If I am not mistaken, the Hydra 70 missiles are built as non-guided. The APKWS2 upgrade adds wings and laser guidance to make it precision strike weapon. Also the LAU release mechanism can accommodate 6, 7 or 19 of them. When EF is set up, it is set to handle the 7 tube launchers for the...

You are correct re prices. That is why I edited my post. But nevertheless if we are able to integrate Cirit on to F16s, the cost to us, should be substantially lower than the current quoted Cirit price to foreign customers. Currently It is estimated to be around 25000 dollars a piece.

Bro have you checked how much a 70mm hydra class missile is in UK? Plus how much UK is going to charge you for that missile? Plus they buy the missiles from US. UK MOD paid over40000 dollars a piece for them 3 years ago (31.2 million dollars for 768 missiles) Our Cirit costs 19000 dollars. The...

Tolga Ozbek needs to be congratulated for having the perseverance to listen to that guy. He is like a machine gun throwing words at you. The info he gave of the Ramjet Engine was rather vague. It was fired to prove that land launching is doable for such a rocket. But whether the engine was...

Think of it that a Ramjet is like a turbojet Engine. There is no bypassed air thrust involved. What is burned in the combustion chamber is exhausted out from the nozzle as total thrust. Except, It just doesn’t have any moving parts inside like compressor blades or turbines. It is an air...

Turksat Satellites are geosynchronous satellites. Their orbit is ~35700km to 35800km above earth. Delta-V just managed 210km altitude for 50kg payload. Roketsan is still working on a rocket to go 400km. How and who are going to manage placing a 4.5 ton satellite at 35780km altitude? Turksat...

Check out 12th second. Booster section separates from the missile. Atmaca has a solid fuelled booster engine for initial launch. Once the missile reaches necessary speed it is dropped. You can clearly see separation of the booster. As it has forward momentum it falls quite a bit further in to...

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...
