Exactly. It is : 1. False economy to use these as kamikaze vessels , since they are not cheap to replace. That should be written in to their memory as a last resort option. 2. As kamikaze vessels they are quite prominent and would be seen by any capable modern ship and blown out of water. No...

Please discuss here all things to do with Russian Sea vessels and ships

As I had previously mentioned, I was against the building of such a large and bulky white elephant like the TCG Anadolu. It was too expensive to build and too expensive to maintain and use. Two or three more Bayraktar Class LST ships would have been the cleverer choice; And they would have been...

A missile like TRG300 is still a ballistic missile with a suppressed trajectory. It has a mid course flight speed of around 4.2 Mach. But hits its target in terminal stage probably around 1.1-1.5 Mach in line with terminal velocity laws.. A plane like F16 can carry 4 of these, and since they are...

Essentially the engine that is going to power KAAN will be an oversized TF6000. But it is in essence going to be a different engine as it will have to produce over 4 times the dry thrust TF6000 is going to produce. Since we are aiming for an engine that is going to perform supercruise and...

https://idrw.org/can-develop-new-high-thrust-engine-on-our-own-but-might-take-20-years-drdo-chairman/ According to this news piece the DRDO Chairman doesn’t have much confidence in Indian engineering prowess regarding the development of a high thrust military jet engine. Kaveri is giving...

Great! Örümcek is the way forward. But it is still in development stage and not integrated in to the tank’s systems yet. Israeli gun launched missiles Lahat can reach 8000m with anti tank or anti personnel rounds. No sabot round can have effective range half of that. HE rounds are not that...

We need to look at NOT what it’s competitors have; but what it’s competitors WILL have when it is fully in TSK inventory in meaningful numbers. And better that. Most importantly the crew quarters will have to be changed so that no matter what happens to the tank, the crew must survive. There...

Regarding the price issue of equipment, ships, aircraft , it must be taken in to consideration the fact that there are 5 different criteria in play here. 1. Cost of actual production. 2. Sale of items to domestic force. 3. Sale of items to export customers. 4. The contents involved in the sales...

Looking at the way you are thinking to get to the overall cost of these ships , I wouldn’t start counting my chickens yet @Afif . There isn’t enough information about the contents of the agreement to decide how much each ship is going to cost. These ships could cost anything from 400 to 550...

Before discussing helicopters TSK should or should not have, it is important to understand few simple facts: Atak-T129 is a 5 ton light attack helicopter These are being built with Italian licensed body and US licensed engines Hence can be subject to restrictions of license duration and...

Having experienced the devastation myself of how earthquake can affect the lives and livelihoods of people in Hatay, I would like to pass my sincerest condolences to our Moroccan brothers and through them to all Moroccan people for the lost souls and my commiserations to the people of Morocco.

During this plane’s airframe design work, the Brazilian company Akaer has been heavily and extensively involved. They are the force and design team behind the successful work achieved in designing the Gripen E and F blocks. Akaer's role in the Hurjet project was to take care of the structural...

It is possible with some “higher” bypass engines to achieve higher thrust levels than their low by pass counterparts whilst keeping TIT the same. Or alternatively with lower TIT at the same thrust level. For a jet engine ; the higher the energy you throw out of the nozzle the more thrust you...

You are correct. My bad. I was checking US documents. Mostly in Fahrenheit. Reading 1390 to 1450 degrees as Fahrenheit was my mistake. They were in fact in Celsius. They correspond with your figures. Recheked lhtec800 TIT ; It is 1007 degrees Celsius max.
