Turkey requested since 2005 predator and later Reaper UAV's which never where answered by the US. So Turkey started to develop her own UAV's and later UCAV's. Now we do not need US UAV's anymore. Akinci UAV is evenmore advanced than Reaper, it will carry AESA radar and have a certain level of...

Is this the current Leopard 2A4 upgrade or previous (RBSS) upgrade?

Does anyone know the status of the BMC Karasu factory where the Altay tank was supposed to be build? The factory was planned to be finished by end of 2019 and start production begin 2020. Well we are almost mid 2020, where is the factory?

Goksungur OK, but what happened to Aksungur? No words from TAI, complete silence.

Nice question, but next to your question I would place another question. If these engines are suited for military vehicles than why aren't they used in the Otokar Cobra for instance instead of the Cummins engine? Otokar and Otosan are both part of the same mother company, so there is no any...

Hisar A has IIR seeker Hisar O has Active RF seeker

No only X-band!

Funeral was held yesterday in Qom for 11 Pakistani Zeinabiyoun fighters killed in Idlib, Syria. A further 10 Afghan Fatemiyoun fighters were reported killed in Idlib in recent days What are Pakistani fighters doing in service of Iran and fighting Turkiye? Why?

Yes that is the logical way as the replacement time of the Barbaros class would coincide with the TF100. I too expect that TF100 will be an LCS / multipurpose, somewhat bigger and heavier than I-class in the 4000+tonnes class. Kinda like the Belharra that is LCS+ with some airdefence capability

You make it sound as if Karayel was not purchased for political reasons which is not true, or not completely true. Vestel was tasked to make a UAV that was catapult launched (for the navy), Vestel made the UAV but it was not katapult launch able. I cannot say that the Vestel Karayel is a bad...

Nobody gives! It was purchased!!!! If not Thales it would be another supplier

Very unlikely, we have no submarines with VLS

Nice warning, like an advertisement

Yes this picture makes it clear. Thanx!

I would not think so, at that spot used to be the Thales Lirod MKII lightweight fire control radar / optronic director. The fire control for the fast forty twin gun on the back of the ship. So if it has to be a newer fire control radar to feed the back gun.

What is that?

What about the AVDS engine, several years ago there was Hema industries that proposed to build the Turkish tank engine, what happened to Hema industries? AVDS 1500hp engine https://www2.l3t.com/cps/products/1500_hp.htm

You are right bro, I did also a google measure on the Corlu airport runway, it is indeed about 330-350m from start to lift off Takeoff distance for F35B is 140m with ski jump and about 180m without ski jump

Sure loaded it would require a longer runway, but not 2km. The US predator doesn't need such long runways either, but with safety precautions etc. those are recommended runway distances. On aircraft carriers they use different runway requirements. The Akinci probably would have no problems...

I thought you were talking about the AKINCI and not predator and wing loong Check the AKINCI test flight vid from 0:35 on, take off is less than 50m
