    It seems like initially Tal Rifat and Manbij area will be targeted. Another front can be opened east of the Euphrates to link the areas west and east of the Euphrates. YPG is negotiating with the US to at least station some troops in Ain Al Arab(Kobane). Local sources report that TSK...

    Those are really big hydropower generators. They generate electricity from the huge water turbines. They can probably be used in other power plants. Ships have alternators that produce electricity from diesel engines.

    No. It needs to visit the harbor or its parent ship. It seems like a turret is enough for now but in the future, I think we need to invest in a small VLS system for the antitank/NLOS missiles. Tubitak SAGE cold launch is an excellent option for that job. Something like that

    Complete and the biggest untrue post I have ever seen from you. 2) So you are accepting the range can be extended a lot by just tinkering with payload. This is not a huge redesign. 3) I can send a man to space with a 4600kg missile. ATACMS is 1321kg and can travel to a distance of 300km. Lora...

    Raider means Akıncı. 118kts is lower than the average cruise speed of 150kts but certainly above the stall limits of Akıncı.

    The original warhead of Block 1A weighs over 600kg if I'm not mistaken it is reduced to 230kg. That is close to a 400kg reduction and indeed close to one third of the original warhead weight.

    So %33 range increase on TRG-300 missile is an incremental increase? What we call incremental increase is something like %3-5-7. Bora missile can easily pass 500km range without a major redesign by just introducing a block II missile with a better rocket engine and some weight savings and that...

    Even if this is true it is meaningless. Erdogan changed his decision right in the middle of the operation in the past and stopped the ongoing operations. The US will threaten him with something when the US feels the Turkish Armed Forces advanced enough and he will stop where the US wants...

    F-35 has rivets too if you look at its close-up shots. F-35 uses special rivets which create a smoother surface compared to normal rivets. After fastening the rivets a special filler/putty is applied on top of the rough areas caused by rivets to make the surface silky smooth.
