Let us get few facts that are not mentioned here : 1. UAV122 is a ballistic missile. It actually loses a lot of it’s speed as it approaches it‘s target. It should hit the target at a speed between 0.6 to 0.9 Mach depending on its angle of attack. But due to initial high speed and its small size...

If you have no other means of downing drones, then OK. At 60-65000dollar per hour (remember with extra tanks and refuelling, a typhoon can fly 9-10 hours) . That is well over 600thousand dollars, plus cost of munition, spent to shoot down slow moving cheap drones. If you have your UCAVs like...

I doubt it. Not same kind. But similar may be. TVC applied to the EJ200 engine by ITP Aero was 3D form. F22 has a 2D form TVC made from all the exotic materials you can think about. The F119-PW-100 engine for the F-22 Raptor, which includes its unique two-dimensional pitch thrust-vectoring...

If we have free rein over integrating our own munitions on to Typhoons, then the Cirit missiles will do the same job for us. (Using multiple Sadak accessories) That cost given in the above article, doesn’t mention if it includes the actual hourly flight cost of a Typhoon jet fighter.

Yes they could if they have retained the know how attained during their RR cooperation. Rolls Royce owned 45%of ITP Aero at that time. Then in 2022 they sold their share to a private equity company. Yet ITP Aero still remains as a major supplier to RR. But there is no such thing as a free meal...

A year ago German Chancellor Merz stated : "Turkey is an extremely important NATO partner for us. I will do everything I can to maintain and further strengthen Turkey-NATO relations. I will accept President Erdoğan's invitation to visit him in the near future." A year later EU Commisdion...

Dear members, please refrain from arbitrary generalisation about each nation and their affinity for one race/nationality or another. What state politics dictate and what individuals dictate could be quite different. Personal experiences do not mean you can use them for generalisation...

According to unconfirmed news it is claimed that a version of Hurjet is being considered to be used in the MUGEM aircraft carrier to be built during the course of next decade or so. Since Spain is buying Hurjet trainers, and the Spanish company ITP Aero had developed a TVC version of the EJ200...

That is why we and most Western engine manufacturers use single crystal turbine blades. They last longer. Because the creep degradation sets in much slower. But the high inlet temperature is not only specific to engines employing single crystal blades. Yet It is easier to attain higher TIT...

These are arbitrary numbers. It all depends on how well your cooling processes are applied and how good your ceramic coating is. Russian AL41 class engines use Directionally Solidified blades (NOT single crystal) but achieve a TIT of 1645+ degrees Celsius. Even as high as 1700 degrees Celsius is...

Nothing to do with not caring about it. From a technical achievement point they will try to obtain the technology whatever the cost. They decided to use 1st generation single crystal blades on TF6000, even though they had access to 3rd gen blades. Because that achieved the right results. GE and...

Single crystal turbine blades have brought the capability of having higher tolerances with which to work when designing turbofan jet engines. Directionally Solidified turbine blades were the start of this process. When molten metal is allowed to cool slowly it forms crystals. If you pull a...

Good insight. But to add, it has to be remembered that a navalised Gokbey can not carry 3 lightweight torpedoes like a Seahawk SH60/MH60. Also can not carry depth charges, sonobuoys and torpedoes all at the same time like a Seahawk. For Gokbey to be used for ASW and ASUW, it needs extensive...

Bro, Our problem is the engine for the ASW helicopter and the T925. With the Ukranian engine the helicopter is not really what the Navy wants. If we had the engine, we would have the rest anyway. Italians and the British use SNECMA engines. We wouldn’t want French engines. Navy has given an...

According to this information the MUGEM will be protected by 2/3 Destroyers, 3/2 frigates and couple of MILDEN subs. Also in terms of self protection it will have a 32 cell VLS, 4 x Gokdeniz CWIS and 7 x RCWS guns. (Hopefully - although not mentioned but shown - a couple of GOKSUR point defence...

https://www.hurriyet.com.tr/gundem/deniz-kuvvetlerinin-milli-ucak-gemisi-gelecek-yil-mavi-sularla-bulusmaya-hazirlaniyor-43155482 The commander of Naval forces has stated that the MUGEM will be launched next year. Even if it is an empty shell, that is really fast. I guess we will wait another...

https://simpleflying.com/how-eurofighter-aesa-radar-compares-f-35-an-apg-81/ An interesting and useful article outlining how good ECRSS-MK2 Aesa radar is. It actually gives the Typhoon a new lease of life in aerial combat. Even though F35’s Aesa radar is designed with a sensor fusion...
