You are correct that there is an agreement between the UK and Dutch navies for the Dutch ships to accompany UK Carrier strike groups in return for the UK to provide A/C strike group cover to the Dutch. This way UK strike group protects Netherlands and by using Dutch ships, releasing UK warships...

A world leader in turbine engines, like Rolls Royce, still hasn’t got a working engine to fit in to the Tempest jet fighter. The demonstrator plane will have two EJ200 engines powering it. We need to give some slack to TEI and Tusas. You can not hurry these high end engine developments...

Apparently there are quite a few differences in the body design with respect to sea state durability between the Ada Class and the I-Class ships. Naval News gives in her specifications, “unconditional operations under sea state 5” . Well, Ada Class ship TCG Kinaliada, managed to sail through...

I think your question about the 4K to 5K hull, would best be answered by @Anmdt. The in-between tonnage platform has been on the board for quite sometime, albeit having been put on the back burner a number of times. It is however, the logical way to go. Considering the proliferation of the...

https://www.eucass.eu/component/docindexer/?task=download&id=2692 Essentially it is a CRDE. Continuously Rotating Detonation engine. As the fuel is injected in to the combustion chamber in a continuous manner, the detonations are formed in a wave motion creating a CDWRE ...

When we decided to manufacture a gas turbine engine for our helicopters we did not go the directionally solidified turbine blades route. But went for the ultimate at the time, which was single crystal. If you check the TF6000 engine details, again, we have utilised friction welded fan and...

https://turdef.com/article/akhisar-offshore-patrol-ship-to-set-sea-trials The Turkish Navy’s future Offshore Patrol Ship, Akhisar P-1220, which was built at the Istanbul Shipyard Command under ASFAT’s responsibility, is preparing to conduct sea trials.

Totally unmanned tanks are a long way away at the moment. I never said tanks should be unmanned. May be one day. But not yet. But that is the ultimate goal. However it is well within our capability to produce a tank that takes care of it’s crew ”better” than what it is doing at the moment. We...

Good question! I will try to answer with another question. Would you like to be the person to explain to the fallen heroes’ family that for the sake of few months or a year that we couldn’t wait because the political system wanted to prove a point. Hence a better more capable version already in...

We have changed the doctrine in a limited fashion as far as what is out there in the open. Yes, with UAVs and UCAVs and our work on unmanned sea vehicles and submarines that are going on, we are ahead of many countries. Especially in air drone warfare. But we need to keep this momentum going in...

Both you guys are correct. We are in the middle of a conundrum. We need Tanks to advance in the battlefield. But the tanks are easily destroyed. And they cost a lot. That means the overall battlefield tactics will have to be revised. With the introduction of fire arms, in the battles of 19th...

Please add source. These are logical reasons. But you must provide source. Or make sure it is your personal opinions.

Another source about the same F35 news. More like the news about the f16 V70 kits and the 40 new V70s. Please give source when making important statements even if they are logically derived statements. Otherwise state that it is your opinion.

Bro, it is a long saga that covers more than 3 quarters of a century. Roots are in colonial rule. If you ask a Moroccan, it is the Algerians at fault. If you ask Algerians, it is the Moroccans’ fault. Best to stay clear of it. try below articles...

First of all there is no Anka 4 in any public SSB document that I know of. The only time Anka 4 was mentioned was few years ago when Anka 3 was being shown and Temel Kotil mentioned the name. He said “we are going to have a supersonic version of Anka 3 , we will have Anka 4.” We know that Anka3...

If it is the weight of explosives that needs to be increased, Roketsan has a version of TRG300 that is 660kg in weight with 180kg warhead that has a range of 90 km. https://www.roketsan.com.tr/en/products/trg-300-guided-missile Making even a bigger rocket, and a new one at that, will cost...

İ don't understand and don't condone the animosity our members have shown towards @Costin1984 . First of all, as long as they are within forum rules our members are free to write what they think is relevant. Now I would like to put the cat among the pigeons and play the devil’s advocate (we...
