While the tests of the TB-3 on the TCG Anadolu continue, I'm guessing a new family member of Bayraktar will be shared with the press, around end of 2025 or 26. A STOL naval aircraft with a take-off power of about 450+ shp. Baykar may start under-license production of this engine by then. So a...

I wish the ASW rocket launcher on the stern deck of Tuzla Class Patrol boats could be positioned further inwards, the mine shedding rails could be positioned portably and a 25 ton capacity crane (or towing system) and USV transport cradle could be replaced according to the type of mission. We...

The Turkic World Common Alphabet Commission announced that it has agreed on the proposal for a Common Turkic Alphabet consisting of 34 letters. At the meeting held in Baku in cooperation with the Turkic Academy and the Turkic Language Association, the Turkic World Common Alphabet Commission...

It was a mistake for Turkiye to get directly involved in Egyptian politics and take sides between the MB and the military tutelage. This MB issue is worthy of further discussion, and I have made extensive posts in other forums explaining my position. We made an organization that ideologically...

In Özal's time, the F-16 was shown as a domestic fighter jet on election posters, if you know what I mean. Since there is above average industrial knowledge here, I think we will understand each other without writing everything clearly. In a nutshell, I think ToT is a good marketing statement...

Egypt wants to participate in the production of Hürjet. I think it can be a profitable business model for both sides. However, we need to create full unity on the issues that need a political solution, especially the EEZ issue and full reconciliation in Libya, and I personally do not agree with...

Unfortunately, the cadres providing consultancy services to the relevant armed forces are extensions of certain arms lobbies. Traditionally, the diplomatic support of western states is valued in royal palaces, and major military contracts are to some extent important for strengthening this...

Oh, what a state my beloved thread has become. Please calm down. If anyone is still angry, please take a close look at my PP.

IMO, the ANKA-3 system definitely needs under-wing pylons, and you can be sure that the engineers in the relevant part of the project have considered drop-able these pylons during flight. As the power options for the ANKA-3 widens, some payloads with geometries and even weights that will not fit...

In the event of a very high threat of war and if Turkiye feels the source of this threat in the seas, that is the situation turns into a matter of life and death, Turkiye is about to reach the infrastructure to start building 6-8 main combatants, including submarines and large displacement...

Delegations from Iraq, the UAE and Qatar foreign ministries were to come to Istanbul today for consultations on the Iraq-Turkiye-Europe Development Road Project. Let's look at the situation from this perspective. While the Iraqi central government signed a cooperation agreement against...

Of course, we are not as familiar with Indian aviation programs as you are, I had only concluded from open sources that the development phase of the mk2 was quite advanced, thank you for the additional information. As you can appreciate, the Hürjet is not ready either, my ideas are more about...

Being able to produce a jet engine with a very long shelf life like the ARAT at home is a deterrent in itself. It will enable the armed forces to stockpile GEZGIN in really high quantities against all kinds of risk situations. God forbid, but in the event of an all-out war, or if the military...

As Yaşar Üstad said, Turkish-Qatari Joint air element command and permanent air base in Qatar is not the first step in the coordination of air forces and training support provided by the Turkish air force. In the public discourse, especially in the social media, the situation is interpreted in a...

Is this the final design?

I just dreaming that wing-launched, capable of carrying electro-optical sensors, infrared imagers, or electronic warfare systems (to actively jam early warning and target acquisition radars) according to mission requirement; semi-autonomous, allowing a controller in the mother-aircraft, airborne...

I think that ARAT will not only power GEZGIN Land Attack Missile. (A recoverable, low-cost UAV with digital flight controls and navigation systems that will be powered by Arat 🤞🤞🤞)

Images published on TRT News. I got the photos from Avionot. I think 'around 50 aircraft' is one of the specs that are starting to become clear. This means that I think there are at least 30 combatant jet targets when we exclude tactical drones and various types of aircraft such as utility...
