@Nilgiri Especially agree with your last paragraph as it is totally correct. I hope that the US - Pakistan relations become friendlier too. So that we can get those engine licenses released for the T-129 helicopters. But I can’t see Pakistan moving away from China as long as India is seen as a...

Theoretically possible. But it is inconclusive that SAR technology is being actively used to detect submarines. It is among different methods of detection of submarines in ports and at sea. But underwater detection capability of SAR, if true, is not apparently known openly...

Iskander missile is a tactical short range missile. It is basically a quasi ballistic (behaves like/semi ballistic) missile. It’s apogee is around 50-60km. Many versions have been built. At high altitude it travels at hypersonic speeds. It’s length. diameter and hence weight varies according to...

CODELOD is a naval propulsion system in which an electric motor and a diesel engine act on a single propeller. CODAD is a naval propulsion system for ships using two Diesel engines to power a single propeller shaft.

In addition to our posts , let me introduce the TAIGEI Class submarines of Japan. This class was built with tech taken and progressed from last 2 Söryu class submarines with Li-Ion batteries. They can, after nuclear submarines, stay submerged longest among all other conventional subs. This is...

I think this is for just one sub to start with. 2 more on option. Mitsubishi make submarine engines for SÖRYU class. But they most likely, wouldn’t sell the engines to China either.

Add English translation please

German AIP system is good and TN had made the right choice at the time. Whilst it is a good system, the speed at which the submarine can travel submerged under AIP is very low and does not give the Sub-Commander flexibility of a faster moving vessel. Added to this, Germany’s, what I would call...

Add English explanation please!

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/ingiltere-turkiyeye-yonelik-ihrac-kisitlamalarini-kaldirdi/ According to TR FM, UK has lifted all export restrictions on defence industry Concerning Turkey. This opens up RR deal and eases TFX bottleneck situations. If there were any!

In the long run, it will be their loss. But our gain. It will make us more determined to prepare and produce all subsystems that the vessel needs, in house. After the way they have behaved, we will never buy any armoured vehicles from them. We definitely won’t be buying any engines from them. No...

True but let us be a little bit optimistic and think out loud about another alternative: Tusas has experience in setting out production line for F16 planes. Tusas can manufacture all the fuselage and most of the plane if not all. Tusas has local companies that can manufacture most parts. TEI/GE...

There is no effective and capable system that can transmit large information blocks to a fully submerged submarine and receive from it to be able to remotely control it over large distances. A submarine , especially a nuclear one has to receive launch orders from command centre without...

VLF communication is limited to 10-40 metres in depth. If submarine is any deeper, forget any conventional communication. Unless ELF communication technology is developed to a level to perform two way full digital signal transference without interference, long range underwater unmanned systems...

That is nearly 50 million dollars per ship for 2 RAM systems.! Then 32 Aster30 missiles with over 2 million dollars each, will be another 65-70 million dollars. That is not counting the actual system price. (Mind you, Singapore paid 650 million Euros for 200 aster 30 missiles. that makes it 4...

Logical way of conducting company and state politics. But what can Italians do about the engines, if the strings of those engines are held by the US?

It was originally designed as a means of “green” scramjet powered transport vehicle, operating at the edge of our atmosphere. Hence it would glide back to earth when it completed it’s flight. But as a weapon it can still come back home if not used. By using Oxygen in the air it doesn’t need to...

It is , and it is developed by US/Israel cooperation. But most importantly it is readily available to purchase and is effective.
