It is irrelevant now! check out the latest news https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/iran-us-war-live-updates-trump-dubai-strait-of-hormuz-b2939098.html# Nato allies have rejected Trump’s call for help in Hormuz.

Place them on the LHDs in side-baskets like Italians do. You don’t spend target practice platforms costing over billions to carry Siper missiles. May be in time we will have more Tepe destroyers. But not now when we need to focus on our airforce. Hopefully. They have already cut Steel.

I am almost on your team. Since we have started building Tepe Class, there should be 2 of them in total. (Same with TCG Anadolu ; they should build TCG Trakya with an effective runway of 230metres operating arresting wires for KE and Anka-3). In stead there should be 4 to 6 x 5000 ton...

Bro, I am no naval engineer. But with little knowledge I have for sailing boats, I can say that downsizing Tepe like Milgem may not be possible. Tepe Class has design measurements of: 149m length 21.3m width 5.75m draught This gives it a tonnage of 8600tons. That width and draught gives it the...

Just check out the cost of Type 45 Daring Class destroyers of UK. According to below report in 2016 ,each ship cost 1.2 billion dollars. With today’s dollar that is 1.7 billion dollars. It hasn’t got as many VLS as ours . Infact 48 cells only. Tepe will have 96 cells. Overall they are very...

You are right. it is aselsan’s kit. the munition is probably MKE Mk 82 dumb bomb. Not roketsan! So it is up to Aselsan to sort it out.

My topic was laser guidance in general, not specific missile type. Laser guidance was invented by Texas Instruments in the 1960’s, to give pin point precision to guided munitions. It gives immunity from EW. It is ideal for hitting moving targets. The modern laser targeting uses pulse coded...

Pls watch @Soldier30 ’s post #2524 below to see US laser guided missile accuracy.

Compared to US laser targeted missiles and even MAM-L firings, this is a poor shot. Baykar needs to address this deficiency. On top of it this was a shot on a stationary target. Laser guidance normally is good for moving targets.

Bro, Electronic Warfare (EW) will have significant effects on both GPS and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) .As the name suggests it affects electronic equipment. Both GPS and INS contain electronic systems. GPS signals are weak signals and the electronic systems receiving it can be jammed...

That is false economy. It s not feasible to shoot thousands of 30thousand dollar Shaheeds with 3 to 4 million dollar AD missile each time. You would soon end up spending billions. Ukranians use 50 caliber guns fitted on to pickups to bring them down. We have a similar gun based system to...

All above posts are positive sides. If I become the devil’s advocate; Are kamikaze drones really that effective? Shaheeds in Ukraine have a hit rate of around 10-15%. Majority being shot by cheap gun systems. Only in swarm mode could they be more effective. Russians claim up to 45% success...

Flat-nosed, or "blunt," missile nose cones are designed to manage extreme aerodynamic heating by creating a detached bow shock wave, which pushes the hottest gases away from the missile's surface. Blunt Body Aerodynamics: By using a blunt (flat) nose instead of a sharp point, the shock wave...

THAAD uses a BAE Systems built IIR seeker. These seekers are used at the final terminal stage to pinpoint a target’s position. They are covered with heat absorbing materials and are made available at the last stage of a missile’s flight where the cover (the shroud) is discarded...

Brasil doesn’t really have any enemies.But the real gist of the matter here is being able to have access to nuclear power and nuclear technology, through which they intend to manufacture their own mini nuclear reactors to use in nuclear submarines. They have a huge country and a long shoreline...
