The body of the Mohave doesn't produce lift, body of the TB3 produces lift. Mohave is an inferior design to TB3 because it is take-off/stall speed is higher compared to TB3 that is also why it needs a longer air strip to take off. Empty weight and fuel load is a thing in aerospace. Learn your...

No, the Combat load of naval TB3( Empty UAV+fuel+280kg payload=1450kg) is lighter than the useful payload capacity(1542kg) of Mojave UAV. Aerodynamic design of TB3 is far superior to Mohave. They are not in the same class. TB3 has a take-off /stall speed of ~70knots 20knots of which will be...

Irrelevant and ad hominem. TB3 will EASILY take off from the deck of TCG Anadolu with a full combat load of 1450kg, the land variant of TB3 has an MTOW of 1600kg.

Total BS.

Artillery shells have a long way to catch up to the Russian production levels but combined NATO production should be close to the Russian level. This is also proof that air-defense missiles can't win the war in the long run against cruise and ballistic missiles. 500 Patriot PAC-3 is not enough...

Hopefully, this guy will be removed in the next election. I don't want to think about what will happen if he is elected again.

The passive layer of add-on armor has STANAG level 6A protection, and the reactive layer has 6b protection(PDF page 15). The turret itself should have level 4 or 5 armor protection. It is made of thick angled armor steel.

P means parti (batch) 3P should be the third batch 59 is probably the 59th engine of the third batch. We don't know how many engines there are per batch but it feels like there are 100 engines per batch so there should be more than 900 engines and increasing. Unlike other companies, KALE is a...

No, it is "up to" the STANAG-5 level of protection, and at that level, the turret weighs close to 8000kg still a lot lighter than MZK(MZK provides STANAG level 6 protection though). The base turret(welded armor aluminum) will probably only provide protection against 7.62x51mm AP rounds...

That is mostly a naked turret with ballistic aluminum armor. Turret with addon armor weighs north of 7000kg depending on the armor and modifications.

That is a good move in the right direction. The first targets should be missile, UAV, gliding bomb and artillery shell production facilities and any facility providing required materials to those facilities. Russian firepower superiority has to be reduced at all costs.

A Christian priest in Russia is a Russian nationalist A Christian priest in Greece is a Greek nationalist A rabbi in Israel is a Jewish nationalist An Imam in Iran is a Persian nationalist An imam in Saudi Arabia is an Arab nationalist An imam in Turkiye hates everything about Turks.

A Tamir-like missile project is in progress, and Aselsan will deliver its guidance section ( Aselsan cost-effective seeker head project/semi-active RF) in 2026. From what I heard the target is to have a similar performance at half the price of the Tamir missile. Roketsan is also working on a...

It is true but this is not an HGV, also don't expect anything in the short term. All of those projects are post-2030.

The most serious problem of AKP is a slow one. Turkish voter base is changing especially the AKP voter base. Here is a recent poll about voter bases of political parties. The Turkish voter base is becoming less religious and less conservative. Political leaning of youth. 2022 vs 2024. Big...

There is a low chance of a deal before November, which will most likely be reached by the end of this year if the new government is not openly hostile.

The US side is stalling the F-16 deal because officials want to see the results of the next elections before committing to a deal. They want the next government/president to decide whether to give the project the green light.

All of them are defensive equipment. I want to see short-range ballistic missiles like PrSM and ground and air-launched cruise missiles like MBDA LCM and JASSM on those lists.

One way or another Russia will persevere. It simply is too big to fail. Russia will pay a heavy price but in the end, Russia will get what it wants. Ukraine is evacuating Pokrovsk and Kramatorsk. The tempo and frequency of Russian missile, aviation, and UAV strikes are increasing. Russian...
