    Ukraine Navy Ukranian Corvette Project: Ada Class

    Most of the choices are political. Gökdeniz is better than millennium CIWS. Millennium has a single barrel. If it stops firing you are dead. Double-barrel provides redundancy, on the con side, it also means a bigger system. Single barrel millennium can fire over a thousand rounds but it comes at...

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    Hürjet rollout will happen anytime from December 2021 to March 2022 depending on how well things go. Ground tests will be done in 2022. The first flight will be in 2023. Whether it will happen on 18 March 2023 or 29 October 2023 remains to be seen. Mr.Kotil seems confident. I give 70/30 chances...

    Worthless coalition. Will Greece deploy troops against Pakistan? Can Greece help in any way to India to counter Pakistan? No. So it is a coalition in the paper. Similarly, India won't fight for Greece if shit hits the fan. India might sell weapons to Greece but I doubt the EU or the US will let...

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    They are the concept of an older doctrine. Israel fielded those in the 80s. When a 100kg Iranian makeshift kamikaze UAV that costs 10k destroys that people will realize how useless it is. You shouldn't concentrate your firepower on a single expensive IFV(costs over 8 million $) by putting 8x/16x...

    This is an insanely fail concept. We shouldn't get any armored vehicles like this NEVER! And I have never heard and I don't think TAF has any requirement for a monstrosity like this. Kuzgun-KY has to check these boxes Big enough warhead to hit pillbox like small fortifications, strong points...

    Atmaca warhead has the armor-piercing and double-tap capability(secondary explosion inside the hull) and it weighs 250kg. There is no way on earth that 140kg warhead of Harpoon 2 is more lethal than Atmaca. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_explosive_detonation_velocities BTW TR has...

    There is a limit to how smaller you can get. If I would be paying similar prices I would rather have the 100kg one which gives real stand-off capability and adequate destruction without becoming big and clunky.

    The UK doesn't need to spend thousands of them. The UK's only military presence is their overseas support missions with the US. They can afford overpriced exotic products we can't. MQ-9B Skyguardian is an overpriced failed product too. Akıncı>Skyshit. That's why the UK is swallowing her pride...

    More lethal compared to what? What is the measurement of lethality. I would put an armor-piercing capability similar to Atmaca and can say my warhead is more lethal now. What is the total amount of energy both warheads release? That is the real question. There is no way a 140kg explosive...

    I would rather have a 100kg missile with a bigger more lethal warhead that can reach 50+km(real replacement for AGM-65 Maverick and excellent capability for UAVs, naval assets, choppers, and land-based launchers) and pay 11 liras for it rather than having a 50kg missile with a smaller warhead...

    Kuzgun-KY will be an overpriced underachiever for the class it is stationed in. We don't need a Brimstone. It is a failed product it is not cost-effective. Kuzgun has to be cost-effective. Remember triple Ms( Modüler, Müşterek, Maliyet-etkin) Brimstone block-1 is basically Umtas-ER which costs...

    Then you are wrong. No new chemical compound is invented to make a 140kg warhead better than 250kg. What Cabatli said is true.

    Spike-NLOS is a 70+kg missile with a range of 25-30km. I think we should have a 100kg missile with a range of 50km and a heavier warhead rather than a 50kg missile which fits nowhere. It is slightly heavier than Umtas (37,5kg). I would rather have an Umtas-ER (50kg) than Kuzgun-KY (50kg)...

    Good luck removing Russians from Libya. The latest reports suggest that Russian regular forces are stationed in some key locations.

    I don't like that. I would rather have Umtas-ER than a 50kg Kuzgun-KY missile.

    They aren't in the same class. Kuzgun-KY (solid fuel) is a 100kg missile. Umtas is a lot smaller and lighter. Kuzgun-KY is even bigger than Spike-NLOS. IMHO it is what a real NLOS missile should be. Kuzgun is very flexible and will be a force multiplier for airforce, land forces, and navy. Think...

    The difference between Fersah and Yakamoz is Fersah can transmit more power so it has a longer range. Fersah also has a mine detection mode and probably better signal processing. Yakamoz 2020 is the next-generation version of Yakamoz.
