Yes and no! You were correct in suggesting kgk84 for NEB84 application as Aselsan also does the same in their brochure. One has to remember that if the bunker to be penetrated is a few feet below surface the MK84 based bunker-buster bomb can do it’s job as it is designed to hit bunker surface...

D Do you think Aselsan guys are sitting on their laurels? They are aware of the GPS systems being blocked. We lived through it during North Syria operations. To prove that without GPS they could find target, they used an Atmaca firing and hit the target with bulls eye accuracy in the middle of...

I said twice the size but three times the weight. 3 x ~200kg = ~ 600kg. Super Simsek is 1.75 wide, 4m long and 0.75m high. Double it : 3.5m wide 8m long and 1.5m high TB2 is 12m wide, 6.5m long and 2.2m high TB2 weighs 450kg when empty. 650-700kg when fully loaded. Apart from that large wing...

I like the way you approach this. You are correct in thinking that this drone should operate in airspaces where total air superiority is gained. But TB2 stands for Tactical Block 2. It is not a standard MALE drone. It is built to fight. Tactical in armed forces means taking immediate combat...

Good idea! But Eren is essentially a turbojet powered loitering munition. So it is not going to be cheap. TB2 made its name with MAM-L, which is a Lumtas missile sans rocket motor. It took out enemy armour right left and centre costing minimum to the user, devastated the receiver. It did that by...

https://turdef.com/article/bayraktar-tb2-flies-with-the-indigenous-tm100-engine According to above article it is the indigenous TM100 engine it flew with. But I find it wrong to publish these so-called record figures. These tests are needed. Yes. It gives the technical staff valuable...

How do you know that our missiles are inferior to the US ones? Do you think that our airforce would accept an inferior quality a2a missile when they have been using the US built ones and know all their kinematics? US missiles are not infallible either. We saw in Ukraine how after initial success...

There is no such thing as friends when it comes to relations between states. It is cooperation along the lines of mutual benefits and interests, political understanding, good trading partner relations and historic connections that tie populations to each other. If any of those bonds are broken...

Bro, You should also add to the cost; the cost of what those blown up drones would have destroyed, had they not been blown up. Many times people have criticised the destruction of cheap Shaheed drones by expensive a2a missiles in Iran-Israel conflict. If you haven’t got a cheaper interceptor...

Republicans may have majority in both houses. But the Jewish, Armanian and Greek lobbies in them need to be persuaded to vote in line with Trump's wishes. LM and GE ought to put their weight as well. It is a tall order when everything in the west is controlled by Jewish money.

This means US has no intention of lifting CAATSA sanctions in place against it's largest ally. This also means that sanctions and semi hidden embargoes on like parts and engines would be subject to these sanctions too. Hence, F110 and f404 engine sales and/or joint production approval by...

@Quasar , Good Idea Bro. But even the TRG300 doesn’t have enough mass/weight to hit target at high enough velocity to inflict the kinetic damage you are expecting. Trlg230 reaches 4.2 Mach in midcourse. But it will hit target at just under 1 Mach, like 07-0.8 Mach. TRG300 will at best hit the...

Roketsan says it is 185mm.

Do you know why the Russian engines gave black smoke? Because they found that fat and short combustion chambers worked best for their compressor design. After Safran helped them they managed to correct some of that shortcoming. Our engines are designed with western tech. They probably will not...

@UkroTurk , Kinematics of both missiles are different. ESSM is optimised for defending sea platforms against all threats in mid range. As per @Anmdt has pointed out it is a very very good “point defence” missile. ESSM uses a dual thrust engine. It has dual fuel in its tank. quick burning one...

The bold lettered bit is the operative statement there. We know how to play football in Turkey. Heck! We were 3rd best in the world once. But still have many foreign players in every team. Even the national team is managed by a foreigner. Analogy to one side; having a partner that can look...

100% correct. ITP Aero is an ex Rolls Royce company. ITP were the ones that developed and manufactured the prototype of the TVC version (for the Indian market) of the EJ200 engine that propels Typhoons. Gobally with 5000 personnel and 1.9 billion dollar turnover, they are a big entity. Having...

I seem to remember it. But can’t put my finger on who it was.

According to BBC, Trump may have agreed with Putin to end war if Zelenskyy accepts below borders in second map. Current situation: BBC’s map
