If Baykar wants to stay as master of unmanned air vehicles they should concentrate on that subject and leave the engine technology to those who are masters of it. Otherwise they will be Jack of all trades but master of none. They still haven’t mastered KE yet. There is so much they need to...

What makes you say that? Are you comparing it to the picture that is on TEI’s website? Only the people who design these nozzles would know if it is stealthy or not. Yes , there are few specific points that we all know about, regarding what contributes to a good stealthy nozzle. There is IR...

It is not just with what, it is how concentrated and in abundance the defence systems would be too. Even Korkut like guns and CIWS would be effective on cruise missiles. Also point defence missiles potentially can add to the layered defences. A city like tel Aviv has a metropolitan area of over...

Good point @Iskander ! But you have also to remember that those airfields on the ground have 10 times more layered and complex air defences than any city. To overcome those defences is not a simple task. To Shayrat, the US fired 59 Tomahawk missiles. According to Russian sources 23 hit their...

https://www.defenceturk.net/iran-f-35-vurdu Turkish media is giving the same news as well. A F35 jet has been shot by Iranian fire. it is not clear what hit the plane and inspite of “being shot” how the plane managed to return and safely land.

Well spotted. But it still needs to be tested as a RATO capable drone to be accepted as one.

You know what; I actually counted his fingers and thumbs in both hands😂😂 He had 8 fingers and 2 thumbs.

I have just seen him on BBC telling the world Ali Larijani is killed

No I am not. Ballistic missile exo atmospheric interception, like US SM3 missiles have performed in the last few days, need a much longer detection range than our CAFRAD can provide. AN/TPY-2 radar in Kurecik has a detection range of 3000 km. CAFRAD has a detection range of 600km. (Its...

BBC just gave the news that Israel claiming the Head of Iranian Security Forces ALİ Larijani has been assassinated. In response, Iran has given out a letter supposedly written by Larijani. This has become the new form of war now. Target the top Echelon of your Enemy’s command structure.

It is irrelevant now! check out the latest news https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/iran-us-war-live-updates-trump-dubai-strait-of-hormuz-b2939098.html# Nato allies have rejected Trump’s call for help in Hormuz.

Place them on the LHDs in side-baskets like Italians do. You don’t spend target practice platforms costing over billions to carry Siper missiles. May be in time we will have more Tepe destroyers. But not now when we need to focus on our airforce. Hopefully. They have already cut Steel.

I am almost on your team. Since we have started building Tepe Class, there should be 2 of them in total. (Same with TCG Anadolu ; they should build TCG Trakya with an effective runway of 230metres operating arresting wires for KE and Anka-3). In stead there should be 4 to 6 x 5000 ton...

Bro, I am no naval engineer. But with little knowledge I have for sailing boats, I can say that downsizing Tepe like Milgem may not be possible. Tepe Class has design measurements of: 149m length 21.3m width 5.75m draught This gives it a tonnage of 8600tons. That width and draught gives it the...

Just check out the cost of Type 45 Daring Class destroyers of UK. According to below report in 2016 ,each ship cost 1.2 billion dollars. With today’s dollar that is 1.7 billion dollars. It hasn’t got as many VLS as ours . Infact 48 cells only. Tepe will have 96 cells. Overall they are very...

You are right. it is aselsan’s kit. the munition is probably MKE Mk 82 dumb bomb. Not roketsan! So it is up to Aselsan to sort it out.

My topic was laser guidance in general, not specific missile type. Laser guidance was invented by Texas Instruments in the 1960’s, to give pin point precision to guided munitions. It gives immunity from EW. It is ideal for hitting moving targets. The modern laser targeting uses pulse coded...

Pls watch @Soldier30 ’s post #2524 below to see US laser guided missile accuracy.

Compared to US laser targeted missiles and even MAM-L firings, this is a poor shot. Baykar needs to address this deficiency. On top of it this was a shot on a stationary target. Laser guidance normally is good for moving targets.
