Re @Pokemonte13 I think he means because tolun spends more time in the air gliding the effect shouldn't be the same compared to teber which falls directly and has less time to correct its heading. I think its not necessary because of the iwb guided munition do not always hit their marks we have...

Aselsan's site says: TOLUN-P TOLUN P is a INS/GNSS guided gliding all up round ready 250 lb. weapon system carried on Smart Pneumatic Quad Rack (SPQR) (SADAK-4T) https://cdn.aselsan.com/aselsanweb-prod/documents/capabilities/products/brochure/tolun-p/tolun-p-en.pdf You should get your facts...

Bro, Afghanistan war was far too long. Without any clawing back funds available, it probably cost the US most. Iraqi wars have been very costly. First one they charged it to the Saudis and Gulf countries (plus it served them so well that at the end of it Japanese economy collapsed and German...

Yes, IWB releasing smart munitions, their accuracy can be adversely affected by : Severe cavity aeroacoustics, Unsteady shear-layer turbulence, and High-pressure oscillations. Lighter smart weapons are particularly sensitive to these dynamic forces . As they are leaving there is a danger of...

Can you please share the source too?

Teber 82 just about hits the target. But it is not really representative of a guidance kit that Roketsan states has a CEP of less than 3m. Teber is a guidance kit Specifically produced for precision hits. TolunP is a complete miss though! That is well within collateral damage area. Roketsan...

What is inside that container? TRG 300? Atmaca? Akya?

But interesting that nearly 300 metres away, the temperature is still 40 degrees C. At 15 metres from nozzle it is nearly 150 degrees C. That is a lot of IR signature. Also this has a lot to do with staff safety around those engines. So it must be taken stationary on tarmac. I wonder what values...

According to unconfirmed sources : F110 non afterburner/dry exhaust temperature : 600-700 degrees C Afterburner exhaust temperature : 1700-2000 degrees C F135 non afterburner/dry exhaust temperature : 600-650 degrees C Afterburner exhaust temperature : 1500-1700 degrees C So in reality there...

I appreciate TAF’s decision to increase munition stocks. We must have a reasonable quantity of all types of munitions in ready to use stocks. But it has to be remembered that all munitions have a shelf life. Electronic circuits may corrode and/or explosive fillings would age. These will have to...

As I have said before, to have a limited quantity of these I can understand. But to mass produce these in big numbers is not very clever. KGK version, yes! But HGK has a maximum range of 28km if released from 40000+ft altitude. In order to release this bomb you need total air superiority...

Wow! This is no different than medieval highway banditry. A gulf that is home to no less than 8 sovereign countries is being held ransom by 21st century brigands. Can you imagine Turkiye asking for 20% from every country that has shores in the Black Sea, to use our straits?

If so, what is the point? Yes, due to incompetent management of F35 programme and S400 debacle plus the greed of top management over Kaan ‘s engine development, we have made grave errors and fallen behind during the last decade. But now we are in the process of making amends. We just need to be...

Bro, do you have a source about these predictions? Or is it your own opinion? As of March 2025 it was stated that a firing test of a Gokdogan missile was carried out with an F16 Ozgur plane carrying Murad Aesa radar. https://www.defenceturk.net/f-16-ozgurden-test-atislari A year before that...

Guys, I know I started the conversation regarding on time deliveries. But no need to argue over it or take the mickey about it. The whole idea of this F110 engine saga was to do with timely deliveries. One would think that our officials would get a solid contract with heavy late delivery...

A turbofan engine uses many methods of cooling. The turbine blades have air cooling channels and ceramic surface treatments to help with temperature control. These have to be working in the prototypes. But the rest of the engine needs cooling as well. As well as the complete engine cooling; the...
