Turkiye's tanks are outdated, I totally agree with that. But there is one thing you missed: The tank concept itself is outdated! Insisting on the outdated concept of "We will modernize the tanks" will do great harm to Turkiye, which is a money-scarce country. I think a maximum of 250 Altays will...
Actually, no. Altay is not a priority. IMO, priority for the our Land Forces at this stage is to create the "terrestrial autonomous armored drone concept" and to prepare the necessary infrastructure.
If the tank ammunition ignites and families of the soldiers in the tank approve the crematorium (without receiving the ashes), yes the best coffins are the russian tanks!
If many countries distance themselves from the West, it is the West that should be diligently, not Turkiye! There is one thing other countries know that they distance themselves from the West.
For Turkiye, this reasons has been the weapon and political support of NATO "allies" to the PKK...
I agree with you. I think this statement is nothing more than a public relations effort.
IMO, Altay tank should not be produced before operational AKKOR and the terrestrial armed&armored drone concept to accompany the tank are created. In addition, tanks that can't provide countermeasures...
I was actually expecting this. My understanding is that the South Korean power pack was not obtained either because of the transmission problem or because of the US pressure on South Korea. On the other hand, the domestic power package would mature after 2025, which was clearly expected.
Altay...
Erm, not quite. Even on a small turboshaft engine the job took a long time. For TS-1400 engine 2025 is given as the earliest mass production date. Attempting to develop the engine for the TFX/MMU without the aid of RR puts us in the position of the Indians. Or you find a revolutionary design...
In order for such a thing to happen, England must want to buy MIUS in meaningful numbers. England chose Japan as a partner and excluded Turkey from the Tempest project, why would it want to buy MİUS? Likewise, they partner with the Japanese for a drone like MIUS.
I don't think it will work.
I...
I don't think there will be jet drones except MIUS. In addition, MIUS will have A and B models, so there is no need for another jet combat drone.
Göksungur, according to my estimation, derived from target plane Şimşek. It will be something of a decoy+kamikaze+EW drone mix. We can assume it is...
Of course. Main drones: MİUS, TB3, Kamikaze drones and ULAQ. TCG Anadolu and her sister ship TCG Trakya also will carry many mini drones. It is necessary to create an all-round sensor network. TCG Anadolu and TCG Trakya will become fully mobile military bases on their own. They will be able to...
@Yasar ;
What are the differences between 5th generation turbofan jet engines and 6th generation turbofan jet engines? Except for electric kW output powers and variable by-pass technology?
