Correct! It must have been difficult and expensive for the Indians as well, since they started the project in 2013 and first test was done in 2018 without success. Missile failed to activate the ramjet. Then in 2019 another test was performed. This time the missile achieved the desired Mach...

Solid fuel ramjet technology, especially the throttle-able version is not easy to develop. It is expensive and very precise. You cannot easily turn off and then restart a solid fuelled rocket like you would with a liquid/gel fuelled one. Since solid fueled rockets can’t be turned off they can be...

That is the logical way to go. But the news clearly says that they will redesign TCG Anadolu to enable TB3 operations. In fact it says that the back of the lift already covered.

@Zafer , According to Selcuk Bayraktar’s statements in below article, TB3 will be able to land on TCG Anadolu without arresting wires. He is talking about arresting nets to stop it. Then adding that it will in fact land without the need of arresting nets...

The main point here is the fact that the ship is going to go through a major overhaul and redesign as per this picture, whereby the ski jump is going to be extended and the aft portion of the ship where the lift is, going to be covered to the edge.
