Convergent and divergent ducts change movement of airflow and is achieved by moving the nozzle. These are 2 F110 engines of a F15. by moving the nozzles you can converge and diverge airflow.

PS if you can make this. Yes TVC also is a possibility. But it...
In order to have TVC we need an engine first. If we go with RR making the engine and ask them for a TVC version like they have on their EJ-200 engine, then may be, yes.
I can’t remember Mahmut Aksit implying. What he said was moving nozzle construction. That is not TVC. F110 has them as well...

Roketsan’s Levent point defence system is being prepared to start first firing tests soon.
This RAM look-alike defence system will use upgraded Sungur missiles with RF seeker heads. The system is such that the missiles...

It looks like Siper Block-1 will enter TSK inventory at the beginning of 2023.
There have been a lot of interest for Siper from abroad as well.
Apparently Aselsan, Roketsan and Tubitak-Sage trio have been...
The formula for distance of horizon is:
d=~√2hR
d= distance
h= height of your eyes
R= radius of Earth
for ease of calculation we can simplify it to
d=~ 3.57√h
So if your eyes are at 100m above sea level then the horizon is at 35.7km away.
Hoewver radar horizon is a little bit further:
d=~4.12 √h...

Dogfights with LOS communications are possible with drones like KE. Ground pilots can execute far shaper and dangerous g-turns than manned planes, without endangering themselves. They can easily fight off and chase away illegal airspace incursions by enemy aircrafts.
Beyond LOS engagements AI...
Iskander-M missile is great on paper. Russians may have blown it out of proportion a bit though. They say it is a hypersonic missile. But it is hypersonic only for a while, depending on how aerodynamic and heavy it is at terminal phase. We saw how well they hit their targets. Albeit an export...
What you write here is somehow not relevant anymore. Because all phase-1 t-129 helicopters are in the process of being upgraded to phase-2 anyway. This includes the first 9 EDH helicopters that came in right at the beginning and the 42 locally produced ones...

It has RAM paint on it,
1.5 ton payload,
No problems with Ukrainian engine supply,
Fast and agile and can do air to air combat,
Both the one on show and the one in factory are real prototypes
A lot of ammo will be carried inside. Stealth is a priority for KE
Engine integration is currently going on
Just because the bypass ratio of TF-6000 is 1.08 and not 0.5 doesn‘t make it high bypass ratio engine. Yes it has more air going around the engine than similarly powered military jet engines. But it is still low bypass. In order to qualify as a high bypass engine ratio, the ratio needs to be in...
Bora 2 is definitely there somewhere as mentioned by one of the ministers around 4 years ago. But it is a strategic tactical weapon.
It is a game changer weapon. It is a weapon you do not advertise too much about.
If one has to speculate, it must be around 500km range missile with at least 500kg...
Re: GaN based Aesa radars
