What can the ITP offer for the making of the TF35000 engine at this stage: Design work is already almost done; prototype is expected to be ignited in a year's time. Production work share seems like a natural ask if Spain also wants to be a partner in the Kaan project.

I am guessing you can launch to any orbit from any location on earth if you want to bear the burden of carrying extra fuel to maneuver is space. With reusable rockets being able to land back to the launch site and upper stages being able to be steered to safe drop sites you only need to account...

He failed to say that an equator launch site will launch 43% more payload to orbit than the Igneada launch site with the same rocket because of bigger rotational velocity of Earth at the equator.

Flaps are used to increase lift of the wings; you lover the flap on the side of the wing where the load is heavier. Flaps and ailerons are similar but flaps are positioned inboard while ailerons are positioned outboard of the wings. So when you drop an IHA300 from one side you lover the flap on...

Probably, a more powerful engine can be fitted if necessary. EDIT: Ships' height seem suitable even without a ramp and TB3 does not even lose altitude at take off.

I read this a few days ago and Switzerland is actually considering cutting their F35 program short because of increased prices.

Japan seems to have 4 LHD ships that can possibly operate TB3. They should deploy 6 planes on each to a total of 24+ spares. They are adapting those ships to F35 though.

$110mn is more likely, which scared even Switzerland off

You should have taken the shorter list that I made :ROFLMAO:

On media there was a 400 meter radius reporting for MK84 but after seeing 400 feet on Wikipedia I though it was an error of units. But turns out that 400 meters is already realistic. While 360 meter is already observed in the field 160 meter for GAZAP is a downgrade which is noting to brag...

MK84 lethal fragmentation radius is given as 400 ft in Wikipedia. If you consider GAZAP being 3 times as powerful which can be taken as 3 times the area, doing the math you get 216 meter radius and this is 432 meter lethal diameter and equaling an area of 383 x 383 meters considering a square...

That looks like Pi π to me, my calculations show 1.26 km² which is still big enough for a 2000 lb drop.

Multiple Gazaps can be used to carpet bomb a target for bigger and selective effect. Gazap is a stop gap solution before we make nukes.

You should consider German reaction to Gazap before nonsensing.

Probably but satellite transmission is probably only half of the trick, I would say possibly ground antenna transmission complements the detection process. So it is absolutely necessary to avoid Starlink service in the regions of interest to us. But this is just my guess.

A satellite constellation like the Starlink is essentially an AESA radar network with global coverage. We need one for ourselves too and we can put visual observation on top of it to zoom into movement with a smaller number of optical satellites.

Türkiye is in 12th position barely surpassed by Italy, 11th position is within reach in a couple of years considering past growth performance. While in Nominal GDP Türkiye ranks 16th going up by one compared to 2024. Note the 2.54x factor between PPP and nominal GDP. Charts prepared by Zafer.

This map shows the possibilities, take it for what its worth.

No statement yet just third party allegations.

Egypt is interested in being in the Kaan project, so do we make a gift wrap of 48 pieces.
