First turret drives were actually electric. But they were slow. Then hydraulic turret drives appeared which were much faster but very flammable (Sherman, Patton). Modern hydraulics are much less flammable but still better to have pure electric (which are now fast enough).

You mean with Iran? Well it will take some time, but no doubt they will. Probably they will even pay compensation to Iran.

Democrates want to make a deal with Iran at any cost. Thats why they stopped the F-35 deal with UAE.

No scoop unfortunately. https://www.calcalistech.com/ctech/articles/0,7340,L-3896111,00.html This article says East Asia (most probably South East Asia) - Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore.

Iskander M and E are two variants of same system. On the other hand Iskander K is completely different system.

There are two completely different missile systems called "Iskander": 1) Iskander M/E - ballistic missile (E - export version). 2) Iskander-K - cruise missile. Pashinyan critisized ballistic missile Iskander E. Russian MoD got butthurt and published videos as Iskander-K (completely...

Russian MOD said no Iskanders were fired during Karabakh war. But this video shows two Iskander launches:

Less expensive than Typhoon or Rafale, but offers stealth, advanced AESA radar, DAS, sensor fusion and net enabled operations.

The Israeli and German Defense Ministries have signed an agreement to equip the German Leopard 2A7A1 tanks with the TROPHY Active Protection System. The government-to-government (G2G) agreement covers the supply of APS to equip 17 tanks making a single company of the German Army. The contract...

Interesting system would be good in combination with regular EO pod. Often Israeli UAVs carry two EO pods together.

Here the status of Iron Fist APS. Israeli Eitan APC. Contract signed. US Bradley IFV. In 2019 US planned to equip a brigade of Bradleys with Iron Fist. But now the fate of these plans is uncertain, because of budget cuts and that current M2A3 version does not generate enough power to...

The biggest blinder is that Germans already in august 41 understood that they grossly underestimated Red army size and especially reserves. Yet they did not send any additional reinforcements. More over in november 41 before the last push they sent 2nd airfleet to Malta.

Ukraine has lots of space technologies (hey build first stage of Antares rocket, they have excellent RD-120 and RD-843 engines). Considered very high level of Turkey-Ukraine relationships I bet Ukrainians will be heavily involved in this program.

Each missile should cost around 200 k USD Iron Dome Battery costs 42 mln, Tamir missile - 160 K. Main cost ir the radar. It is more powerful than S-400 radar.

I am very skeptical about the need of hypersonic missiles at all. * If we want fast delivery of warhead we can use old good ballistic missile. * If we want covert and cheaper delivery we can use terrain hugging stealthy cruise missile. * If we want very cheap delivery we can use glide bomb. As...

This article just transmits Russian claims. Kinzhal is basically an Iskander ballistic missile attached to MiG-31. Its a big doubt if it can moving targets. About Zircon we dont even know if it exists at all. Here the only official "test" they showed: Missile launched, u can see clear shadows...

You should take all Russian claims with huge grain of salt. Plasma cloud does not make missile invisible at all. But it makes missile totally blind.
