Well for a tanker drone you want to maximize payload and have it stable as the fuel amount drops while it is refueling and matching other jets pace and movement. So a flying wing may not be suitable
Well signal receivers can be fried when they are exposed. But if there is no receiver you can shield the components because signal is carried in the cable
Even then it has only enough to fill the 21 slot on each ship and leave very little sparea counting the ones on the launchers, probably enough for just 1 ships worth of spares. Wouldn't last in an actual war.
If its either 1 lhd and one ac or 2 lhd, rather have the ac as well, and support lhd with Bayraktar class. At the end you will always have the capability to do both landing and send some aircraft to support them if one is not available, but you won't have 100% capability all the time
Looking at KFX and recent acquisitions of Indonesia, they clearly have severe mismanagement and have no idea what they are doing. I doubt they would fulfill their partnership responsibilities if involved.
Tai can make a different fighter with experience from hürjet but many of the discussions here are based on conjecture. Hürjet light attack version can certainly be useful but not the same as a full fledged fighter. Those many modifications you mention may just not he possible or financially...

Greece, Egypt, Uae, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Israel.
Heck romania is getting F35
My dream is navy and air force agree on training a small special joint force for future of naval aviation. Like a group of 10 naval officers training on Hürjet and later developing navy version of Hürjet light attack version and maybe even train on F16. Those pilots and technicians etc should...
In a situation where we are already lacking in both new MBT and behind schedule in MBT modernization the least we could have done is make sure the other armored vehicles and ifv are modern and and ready in large numbers, the one class where we don't have issue producing. For once manage a...
Hisar OPV are gonna be the major addition I think. Relatively cheap platform for long endurance open sea patrol, larger than our other patrol vessels but not full corvette. Most useful for adding capabilities for peacetime. TF2000 and actual warfighting capability increase is different ofc.
Problem with a lot of methods like ins and dead reckoning etc. Is errors accumulate, meaning, unless you use another thing to periodically determine your global position, you will keep going off the mark slowly and steadily, which gives you a maximum range before you get lost. Terrain mapping...
