Are any of the unmanned platforms being developed has the potential in terms cost effectiveness, sufficient firepower and armor to relieve some of the duties from MBT by changing the doctrines? Because MBT are supposed to help infantry advance by enduring serious fire and by supressing the...

Adding words to official dictionary sets standards and legitimizes certain things. You don't just let every random word into dictionary.

Where is it going, TF2000 Heavy Frigate -> TD20000 Air Defence Destroyer -> TC200000 Guided Missile Cruiser? :)

My mind went to cell tower triangulation, which requires 3 sources with a certain distance between them, that's my bad, but yes 2 points on a single device should suffice, depending on distance and resolution of sensors. Need to calculate the angle between vectors from two sensors to target, but...

This is not triangulation and you can determine distance with offset sensors from one system with a certain level of accuracy

Western carrier capable aircraft are F35, F18 and Rafale M. We can’t make a carrier based fighter before MMU matures. My earliest guess for actual AC if we could at all have one is 2045+.

What laws are those, specifically? And how do they effect other traditional munitions like cruise missiles?

Not mass produced medium to short term means 5-10 years, that's really not good news

I had wondered this question once especially for turboprops but the answer I found on internet was that while it can be done this way, it is not an absolute requirement for engines to rotate in different directions although control surfaces and stuff would have to adjust for it. In fact, after...

If a platform like Hürjet doesn't have enough energy generation within the engine for that radar, is it possible to add additional generators for radar like in a pod?

13 billion and credit, we'd need 113.

It's really not irrelevant, if it wasn't we could have made much simpler airframe like hurjet and call it a day

Let me do a rough calculation with wikipedia and other public figures. Unit price for F16 Block 70 is quoted at around 80 mil. 3.2 billion for 40 aircraft, I'd say 50 mil per kit for 80, considering a Block 50 was 18 mil in in 1998 and would probably be closer to 30 today. That's another 4 bil...

15 is said by Mahmut Akşit, so yeah.

This seems mostly old footage, by the way siper missiles were also tested at some point right? Wasn't there like a picture from a single cell?

I don't remember which interview but it was said that they found out KAAN's current landing gear was not fit for landing, so guess they are fixing that

So like Tf2000 hull but with no çafrad instead stuff like rotating EIRS?

Since it's almost same hull as Ada class, it will have open slots for same kind of weapons to be used if needed, but they will be left empty to reduce costs during peace time. So while it says it will have things like Hisar D or Atmaca these may be optional for that situation. It's almost like...

Like an Ada class slightly weaker more fuel efficient propulsion but longer endurance and lighter sensor & weapon load, I guess
