Or they could number them like the Koreans do. Call them Milgem-I, II, III, whatever. Navy probably have their reason to call them as such but they also have a responsibility to clear confusions. Milgem as a program grew so much, we are now talking about somewhere between 24 and 35+ projected...

RAM didn't replace RIM-7s, Sea Sparrow evolved into ESSM and is pretty much added to every single NATO and allied ship today. RIM-7 becoming ESSM is solely down to politics of the air force when they didn't want to further upgrade the Falcon and just went with AIM-120 and retired it, which then...

Great news. - I still don't understand why they go with this numbering scheme. All it does is to confuse the reader. Yes, Istif is the continuation of Milgem and Ada Class ships. But Ada Class is completed with all ships delivered. Just use one or the other. A layperson directly understands...

Haniyeh and his bodyguard killed in Tehran while attending Pezeshkian's inauguration. Iranian counter intelligence is rotten to the bone.

What happened to Aksungur sonobuoy launcher anyway? Maybe they haven't found the time to integrate it with all Aksungurs being over Iraq.

Don't exist. Truth is, Turkey per official stance has not yet made an official request to Germany to buy Eurofighters. They are first waiting for an unofficial green light to make a request. Mezzanatto is a nobody in this sense, put on the consortium board to make sure it runs semi smoothly...

What's also interesting is that he mentions a private firm working for border patrol, not the federal Border Patrol under Customs and Border Protection agency as being the interested party. I was unaware of CBP offloading some work to private firms to control the border.

Which was exactly Tan's point btw. From CHP's presser today: "In this context, we share with the public the following important observations and warnings regarding the concept of the Blue Homeland, which the government only remembers during election periods and uses as a domestic policy...

Eh, much didn't change after his latest rhetoric. Let's see.

Not because Russia didn't try subversion of such kind. Remember Kherson. It worked pretty well there, local leaders turned coat.

They are the ones Spain ordered about 10 years ago but didn't take delivery of. They are also delayed in production due to late orders and I don't think there are unused A400Ms lying around somewhere. They will be built.

Not going well for Wagner and Mali army. Huge MNLA ambush and then JNIM strike kills at least 32.

Hürjet on its ferry flight to Spain with an A400M. 24-001, and a roundel :love: She looks beautiful with a last minute makeover.

Pretty good script, harrowing too.

Confirmation of a possible deal being in the works: "According to sources who spoke to Defence Turkey, Spain is offering to pay for the procurement of 24 HÜRJETs through the sale of 6 A400Ms to the Turkish Air Force via Airbus (i.e. by way of barter). The Turkish Air Force has been working for...

One other effect of the war in the north. Russia is the biggest titanium parts supplier in the world. This has affected not only us, but many others around the world as well. "Western aerospace companies are heavily reliant on Russian titanium. Among OEMs, Boeing sources 1/3 of its titanium...

Probably lost connection or engine and drifted for days-weeks.

First Milden class will definitely be AIP diesel electric. We have older boats that will need replacing by the time Milden is in building phase and they will use the tech they will have known by then, not nuclear with which we have no experience. In the future tho, I also think there will be...

Not in the Med, we don't. In the Med it might even be a disadvantage. I don't think any nuclear powered subs are related to these tiny boats tho. They wouldn't even exist on the same plane. We can discuss it separately from midget subs i think. A manned platform, a submarine nonetheless can...
