Bro, @Anmdt had clarified few years ago that Istif Class had found its natural size and weight limit in TCG Istanbul. So anything bigger and heavier is not going to be Istif Class. Portuguese are looking for various classes of ships from 4000 tons up 5000 tons to 6000 tons; probably 2 each...

Is it worth to spend all that money to propel 6-7kg of HE round for a further 35-40km when you won’t be able to expend them as easily as conventional 155mm rounds? (300-400 dollars vs in excess of 100000 dollars at best)...

@BaburKhan , Whose carrier strike group you are planning to locate to attack? Around the world below countries possess these strike groups: USA, UK, France, Italy, China, India. (Russia only has one carrier that has been out of commission for years) All of these countries apart from Italy are...

This is the level of democracy in China. One party rule is not democracy. One man rule is dictatorship. China has got a lot to learn from Europe. If it weren’t for the cheap labour that attracted Europeans and western companies, China would still be struggling at the fringes of Asia. The very...

Exactly. I love his Symphony No 41 Jupiter. Somehow there is something about this and Beethoven’s 1st that sounds where classicism and romanticism overlap. Beethoven’s 3rd Symphony Eroica , 6th the Pastoral and the 5th The Fate and the 9th the Choral are real monumental masterpieces in amongst...

I like piano music , especially piano concertos. Beethoven’s 5th the Emperor, is my favourite. Chopin’s piano Concerto No 1 (especially the 2nd slow movement) is great. Mozart’s all 27 piano concertos are worth to listen. But my instrument of choice is Violin. Take Beethoven’s in D major; I...

It does help when your eyes are pleased, as well as your ears and soul. I too love classical music. And she does play it well.

This is news to me. If true, I stand corrected. But according to most related media it was believed that the ship was built to accommodate F35B jets. Hence the hangars and surface was covered accordingly. from Turkish Minute/Frankfurt dated Aug 21: quote: When construction of the TCG Anadolu...

Source for those figures pls?

TB3‘s main handicap was the avoidance of that big lift at the back, almost in the way of run way. Otherwise having gone through simulations and land tests it was ready to be tested on Anadolu. So far, with auto landing etc it seems to have succeeded. But it still is not ready for full operation...

As it is, it doesn’t seem possible. Yet as said above, if there is a will there is a way. Still, TB3 has the max load capability. But not the space to accommodate it. The only place available is under the belly (as I had mentioned earlier). Flir is a problem. It is up to the engineers to find a...

Bro, check my post in previous page #13462 Either 1 CAKIR or 1 ORKA can be carried by TB3 individually. Important thing is getting them integrated on to the UCAV and being able to take off with them. Also being able to land with them if we dont want to waste the munitions by dropping them in to...

That is criminal. It is totally against our constitution.

Tomahawk‘s is less than 10m. But if fitted with IIR seeker, it is 1-2 metres. JSM Kongsberg ‘s is 1m SOM is similar to JSM. Atmaca proved to be less than 3m. heck! Even Bora has hit it’s target within a metre. At the end of the day they need to be extra precise. (Remember over a decade ago SOM...

Flying so close to the water surface would create so much spray that it would mask it‘s radar footprint. It is claimed that at calm waters, this plane can fly at 0.5 metres above sea surface. Even a carrier with a radar mast as high as ~70metres can not see anything beyond 35km. As it is going...

Ground effect on wings allow aerial vehicles fly very efficiently when they are close to surface. But the plane needs to be as close to surface as technically possible. (Closer than the distance of a one wing span; most apparent effect is observed at less than half of one wing span.) To take...

Tayfun and CENK. Two hypersonic missiles that are amongst the most potent weapons of Turkish attack missile armoury. To hope for anti ship capability seems to be wishful thinking at this stage. I was also hopeful that these missiles would at least have anti ship capable versions. That would...

Thorium reactors can be designed to use thorium as fuel. In this format it is no different than Uranium fuelled reactor. Because Thorium 232 is transformed in to Uranium 233 with an addition of a neutron. But it can be set up to use molten Thorium salt as coolant as well as fuel. As we have...

That is a possibility. But if memory serves TB3 should have satellite communication capability. So as long as it can communicate with our satellites it can go 1000km and more (given max operational range is 1000nautical miles). But it has to be remembered that TB3 is not for force projection and...

This bird has a “stated” maximum payload capacity of 280kg. The day we can fit an Orka torpedo (220kg) under it’s belly or a CAKIR AShM (275kg without booster) , will be the day when this UCAV is going to be a monster advantage for the TCG Anadolu. Especially if it can can be fitted and take...
