“Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by...

If Syria and Iraq are sovereign states, any action over their airspace is in violation of international law if they have not consented to it. US, has the “so called” rights over Iraqi airspace as the victors of the last gulf war. But over Syria they are disregarding all international norms...

What I would like to know is; Whose airspace was violated by Israel to carry out these attacks? Or did Iraq, Syria and Jordan allow their air spaces to be used?

Having clarified that point, it would be nice to know, if you would bring some light to the very fact that, why we are pursuing an inferior gun for our second batch of I-Class frigates. Would it not be more feasible to ask MKE to develop our “Super-Rapid” version? You are correct in the fact...

https://turdef.com/article/mke-develops-extended-range-122-mm-artillery-rocket MKE has developed a new version of 122mm artillery rockets with deployable wings which extends the rocket’s 40km maximum range to 67.5km level. That is similar range of trg230. This opens the door to apply same...

It needs all new domestically developed avionics and radar etc to be compatible with EF2000. Not feasible. Edit: If we were to buy 120 planes. Yes it would be worth it.

There are, as far as I know, three versions of ECRS Aesa radars, if you do not count the mechanical one, the ECRS-M. Mk0 was the Leonardo-UK developed one (Qatari planes have this). Then came the Hensoldt developed one which is Mk1. This is the latest one on German Tranche-4 planes being built...

Never mind the wings, I thought what left Anka-3 was orange coloured???

No one has said anything about the Tolun being released upside down. This is a bit like the Russian KGK bombs that are released upside down. Then it rotates and opens its wings. Quite different to the KGK release video below

In supersonic aircrafts, surpassing the supersonic barrier is important. The drag coefficient increases rapidly as the aircraft nears the Mach 1. It then stays at high levels till about Mach 1.1-1.2 . After Mach1.2 it drops down hyperbolically. It is therefore not advisable to stay in transonic...

Not much of a competitor to be honest. Fenestron rotors are quiet and safer but….. Greater weight, therefore greater power requirement and more air resistance brought by the enclosed structure Higher cost to construct. More power is needed during the hover phase In short less efficient as a...

There are three island states that are still Dutch territories. (Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten). In addition the Dutch have large overseas trading connections and companies. Rotterdam is the busiest port in Europe. Majority of goods that western Europe use go through Dutch territory and...

If you want to look at it from another angle, “principally”, F110, F135, F119 are not that different from each other. Over the years F110 has evolved by using newer technologies and special alloys and materials. If F110 were “old-tech”, US wouldn’t be using it in their B2 stealth bombers, nor...

A 5th generation engine needs to be: 1. With high enough dry thrust (22K - 26K lbf) to impart supercruise capability to the plane. 2. Air inlet design to allow radar signals not to bounce back. LP Fan and compressor section to have blade design to be optimised to absorb radar signals. 3...

Dear members as mentioned here before, fake news is no news. this is a respectable forum. Let us discuss more credible issues. All unnecessary posts that are Related to “fake and no basis” news have been erased.

This is a respectable forum. There should be no place for false and wrong information. We have had people like late “Mr Bekdil” and now this guy. They are full of wrong information. Worst of all this guy doesn’t know he is spewing out crap. We as forum members should have the right wisdom not to...
