TF6000 engine should come online ASAP. It does not need to be matured for it to be deployed. Being a little underpowered than how it is intended to be will not make much of a difference it only needs to keep delivering the amount of power it is rated to deliver. In other words it only needs to...
Since the Kızılelma is a development aircraft I presume it will first be tested for long runway operation which is safer to do and be adapted for carrier operation afterwards.
I guess it totally depends on how well the development process goes. If they pass the developments stages smoothly without setbacks then I believe it can be ready for deployment earlier than planned.
That's absolutely true.
But for longer and longer ranges we might utilize planes to launch bigger missiles. They can both be ramjet or scramjet or regular rockets like the Tayfun. What I am suggesting as an exploratory project is to piggyback a large missile on a small plane. And also perhaps...
I have been wondering if a larger missile like the Tayfun can be launched from Kızılelme or any plane for that matter. A plane has a limited carrying capacity for weapons on its pylons but a similar problem was solved for the now retired space shuttle by carrying it on top of a Boeing 747...
550km altitude is where Starlink satellites are located. First generation Starlink satellites are only 260kg while second generation is 5 times as much.
We spent all the years before the Erdoğan government doing nothing and only picked up in the past two decades under Erdoğan rule.
There was no hope that Türkiye would one day earn a proud place among nations. We were considered to be 150 years behind the developed world.
Now we are only 15...
Probably US national civilian infrastructures like airports, metro lines, roads can be taken as a benchmark. They are there but rather old and rundown. US military still holds the edge but competition is closing the gap fast.
There is no such thing.
If they could they would not only disallow Türkiye forever from exploiting its resources they would simply erase us from the face of earth and take everything we have.
Quasi ballistic doesn't mean it can not follow a ballistic trajectory.
A rocket can follow a trajectory using its fuel in such a way that it still has fuel at its terminal stage.
This way it can hit the target at maximum speed albeit at the cost of a shorter range.
Speculating.
