    I am a little bit disappointed too I must admit. The length compared to “rumored” Israeli Dragon and “proposed” Korean KSS III classes seem to be well within the range of supporting at least a 4 tube VLS. Could they simply just skip the VLS and go for a tube launch only system or gonna install...

    Interesting (or even maybe intriguing) thought. Considering that double end gunned designs were last seen around 70’s era US and Soviet vessels and the fact that the design is now passé due to requirement for a deck solely dedicated to modern ASW operations concept, what kind of a gun layout we...

    With all due respect, I have no intention of doing such a thing as such dig ups by posters on any forum on the net brings up nothing but dragging up and ruining any particular thread until a mod intervenes. No offense Zafer

    “At this point” as in really, at this point we have news that they discovered something huge nearly on astronomical quantities and that’s all we know. Naturally, Here and there people, rightfully asking the same thing crossing my mind. Could it really be and if it is what is the breakdown like...

    Well my point was not to glorify the piece or even agree on it but just to clarify a false assumption based on a plagiarized “excerpt“. Also, it was not my intention to show you in a bad light by digging up your post ;)

    I followed the link at the twit you posted and there was some site mentioning a name, Christopher Ecclestone. A little research on the internet and turns out - the mentioned article is a reduced and lightly plagiarized piece from DW - The twitter account based his “unsubstantiated and anonymous...

    And they did not. And it’s not any other radar system tbh. It was a non-existing warfare capability of the TN. If you carefully read the above post, you’ll see that the testbed was a G-class frigate. What the posters really saying was that ÇAFRAD was such a huge technological leap forward, not...

    Although I’m hoping the statement to be a genuine one, my gut feeling and experience unfortunately makes it hard to believe that they will not accept it. I’m afraid they’ll accept it “as is” or maybe touch here and there and this statement will stay as nothing but another gaffe cover and face...
