing area together with the prospective higher output thrust from TF6000 will give higher performance to the plane and the indigenous engine’s inherent stealthy structure would help with the low...

No I don’t have the “burden of proof” when this issue was discussed here many times. You need to read what is written a bit more carefully. The sine wave illustration is a generic one. Not necessarily belonging to Tayfun. This missile has to evade ground air defence systems. In order to do this...

1. Chat GPT is not allowed in this forum. 2. If you listened to the official statements you would know that Tayfun had a suppressed trajectory. 3. The graph is a generic one to illustrate a typical suppressed trajectory. 4. Before accusing people with providing wrong information, I suggest you...
