Very well put. But one thing you omitted, I might gather was probably by accident, was the very fact that we were given a genius to lead us in the name of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk through our “Kurtulusş Savaşı”. As mentioned by British Prime Minister Lloyd George in the Parliament when defending...

There is no information anywhere that this is a MPAC. It is classed as FAC. But it is definitely bigger than originally thought. Its flat under belly and shorter draught allows it to be operational at shallow water. Due to its design and size it will be able to fire weapons in seas with a wave...

If we are to go by recent system of manufacturing ships; provided there is an urgency for their production, a major company will give a general tender for all ships and the production will be divided between 2 or 3 shipyards. (Similar to İstif Class Frigates and Hisar class OPVs) Expected to...

Bro, this ship is something between a full fledged FAC and a light Corvette. It is 700 tons and 68 metres long. It has a top speed of 39 knots and cruising speed of 20 knots which gives it 800 nautical miles range. Due to it’s length, weight and design it is more sea worthy than other FACs it...

You are correct. Mahmut Akşit said that few times. Twin engined Hurjet will give a total of 12000lbf + dry thrust and 20000lbf+ wet thrust to Hurjet. If they made it a single seater with a stealthy body it could be a very capable fighter jet. Especially if they pushed the engine output towards...

If there are any left to clean up bro! If you notice this test was done with the test platform‘s bottom parts’ sides open. And how devastating that was. In real life, inside concrete tunnels or totally enclosed spaces, the explosive force is going to be more destructive. An explosion in a...

Tolun P is not a simple bunker buster bomb. In fact as bunker busting goes it is not as capable as its bigger brothers like KGK kitted (not sure if they have already done the NEB versions. But there was intention and program to do it) MK83 and MK84 class munitions. Most bunkers are many metres...

Anyone who thinks like your first paragraph needs to have his intelligence questioned. No! But all things being equal you would get a bigger aperture with more modules. Because: The aperture of an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar is the physical surface area of the antenna...

Bro that bold statement is not entirely correct and a bit self contradictory. I think you meant something slightly different. Can you please open it up a bit? I am no Radar specialist. But according to my logic and according to Aesa radar 101 theory; Increasing the number of Transmit/Receive...

Turkish coast guard (approximately 5500 personnel) used to be part of the Turkish navy. But through some inexplicable idea this administration has separated it and made it part of ministry of interior. (Similar to gendarmerie). Navy has a personnel of around 48600. The navy and coast guard are...

That actually means Turkiye Cumhuriyeti Gemisi (Turkish Republic Ship) But my good friend @Saithan may have meant the coast guard. There are admirals in Turkish Coast Guard too. In fact, vice admiral (3*), rear admiral (2*) and lower rear admiral (1*) ranks are filled by coast guard naval...

Bro, first of all, not all Turkish naval ships are old. By 2028-2030 we will have fairly new 4 Milgem corvettes and around 4-6 Milgem size OPVs and 8 İstif Class frigates. Also 4 Barbaros Class frigates will be like new after their MLUs. Anadolu is new. So will Kocatepe destroyer be before 30’s...

@Nutuk bro, you are logically correct in your line of thought. But there are more variables here than a straightforward 2x2=4. First of all, Hurjet as it is can never be anything more than a trainer. It may be used by some small country as a LCA. But for a country like Turkiye to even...

I am not a fan of JDAM to be honest. A range of 28km means you have to bring your fighter jets in to enemy AD areas to deploy them, unless you release them from IWBs of KE or Anka-3. Since we will have access to relevant source codesl we can easily integrate HGK and KGK MK series smart bombs on...

@uçuyorum & @Nutuk , Both of you are correct from your own points of view. Kaan fighter still needs a lot of steps and hurdles to go through. If Kaan is delayed or the US messes up with engine deliveries, then Typhoon is going to be a real gap stopper. In fact a further 20 to 40 more units...

Yapmadan önce, evet. yaptıktan sonra, hayır. Askerlik bir çok kişiye emir almayı öğretir. Emir komuta zincirini öğretir. Disiplini öğretir. Zor şartlarda yaşamayı ve ölmeden öldürme sanatını öğretir. Mantığın bittiği yerde askerliğin başladığını anlarsınız. Ama bilhassa genç nesil için faydalı...

Re @Pokemonte13 I think he means because tolun spends more time in the air gliding the effect shouldn't be the same compared to teber which falls directly and has less time to correct its heading. I think its not necessary because of the iwb guided munition do not always hit their marks we have...

Aselsan's site says: TOLUN-P TOLUN P is a INS/GNSS guided gliding all up round ready 250 lb. weapon system carried on Smart Pneumatic Quad Rack (SPQR) (SADAK-4T) https://cdn.aselsan.com/aselsanweb-prod/documents/capabilities/products/brochure/tolun-p/tolun-p-en.pdf You should get your facts...

Bro, Afghanistan war was far too long. Without any clawing back funds available, it probably cost the US most. Iraqi wars have been very costly. First one they charged it to the Saudis and Gulf countries (plus it served them so well that at the end of it Japanese economy collapsed and German...

Yes, IWB releasing smart munitions, their accuracy can be adversely affected by : Severe cavity aeroacoustics, Unsteady shear-layer turbulence, and High-pressure oscillations. Lighter smart weapons are particularly sensitive to these dynamic forces . As they are leaving there is a danger of...
