It looks like Siper Block-1 will enter TSK inventory at the beginning of 2023.
There have been a lot of interest for Siper from abroad as well.
Apparently Aselsan, Roketsan and Tubitak-Sage trio have been...
The formula for distance of horizon is:
d=~√2hR
d= distance
h= height of your eyes
R= radius of Earth
for ease of calculation we can simplify it to
d=~ 3.57√h
So if your eyes are at 100m above sea level then the horizon is at 35.7km away.
Hoewver radar horizon is a little bit further:
d=~4.12 √h...

Please refrain from name calling and personal attacks. All members are free to think and express their views freely as long as they are within forum rules. Those do not agree can do the same within same constraints.
Dogfights with LOS communications are possible with drones like KE. Ground pilots can execute far shaper and dangerous g-turns than manned planes, without endangering themselves. They can easily fight off and chase away illegal airspace incursions by enemy aircrafts.
Beyond LOS engagements AI...
Iskander-M missile is great on paper. Russians may have blown it out of proportion a bit though. They say it is a hypersonic missile. But it is hypersonic only for a while, depending on how aerodynamic and heavy it is at terminal phase. We saw how well they hit their targets. Albeit an export...
What you write here is somehow not relevant anymore. Because all phase-1 t-129 helicopters are in the process of being upgraded to phase-2 anyway. This includes the first 9 EDH helicopters that came in right at the beginning and the 42 locally produced ones...

It has RAM paint on it,
1.5 ton payload,
No problems with Ukrainian engine supply,
Fast and agile and can do air to air combat,
Both the one on show and the one in factory are real prototypes
A lot of ammo will be carried inside. Stealth is a priority for KE
Engine integration is currently going on
Just because the bypass ratio of TF-6000 is 1.08 and not 0.5 doesn‘t make it high bypass ratio engine. Yes it has more air going around the engine than similarly powered military jet engines. But it is still low bypass. In order to qualify as a high bypass engine ratio, the ratio needs to be in...
Bora 2 is definitely there somewhere as mentioned by one of the ministers around 4 years ago. But it is a strategic tactical weapon.
It is a game changer weapon. It is a weapon you do not advertise too much about.
If one has to speculate, it must be around 500km range missile with at least 500kg...
Re: GaN based Aesa radars
Saab offers Gripen E with GaN based Aesa radar. Same is offered to those who wish to upgrade the radar on Gripen C. Current Raven Radar has GaAs modules. But they have integrated the GaN based radar to the plane for customers who will go for it...
This company not only produces 20mm to 40mm cannons for ground forces; But they also produce cannons for air platforms. (They have capacity to produce 12.7mm to 105mm barrels.)
So the long awaited 30mm cannon for Atak-2 is coming!
Although there were rumours that TFX would not have a cannon on...
Yes. He says so far they have produced over 400 TB2s. They have a current yearly capacity of 200 TB2 . But next year they are planning to manufacture 500 TB2s and 40 Akincis.
