    That's why I said the requirement is what is missing, meaning we don't need it. But this is for the time being. If comes an enemy who targets us from a distance we will certainly need the best we can make. Also having the technology and not needing to use it is a small development cost to pay...

    That role was set in a different world, we need to adapt to a world that is based on speed of adaptation. I accepted there can be a small risk but you can as well eliminate the risk by limiting operations to calm weather. The opportunities are huge when you make it happen. Going forward we...

    Above surface arresting cables can be attached with no modification to the deck of Anadolu. Automation, in other words AI can enable enough precision to eliminate risk of collision with deck or with objects on deck. I would employ two Kızılelma on Anadolu if the mission can make use of them. It...

    You don't live in an ideal world where everything has a standard. You can make subpar engines that do not match GE practices and still make it work. You just need to do maintenance work more often. TEI didn't go into ship engines not because they technically can't but because of scale of...

    I have no doubt TEI will come up with an engine that will be 100% homegrown, they have all the technology that goes into making them. After your epic failure predicting TB3 not flying from Anadolu your words hold no value to the sharp minded. You are not alone in this either; some so called...

    Probably both homegrown and Europe cooperation can give results in roughly the same timeframe but it will be a surebet to go for both. Product development is not guarantied to result in usable finished products in time when you need them.

    Siper-3 is anti-ballistic capable and has 3-4 years to go into production while Siper-2 is air breathing target capable and is close to going into mass production. the 3-4 year gap to anti-ballistic capability is what makes SAMP-T and option to go after.

    My guesses Tayfun B1 600 Tayfun B2 900 Tayfun B3 1300 Tayfun B4 1800 Cenk B1 2500 Cenk B2 3500

    Cenk / Tayfun-4 truck is a long long truck and a big front part is covered with ancillary systems. The canistar part only covers like a half of the whole which seems to be less then the disclosed 10 meters lenght of Tayfun-4. So it is more than likely to be Cenk which has a longer range.

    Tayfun-4 looks long and slender while Cenk looks stubby, is what I gather
