Nobody knows for sure of course. These things are classified for a reason. But we can spaculate as defence enthusiasts. Here is S band Chenk's range and performance. https://wwwcdn.aselsan.com/api/file/CENK_ENG.pdf Now, if Chenk consist of 4000 T/R modules (as advertised) and has a detection...

When it comes to Taiwan/SCS, I actually think time only favor PRC. The later it is the better. Despite its problems China is growing into the world largest economy and PLA is modernizing exponentially. I mean PLA of 2010 and PLA of 2024 is very much different across all domains. Sure, United...

You are right, I know. This type of James bond style hit on a head of state is not practical today. (Even though technically very much possible.) But I can't stop entertain the idea. Specially when it comes to Assad, he is no less evil than Netanyahu. Caused so much suffering and horror.

I did not say terrorist acts committed by Hamas members is excused. I am just pointing to the fact that, Hamas and ISIS are not ideologically and practically similar. Add to that, some of the crime can be attributed to angry armed mob and criminals that entered from Gaza later. I don't want to...

That's not the same.

Chances are, this is nonsense. @Windchime @Chocopie

@Kartal1 I always thought what if through a highly secretive assassination program MIT takes out Hafter and Assad? They are literally the head of the snake. I don't think their system is coherent enough to hold out after they are killed. Leading to a rapid internal friction and subsequent collapse.

This new all-black paint looks badass.

I wonder what Chinese strategic thought process behind picking fight with both USA+its allies and India at once. Are they that confident? Wouldn't it make much more sense to permanently resolve the border dispute with India and soley focus on Western front. There can be legitimate case be made...

Apperantly, it is short K-VLS and K-SAAM.

Altay in its current configuration is still very much a relevant platform. We really need to stop saying it is/will be obsolete. What revolution next gen design that people think would brink? it is feasable to upgrade T1 with RF Jammer, as well as with some networking with APS radars/off board...

I thought that too, but then realized, wouldn't that require cutting main hull?

What? Yes, it is a comparison to point out that this is not as easy as @Zafer saying. Advanced computers sims doesn't solve all the problems and difficulties.

Yeah, but it's not about hitting the temperature only, is it? China Had all the computer simulations since 2010. After billions of dollars and decades of research they are only reach 4000 hours lifespan with their WS-15 in 2024 so far. While F119 delivered in 1997 has 8000+ hours lifespan.

Point is, putting enemy assets within reach and at risk. Whether through encirclement (in case of USA) or with A2 AD strategy (in case of PRC) with different objectives in mind for both countries. US objective is to not let China out of the first island chain. While Chinese objective is to not...

Islands are small. Less place to maneuver and hide. Unlike the Chinese main land. Yeah, and China covers the whole region extensively with its own AShM and long range precision strikes. Does that mean the US fleet would be destroyed easily? No. Same is true with PLAN fleet. These things are...

Buddy, you have to wait at least until having a working prototype in class to claim that, Türkiye can already make better engines than F110.😅

Well, one can say, those island installations can be even more easily taken out by PLA rocket forces and PLAAF as they are fixed and assembled in small places. High intensity multi-domain conflict is never so straight forward. There are pros and cons of both countries' force posture...

It is hard to deter superpowers in their own backyard. USA can only do that due to its superior naval and air capabilities and persistent presence. (I.e carrier strike groups and bases in Philippines close to South China Sea) It won't take that long, maybe a deacade until USA looses its regional...

The music is mesmerizing. House of KAAN's first teaser! It's a glimpse to a beautiful and glorious story that continues. And let it be....
