https://www.donanimhaber.com/bayraktar-kizilelma-icin-yerli-motor-mujdesi--178638 This is the gist of the KE news, being discussed here. The date may be current and fresh; but the content appears to be outdated and somewhat open to argument and logically suspect. KE has not gone beyond...

https://m5dergi.com/one-cikan/abd-israile-18-milyar-dolarlik-f-15-satisini-onayladi/ According to M5dergi of Turkey, US has removed all stops regarding 18 billion dollar deal of 50 units of F15 sale to Israeli Airforce. That means 360 million dollars a piece. That is a lot especially when you...

Anka 3 is a flying wing. Theoretically with powerful enough engines it can achieve supersonic. But from engineering point of view, supersonic flying wings with such thin wings, will not be feasible. The only way to make a flying wing supersonic is a bi-directional flying wing as per NASA’s...

By definition a “smart bomb” is a precision guided bomb that falls on it’s target solely with force of gravity. A 2000 lb MK84 bomb carries 429kg of Tritonal (20% Aluminium 80% TNT) high explosives. Any other munition that can deliver that amount of explosives with precision guidance are either...

https://www.defenceturk.net/tskya-t-70-helikopteri-teslimati A number of T70 Blackhawk helicopters have been delivered to various units of TURKISH armed Forces. This includes deliveries to Land Forces and Gendarmerie. One statement in above news piece is interesting that for the next 10 years...

https://sanayigazetesi.com.tr/turkiyenin-f-16-blok-70-ucaklarini-teslim-alacagi-tarih-aciklandi/ According to this news piece, LM official in charge has stated that subject to immediate signing of the order, the 40 V 70 F16 planes for TurAF will start to be delivered in mid 2027. So it is vital...

Satellite launching business is mega profit business. Where as half a ton being launched may be worth under 15 million dollars; A large load like 20 tons may be worth around 200 million dollars. In 2012 Boeing managed to generate 32billion dollars revenues for 17 launches. That is worth 44...

Below should shed some light : Quote A multistatic radar system contains multiple spatially diverse monostatic radar or bistatic radar components with a shared area of coverage. An important distinction of systems based on these individual radar geometries is the added requirement for some...

I am no radar specialist. My electromagnetic radiation knowledge doesn’t go further than second year University electronics and electric exam papers. But it sure does sound like along those lines. As far as I can understand from what I am reading and hearing, this is a radar system that will...

Knowing our military’s stance about giving specifics and how economical they are with truth and secretive about all military matters , I would say no! However that is a defiant and challenging statement to all relevant parties.

Multiple Systems working as a single system makes the invisible, visible. Words uttered At around 1minute 10 sec and onwards; This statement is the heart of this EIRS radar news piece. A conglomeration of AESA radars working as one and making the invisible, visible. I would like to know if that...

No @Barry ! Yes it is a thread about the helicopter accident. But discussion still within context. So let us be careful about staying on topic and make sure the discussion is not veered away from the thread title content.

You need to read up on aerodynamic mechanics regarding thrust vectoring before you can make claims about TVC’s pros and cons. For a fighter jet airspeed is life. If as a pilot you have lost great deal of your airspeed you are most vulnerable. Apart from the danger of stalling , to be able to...

@Fuzuli NL bro, You know very well why your post was deleted. You have been at this game long enough to know very well to stay on topic. If someone starts derailing TFX-Kaan thread by making it a discussion platform of foreign anti Turkish sentiment, and you dovetail on it then those posts are...

They spent enough funds on that stealth f22 nozzle set up and materials science, to build a new plane from scratch. It is still at the end of the day a compromise. In real life, thrust vectoring allows for a lower deflection of the aerodynamic control surfaces so reducing drag and increasing...

All this talk about getting a certain number of Hürjet in Light Attack format and some operating from an Aircraft Carrier is somewhat long winded wishful thinking to my ears. It sounds nice but will it ever materialise? Hurjet project primarily is a trainer aircraft project. If we want to turn...

One important aerodynamic reality that needs to be remembered is: Larger wings move more air, so a bird or plane with a large wing area relative to its mass (low wing loading) will have more lift at any given speed. Therefore, a plane with lower wing loading will be able to take off and land at...

Your guess is as good as mine. But reading between the lines it has something to do with a high end jet fighter engine tech using AI. @Nilgiri has given his views on it. I concur with what he says. There are many articles and YouTube news channels that claim that TF35K is in production. One of...
