Yes. Kinzhal is derived from Iskender missile. (This missile has many derivatives with many different sizes and weights) It is supposed to travel at 9-10 Mach. But clocked at 6-7 Mach.(which is the speed of Iskender and hypersonic). It is NOT capable of hitting moving targets. It is a tactical...
Most claims when it comes to military matters are either exaggerated or kept half secret. Russians tend to exaggerate more than most. But there is a lot of hype about their hypersonic missiles like zircon and kinzhal. Although they give our 8 and 12 Mach speeds for these missiles, US has only...
There is a lot of waffle but no substance in this article. If you say something is crap. You have to prove why and how it is so. This article is far from achieving that.
There is no particular ratio at which the engine becomes a 'high' bypass, though the it is generally taken to be around 4:1 and above are now classified as high bypass.
0.68:1 bypass ratio is definitely not high bypass if you take above as the norm. Compared with other jet engines like f414 with...
It was clearly stated as 0.7-0.8 high bypass ratio . This is a totally different engine specially developed by GE with LM involved for United Arab Emirates’ 80 x f16V60 planes...
F110GE129 is low by pass. But F110 GE132 is stated as a high bypass turbofan engine in GE catalogue. This engine was manufactured for the use of Unifed Arab Emirates F16V60 planes. it gives a thrust of 32000lbf against the 129 version which is a 29000lbf engine. TEI actually maintains these 132...
According to the MD of TEI, with respect to f110 engine, they are fully capable of making the whole engine “from ground up” as you put it at this moment in time. They can produce more than 50% of the critical parts including the high temperature parts like single Crystal blades In house. The...
YES to the first part No to the second part.
The engine that TR Motor is working on at the moment has many similarities with the F110GE132 engine which is a high bypass turbofan engine. This engine is going to be powering theTFX . Projected to be ready around 2027-29.
Supercharger by design and theory is a much better way to compress air in to the combustion chamber. Because of it’s superior values “on paper” Mercedes used it on their compressor engines.
superchargers have been used many times on engines. But somehow never been as efficient as turbos...
Of these 4 , I like the Tork anti-torpedo torpedo. All our surface ships and subs should have a good number of these in their inventories. The name of the game in any battle is “survivability” . So for naval platforms, Tork will help that happen.
Turkey has the largest deposits of Boron in the world.
There are big deposits of tungsten too. I know for a fact that there used to be a Wolfram (tungsten) mine in Uludag..
When it comes to ceramic, well the sand is the raw material.
Iron ores are in Divrigi/Sivas.
We have big Copper and...
This is great news. First video of live warhead test of Atmaca! That missile looks very fast! I guess this time they have used a more elevated approach to the target.
Exactly! That is what I am saying. I hope this will not jeopardise the stealthy characteristics of the drone. My first post may have been a bit vague! So I amended it.

US army has carried out a test on the matter and has found it to be satisfactory. Although it does not answer your question, the tests have shown that the ceramic cover does not negatively affect the performance of the gun.
Other reports...
TB3 should also have satellite communication capability and a longer staying power as well as more usable weight allowance.
My only reservation would be the size of the drone, due to bigger and heavier engine giving rise to more fuel requirement , could make the drone big enough to be more...
This is huge! Foreign dependency on this technology, no longer! Our big naval guns will be free of corrosion and all our artillery guns will be with more life. Well done.
Working on one tech opens avenues in another. This is the beauty of research and development.
