There is no way that first engine cost TEI 5million dollars. The amount of engineer-hours spent on computers to design it in virtual world then the time and effort of tens if not hundreds of technicians is not cheap. Just look at how long TR-Motor has been designing and developing the KAAN motor...

Bro, it all depends on where it is being developed, and how much foreign input has been used. According to unconfirmed estimates an engine like TF6000 should cost best part of 2 billion dollars when developed in Western countries. Having said that; According to again, unconfirmed estimates...

Yes Bro, you like me, have missed that. It was discussed here: https://defencehub.live/threads/uav-ucav-programs-anka-series-k%C4%B1z%C4%B1lelma-tb-series.6/page-676#post-370147

I am no radar expert. My radar knowledge is somewhat rudimentary. An expert on radars may explain it better. Somebody here had mentioned @Nutuk ?? Also @TheInsider seems to be well versed on radars. What I know is that almost all radars work with Pulse-Doppler Shifting. Radars send a pulse to...

Bro, EW/ECM will probably not be needed as ECRS-MK2 Aesa radar comes with the latest version of these. But should the need arise having developed similar systems for KAAN will allow us to integrate a version of it to this plane and it shouldn’t really take that long. We don’t need to discover...

IFF, EW/ECM and local munitions integration can be done very quickly if the sort codes are accessed. But if UK will sell the ECRS-MK2 radar with the planes only local IFF system and munitions need to be integrated. Extensive maintenance and repair shop system can be set up within a year whilst...

What do you mean NO? https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_110496.htm Article 5 “The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack...

One last thing to add: This is the most important fact. Turkiye has the second largest army of NATO. It means we are one of the most important parts of NATO. If Israel were to attack Türkiye militarily in any form or shape, NATO would have to respond and help Türkiye defend herself. That...

Everything you say is 100% correct on the face of it. But most of what you are saying and what we all believe about Israeli capabilities are in fact US military capabilities wrapped up in a different package. At the heart of Israeli/US success over the latest Iran air campaign lies the reality...

That is a Ukranian defence news site making these allegations. It doesn’t give any indication of the “source” of such news. Including a similar Turkish site, there are a number of other foreign sites that make the same news too. But none of them give the source of the news. It looks like...

Why put such a potent and expensive air defence system in close proximity of your enemy’s effective weapon range? S400 can still do its job from Mersin or Hatay. What we need to position in Cyprus are, stealthy Kargi loitering munition type bombs and FPVs that can take out those missile sites.

SAMs can be used against surface targets. If the missiles were already configured for that purpose - like SM6 - then no problem. But in general they may need reconfiguration (like in Ukraine where S-200 missiles have been reconfigured and re purposed to hit ground targets) . Some SAMs may have...

If you listen to his interview at IDEF he clearly says that it flies at hypersonic speeds and also hits the target above 5 Mach.

A lot of waffle without saying too much. Some important bulletpoints. But nothing new. Most important question still not asked: How do you manage to hit target at more than 5Mach speed with Tayfun block-4?

Instead of blaming mods why not use the report button? Mods, although try to read most posts, may and will miss a number of posts. It is also up to our good members to keep the forum clean and correct by pressing report button instead of complaining. We are here a community after all, that try...

Most countries, like us and India are under pressure from US about dealings with Russia. (China is also amongst the countries being pressurised) As Russia is one of 3 countries subject to CAATSA sanctionable list, we are probably trying to cut our dependency on energy and also please US during...

Yes. I believe the version on Atak 2 doesn’t even have FADEC, even though it should.

The only 3000HP class engine produced by RR was Turbomecha RTM322, which actually develops 2600-3000HP . But the complete production line has been given to Safran now. So Safran is not going to sell them to us.

According to latest news coming out from the region; Due to excessive bombing by the Russians there is no engine coming out of the Motor Sich factory that are related to turbofans. However the helicopter engine production, specifically the TV3-117VMA-SBM1V engine, seems to be still alive...
