IMHO, AIP is unnecessary for mid-sized submarines like the Reis class. It is not worth the cost or the risks involved. Li-Ion batteries will provide enough underwater endurance. For heavier subs with VLS capability, the AIP system might be a good addition.

Koreans also chose li-ion(KSS-III Batch II). We should go that way. We can use Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries (200Wh/kg) that are safe for underwater use. If we want to be super extra safe we can go for Lithium Titanate (180Wh/kg). Medical tools have Lithium Titanate batteries because they...

Tomahawks can be launched from 533mm torpedo tubes. Tomahawks can also be launched from VLS.

SSB plans to put another 3 I class frigates on the keel after launching the first 3 I class frigates. This will reduce the time to deliver all 8 ordered ships.

5th gen F-16 is called F-35 and it is not a light fighter. Investing in stealth manned light fighter is stupid and no neither F-35 nor J-31 nor SU-75 checkmate is a light fighter. They are single-engine fighters. F-50 is a light fighter. If we go back in time F-5 is a light fighter even though...

Yeah at this point it is meme.

Russians mostly left the west of the Seym River. When I say Ukraine should fortify the west of the river I'm talking about capturing rest of the area and ceasing operations east of the river Ukraine also shouldn't move deeper than 30-40km as this will stretch the logistics thin. It will be...

There is no competition to Hürjet other than T-50 and T-7. T-50 production lines are full and T-7 faces delays. M-346 is not a direct competitor to Hurjet as it is not a supersonic trainer. This concept won't materialize as UCAVs will dominate the light stealth fighter segment.

Highly debatable numbers depending on what counts as interception. You can jam GPS/Glonass and the missile might fall 100 meters off target. Does that count as an interception?

Sisi cucked Erdogan this is the reality. Sisi killed Erdogans buddy Morsi and now he is here for the victory parade.

Ukraine should fortify the west of the river on the Kursk axis and try to hold on to the areas Ukranian forces captured. This will free some brigades Ukraine committed to the Kursk offensive. Ukraine should redeploy them to the Donbas front to stabilize the situation.

Refilling/refueling AIP is a difficult process comparable to refueling a space rocket. It needs specialized facilities and well-trained crews. Any mistakes and things can go wrong really quickly.

I expect Russia to break Ukraine in 24 months. Ukraine's eastern defences are cracking. By the way, I'm fully on Ukraine's side and I think the US should create a real functioning air force for Ukraine. Fighters should be operated by retired NATO pilots. This looks like the only way to level the...

Russians are holding an artillery advantage both in number of guns and ammo production. This is evident as they execute vastly more artillery bombardment missions than Ukranian artillery. Russian tank and armored vehicle losses are not sustainable but so are Ukraine losses.

Unfortunately, Ukrainians don't have enough missiles/long-range firepower to reduce Russian aviation to a manageable level. It seems Russians have enough fighter production capacity(SU-30,34,35, 57) to replace their losses. Russian Air Force took delivery of 24 fighters in 2023 according to...

The real problem is not tanks. Russians are ramping up the production of missiles, gliding bombs, kamikaze UAVs, and artillery shells. The accuracy of Russian missiles, UAVs, and gliding bombs improved greatly. I think Ukraine is moving towards a dire situation.

Anka-3 will change similar to Kızılelma prototypes. Engine section will be modified for RCS and antennas will change.

I thought that too but the paint on the Hürkuş is a primer paint. It might be a new production for export

Hürkuş II cameo appearance @0:30

Kara Atmaca carries ~100kg more fuel compared to Atmaca this amount alone is enough to carry the missile to a range of 250+km. FYI KTJ-3700 consumes 414,4 kg of fuel per hour at full thrust and sea level static conditions. 0.9 mach= 1100km/h at sea level. If you run the engine for 30 mins it...
