    Turkey’s Air Force Is Obsolete, Warns New Study

    The writer is talking about the DAS (Distributed Aperture System), which is basically a set of high resolution IR sensors and IRST placed around the aircraft that can detect missiles and their launch up to 30km. We should apply the DAS system on AKINCI drones that would be able to detect enemy...

    Turkey’s Air Force Is Obsolete, Warns New Study

    F35 is a fine aircraft IF you use it like the US wants you to (purely defensive and against Russia), a scenario that probably never will happen and so you will have an expensive aircraft that is never used in battle. Probably they will turn a blind eye to bombing missions against terrorist. But...

    Design of Otokar Cobra II is solely from Otokar itself. The base (chassis) is from AM General (I think licensed)

    Nope, I do not think so, even Leopard 2A4's popped up like melons against ATGM's. Won't even want to think about Leopard 1

    Some people forget that also engine parts are somewhat standardized and when you build a new engine you use those standardized parts as well. It is like designing a circuit board and claim that it is copied because all resistors, capacitors and IC's look exactly like on other circuit boards.

    Well this is the MTU 883 engine Considering Turkey needs engines for the Altay (that is already designed) and her older Leopard 2A4 tanks it is obvious that the engine layout size etc. has to be same / similar. So they'd probable look very close too (and of course MTU 883 serves as a good...

    Do you know "tribology" ? It's a science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion. It includes the study and application of the principles of friction, lubrication, and wear. Like air friction you have also water friction. At the Dutch university they were researching for...

    Cavitation tunnels for universities is nothing special. I myself was part of a team building a similar water tunnel at the Dutch University of Twente

    Agree completely, Turkey should have from begin on certified her planes with different engine options. Anyway a good lesson for us in future plane and helicopter projects.

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    Yes but the plane would have a re-certification, everything is possible but takes again time. Maybe a year?

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    Nope! You cannot just change the engine. Technically possible of course but you would not have it EASA certified

    How to export them without engine? Did Canada not put a total embargo?
