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...

As I tried to explain in my previous posts, going over 1000km range with a quasi ballistic missile is a difficult task to achieve. As far as we have been told by officials, Tayfun missiles have a Quasi ballistic Trajectory. It means they all fly within atmosphere using a suppressed trajectory...

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...
