There were 57 t-129 Atak deliveries as of June 2020. Each one costs about 50 million dollars. These are expensive pieces of machinery and easy to bring down with man pads. They have their uses; and are vital in the battlefield. But as said above we have enough of them. Because they are light...

I would classify Aksungur as a non deep strike platform as well. But why do you think they were testing it with 12 Mam-L and getting ready for 24 Mam-L? Why try Teber missile launch which is not a stand off ammo? May be they know more than we do!!

Aksungur, made with all the knowledge and experience gathered from Anka UAV, is the culmination of all relevant technologies to date by Tusas. But the main question still stays regarding it’s performance with respect to real battlefield conditions and how it would fare against the enemy radars...

https://www.defenceturk.net/northrop-grumman-yeni-nesil-obus-muhimmati-icin-ramjet-motor-denemesi-yapti Northrop Grumman has been testing to use ramjet propelled 155mm artillery ammunition rounds to achieve around 100km range with pinpoint accuracy. BAE Systems has been developing hyper velocity...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/leopard-2a4-modernizasyonu/ they are in the process of modernising leo2a4 tanks. The so called Altay with L44 gun is actually a leo2a4 with an Altay turret. It seems that they are trying to use same sub systems for the tanks for ease of exchange of parts. Although...

Hard launch is another name used for hot launch.

According to the explanation given here; Soft launch is another version of cold launch. By using minimum amount of gas to launch the missile , less force and stress is exerted on the electronic sensors. Also because of less gas usage simultaneous launches can be realised.

The design flaw I was referring to was the fact that the first class214 sub built for Greek Navy had balance problems. As it was surfacing it was badly tilting at its side. This had to be addressed and corrected By adding weights etc. Our navy was not pleased with the interlm solution Germans...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/dikey-atim-sistemlerinde-baslatma-teknikleri/ A nice tutorial about various vertical missile launch systems. Turkish MDAS systems will probably be using cold launch; then in time may evolve in to a soft launch. Thanks to embargoes being in place the indigenous...

An active protection such as Aselsan’s Akkor would not pose danger to infantry as it would destroy incoming rocket/missile at a fair distance from the tank. But a system like Pulat, which is developed by Aselsan from Ukraine’s Zaslon system would be dangerous to close by infantry As it explodes...

Yes you are right the T700-TEI-701D engine develops 2000hp. But these engines are being produced under licence for the Blackhawk helicopters Tusas/Tai has a contract for 109 platforms. Can TEI produce extra engines without GE approval for another platform? The other point is the US Abrams uses a...

Would I be wrong in thinking that as these submarines’ production contract was in 2011 with HDW/MFI, all parts related to them were manufactured and even shipped to Golcuk. Because of the design fault of the subs the manufacturing process had to be postponed. But the parts were all shipped anyway.

That may have been your personal experience. I look at it from an engineer‘s point of view. 7 speed and 9 speed autoboxes of Mercedes cars are probably the finest in their class. (So it should be as their formula 1 cars give them enough tech input). Also Auidi’s auto box with double clutch...

With all these UAV’s we are building and their effectiveness being established, we should now be looking in to : 1. Establish a separate Airforce UAV command that will serve all three forces. (Not detracting from individual forces’ UAV usage for force-specific cases) 2. Set up an educational...

It is funny but sad at the same time. Unfortunately this is where we are at the moment. Because we can not build Altay, we are trying to find solutions to counteract our adversaries’ technical superiority.

Think of a M60 or M60A3 with a 105mm gun, and fitted with APS like Pulat and ERA fitted over turret. If our 105mm Tanoks are capable of reaching 6+ to 8 km then they are modern tank killers since Tanok has top penetration mode. No tank is going to have a sabot round that can penetrate from that...

As a country with an up and coming on the rise defence industry, Turkey should be looking in to the production of Hyper Velocity Projectile weapons. just by design geometry and materials used BAE Systems has managed to make a projectile that can achieve hypersonic speeds if fired from a...

Is it true that the WHO will allocate vaccine quantities to be delivered to countries in line with the number of cases they have declared. Hence Turkey coming clean with the “TRUE” number of cases.!?

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/m113-elektrikli-zirhli-muharebe-araci-e-zma/ Turkey’s MKEK and a private group are going to be modernising the M113 personnel carriers in the inventory with Hybrid Electric engines. just check out the torque value ; 6000NM! (1500hp MTU engine develops 4500NM) This...

It IS a heavy tank. When suddenly a lot of torque is needed the transmission is put under a lot of strain. Meterials Engineering used in gearing has to be very precise and is very important. Germans excel in this area. Just look at the auto boxes they use in Mercedes and especially in Audi cars...
