Actually they found that they won’t have any ships until 2030 apart from 3 Zumwalt destroyers , to put these guns on. Also in order to hit anything they need to be 100miles from the target. China’s long range missiles would not allow them to be that close. Although Zumwalts are “Stealthy” , it...
Railgun or Electromagnetic gun is a novel idea. Definitely there is huge potential in the technology. But it is expensive, cumbersome and comes with a bunch of technical difficulties such as power needs and guidance electronics that are very hard to ignore and solve in short time.
US is moving...
Not Exactly! But ktj3200 is now ready to fit and work with SOM and Atmaca. It will also pave the way for a turbofan engine to fit in to the “gezgin” cruise missile too!
According to this, Atmaca will have taken 11 years to join the inventory.
The ktj3200 engine program first started in 2011. So that will have taken 10years.

Presumavly, F515 İstanbul and a Milgem class Corvette in a Google Earth picture.
Not much going on aboard the F515. But MDAS seems to be in place.
That Corvette looks different somehow. Any guesses?
When mentioning temperatures of turbine inlet area Dr. Aksit mentions Kelvin values of 1500 to near 1800.
As you would know -273.15 degrees Centigrade is 0 Kelvin.
So he is talking about 1525 degrees Centigrade at the upper end. The F110 engine’s specs give a turbine inlet temperature of 1510...
You can see the differences in wing and landing gear straight away.
One question though: If only 28 Anka’s have been delivered to date, how come in 2020 there is one with No 49 stamped on it, ready to fly?
Let me correct the last paragraph if you don’t mind;
He also said that mass production will start before the end of the year for Aksungur.
The key point here is ; When the interviewer asked if only 28 Anka’s were delivered out of 75 ordered, if there are requests to convert the orders to...
Having read your post again I realised that I misunderstood. You are talking about attacking enemy positions with the help of small drones. Like it is in Korhan’s introductory video After 45th sec. and 1min.
As I have mentioned in my post; Australians have already managed to produce ”Green Hydrogen” from water by electrolysis cheaply. According to reports it is half the price of equivalent gasoline energy. They are in the process of making bulk production feasible by 2030.
The trick is to be able to produce Hydrogen at least as cheap as gasoline. For this, a measurement unit called GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) is used. 1 kg of Hydrogen is equivalent to 4 gallons of gasoline in terms of energy output. So 1 kg of hydrogen has to be 4dollars or less.

That is your opinion!
As I said I am a realist.
Once again, I say let us leave this discussion here. Let us agree to disagree! I will not respond to this anymore!
I do have confidence in my country and strongly believe in the exploration of hydrocarbons in land and in sea. It makes me happy to see new finds. Like all true Turks should be. But I am also a realist and can not be blind to world realities. As @Nein2.0(Nomad) has said there is no time now to...

Nice article.
We may see an operational TB3 within 12 months.
A jet UCAV however should prove to be more along the lines of what we actually need.
You probably misunderstood!
I meant neither is Russia, a Libya or an Iran or a Venezuela. But there are so many restrictions on their oil and gas sales. European countries and us are being pressurised not to buy Russian Gas and Oil.
As you, I also said in my previous post, that we need enough...
