Targetting bases /stationary targets seems to be the best Iran can do. It would probably be a big escalation if Iran managed to take out a Naval vessel from USN. So I think Iran can only target the gulf countries and should do it relentlessly to force the nations to prevent US from using the...

Are those extra fuel tanks ?

That's to be expected. I think what's just as important is the presence I mentioned. Our fishermen and citizens must be able to sail freely in all of our EEZ without being antagonized by adversaries. So either TCG needs vessels to be PRESENT, or TN must have more I-class Frigates. I think TCG...

New Caledonia declared a ‘state’ in autonomy deal, but will stay French Agreement allows the archipelago that endured unrest last year to be its own state but remain within French fold. French government officials and New Caledonia representatives at the Elysee Palace in Paris, July 12 [Tom...

Mainstream media isn't reporting on anything about Israel and Lebanon for a while now. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/11/us-lebanese-delegations-meet-to-discuss-israeli-pilot-zones-withdrawal Pilot area to see if Lebanese army can control it. imo it would be good if Hezbollah let the...

I think it was delayed due to no export permit to Pakistan. I really hoped we could provide T129 to PAF.

I can imagine, the challenge is to make it easier to patrol lowlands while the mountainous areas would require bigger military presence due to the dangers. Spreading out can be costly.

Unfortunately that is always bound to happen. Which is why I was thinking of digging a trench deep and wide enough to fill it with Water from the Sea. It would be necessary to do some trials to see how it works out and the effect on local area before expanding on such projects I mean if it's...

I couldn't find a thread about foreign affairs, so I made one. President Ilham Aliyev said Baku was considering full withdrawal from the 46-member organisation after Azerbaijan's voting rights in PACE were suspended in...

Seems like a nice OPV, is that 2x1 AShM, or Torpedo tubes ? The picture has 2x2 but model seems to have only 2x1.

But considering our standing in the Senate and House I think the outlook for that kind of cooperation is bleak. I very much doubt that we'd be building ships for our own Navy at all. And building to strengthen our adversaries who may en up using it against us doesn't sit well with me...

I am certain that the talks with GE hasn't been concluded, so where does Milliyets 48 engine come from ? We managed to get approval for 80 engines and that is including spare right ? I think it's stupid if we get anything less than all those 80 engines.

Let's not clutter the thread with off topic stuff. F35 was derailed a while back and it won't be solved quick enough to matter. Correcting and avoiding derailing is more important than continuing on a path playing chicken to see if it breaks as our politicians did. I find it amusing how...

I think Pakistan is doing the right thing. Make sure the refugee camps or whatever is not on Pakistan soil.
