    Turkish Defence Industry Exports & Updates

    Even if you can measure all kinds of environmental conditions, small differences in the powder can still affect muzzle velocity, so it's useful to be able to use the muzzle velocimeter to see when rounds are going faster or slower than usual because then for the rest of the rounds you can adjust...

    Turkish Peace Operations in Syria (Operation Olive Branch) Updates & Discussions

    OB is advancing very fast today. Seems it was true that the operation was going slow on purpose and now they're rushing to capture as much as possible before Assad forces arrive in Afrin. Most likely it was a condition of Russia's support for OB that TSK/TFSA wouldn't attack Assad's forces, so...

    Turkish Small Arms Industry | Updates and Discussions

    Sorry for my tone but this is the 10th time the same thing is being repeated about the MPT. The HK416 is an M4 derivative, so pretending like it's some original and innovative rifle and the MPT is a clone is insulting - why should a German tweak of an AR be considered original while a Turkish...

    Turkish Unmanned Vehicle Programs

    I agree but a rifle type weapon wouldn't be very effective. A grenade dropping drone, though, would work very well. If the grenades were stabilised and the drone had environmental sensors to calculate trajectory it could drop them accurately onto the enemy from high above, 500m or more. One of...

    Altay & Turkish Main Battle Tank Programs

    Can anyone confirm - the PM was talking about Leo modernisation, not Altay, right?

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    What a shame. I'm sure TAI's aeronautical engineers were reading your every post. After all, aeronautical engineers love being told what to do by uneducated IT plebs. Better go back to the OliveBranch thread and pretend to tell TSK generals how to do their job there. I'm sure they've paused the...

    Altay & Turkish Main Battle Tank Programs

    You can easily identify someone talking from their arse about tanks when they start talking about "shot traps". For modern APFSDS rounds and armour, the angle necessary for ricochet is less than 7°. For the latest penetrators it's probably about 5°. Sloped armour has only been used on relatively...

    @cabatli_53, this thread looks a lot like Afrin right now.

    Turkish Peace Operations in Syria (Operation Olive Branch) Updates & Discussions

    What? Legionnaire makes hillbillies look like MIT professors. Sadly there are plenty of gullible people out there who think that just because someone is being fiercely critical and has a veneer of knowledge, they must actually be knowledgeable and worth listening to. That's the fallacy...

    Turkish Peace Operations in Syria (Operation Olive Branch) Updates & Discussions

    There are reports that Turkey has resumed support to Idlib rebels. Given the fact that manned air operations over Afrin have slowed to a trickle for 3 days, I hope this doesn't mean the agreement has collapsed. Could also mean Assad is not being a good boy and listening to Moscow like he's...

    Hurshid's writing style is a bit different. Even when he tries to hide it you can still tell it's him. His English isn't that fluent either. This is some other troll entirely. I hope Hurshid does come back though, it would be funny watching him and Legionnaire try to out-stupid each other.

    What a coincidence you "got bored" of this forum at the same time you were banned for calling the Prophet Muhammad a paedophile and for insulting people. You were also banned from trmilitary for similar reasons - you don't know what you're talking about yet you make BS claims and insult people...

    @cabatli_53 It's this guy's first day back after his ban and already he's spreading false info about TSK operations in Syria and insulting people.

    I didn't make any such claims. Stop spreading BS on this forum about how many UAVs we're using.
