A 60k ton, 285m long ship is a full size hip. Bigger ships are not big because they have to be but because of more storage capacity. An EMALS is only 300ft long and can launch a plane of 100.000lb. A half power EMALS is all we need as larger planes are neither more effective nor more economical...

I don't think so, where will European tourists go if Türkiye and Greece are out of the picture. Likewise how will the US protect American assets against Türkiye?

Not yet, nukes are after we find the big oil and gas.

Call Cimer, maybe they know something and want to tell you.

People never pay the money until Erdoğan orders it. People never want to pay money.

Atatürk associated himself with peace, so it is not suitable to involve his name with weapons. While on the other hand Erdoğan is all about belligerence and you probably already know but I still see the need to remind you that Erdoğan is the president who is ordering this ship and most likely...

TCG Zafer would be the most appropriate name for the new carrier ship.

Countries' vision of the future maybe different from how it looks, nobody could guess that there would be talk of a world war 3 just a few years ago.

No, from Gibraltar to Indonesia. As long as they are affordable we can have several, particularly because they are fossil fueled and have limited range. They are more like mobile bases.

British Carriers are under-performing ships that no one will want. That is evident from the fact that they intend to modify them heavily particularly making them UAV friendly. We need a ship that is 285 meter long weighing 60k tons and that can operate smaller planes like the UCAVs we are...

We can make them cheaper. US makes equipment to be costly so that other nations can not catch up. But we made UAVs cheaper we can make ACs cheaper too. Our field of interest spans from the west of Africa to the east of Indian Ocean and we can use conventional propulsion to cover this span.

Timing is critical, ideally we want an AC that we will want to make more than a few of but making a high quality AC with EMALS catapults and nuclear propulsion can be challenging. Therefore a first step basic AC with conventional propulsion and lower throughput can be acceptable. We need to look...

You can not stop ships from sailing in international waters.

A few weeks ago I shared that MKE have established a company in the US, seems like they built a production line there but the news avoids saying it is a Turkish company making America's munitions. I don't think MKE is just selling production lines.

You totally lost the chance of being on good terms with Mr. Temel Kotil.

One of the Anka3 drone's roles is air interception, of actually what? Drones, helicopters, freighters, other slow planes and cruise missiles are a given but can she intercept 4th and 5th generation fighters. I don't see why not owing to its stealth character I would say she is "ambush master #2"...

Tank lover armies will wise up at some point, it is not easy to give up on an iconic piece of equipment overnight after all. There is economies around it and cost of ownership of the technology is high, so there is a big barrier to entry into the technology which keeps small players out of the...

We don't want supply chain problems.

Hybrid or electric alone options for older stock tanks, why not?

GE put the T901 engine development to back burner with the latest move towards abandoning FARA development, there are few prototypes available for projects. For what its worth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_T901
