    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    I really don't understand why this is taking so long. A possible explanation would be: In the previous PD-170s, simple pieces were used, the copyrights and sales rights of which belonged to western countries. They thought that an embargo would not come to them. When the embargo was imposed, it...

    The FCAS in European inventory has been delayed until the 2050s.

    The discussion of where to produce the parts has led to serious problems even in a politically and economically highly integrated country like the USA. I read somewhere that one of the reasons why the F22 was so expensive was that parts were produced in unexpected places for political reasons...

    No, not tolerable for any aircraft. (Except for Russian aircrafts! LOL) I have no doubt they'll smooth its surface when KE's ready to fly.

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Russia is can NOT mass mobilise, resupply and regrouping. Too late already. Because about half of the active Russian military inventory was destroyed in this war. The rest are of lesser quality. The mass mobilization that Russia will proclaim will only result in mass military funerals in...

    I give 5 years for Russian disintegration after end of this war.

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Nope. He couldn't be any tougher. In order for it to boner (i mean tougher), blood must go to the "necessary organ". Neither economic blood (exchange reserves and productive capacity) nor military blood (cannon fodders and war machines) remained in Russia. Therefore, no one will care who will...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    RTE may be kissing Russia's ass, but I think it's also the kiss of death. LOL Because bigoted Westerners will do the opposite of whatever RTE says. Does RTE want truce? They will escalate the war as much as they can.

    TR Air Defence Programs

    After a range of 150 km, and especially if you want an anti-ballistic defense system, things suddenly become difficult. Then you start playing by the rules of a completely different game. Rockets need to be extremely fast. Radars and algorithms also need to be very superior etc. In my opinion...

    Turkish modernization program worries Greek defence enthusiasts

    I think that Greeks are worrying about the wrong project. They should be worried that Turkiye will have the ability to produce air & sea drones when it wants and as much as it needs. Turkiye can also produce smart munitions in the style of Çakır, which are the weapons of these drones, I didn't...

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    The aircraft carrying the operators will always stand high. Like 10-15 km. 8 km is an approximate altitude that I chose to simplify the calculation. But you're basically right about altitude. In a mountainous landscape like Turkiye, the LOS will be interrupted frequently. It's a dynamic...

    Ask @Yasar (Yerden yükselince LOS menzili ne kadar oluyor, anlatsın. Ben de anlatırım da oturup hesaplamam lazım. Tembel adamım ben.) Anyway, I calculate. LOS = (2x6371xh1)^0,5 + (2x6371xh2)^0,5 If h1=h2=8 km, then LOS 620 km h1, h2 Are the altitudes of the aircrafts, respectively. And 6371...

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    No. Why should I go to all this trouble and risk if I were to use a relay drone? Even if you rise 15 km from the ground, the LOS range becomes 1000s of km. If you are going to engage in A2A warfare, it is absolutely essential that a drone stays within LOS range all time. No relay drone needed. A...

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    I thought a lot about this. "How can we use the KE in air-to-air combat like F16s and instead of the F16s if we have to?" KE cannot be effectively managed from ground stations due to signal latency and loss of LOS. Current artificial intelligence technology is not sufficient for such complex...
