What the heck is this "M241A"? Is it a laser system (the Tubitak developped one?)

There is a general misconception about the altitudes of UAV's 40,000 feet is the ceiling that the UAV can achieve and usually she would fly operations at less than half of her ceiling height. Anka UAV for instance can fly at a ceiling of 30,000 feet but her operational use is mostly at 10,000...

Well we do have some info: But more promissing for the Turkish FAC program I regard the MRTP65 that is in development with Yonca Onuk shipyards, that is more or less like the Swedish Visby class:

The main problem of the Milgem is her armamend. Turkey is quite late in developing missiles and torpedoes. At this momens there are several development projects running, like SAM missiles, torpedoes etc. they will mature in 5-6 years. China already has all of these and can deliver a complete...

Well if providing LPI radar technology is zero substance than what is stopping Pakistan to pull out of the agreement, nobody is forcing you at gunpoint.

The negotiations are in far stadium but not concluded yet. Because the Pakistani Perry frigate is an FMS purchase they need US permission, which seems to have been given. Signature may follow during IDEF 2011.

Just give me one example of an Islamic country where politics and Islam are mixed, that is not phucked up (excuse me for the expression). The same counts for Christian countries, try to run a country by clerics without phuckin it up. Heck even in the beginning of Islam it did not work...

Again we disagree, Allah gave us brains, the example (Quran) and is expecting to manage ourselfs instead of waiting for messiahs. I am astonished by the inferiority complex you have on Muslims. The way is not to ruin Islam by politics. As long as Islam is used by politics you will never see the...

It's not for justification, it sheer fact. Religious sects are battling eachother and all claim the other one is not following the perfect Islam. Both sides claim it's OK to blow up the 'infidels'. Who is winning when Muslim battle eachother? Who is deviding Iraq into Sunni and Shia areas, the...

Stripping away what? Having a secular political system doesn't strip away religion, where do you gather such extreme views from? Turkey is the Muslim country that has more mosques than any other Muslim country on earth (including Iran which is a theocracy) and religion is more open and free than...

In the first 10 years the US won't give source codes, that's for sure. It is not a matter that the US doesn't want to share but more to keep the secrets of the tech leaking out to China and Russia. After 10 years I think there will be some kind of sharing involved (happened in the F16 program too).

I guess many here will disagree with me but secularism (keeping state and religious matters apart) is a must if one wants to avoid a constant 'religious civil war' in a country. This doesn't count only for Muslims but Christians as well (unless you have only one branch of the faith in that...

Well Turkey is not particularly "succesful" if one counts that we have been reduced from an empire to state in WW1. Turkey is the last 20 years again in rise economically and technologically but far far away from past glories.

1) This is a strange assertion, no any nation is that fool to replace better ship by lesser ones. Ofcourse the TF100 will be better than Meko's 2) Well the food for thought is not hard to explain, we have only the Milgem so many people assume the TF100 will be an extended version and maybe it...

So you are in the design team? Fine, more easier for you please show the design. Listen dude, you speak out your assumption as if it is reality but in fact you don't know anything. TF100 has not even entered conceptual design phase, as is right now she is the idea project what the navy wants...

You are contradicting yourself, you say there is no assumption and than you say the frigates will probably have the front hull extended. Well that's an assumption my friend. If they are not assumptions, you know for sure and there must be a design of the ship available. Please show me the...

1) You are still calling airdefence missiles offensive while difference is mostly range 2) No to all of your assumptions, since the TF100 is still non-existent and weapons pack have not even chosen yet 3) Again pure assumption, you can only compare the main tasks as the TF100 is meant for...

Turkey exports mainly armored vehicles, MLRS + rockets, boats, aircraft + engine parts, simulators, modernization projects (M113 modernization of Saudi Arabia, F16 modernization of Jordan, Pakistan), electronic equipments. With the pace of Turkish defence industry growing and development...

No, 4 of the OHP's with limited modernization (only Genesis battlemanagement system + some minor modifications) will continue to carry the SM1 missile. Secondly there is no such thing as "offensive" airdefence missile, all airdefence missiles are defensive like their name says. What you...

OHP tasks and TF2000 tasks are much different, TF2000 is not a replacement for OHP. The OHP are used as escort and ASUW with a limited airdefence in other words multipurpose just like the TF100 is meant to be. ESSM is also airdefence (medium range). To recap : OHP + Meko 200 replacement on...
