We do need a jet UAV going forward. As I explained above the TS1400 engine can not be transformed in to a turbofan engine. But a turbofan engine redesigned around TS1400 engine that would give a thrust of 8500-9500lbf thrust would be ideal for a stealth jet UAV. Being a turbofan it would be more...

Correct! If TEI could produce a F404 engine in house at the same basis of the T700 engine it is producing for the Blackhawk helicopters, it would be great.

In theory what is written here is sort of correct. But; 8500-9500lbf thrust engine is not enough to power the Hurjet, unless you use two of these engines. Hurjet is a single engined plane now. Also to prove that we can build a gas turbine engine has been fulfilled with TEI building the TS1400...

https://www.c4defence.com/Gundem/tb2-sihalar-rusyada-endise-uyandirdi/11191/1 Ukraine has been flying the TB2 UAV’s quite close to Russian border in Crimea. Russians were worried as they have realised that the Ukrainians have learnt to fly them so that the Russians are not able to detect them.

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/hurjete-aesa-radar/ Hurjet will hava an Aesa radar. This means that the plane is not going to be a “trainer only”. But the GE-F404 engine they are going for is not the most powerful in it’s class. I only hope that an indigenous engine is being worked on , like the...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/som-fuzesi-ktj-3200-turbojet-motoru/ KTJ3200 turbo jet engine develped by Kale Engineering has ben tested. This engine will power SOM , SOM-J and Atmaca missiles. After the last test it will be ready for serial production. Deliveries of SOM-J with the new engine...

We should start searching Greek and German ships going through Bosphorus and Dardanelles until we receive a formal apology.

There is a lot of rumour going on in the media about the VLS purchase from the US for the I-Class frigate that it has undergone embargo restrictions. The last time I looked in to it, the sale of this VLS via BAE Systems, was approved by the US Senate. Have they rescinded their decision? Also...

We should demand a formal apology from the German government for the illegal action they have taken against our civilian ship, through state channels.

Exactly! Why didn’t they call it HGK-UM (uzun menzil)?

KGK (kanatlı güdüm kiti) already exists. What is the point in making HGK-ER? Or , is this the serial production we are seeing of KGK that Tubitak-Sage developed? https://www.sage.tubitak.gov.tr/tr/urunler/kanatli-gudum-kiti-kgk

I hope the Bora missile has terminal-course maneuvering capability like the Iskender M missile to evade air defence systems. I would also like to see it to be as aerodynamic as possible to improve it’s terminal speed.

I like the twin engined prop UAV on Mr Akar’s left. It has a look of a mix of Hurkus and Aksungur about it.

I Hope you are right. Otherwise those 5 boats being built will be nothing more than expensive rust buckets. I am still worried about the need to take the AIP units at regular intervals to Germany for maintenance. At the first sign of us confronting Greece in the Med, they may decide not to...

Germany is preparing for an embargo on all arms to Turkey, which will cover naval equipment including submarines. This is very bad news for the Reis class subs being built at the moment. Greeks have been pushing Germany to stop supplying Submarine parts and equipment. It looks like they may be...

This is slightly different to hypersonic missiles like zircon. This is a hyper velocity glide Vehicle. Like Avantgard system of Russia and DF-ZF system of China. It actually goes out of atmosphere, then re enters at high speed. And hits it’s target at hypersonic speeds. It too is an impressive...

This is really important technology. Ram jet, for air to air and supersonic cruise missiles, gives controlled speed and longer range with very high terminal speed. The other technology that is a must for us and is actually the natural follow up of ram jet is Scram jet (Supersonic-Combustion ram...

If we could use all the know how we have gathered in building the f35 and SOM together with the knowledge we have accumulated in the development of TFX and pass it on to the new stealth jet UAV we are planning to build we could come up with a truly stealthy craft. All the EW experience we have...

Geometry of the wings and the plane in general and the material of the macro structure play a big role in how much of the radar signals are deflected, how much are bypassed and how much are absorbed. That is why BAE System engineers are employed at Tusas. This know how is important. The size of...

Exactly ! We will need newer ships to replace the older ships. But as it stands today this is the fleet we have. Gabya class is old too. But we have to put up with them. Yavuz class is really old too. But until I class is fully operational they are there. Tuzla class as well as having patrol...
