Doubt he's the lead engineer of the 10ton heli program and is well versed in rotorcraft production. You can see that what's I meant. His job is not to be an engineer but an administrator.

Kotil is not what to TAI what Selçuk is to Baykar. He's not an engineer, he's a director, an organizer if you will. As we do not yet have a full size mockup, everything about T925 is subject to change. That will be the same even after the mockup as we've seen with MMU.

Think less of a Cobra and more like an armored UTV sized vehicle or Engerek, I think, size wise. Do we even have a 2-3 ton vehicle? Now, what would really be interesting is if it could carry a Boran 105mm gun inside, as well as one on the outside. I think too early to guess anything. To add...

It's so disproportionate, i love it.

It's newer inside. Greatest advantage tho is as it's basically embedded in the hull, it has a tiny effect on radar signature and doesn't take up a slot under the body on pylons. A stealth fighter with a targeting pod wouldn't be stealth as it's not "clean".

No details, it's not even certain if it's even a real thing. Only a patent application. Anyone have any ideas why they went with Canik's Unirobotics Targan for Hisar Class ships instead of the tried and tested STAMP/STOP/SMASH family?

Nah, Ukrainians whether they lose the war or not, will go Operation Nemesis on Russians after the war. They will be plenty of assassinations.

CdG is about 42-45k. Korea's CVX is also about 45k. Since we are not talking with France regarding a new carrier, it's either UK or Korea anyhow.

We now need 2 more carriers and Greeks need 4 so that we can recreate the Battle of Midway. It really is baffling to see how much some people don't have any idea but are allowed to make their voices heard. With pro opposition, it's "everything we do is horrible and a lie". With pro gov...

Fatih is simply the best in the business when it comes to photos. Lovely, very high quality shots. Give him all the access. Getting tired of 720p photos and grainy video captures. It's 2023.

Turkey’s ‘Drone Carrier’ Amphibious Assault Ship Enters Service https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/turkeys-drone-carrier-amphibious-assault-ship-enters-service

That's just being an animal, sorry. Reprehensible, hope he gets captured soon, a quick death by drone is too nice for that guy.

Yup, apart from the single parking spot in front of the forward elevator and behind the Phalanx, there is no safe place for holding any other birds on the deck while fixed wing ops are underway. And I really doubt that single parking spot can be used for helicopter operations, never seen it on...

Hard agree. Though one is gotta add, We really do not have a ship capable of fleet air defence, that's TF2000 territory. If Turkey is interested in a blue water CSG which is basically a carrier, one oiler, one logistics ship, 2-3 GP frigates, 1-2 AA destroyers(or frigates, same thing in this...

Correct, and that is still uncharted territory. I don't think this should be talked about openly and lauded. Apart from B30s or when we introduce HGK as JDAM or other local equivalents as their American counterparts, all our F-16s are FMS aircraft. US has some say in how we modify them. I really...

So it's supposed to be back launched as there's no traverse. Hope we see a test fire soon. Both Mir with torpedos and Marlin with Kuzgun looks more like proofs of concept to me rather than actual products. Launchers are very rudimentary.

Sao Paolo was hardly active for the last 10-15 years. They only kept it operating to keep the pilot and flight deck personnel experiences alive. They've been looking to build a new one for the last 30 years and in the last decade they talked about getting French help to build one based on CdG...

France and Italy do have blue water navies. Brazil's is more of a tradition from Minas Gerais and they currently do not have a fixed wing carrier. Ex Ocean Atlantico is a helicopter carrier.

There is a reason why basically only 3 makers of ejection seats exists which are M-B, Russia and China. Needs hundreds of tests to ensure secure ejection every single time.

We haven't heard about LCACs for Anadolu for years at this point. Any updates?
