More the case with the heavy capital of older generation reactors....as their costs were significant w.r.t westinghouse (US) vs French vs Russian. SMR's on other hand dont have same footprint in capital. They can also be distributed in the power grid lot more easily. That is why NuScale has...

Wonder which "friendly foreign country" this is?

Nah its not Canadian roundel (always has maple leaf - we love our maple leaf lol) Apparently its Singapore (less used) roundel, I am used to the one with the lion on it for them. But yeah without lion, its exact same as TurAF roundel. I guess Peru and couple other red/white flags have same...

Looks like Turkish AF will be there too @TR_123456 @Kartal1 @Yasar_TR et al. from the roundels on this patch.

Their heritage comes from the Casspir (south africa) if you look at history of Indian requirements and induction (then further production of MRAP inside India based on it etc). They have been further improved to deal with more sorts of IEDs that have been encountered since. I guess it offers a...

If the dry variant models are pretty much similar physically from what we can tell so far, I wouldn't worry about the AB addition lengths all that much. The GE 404 was design driven pretty singlehandedly by the F-18 "apex" versions/variants regarding this, so its AB is pretty long + robust as...

Looks like drones are becoming standard place in operations increasingly

Best arc was to just go for the FN FNC (given massive FAL deployment prior to it in IA), and make a local variant for it with all the production/export/upgrade rights from that point on etc....we would have had a great standardized+constantly upgraded platform by now. India could have easily...

Spadex created a thread:

I did quick calculation just now, with detonation velocity of 7km/s for TNT and using Kinetic energy is correlated to square of velocity..... twice the lethality means roughly sqrt(7^2 times 2) = 9.8 km/s 9.8 km/s compares favourably to the best out there right now...

Could be around 10 mil range, could be bit lower or higher, depends on the details. Here are 600 ton tugboats for USN costing about 14 million each: https://professionalmariner.com/navy-modernizing-tugboat-fleet-with-yt-808-class/ Indian navy 500 ton tugboats costed about 9 million each...

Lets continue the conversation in that Tengri thread? I'd also like to explore what @Yasar_TR mentioned, similarities in theologies search for truth etc in the various civilisations (from bronze to iron to modern age, once we figured out farming and had the time for civilisational...
