It is good to see that other companies are working on the Ramjet technology. But this is not much different in terms of ramjet, to what Tubitak and Roketsan are working on. OK, they fired from ground to air and activated the ramjet. Tubitak and Roketsan will probably test (if they haven’t...

All posts related to 6th generation fighter aircrafts have been moved to https://defencehub.live/threads/sixth-generation-fighter-aircrafts.21492/ Please carry on discussing it there.

Dear members, don’t you think this argument/discussion has been going on long enough? It is clear that you are not going to change @Pilatino ’s mind. He is well anchored with his ideas. I think it is time to agree to disagree. Otherwise the thread is being cluttered with this idea being repeated...

Is that why submerged submarines can go faster and longer? You need to study aqua/hydrodynamics for submerged vehicles and their drag coefficients and cavitation effects. If you are designing under water vehicles, you design them with a shape that will make their movement to be most efficient...

We should first come down to Earth and not allow what we are building to go to our heads. Proof of the pudding is in the eating. Let us first get this bird to fly with all possible bells and whistles we can furnish it with. We don’t even have a final prototype that can fly. All we are talking...

In addition to the cost factor, the main purpose of a USV is to be stealthy. Their size and low above-water-line silhouette plays a great role for them in satisfactorily performing their job. A hydrofoil would have a much bigger radar signature. Semi submersible or just below waterline USVs...

Regarding the Aesa seeker, will see when the missile is shown to the public. At the moment there isn’t much that has been publicised. Regarding the liquid fuel of Ramjets, we had discussed this in detail before several times. Liquid fuels are no good for these missiles. For one thing you can...

It can be tracked and targeted. Typhoon Tranche-3’s ECRS-MK0 radar already can do that. The new ECRS2 radar will have that capability and more. Same is valid for the radars on F22 , F35 and f15EX (for a target of 1m2 RCA) In fact they can track enemy planes from much further than 200km. Some...

That first statement is the most important part. If the engine development is completed then the missile is almost ready for testing. The solid fuel powered Ramjet motor is the most sensitive and difficult part of the project. Well done Roketsan! With that sort of range under its belt, even...

Here is the answer given on line: A test block in submarine building refers to a representative section of the submarine's pressure hull or other critical structure that is manufactured and rigorously tested to validate the materials, welding procedures, and quality control processes before...

The TB-3 has given this vessel the much sought self defence and assault capability that it really was partly lacking due to the navy not heaving enough navalised helicopters. The second hand AH-1W attack helicopters taken from the army are so old (nearly 40 years) that they should really be...

A detailed explanation to your question is best to be given by an aerospace and aircraft design engineer. Since I am neither, as an engineer and an enthusiast of flying machines, without going in to too much detail, I can simply say that a diamond wing is best at lower speeds and a delta wing is...

A "Loyal Wingman" drone is an autonomous or semi autonomous drone designed to fly alongside and support a manned aircraft, therby acting as a force multiplier. It has basic responsibilities: Manned and unmanned teaming - MUMT Advanced AI application and thus, autonomy capability Versatile...

We are all discussing on conjectures over an idea that was thrown in few years ago by Temel Kotil. He said something along the lines of “there would be Anka 4 to come yet. There will be a supersonic version.” looking at Anka-3. Since then everyone has been guessing what this Anka-4 can be...

According to GCSE Physics and Computer Science specifications, signal latency is defined as the time delay between a signal being sent from one point (e.g., a transmitter) and when it is received at another point (e.g., a receiver). Most times a signal may hop several times to reach its...

Bro you are correct about what you are saying ; but only partially @Zafer is correct in the matter of extended latency. The total up and down distance covered for the geosync satellite is around 76000km, resulting in a minimum theoretical one-way delay (latency) of about 250 milliseconds (a...

You are Right. That is what the legislation dictates. But this is a matter of life and death for the likes of Germany. No army in Europe have the stamina for a sustained war like Turkiye. No army is experienced enough and has the manpower to sustain a war of attrition and to support it with...

Bro, that is a a far fetched wish if you ask me. Not all Western countries are humble enough and have the humility to work with a “Muslim” and supposedly “inferior in technology” country like Turkey. Not every western country is a Spain! Italy has only started to work with Baykar after a de...

As you say better than “current” KF-21. In fact KF-21 is what f35 should have been. A twin engined fighter. For future it needs IWBs and two stealthy indigenous engines and a more powerful domestic Aesa radar with may be a bit more power than the one being produced by Hanwha using ~1000 GaN TR...

I was never supportive of TF2000 destroyers, for the simple fact that they were far too expensive and too big for what we need (They would be great target practice pieces in Sea of Islands). Also the loss of any of these would be devastating. But having started building one, it is only feasible...
