Unmanned Hurkuş could be a great UCAV-interceptor solution. It can also carry armor-piercing ammunition, making it a tank and chopper killer under wings of fighters. While the armed UAVs serving in the world air forces have a philosophy focused on endurance, low cruising speed and air time...

We also have some very special conditions. First of all, the Black Sea to the north of us is a maritime zone under our control, restricted to the navies of non-contiguous countries, where the US and Chinese and western European navies cannot be based, but can only act through proxy forces. We...

The UK Navy is considering the possibility of divesting or early retirement of one of the Albion-class LPDs after HMS Ocean due to personnel and sustainment issues. Many European navies are facing similar problems. There are personnel problems, and most navies have not developed doctrinal...

In my humble opinion, I would like to remind that platform planning is not created by a few people writing on paper. Once you extend your scope beyond coastal defenses, It is a complex equation shaped by the geopolitical balances and dynamic conditions we are in. What matters is doctrines and...

Rather than launching a single stage missile vertically, two of the torpedo tubes could be sacrificed in favor of, for example, two 650-800mm special type launchers. I think the answers to the questions about why vertical launch is wanting are a little bit gray zone. I mean tons of speculation...

Concept: We are looking for something compact and cheap to operate. Design/Platform choice: Requirements that move the platform to another point. Production: At the end of the day, we start with the LPD and end up with the LHA, or the missile boat and end up with the corvette, or the corvette...

In my opinion, fixed-wing sub-cloud autonomous aerial vehicles capable of vertical take-off and landing have a huge market potential for the world navies next decade. As the current predecessor models scale up and their payload capacities allow them to carry certain naval combat/electronic...

Did you notice the detail in the first sequence of the video? According to legends, when the phoenix senses that its death is imminent, it retreats to its nest and covers it with an unknown liquid. The sun would then burn this nest and burn the phoenix. After being burned by the sun, it would be...

A smooth take-off and landing. It's hard to believe it was really the first takeoff of this plane. The difference in corporate philosophy between TAI and BAYKAR is evident in such details. At TAI, everything is perfect from the moment it first appears on the scene. But the first launch is...

SR-1 is a historic milestone for Turkish rocketry. This post actualy announces that the Turks have achieved the capability to send satellites into space with liquid-fueled rockets. The 300km apogee will improve rapidly year by year, but the important thing is that progress in this area is within...

When it comes to extreme speed and acceleration, the advantages offered by composite structure material classes become apparent due to the ship's tonnage, and hydrodynamic properties. Although there are some specific disadvantages in terms of initial production cost, service life and...

For emergency situations, its Ok you can push the engines and the ship, but I find it still incredibly high that ships of these dimensions are maneuvering with a standard full speed of 60 knots, as standard speed of deployment. Üstad, you know better than all of us what this means, don't...

I knew they'd say that one day. lol We're back to +++50 knots again. Or maybe the navy never backed down on that. lol. TTHB was a concept that everyone biased or unbiased and even a lot of really respected navy enthusiasts really saw as the optimum point. But for our navy, it is too slow. The...

On an experimental level, yes. GA has already landed its Mojave on a ship designed and operated entirely for fixed wing operations. I won't go into the difference between the two ships, ship is ship. lol. But still, my two cents to Bayraktar, their aircraft will be in active inventory first, I...

Here, the landing of the Mojave UAV on HMS Prince of Wales is shared quite clearly. The ship's flight deck is about 280 meters, and if I am not mistaken, Mojave is seen to come to a full stop under 170 meters, on the middle of the deck. Of course, in experimental configuration, which probably...

The model shown looks like it was printed, not molded. This is already used a lot in prototype modeling, but the idea of a micro drone that can be printed in the field doesn't sound bad.

While all officials have stated that there is no delay in the December 27 schedule, speculating on this issue without citing any sources is not journalism, but an attempt to undermine the success of the program. But this is a progress. Since last year, we have gone from the heater block(see my...

As oil production increases, crude oil-dependent industries will expand. This will cause the total demand for crude oil to rise above its normal rate. The break-even point of 1 million barrels may therefore be inaccurate. The number of refineries in the country will increase at the same rate...

Okay, that's clear. Probably an echo of the baseless speculation here.

Hermes team noticed a detail in this news. According to the Spanish media outlet, the two countries have agreed to work on a possible cooperation for a new medium-term joint submarine construction program. I have not checked the news source and have no idea about its reliability. The reason I am...
