Certain degrees of upgrades are possible even for block 10 aircrafts as per attached file indicates. Structural Upgrades for Block 15 Initial Inspection: Airframes undergo thorough checks (such as PACER SLIP) to find and repair bulkhead cracks using methods like cold working. [1] Falcon STAR...

According to unconfirmed news Pakistan is after Turkish Ozgur modernisation too. https://timesofislamabad.com/30-06-2026/pakistans-f-16-fleet-eyes-turkiyes-ozgur-upgrade-with-us-nod/ But they need US approval as neither us nor PAK can touch these planes unless US will consent. Sound like...

Had we developed a naval trainer version too, even US may have shown an interest. But for Hurjet proper as it is we have been comparatively slow in developing it. Albeit not being an urgent case like Kaan and being totally financed by Tusas resources, it was a slow growing project. But to date...

I agree that we should definitely put an offer to UK either via Airbus Spain or direct to UK even if it serves only to put the cat among the pigeons. It is a shame that BAE Systems have chosen to ally themselves with Boeing Saab for the UK trainer tender. UK want to be in control of the...

Guys stay on topic. And be civil.

Mate, this is not your country’s thread. I am pre warning you to be careful about what you write. Don’t even try to go there about arguing over this.You agreed to the rules of forum when you signed up. Same goes for @Lool ! Read the forum rules. We may remove or modify any Content submitted at...

@Lool @mehmed beg you are visitors in the🇹🇷 threads. Watch your language and what you write. Or you will attract thread bans.

This thread is Turkish 🇹🇷Foreign Policy and Geoplolitics thread. Foreign nationals are welcome to ask questions and add their piece of mind as long as it does not interfere with the way the tread is used by Turkish nationals/residents. So I would ask members to be more careful when posting in...

In 1990 the active personnel number of Turkish Navy was around 46-48000. Around 35000 of this were conscripts (~73%). In 2025 total active personnel number was 48600. Only around (~45%) 21500 was conscripts. To day there is also a well trained 55000 reserve personnel. As newer and more modern...

Bro, correct me if I am wrong, but I think you may have misunderstood. They are requesting a platform at the back of the ship that is capable of handling up to 15 ton helicopters on TF2000 destroyer. Not necessarily a 15 ton helicopter. An 8-10 ton Seahawk equivalent helicopter should suffice...

There is no decisive picture that would give away the actual innards of the Tempest Engine. All we can see and gather from this picture and from various other more detailed ones, is that there are provisions for very large electrical power generation. The engine looks like it comprises of: 3...

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...
