    Turkish Unmanned Vehicle Programs

    Baykar advertises the TB2's specs as 24k ft. In any case, max altitude depends on a lot of things like payload, fuel load etc. We do know the TB2 can reach 27k ft with its EO payload so this brings it pretty close to the MALE class but I would say it doesn't quite reach MALE class because most...

    @cabatli_53, this pathetic lifeform is itching for another ban.

    Looks very similar to the Kirpi ambulance version from IDEF:

    Turkish Missile Programs

    Good point. One thing to bear in mind is that, unlike Turkish, most words in English are taken from other languages: Anyway, I think if Turkish industry wants to expand to be huge like Korea, it will have to start marketing better. Use words that can be pronounced by, and sound good to...

    Turkish Small Arms Industry | Updates and Discussions

    1. Germany hasn't selected a rifle yet. 2. The MPT-55 carbine is lighter than the HK433, at 2.9kg. 3. One country's requirements aren't the same as another, so Germany's eventual selection of the HK433 wouldn't mean what you're saying it means. 4. You're comparing a 5.56mm carbine and a 7.62mm...

    MTCR only applies to UAVs that can carry more than 500kg payload, so the TB2 isn't included in it. Same with Anka.

    2 different missiles with the name Mizrak? What the hell is going on with marketing over there.

    Yes, smoke works, so do other passive countermeasures like Shtora.

    S-400 purchase will restrict Turkey's access to NATO technology, US official says

    You have a few mistakes here. "This radar system is effective in its mission in virtually any position" - your own quote clearly contradicts this. It's only effective in the launch or the terminal stages, not in between. Secondly, "early warning" isn't enough to defeat an attack - you need to...

    The Fight against PKK Terrorism

    They must've searched for years to find one of their women that didn't look like an angry deformed potato. This is a big loss for the PKK due to manhours lost in that search.

    The Bradley is also aluminium. And they'd have a lot more trouble against tanks that aren't 20 years behind and downgraded export model. There are countermeasures for wire guided ATGMs as well.

    Akinci & Aksungur and Turkish Unmanned Fighter Aircraft Program

    Nothing unusual. The Saudis often spread their purchases around to different countries, including buying the same type from different countries.

    The planform is old and no longer accurate. Although long, it will be slender for its length.

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    The wing area is close to that of the F-22, and more than double that of the F-16, even though the size and weight are similar to an F-35. This thing is gonna be a beast. I wonder if the engine specs are dry or wet thrust though. If dry, it implies they're going to use a RR engine because the...
