I would like to see semi-submersible type boats of ULAQ family. Which can hide themselves under the water except censors and can resurface when higher speeds needed.
Here is a report about the mentioned online meeting.
Building Greco-Indian Relations: GCT Participates In Webinar Discussing Joint Turkish-Pakistani Aggression - Greek City Times
by Paul Antonopoulos
7-9 minutes
At a time when Turkey and Pakistan are increasing cooperation to target both...
Hybrid powering makes advances in military technology.
In order not be in a situation as we are regarding diesel engines and transmissions today, we have to enter this technology heavily, now!
Use of mortar systems together with UAV and UGV systems seems to me to be a wieser choice instead of any manned operation with tanks or IFVs in narrow streets full of traps, hedges and trenches.
In general we should even discuss more the use of unmanned turrets for tanks as a step for unmanned...
Definetely. We need them all.
First we have to make a wise plan and define and decide our priorities.
To be able to produce them indigenously we need good and enough scientists, metalurgists, engineers and well educated technicians. This is the foremost prerequisite. It takes quite a long time...
I am very well aware that neither we are the ones who are going to decide, nor that this is the place for such a decision.
Said that, I truely believe that if they let one team to work on a hybrid ALTAY it will be ready to be compared on the test field with one of the already build prototypes...
With all due respect, which modern system is exempt electronic circuits, transformers and transmission lines?
Necessary precaution by EMP protection measures might solve such issues.
I remember that the job of developing an engine was given to TÜMOSAN. TÜMOSAN tried to find foreign engineering and ToT partners from Canada, Austria and UK without any success.
Of course, but why not invest MORE in newer technologies in which we may have the chance not only to reach but even to lead the way on equal foot than trying to reach their level in already mature old technology.
By no means it is impossible to design and produce 1500-1800HP range tank engine + differential compact and reliable enough to compare with German MTU diesel engine and ZF transmission of today.
The biggest dilemma is necessary money and time.
Even if we have enough money, the question...
MTU engine MTU MT 883 Ka501 used in prototype ALTAY tank is 1500HP , while proposed but yet nonexistent engine for second batch of ALTAY is 1800HP.
Tesla S has electric motors with 825HP. If we use 2 times more powerful motors for ALTAY it makes 1650HP. To supply such setup with necessary...
