    Turkey bought the S300 radar (from Ukraine if I not mistaken) in order to be able to train and learn about the S300 as several of our potential opponents have them. This purchase were never intended to be used in actual combat mission.

    Although similar, you can't really use the same equipment to produce electronics and PV. But more importantly and similar to my own case, the scientists and engineers can work on both. Also, Turkey already have IC manufacturing at 90/65nm node if i'm not mistaken. Work on that started in 2011.

    Cakir will most likely be followed by HKG-84 released from Akinci, will give any ship a bad day. Cheap and effective so no need for SOM-J or even Atmaca. .

    That is a very strange computer game scenario where you get super powers after being hit. In real life, ships don't get stronger after being hit by a missile. The ship simply cant charge ahead with a broken leg like you see in the movies. In this case, a hole 1 meter above water line would be...

    Most likely, those are accelerators/transducers to measure vibration in different parts of the fuselage when placed on a vibration table. Shock and vibration is a standard test for most environmental test suits, specially military standards. They want to avoid self-resonance in parts of the...

    You dont need to sink the frigate as any ship hit by 100kg of HE just 1m above the water line will take the ship out of service for long time.

    They would most certainly use additives to absorb or diffuse incoming radar. It is not too difficult as a lot of RF engineers use similar materials to reduce EMC.

    When we develop product then we use Ax, Bx, Cx... series for alpha, beta series before production where x stands for unit id of the same design. A, B, C, ... will be different revisions of pre-prodution series. Later we go over to Sx or Px series to indicate that it is a production unit. So...

    It literally can be anything at times like this. For example, at work I have to wait +1 years to order some old Spartan 6 FPGA for our production. Some other parts, we had to buy a stock of second hand used parts from 2013. The worst part is that the price is 10x the normal price for certain...
