Would China fight Russia head on? NO!! Two nuclear powers will never do. NATO is a nuclear power. They will use proxies. When it is Non nuclear countries they are attacking , then yes they will.

Exactly! There is hardly any significant benefit over Aksungur to have Akinci with piston engines. This is a drone specifically designed to operate at high altitudes with powerful turboprop engines carrying over 1300kg of payload. (That is why Selcuk Bayraktar was looking for 1000hp engines for...

The last point in your post is a bit confusing. We have been waiting all this time for Ozgur modernisation because the Aselsan Aesa radar was not ready. Now it is suggested that the Murad radar is going through integration process and tests , means that the radar is almost ready to be...

Well I took these pictures from the video. There are a number of different angled shots. Having watched it again there isn’t a shot that corresponds to a near horizontal firing. So these may be different shots hitting the target that do not correspond with actual firing angles. How do you come...

I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. My mistake for not explaining it clearly. Got too carried away. Only the 35 units of Block 30 planes have better airframes. This is not part of Ozgur project. We are not upgrading the airframe of the other blocks. These 35 planes , although the...

OK thanks ! 1. Lifespan upgrade is not part of the Ozgur. They were for Block 30 only. Ozgur is for all aircrafts. 2. New avionics and cockpit system are definitely part of Ozgur. 3. The new helmet too is part of Ozgur. Although CCIP upgrade gave some form of Helmet cueing capability, Aselsan...

On paper and with respect to current missile technology you are correct. But the proposed radar system of Siper will be far ahead of the S400 radar system. It is also a system that is open to upgrades. Siper geometry is open to evolving. There will be versions of it with more range. Same system...

Can you please open the question a bit more and explain what you mean about “package”? ps I guess you meant, “except“ the Aesa radar?

I concur too. 1. With GaN based Aesa modules that are around 5-8 times more powerful than GaAs modules used in V70 radars, our radar should be far ahead of the An-Apg83 radar that is on the F16-V70 planes. (As the nose area of the planes are the same, similar number of modules will be fitted to...

The picture you have and the below firing angles don’t match. I haven’t measured. But one looks like 60-70 degrees another around 40 degrees. You do not fire at these elevations to hit a target at 3km. Also these are projectiles. Hence would follow a trajectory that would be more accute.

Those are VERY accurate shots. What is the range? Do we know? Also I wonder if some form of correction kit were used? https://www.roketsan.com.tr/en/products/105155-mm-howitzer-range-correction-kit

How are you going to sweeten the deal for UK and RR to help you out with engine tech? You need to give them something in return. Partial involvement in your MMU engines and 80 Typhoons with nearly 200 potential engines could be the carrot ??? Just a thought! It would also sort out the half a...

Please stay on topic of TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

How about the French flag ? French involvement? EU flag?

RAF inventory of 50+ Tranche 1 are of no use to us as they can not be upgraded to tranche 3 or 4 as discussed here before. But to tranche 2.5 at best and without Aesa radars. Without Aesa radars these planes can’t be a match for Rafales.

OK! Here comes the devil’s advocate: 1. Is it really true or just a fake news like many we have seen? 2. If it is true; Will Germany agree to supplying some of the critical parts of the engine and the plane, or agree to TOT of critical parts to Turkey? 3. If Germany doesn’t comply like the Saudi...

For a company that has never manufactured a fully operational jet engine from scratch up until now, do you really think that they can turn ts1400, with a correct transmission in to a working, flying turboprop Under 2-3 years with all the whistles attached? Even a PD-222 that was just a small...

It sure is. This is the news I have been waiting for. This also means Aesa radar test results are probably promising enough to warrant the pressing the start button on Ozgur. (somebody must have been reading about all my whining and complaining with respect to Ozgur being delayed etc. and...

We haven’t even got ts1400 ready for Gokbey yet. You are talking about a turboprop version. Yes. It should be developed. But for long term. By the time TEI gets round to making it, testing it, then integrating it, it will be 2-3 years at best, before serial production can start. In reality it...

Correct! also Rolls Royce/Honeywell TPE-331 turboprop family can provide 550-1650HP power for any type of propeller driven plane.
