I know this is off-topic, but I can't help saying two things about this east-west belonging: We are not Europeans. Even though we established states and sovereignties in Europe continent before most European civilizations even emerged. We are no longer Asians, even though our origins are Asian...

Üstad, this analogy is really inappropriate. We have no military alliance with Russia and we have a lot of conflict of interests indirectly from UKR to the Libya(where the special forces of the two countries have directly confronted each other). We also periodically hit Russian proxy units in...

Even the Hungarian parliament has a more upright stance. Another thing is that we saw once again how the parties that voted against Akp on the declaration on martyrs or, for example, on the blue homeland/crossborder military issues, in order not to appear to be standing side by side with Akp...

In the early 2000s, navy enthusiasts used to argue about the German and American school. Some advocated joint business models developed with the Germans, while others found the FMS channel and US aid programs useful. In the post-80s period, platform procurement deals with the French were often...

Since it coincided with TCG Istanbul, it was a bit overshadowed, but TCG Derya is definitely a tremendous ship. She is one of the best examples of her class in the world and will have a very strategic role in the future vision of the Turkish navy. I hope we won't have to wait long for sister ship.

So, as far as I understand, not the Bey Class LSTs, but the 140 class LCTs, which are derivatives of the EDIC class, will be decommissioned in the first stage. Also as a small , but I think it's a very important detail: With the retirement of the EDIC variant classes, along with the Engin class...

Maybe or not, but whole mess of problems and uncontrollable costs, and ultimately the death of the program. It did not even come close to the impact of the Ticonderoga class. Until DDX arrives, the US Navy will continue to want more Arleigh Burke-class on the slipway. I think the biggest benefit...

No, please. There's nothing uglier in the world that floats on the sea. Also, as far as I know, the practical advantages of this hull shape are still debatable. If there is to be a new approach for the navy with the TF-2000, my wish would be a propulsion system with the acoustic signature of...

The issue already well explained. The Swedish air force was envisioned as one of the first line for Soviet bombers in the Cold War-era approach. In other words, a doctrine was developed based on the assumption that in a doomsday war scenario in Europe, Soviet bombers would first flatten Sweden...

Akya mass production project: Range: +50km Minimum speed: +45 knots Targets: submarines and surface ships Guidance type : Active / Passive , Rudderwater Guidance mode: Internal guidance / External guidance via fiberoptic cable Warhead: Insensitive warhead with underwater shock effect Drive...

TCG Istanbul is much more than a warship. I know it is cliche to write about it all the time, but it is a real breakthrough. Our valuable members in the forum have written dozens of things about the reasons for this, maybe hundreds of pages could be written, but this importance cannot be fully...

The Gökbey helicopter, with its indigenous power group, could be the most suitable solution for the navy. Not the most ideal, but as cost-effective as possible in really large numbers. Instead of waiting until we have the capacity to produce the ideal, I am in favor of utulitizing the...

The reason I am sharing the specs of the improved and marinised Super Lynx is to showing how capable a navalized variant of the T625 can be. Two helicopters in the same class with similar MTOW and flight endurance, similar volumes, using the same powerpack range.

Mine countermeasure warfare. If 4 new generation MCMW vassels come with an early schedule as stated by ANMDT üstad, this shows that we will become one of the few most elite navies in the world in terms of platform competence, and we are already one of the top 3 navies in NATO in terms of expert...

First and foremost, this is not space travel, this is space politics. You are taking your first step on the ISS. When I say the first step, I don't mean that how will Gezeravcı float in ISS: you are carrying your scientists working in Antarctica, in Salt Lake in the field of microbiology, or...

Once this stage is passed, the real breakthrough could be the start of additive manufacturing in space, which could usher in an era of interplanetary access.

Not Issues, I misspoke, I was referring to speculations recently. I expect that RTE will say a few things in between the lines of his speech about the targets for the post MILDEN phases. Maybe something about nuclear propulsion for the first time... What makes me think so is the fact that RTE is...

All dressed up and waiting for the ceremony to begin. photo: In his speech, President will certainly once again underline the aircraft carrier goal. This time, however, he may perhaps share a few interesting tidbits about a speculated issues related to the MILDEN program.

The scientific studies list and their names that Gezeravcı will carry out during its stay in space:
