Ukraine paid 69 million dollars for 6 tb2’s , 3 ground control units and 200 mam-l weapons. https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/baykar-delivered-second-batch-of-tb2-ucavs-to-ukraine-3760

This is something we will have to speculate, rather than know as it involves control units, who is buying it etc. etc. But one thing we know that Mr Bayraktar himself said that the cost of 12 TB2‘s was equal 1/5th of the cost of 10 Herons for which we paid 250 million in 2010. That puts it as...

Yes that is possible. But Atmaca is not a stealthy missile! It is a sea skimming missile. So , say a frigate with a radar mast of approximately 35m can see the Atmaca flying 1m above sea level, from 25km away. This gives the frigate 40 seconds reaction time for defence. This is hard but...

Originally yes and no! For f35 and later for TFX. Now it will be used by other platforms like Akinci as well.

If you investigate in detail all the missiles you have quoted when in “air-launched” form are around 630-690kg in weight and 3.8-4.6m in length. Harpoon air launched : 690kg & 3.8m Exocet air launched ((M39) : 670kg & 4.6m RBS15 Mk3 air launched : 630kg & 4.3m All these...

Orka can be launched from Aksungur. SOM-J is going to be launched from Akinci. For our own use I would prefer these platforms. Much cheaper and less dangerous for us! Atmaca is a big missile. Over 800 kg in mass and ~ 5.2 metres. According to specs of this aircraft the wing maximum weight limit...

This Ukraine AI-35 engine news is baffling! Alexander Ivchenko (AI) engines are produced by Motor Sich. (Like TEI) Ivchenko Progress is a design company. (Like TR Motor) Does NOT produce engines. Motor Sich, produces AI-25 engines but NO AI-35 engines. Ivchenko Progress has a design for AI-305...

In this configuration and at 50+ million dollar each (India is thinking of 62 of these for 3+billion dollars) and carrying live pilots , they are not as expendable as an Akinci or Aksungur UAV which are less than half the cost. That is if they are only to be used as bombers! Then my money is on...

If you listen to Mahmut Aksit, you will understand that GE has made TEI, what it is today. All the machinery they brought over and know how of turbine engine building TEI has accumulated has GE written under it. We are reaping the benefits of what GE has given us. We still need them going...

Don’t forget ADA class ships are CODAG . But these new OPV ships are CODAD .

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/acik-deniz-karakol-gemisi-opv-2100/ At the bottom of the above article there is paragraph for future Extension capacity ; Special sensors and weapons More living quarters This means the design is open to growth and development!

It‘s a ship that has a deficiency in the weapons department apart from the helicopter it is carrying. Such a big ship and not enough weapons! Those RHIB‘s can easily be replaced with ULAQ! It also needs Atmaca or at least MRAShM launchers. No self defence equipment either! Gokdeniz and Sungur...

Does he really believe in what he is saying? You need to be dumb and blind in order to say US was not involved!

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/akar-denizalti-tcg-gur-ziyaret/ There is a statement in this article; It says that previously GUR sub “stayed under water without seeing sunlight for 38 days. “ Can anybody explain that? Surely it must have come up to snorkel depth and switched on it’s diesel...

Thanks for the explanation! This explains the TOT from our end. But we are not just giving this to them though. Are we? That is what I was trying to get at. There must be something we are getting from them in return. PS when 4-6 milgemU and same number of 58250 finish, they will have a very...

https://www.defenceturk.net/abd-ordusu-birliklerini-hipersonik-fuze-ekipmanlariyla-donatmaya-basladi US already started getting it’s forces ready to use hypersonic weapons. This means that they are at a fairly late stages of development of these weapons. We should be looking in to these weapons...

Exactly! With tr40 fitted , France would be protesting most certainly. Ktj3200 should be available in the next few months. So it is possible in a few months!

Are you sure? Because if the rest of the ships are going to be built in Ukraine with Turkish engineering help, there must have been some form of global contract covering all 4 ships they were talking of building. If this is not the case and we are building the shell of the first ship then...

Not just a collaboration but know how transfer as well! There must also be a reciprocal TOT from the Ukrainian side regarding certain technologies that we may be lacking. Hence the price of the deal on paper may not reflect the true nature of the cost of complete contract.

So they are paying 137 million for an empty shell! Engines, power generators, radars, missiles and weapons will be added in Ukraine. Apart from the shape of it, nothing of it will be ADA class!
