Actually, @mehmed beg has a valid point. If Australia is going for a nuclear submarine programme, why shouldn’t Canada do the same? But Australians have done the right thing and gone for AUKUS submarines. These are the next generation to the well known Astute subs Royal Navy uses. Royal Navy is...

That is 211km from Cesme

Akıncı can not be mixed with fighter/bomber jets. It is slow and sluggish. When laden it can’t go high enough either. We were lucky with our Stand off jammers/Koral EW systems in Spring Shield operation. Russian ground AD assets could not break our jamming. But now they are much better at it in...

Well over 50 MQ9 Reaper drones have been shot down during Iran and Yemen war. Iran alone is presumed to have brought down nearly 20% of US MQ9 inventory. This is what happens when you push a drone that is slow and incapable of defending itself in to enemy territory. Same would be the result...

Of course not. But they may have produced a prototype to fire for testing. (They had promised us a first firing of TF35K in 2026 quite sometime ago). Both TF6K/10K were slightly ahead of TF35K and all three were to be developed concurrently. But I agree with @Merzifonlu ’s suggestion about...

The German F126 frigate program has not been officially cancelled, but it is "foreseeably delayed" and facing severe industrial restructuring. Plagued by chronic software and IT integration issues with the lead contractor, Dutch-based Damen Naval, the German Ministry of Defence (MoD) has...

https://www.afyonpostasi.com.tr/akude-savunma-sanayii-konferansi-kaan-motoru-yuksek-irtifada-f-16yi-ikiye-katliyor Prof Akşit has made a statement that the new TF35000 engine is producing 80% more thrust at high altitude when compared to a F110 engine. Well, at say 50000ft altitude, f110...

As you have rightly put your finger on, the real reason the frigates are delayed have got a lot to do with design issues. These were to be large 6400ton ASW frigates. But the start of new delivery timeline has now been set as 2034. Plus the original 600million Euro price per ship has increased...

If a plane is designed and manufactured by a country, then that country has the right to claim ownership. Gripen is Swedish. KF21 is S Korean They both have many foreign parts used in their construction. But that does not detract from the fact that both are products of the relative countries...

Forget about other 5th gen fighter jets. Let us look at our own: If Avionot source is to be believed, the first flight of the P1 Kaan has been postponed to 30th August 2026. If true, that is like taking the piss with all defence industry followers. Anybody out there that can contradict and...

Y I am afraid it doesn’t work as you think. For turbofan engines : Bypassed air contribute to the thrust as well. The cold air going round the core of engine and thrown out of the nozzle together with the hot air coming from the core BOTH contribute to total thrust. As Dr Akşit mentioned, 40%...

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...
