Anyway, I didn't think my suggestion about the name would come to this point. lol. For me, seeing that 65.000-ton Turkish Republic Navy flagship in the water and experiencing that beauty with the eyes of the world is one of my biggest dreams. I also feel obliged to clarify something, even if it...

So in a possible war, you seem to have immediately discarded the aircraft carrier. Maybe we will win that war with the aircraft carrier that destroyed the traditional combatant organization of the enemy, don't be so sure that we can't protect it. Even if its name is Zafer (Victory), even if its...

After a couple of weeks, let's add the 7-8 most popular suggestions to the thread as a poll. @Sanchez

We have seen navy ships named carried the title of Ottoman sultans, but is there a special reason why they are not named after our national heroes of the Republican era? Atatürk is more than a national hero, he is the eternal leader of our nation, the founder of the republic and our first...

It should also be noted that Trakya and AC are not the same ships. In other words, in the mid-2030s, not 2 but 3 carriers with open decks for fixed wing air platforms will be in the navy inventory. An armada with these 3 ships at its center can carry roughly around 80, maybe over 100 fixed wing...

IMHO, the list shared by Cabatli Üstad is not a imposible thing for current capacity (the problematic part may be financing and subsystem procurement, not hull production), but in 10 years' time it will take on a very different dimension. The order books of many shipyards will consist almost...

On a 60k ton full scale aircraft carrier, I would expect to see a design that focuses on sortie density, such as an angled flight deck for simultaneous landing operations, and multiple flight lines that would allow more aircraft to prepare for flight at the same time... In fact, the...

We are entering a very turbulent period globally. Therefore, the development of countries' defense capacities will be the primary issue for about 20 years. First national security, then bread. If we can move KAAN smoothly into the FOC phase, we will have a real challenge in creating a...

In order to increase its global impact, the defence and aerospace industry should also globalize both its industrial collaborations and academic connections. Malaysia is one of the countries with the best academic infrastructure in the Asian region, with some world-renowned universities...

Turkey and Greece will formally join the German-led missile-defense project European Sky Shield The wind is changing direction? We are starting another joint military program with the Germans after years, let's see what comes out of it.

IMHO, a typical ASW vessel is a giant island of electronic and acoustic noise-maker on the surface. Radar emission can be detected at great distances, sensitive sonar systems can estimate the course. But the worst case scenario for a submarine is to be detected within the engagement limits of...

If they act in coordination in the Eastern Med, Israel and Libya; Egypt and Turkiye cannot be cornered by US on these common geopolitics issues. The collective power that possible Egyptian-Turkish alliance can limit the space for the great powers to act on our backyard.

I think Egypt-Turkiye rapprochement is not in line with the interests of either the US or Russia.

I am thinking that the Hydro-GIDS system could be reconfigured to be installed on navy ships. With two launchers, each with 4/5 ALPAGUTs**, E/O system, Radar mast, and communication antennas, it would be a great countermeasure solution for these kamikaze USVs. If power management can be...

NORINCO from China Unveils Cutting-Edge LD35 Air Defense Armored Vehicle at World Defense Show 2024 Chinese state defense company NORINCO has introduced the latest generation of its mobile air defense system, the LD35, at the World Defense Show 2024. The LD35 combines a 35mm automatic cannon...

Meanwhile, TAI's UAV division is designing a UCAV that will fly with the F110 or a similar engine. While we attribute a modest role to the ANKA-III... Probably the backlog of the KAAN program provides a very strong infrastructure for TAI's ANKA-X programs. TAI's most important achievement in...

Against the kamikaze boat threat, loitering mini-drones, compactly packaged and held in the launcher ready to fire, can also offer an effective solution. A countermeasure configured solely and directly against asymmetric threats from the surface. Since reaction time is a critical factor here, an...

If it materializes, it will be a really big export success. The Malaysian navy has recently been undergoing an important modernization process, and if we are able to receive the MRSS program too, we will be one of the most important solution partners of the Malaysian navy in this modernization...

Hi Nilgiri, since TEI and TAI are not listed on the ISE, their detailed balance sheets are not available in open sources. However, we know that TEI's balance sheet is autonomous from TAI's. TAI's announced annual turnover, excluding JVs, comes directly from the company's own operations. As an...

Üstad, as I wrote above, my main focus is on whether another layer can be added as an emergency-situation in the defense of main combatants cruising close to coastal areas against asymmetric elements such as kamikaze swarm boats. These unmanned kamikaze boats are probably the biggest asymmetric...
