Please stop blaming Turkiye or Azerbaijan. It was clearly stated that this issue needs to be put to bed in an amicable manner. No more you did this, we did this! Please do not test the administration’s patience any more.

Bro, you need to check that again. TAI, the manufacturer exporting the helicopter—must apply for and secure the U.S. export licenses for the engines, as the U.S. grants them based on end-user approval of the receiving country. The Manufacturer (TAI): As the exporter and builder of the T129...

Let us start with Nigeria: Nigeria experienced initial delivery delays for its 6 t129 order. They had to use diplomatic push to kick TAI in the back to get their t129 helicopters in October 2023. Philippines t129 order: TAI took the contract for 6 units without confirming availability of export...

Bro, quantities on most items there, are the quantities that we need. But to achieve them within that time frame is a bit far fetched. Heck! They are running over a year late even with the first flight of Kaan‘s P1 prototype. They promised to start delivering Kaan with TF35K engine (an engine...

Does an Aesa radar has to be perfect circle or square? No! It can be rectangular, octagonal or ellipsoidal. In fact most are rectangular. I measured that area under the air intake to be over 110cm wide. Under air intake the plane is quite plump. They altered a lot of measurements in Kaan P1...

According to Aselsan they are working on an Aesa radar for Anka 3. Within this framework, MURAD 100-A AESA Nose Radar provides electronic beam steering and simultaneous air-to-air and air-to-ground engagement capabilities, including Beyond Visual Range missile guidance. The radar has...

Well, according to below article an Aesa radar is to be fitted on to Anka3. https://turdef.com/article/aselsan-to-integrate-murad-100-a-radar-on-anka-iii-ucav As per your above points made ; ASELSAN did not provide details on the integration timeline or modifications, but judging from MURAD...

Bro, I know you mostly take everything here from a political perspective and analyse it accordingly, adding your views to it. That is probably why I am not very keen on most of the stuff you post. (I just don’t like politics. Nothing to do with you) Having said that, I think this is the best...

USS Gerald Ford Key Timeline Milestones August 2005: Advance construction and ceremonial steel cutting began at Newport News Shipbuilding. September 2008: The U.S. Navy awarded the primary construction contract to Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding. November 14, 2009: The ceremonial keel was laid...

All very valid points. But don’t discount KE’s stealth capability. It may not be as stealthy as an Anka-3 or F35. But it should be stealthier than any 4th generation jet fighter like F16Block72, Rafale or even EF. I would forget about dog fighting for quite sometime yet. At least until AI...

Re Nursultan Nazarbayev Throughout his time as the first President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev maintained a staunchly secular stance against the adoption of Arab-style Islamic clothing—including the headscarf (hijab)—arguing that it is alien to Kazakh national traditions. No one...

Please refrain from discussing discriminatory religious topics. Everyone’s belief is his own. No one should question that. Also no one should expect his or her beliefs to take precedence. Every country has a legislative system with which its population is governed. That has to be respected. Be...

https://news.lockheedmartin.com/2026-10-09-Lockheed-Martin-Debuts-PAC-3-Edge-TM-for-the-U-S-Armys-Innovative-Future-Interceptor-Program May be related to above title or not. But Lockheed Martin’s new PAC-3 Edge missile developed from PAC-3 MSE is to give solution to intercepting problems of...

Carriers are extremely well built and over engineered vessels. Particularly the US super carriers are behemoths of their class. They are so well compartmentalised that sinking them is not easy with conventional bombs. Nothing short of a nuclear attack can sink them outright. In 2005 it took 4...

Why the 2-Knot "Drifting" Test is Absolutely Significant: The major and most important hurdle for an AShM is not the target's top speed. It is the fact that the target is not stationary like a land coordinate. Conventional ballistic missiles fly to predetermined GPS or inertial coordinates...

Well, it to me too was a bit of a mystery. But Tayfun Block 3 hit a sea target at very high impact speed. The target in question was only 7m in length and very narrow fishing boat freely moving with currents at around 2 knots (that is verified as Black Sea current speeds). That is drifting at a...

Delving deeper into Tayfun Block 4: As Roketsan is getting ready to introduce this missile in to TSK inventory this year, it is important to look at some facts and deduce some calculated guesstimates. F If we look at the various statements and foreign write ups on this missile called Tayfun...

https://turdef.com/article/siper-2-air-defence-missile-enters-serial-production As mentioned above, Roketsan‘s and Aselsan’s Siper 2 missile systems with 150+km range and 30+ km altitude have started serial production runs. As deliverable quantities are reached they will become part of the TSK...

KUZGUN-KY (Solid Fuel / Rocket-Powered): Good for high-speed tactical strikes under a minute, successfully tested from unmanned surface vessels (AUSV) like the MARLIN. KUZGUN-SS (Free Gliding): Designed for standoff deployment from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) like AKINCI and Aksungur...

Although there has not been any new “breaking news” on Kuzgun range of missiles,it doesn’t mean that they are forgotten. Tubitak Sage site clearly shows them as valid munitions. https://www.sage.tubitak.gov.tr/en/uav-munition/kuzgun/ Tubitak has been busy with testing and integrating SOM-J and...
