Russians are encircling Pokrovks. Once Pokrokvs falls, Ukraine might be forced to order a big retreat.

I expect Indonesia to lower the priority of the KF-21 program and join the Turkish MMU/TF-X program. Indonesian authorities have been unhappy with the program for a while and Indonesia gives more and more contracts and importance to Turkish defense companies. I expect a MOU to be signed at IDEF...

Novohrodivka is not that important but Pokrovks is. Pokrovsk is a railroad junction and a logistical hub. Russian missile attacks get more frequent and they use more missiles and UAVs with greater success rates. Ukraine needs an airforce. Ukraine also needs long-range missiles like JASSM that...

From what i see, this looks like they are slowly finishing the concept design phase and moving to the detailed design phase. You don't do detailed hydrodynamic calculations for Propeller, bulkhead etc in the concept design. It seems Armerkom put real manpower behind the project probably...

It seems like the patrol boat only suffered shrapnel damage due to a small missile/rocket exploding just above the boat.

Sub-Atmaca training capsule prototype. Roketsan smart capsule concept The smart capsule will have its own propulsion, battery, mission computer, INS, and cruise system. The capsule will carry the missile to a predetermined launch spot the missile will be launched from that spot. Advantages...

IMHO, AIP is unnecessary for mid-sized submarines like the Reis class. It is not worth the cost or the risks involved. Li-Ion batteries will provide enough underwater endurance. For heavier subs with VLS capability, the AIP system might be a good addition.

Koreans also chose li-ion(KSS-III Batch II). We should go that way. We can use Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries (200Wh/kg) that are safe for underwater use. If we want to be super extra safe we can go for Lithium Titanate (180Wh/kg). Medical tools have Lithium Titanate batteries because they...

Tomahawks can be launched from 533mm torpedo tubes. Tomahawks can also be launched from VLS.

SSB plans to put another 3 I class frigates on the keel after launching the first 3 I class frigates. This will reduce the time to deliver all 8 ordered ships.

5th gen F-16 is called F-35 and it is not a light fighter. Investing in stealth manned light fighter is stupid and no neither F-35 nor J-31 nor SU-75 checkmate is a light fighter. They are single-engine fighters. F-50 is a light fighter. If we go back in time F-5 is a light fighter even though...

Yeah at this point it is meme.

Russians mostly left the west of the Seym River. When I say Ukraine should fortify the west of the river I'm talking about capturing rest of the area and ceasing operations east of the river Ukraine also shouldn't move deeper than 30-40km as this will stretch the logistics thin. It will be...

There is no competition to Hürjet other than T-50 and T-7. T-50 production lines are full and T-7 faces delays. M-346 is not a direct competitor to Hurjet as it is not a supersonic trainer. This concept won't materialize as UCAVs will dominate the light stealth fighter segment.

Highly debatable numbers depending on what counts as interception. You can jam GPS/Glonass and the missile might fall 100 meters off target. Does that count as an interception?

Sisi cucked Erdogan this is the reality. Sisi killed Erdogans buddy Morsi and now he is here for the victory parade.

Ukraine should fortify the west of the river on the Kursk axis and try to hold on to the areas Ukranian forces captured. This will free some brigades Ukraine committed to the Kursk offensive. Ukraine should redeploy them to the Donbas front to stabilize the situation.

Refilling/refueling AIP is a difficult process comparable to refueling a space rocket. It needs specialized facilities and well-trained crews. Any mistakes and things can go wrong really quickly.

I expect Russia to break Ukraine in 24 months. Ukraine's eastern defences are cracking. By the way, I'm fully on Ukraine's side and I think the US should create a real functioning air force for Ukraine. Fighters should be operated by retired NATO pilots. This looks like the only way to level the...

Russians are holding an artillery advantage both in number of guns and ammo production. This is evident as they execute vastly more artillery bombardment missions than Ukranian artillery. Russian tank and armored vehicle losses are not sustainable but so are Ukraine losses.
