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...

One thing we mustn’t overlook is the 56 piece order of Gokbey Navy has placed with Tusas. That means 120+ engines that are navalised as well as the helicopter it self. Also TS-1400 needs to be of military spec. Do we know if these parameters have been met.

We know from past experience how many they can produce in reality. check out T-129 production speed. Anka-S production speed. Kotil, when asked would tel you 2 per month. Let them aim for 4 per month. They may then manage 2 a month.

Before boasting about any new naval platforms, our navy should pressure Roketsan to integrate quad packing of hisar RF to our VLS like yesterday.

Bro, before you ask serious questions and expect to receive serious responses, you need to wind down the condescending nature of your posts of “you people” ! Most of the answers you seek are in the old posts in the related threads. US‘s GBU57 is a 0.8m diameter 13.5ton bomb with an explosive...

Until we see a GUCHAN engine on a test bench achieving the thrust level claimed (or close to it), many of us will be sceptical. I would love to hear what Dr Aksit's view on this engine is.

A first in the world? According to this a Sudanese Akinci shot down a UAE Akinci, with Eren missile.

Ardan Zenturk too is talking about the Guchan turbofan engine. He too is singing from the same hymn sheet!

Tolga Oztek has been drawn in to the MSB ArGe farce as well. We will see tomorrow morning what it is all about when the MOD himself holds a press conference regarding Yildirimhan, Guchan etc. Tolga Ozbek mentions it is a f110 size engine. Yet still says it has 42000lbf thrust. He more or less...

See my post #179 in previous page pls. Terminal impacts velocity on earth is governed by the related formula. smaller the silhouette and drag coefficient of the missile and the bigger the mass of the missile; then the bigger is the terminal impact speed as dictated by the formula.

Yes. Only possible way to stop them is during boost and coasting phase. Otherwise it is almost impossible.

No. Not correct. Because the example distance is too short. If a person sky dives from 30000m or 5000m , he will hit the ground always at the same speed. Depending on whether he is head down or flat position, that terminal speed is anything between 180km/hour to 250km/hour. If he hold his...

Yes. They almost always deplete their fuel. They have high speed depending on their weight and their cross section area. All the fuel is usually burnt during boost phase. Then missiles coast. Then start their terminal downward motion. Here is a bit of background info: Solid-Fueled Missiles...

Not quite right explanation I am afraid. As per @Zafer has stated, the bigger the mass at terminal stage the faster the missile hits it’s target If you check the terminal velocity formula: The cross section of the missile is important too. More perpendicular the missile approaches the better...

For a missile to be usable from a jet fighter, first of all the missile’s aerodynamics and overall design has to be suitable for use in a jet fighter. In short it needs to be integrated. Atmaca is built for surface to surface use. But Roketsan is still in the process of integrating it to F16. It...

Bro, I don’t think there is even an air launched version of Atmaca missile. If however it were air launched without a booster it can have a good deal more range than the surface launched version. But as it is going to travel Hi-Low-Low due to Sea skimming flight envelope, it’s range advantage...

No engine maker can make all the parts themselves. Subcontractors will produce certain parts as per the instruction they have received from TEI. TRMotor being the IP rights holder was probably signing contract with the subsystem producers (subcontractor)
