Single crystal turbine blades have brought the capability of having higher tolerances with which to work when designing turbofan jet engines. Directionally Solidified turbine blades were the start of this process. When molten metal is allowed to cool slowly it forms crystals. If you pull a...

Good insight. But to add, it has to be remembered that a navalised Gokbey can not carry 3 lightweight torpedoes like a Seahawk SH60/MH60. Also can not carry depth charges, sonobuoys and torpedoes all at the same time like a Seahawk. For Gokbey to be used for ASW and ASUW, it needs extensive...

Bro, Our problem is the engine for the ASW helicopter and the T925. With the Ukranian engine the helicopter is not really what the Navy wants. If we had the engine, we would have the rest anyway. Italians and the British use SNECMA engines. We wouldn’t want French engines. Navy has given an...

According to this information the MUGEM will be protected by 2/3 Destroyers, 3/2 frigates and couple of MILDEN subs. Also in terms of self protection it will have a 32 cell VLS, 4 x Gokdeniz CWIS and 7 x RCWS guns. (Hopefully - although not mentioned but shown - a couple of GOKSUR point defence...

https://www.hurriyet.com.tr/gundem/deniz-kuvvetlerinin-milli-ucak-gemisi-gelecek-yil-mavi-sularla-bulusmaya-hazirlaniyor-43155482 The commander of Naval forces has stated that the MUGEM will be launched next year. Even if it is an empty shell, that is really fast. I guess we will wait another...

https://simpleflying.com/how-eurofighter-aesa-radar-compares-f-35-an-apg-81/ An interesting and useful article outlining how good ECRSS-MK2 Aesa radar is. It actually gives the Typhoon a new lease of life in aerial combat. Even though F35’s Aesa radar is designed with a sensor fusion...

A Reis class section 50 was manufactured in Gürdesan Shipyard. I wonder how good and satisfactory that exercise was! Giving work to subcontractors like these can be an option. But as the size of ships in question increase, as you mention, the tolerances become more of an issue. Provided they are...

Source for this figure?

Everyone is talking about Israel pulling the strings of Trump and US being manipulated by the Jewish lobby in US etc. No one is mentioning how long this can last. There is a; Midterm elections in the US this autumn: They occur two years after each presidential election. Elections are held for...

Golcuk is experienced in submarine manufacturing Which is a very specialised technology. But as certain parts and blocks are manufactured by the eco system they have set up, under their watchful eyes another production line elsewhere can be set up. Our @Anmdt can enlighten us better about this...

You are correct. RR current commercial SMRs use LEU. But they are investigating the HALEU usage. US predominantly use HALEU fuel in their SMRs. .

If I remember correctly we were looking in to RR compact reactors that were HEU type which are suggested for Aukus program and are used in Astute and Trafalgar class SSNs. Also there were discussions with US regarding compact reactors, which I believe also of HEU type. Both these reactors are...

If we had the money and didn‘t need other platforms like frigates and helicopters, I would love to have 4 or even 6 of these Tepe Destroyers. But 2 x 5500ton frigates can easily perform all the duties of a Tepe Class with similar fire power. This way you don’t put all your eggs in one basket...

You have written it so well that it is not possible not to agree with it. But there are few issues I can’t stop from pointing out. Do we really need to expand a sphere of influence by military means? We are no longer an imperial power. We don’t want to be an imperialistic country. Besides, that...
