You can not wait for someone else to invent it for you. Italians used similar systems, I have seen pictures of it already. The difference is our TCG Anadolu is a multi-mission ship and keeping it fully armed at all times is not suitable. Siper can be used this way without losing any of its capacity.

I certainly do not suggest a land based system to be deployed on board the ship. I suggest launchers to be attached to the starboard side where the castle is outside the bulkhead. I have seen some ships like that, probably Italian ships but they maybe permanent installations. What I am...

Probably a good way of both arming TCG Anadolu with air defense missiles and not arming it is making the air defense add-ons portable. You only deploy the rocket launchers if the mission at hand requires it and keep the ship intact if not.

Given the weight ballpark value of 1200kg a wingspan of 15m is required for the TB3 if the design features of TB2 aerodynamics are to be carried over. However considering the runway length and whether the plane must take off under its own power or to be accelerated by cable a design change to...

With Turkey's self reliance policy the paradigm has changed completely. We will not rely on Germans or Israelis or Americans or the British for our defense. Even tiny Israel won't settle to rely on outsiders for defense. This makes our past arguments obsolete. That who makes us stronger against...

It will probably be another half decade before fully indigenous products are made. Nowadays we are still playing catch up in most areas in an effort to meet our national needs and make some extra cash taking opportunities to export our products. What matters is whether we cut the reliance on...

Probably a cable attached to the bow going over the ski-jump can be neater hiding the machinery somewhere at the fore marine deck. It can even be an endless cable running continuously rather than back and forth. This will use the front of the runway emptying the back end for landing.

"ludicrous drive mode" is Tesla Cars' fast acceleration mode, not that I am a fan of Tesla. With this I mean even a simple, fast electric car can drive this plane to take off speed as the possible additional acceleration margin is not huge if any. The car will not travel the whole runway and...

TB3 with 1200kg take off weight can either take off on its own power or a low profile electric car can push it to take off speed in ludicrous drive mode. In any case it shouldn't be a problem for it to take off from TCG Anadolu.

From 1200kg MTOW value I would say that it is a PD180 / PD222 powered, propeller driven plane. Anka is 1500kg with PD155, the remaining power margin goes to seaworthiness requirements.

Reporter needs more insight. Satellite resolution means objects bigger than the specified resolution dimension can be seen as one or more pixels. However the exact resolution is not given although the color resolution reveals that it is like 90-95cm or so.

LOL, Hürjet is not a VTOL plane, if a VTOL plane is to be made it will be something else.

From Ismail Demir's words I conclude that they are looking for a jet VTOL fighter and the way I described in my previous post is the only way we can make it with domestic resources within 2 years . Such a plane would be around 5 tons (mtow) and it better be unmanned. It can be supersonic and can...

a VTOL aircraft requires a special engine that acts both as a jet engine and a turboshaft engine. At least this is what F35B is like. However if you want to make things simple you can use two separate engines, one for jet thrust out the back and the other to drive the lift fan like propfan (high...

Thrust to weigh ratio must be critical, an underpowered plane may not be able to take off on its installed engine power alone. We had a precedence for a while now but it is no guarantie that some other plane will have the same performance. There must be a threshold or something otherwise our...

If the engine is powerful enough it can probably take of without catapult assist otherwise a Hürjet size electromagnetic catapult need to be installed. One that sits above deck without alteration below deck can possibly be developed, making us all happy.

What a sea launch platform could look like. https://spaceflightnow.com/2016/10/03/russias-s7-group-to-take-over-sea-launch/ https://spacenews.com/china-eyes-purchase-of-sea-launch-assets/ TUA chief has seen this platform in Ukraine and he believes Turkish shipbuilding industry can build one...

It will definitely have much longer range when it is dropped from high altitude. However speed will be slower as oxygen levels are lower at altitude which leads to poorer combustion performance. There are conditions that work for and against better performance. Combustion is poorer at altitude...

And the HIK radar carrier plane would probably be Akıncı which is the highest powered unmanned plane available.

Yavuz simply tripled the Ottoman land size, I love it. There maybe people who do not want Ottoman greatness, shame on them. I would rate leaders' strenght based on how much opposition they managed to overcome both in wars and otherwise and how much power they gathered for the nation both hard...
