Sorry, completely forgot about your requests for a good while. Was busy living my life. Though, here are some of the documents I've mentioned. Keep in mind that some of them are a few years old by now. It's a bit too long for me to translate the whole thing, but I hope machine translation will help.

Two big problems. First is that the military expects manned-aircraft levels of redundency for these unammed vehicles, which is unncessary. It drives up complexity and cost and are causing unncessary problems in development. Other problem is on ADD and their general program management.

https://defence24.pl/przemysl/umowy-na-ciezki-bwp-oraz-nastepcow-rosomaka-i-honkera The new Heavy IFV is based on K9 chassis, which is already in wide use in Polish forces coupled with ZSSW-30 turret of the Borsuk. There were rumors arround a possible cooperation between Hyundai Rotem and PGZ...

Is it known if the newly planned F-16V upgrade is meant only for the STAR recipients or a larger part of F-16 fleet?

So I've revisited the armoured vehicle archive and read the 2021 RFI posted by Nilgiri back then. https://defencehub.live/threads/indian-army-armour-archive.2751/post-82228 It seems like the initial 2021 RFI was still more or less "Make in India" program of foreign original model. I suspect...

From what I've read recently, I've seen claims that both of the DRDO next generation tank designs, namely Arjun Mk.2/FMBT as well as NGMBT are below 55ton threshold and would therefore meet FRCV requirements. I would like some confirmatioms on that part though. Even if it's not necessarily...

I see we're on the same page then. Guess what you've meant by "sensitive" was "sensitive German equippments". I've misinterpreted what you've meant was any kind of sensitive equippment in general sense, so had to point out that the Italian design incorporates equal-part sensitive equippments. I...

no

Well, a French idiot pulling shit out of his ass talking about foreign subamrines... not at all surprised here. Kinda. One should say it's even better. 212NFS is more of an Italo 212 design rather than a stripped down, downgrade 212. It's more about incorporating Italian components replacing...

Doubt. JF-17/FC-1 is a joint Sino-Pakistani program and there would obviously be provisions concerning the industrial workshare as well as restrictions concerning further usage of technology transferred to Pakistan, as well as those technologies derived from the program. This is modus operandi...

There's nothing to disagree really. It's just a hard fact that new fighter have become more expensive even accounting for inflation, all the while inequalities in global scale have increased and there's more competition in the market. Though, sure, if the numbers are right we'll see. If we...

You would know that two of the biggest overseas Flanker operators are India and China don't you? Apart from them, most international Flanker operators are those who've acquired them for a squadron or two. Comparing that to F-35 program of record, F-35 orders from Korea and Japan alone covers...

Those are some very optimistic numbers, especially for a fighter jet as large as Kaan. Sorry, not happening. Once more, very wishful thinking. Turkiye's edge in international arms market is supplying non-aligned, technologically advanced weaponery for relatively cheap price. This works well...

Sorry, this is absolutely hot garbage from start to bottom. Unfortunately generational text AI currently out there for consumer use are no good when it comes to military matter, or generally anything too technical. We'll see how Google and Microsoft's own programs would be which are known to...

Guess there's total silence regarding the Korean powerpack on two prototypes under evaluation.

I think T Link is a new national waveform compliant with the KEMENT terminal. Current KEMENT capabilities are focused on platform-munition weapons data link, but it was often stressed that the new terminal developed by Meketsan would have its ability further expanded in the future as the SDR...

It's called an oil-canning effect and is inevitable whenever you build a ship, operate them for certain amount of time. It is caused by various stresses esperienced by the sheet metal and you'll see oil canning even on relatively new ships, although the severity of oil canning varies from ship...

Are there any recent news about how the powerpack tests are going?
