Last month Baykar and Roketsan carried out a test firing of a missile named Eren.
This is a very important turning point in slower UCAVs being used in air to air and air...
MK1 radar is produced by Hensoldt. It is tecnologically behind the LeonardoUK produced MK2 version. Especially on EW.
Typhoons that have MK0 can be retrofitted with MK2 fairly quickly.
It would be a different story for the MK1.
Upgrading from ECRS Mk0 to ECRS Mk2 is generally considered more...
If you check Roketsan’s site, Sea-Atmaca has a range of 250km and the Kara-Atmaca has a range of 280km.
There are no “more than“ or “+” signs that go with it.

If Baykar wants to stay as master of unmanned air vehicles they should concentrate on that subject and leave the engine technology to those who are masters of it. Otherwise they will be Jack of all trades but master of none.
They still haven’t mastered KE yet. There is so much they need to...
What makes you say that?
Are you comparing it to the picture that is on TEI’s website?
Only the people who design these nozzles would know if it is stealthy or not.
Yes , there are few specific points that we all know about, regarding what contributes to a good stealthy nozzle. There is IR...
It is not just with what, it is how concentrated and in abundance the defence systems would be too. Even Korkut like guns and CIWS would be effective on cruise missiles. Also point defence missiles potentially can add to the layered defences.
A city like tel Aviv has a metropolitan area of over...
Good point @Iskander !
But you have also to remember that those airfields on the ground have 10 times more layered and complex air defences than any city. To overcome those defences is not a simple task. To Shayrat, the US fired 59 Tomahawk missiles. According to Russian sources 23 hit their...

Turkish media is giving the same news as well.
A F35 jet has been shot by Iranian fire.
it is not clear what hit the plane and inspite of “being shot” how the plane managed to return and safely land.
No I am not.
Ballistic missile exo atmospheric interception, like US SM3 missiles have performed in the last few days, need a much longer detection range than our CAFRAD can provide. AN/TPY-2 radar in Kurecik has a detection range of 3000 km.
CAFRAD has a detection range of 600km. (Its...
BBC just gave the news that Israel claiming the Head of Iranian Security Forces ALİ Larijani has been assassinated.
In response, Iran has given out a letter supposedly written by Larijani.
This has become the new form of war now. Target the top Echelon of your Enemy’s command structure.
It is irrelevant now!

Nato allies have rejected Trump’s call for help in Hormuz.
Place them on the LHDs in side-baskets like Italians do. You don’t spend target practice platforms costing over billions to carry Siper missiles.
May be in time we will have more Tepe destroyers. But not now when we need to focus on our airforce.
Hopefully. They have already cut Steel.
I am almost on your team.
Since we have started building Tepe Class, there should be 2 of them in total. (Same with TCG Anadolu ; they should build TCG Trakya with an effective runway of 230metres operating arresting wires for KE and Anka-3).
In stead there should be 4 to 6 x 5000 ton...
Bro,
I am no naval engineer. But with little knowledge I have for sailing boats, I can say that downsizing Tepe like Milgem may not be possible.
Tepe Class has design measurements of:
149m length
21.3m width
5.75m draught
This gives it a tonnage of 8600tons. That width and draught gives it the...
Just check out the cost of Type 45 Daring Class destroyers of UK.
According to below report in 2016 ,each ship cost 1.2 billion dollars. With today’s dollar that is 1.7 billion dollars. It hasn’t got as many VLS as ours . Infact 48 cells only. Tepe will have 96 cells. Overall they are very...
