”TCG Anadolu is an amphibious assault ship” Exactly! That is what she is! What makes modern frigates and destroyers even deadlier, is their ability to project fire power away from their hull at a distance and altitude through the one helicopter they carry. This ship is going to have a multitude...

Are we going to have pages and pages of futile discussion on ”supposed“ name of TFX again? Can we stay on topic please!

If it is going to have a long range Aesa radar as advertised, wouldn’t it be defeating the object by utilising a WVR missile? What can it be used to shoot? Unless it is to be configured to be used against AD missiles. Wouldn’t it be more apt to use a BVR missile?

As a person who is close to naval circles, this decision may come to you as natural, to be expected and may even be old news. But to those of us who are not naturally in close proximity of naval events, this is a huge decision. There must be hundreds of Harpoons in the inventory. They are being...

You have put your finger on the correct point. If you check the MKE’s hybrid solution, they do not use the diesel generator’s internal combustion power for traction. The total power generation is used for: electrical power generation and charging the battery pack. The resultant electrical power...

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...
