It seems like the LRIP missiles are delivered to the Air Force.

No neither Hisar nor Siper is offered to Slovakia. It looks cost-effective but Barak MX is offered in various configurations it is not easy to say how good the deal is before we know more. But even with the basic configuration 6x battery for 615 million is a good deal.

The high-ranking officer who gave the order. Major General Muhannad Ghaleb Al-Asadi Brigadier General Abdülselam Hammud announced it in a TV interview.

The Iraqi side confirms that Turkiye informed Iraq about the operations of the Aksungur UAV. Turkiye should immediately demand that the MoD of Iraq launch a probe and suspend those officers who gave the order. Turkiye should inform Iraq MoD that the next hostility will result in Turkish...

Another Turkish UAV is shot down. I wrote shot down because it has clear shrapnel damage on the wing in the second photo. According to Iraqi sources, the Armed Forces of Iraq shot down the UAV. The UAV is Aksungur. 4 ground to air missiles are fired to shoot down the Aksungur UAV. The reason...

Egypt will go for J-31. Kaan has a long way to go before we can sell it with a national engine in meaningful numbers.

Russians are encircling Pokrovks. Once Pokrokvs falls, Ukraine might be forced to order a big retreat.

I expect Indonesia to lower the priority of the KF-21 program and join the Turkish MMU/TF-X program. Indonesian authorities have been unhappy with the program for a while and Indonesia gives more and more contracts and importance to Turkish defense companies. I expect a MOU to be signed at IDEF...

Novohrodivka is not that important but Pokrovks is. Pokrovsk is a railroad junction and a logistical hub. Russian missile attacks get more frequent and they use more missiles and UAVs with greater success rates. Ukraine needs an airforce. Ukraine also needs long-range missiles like JASSM that...

From what i see, this looks like they are slowly finishing the concept design phase and moving to the detailed design phase. You don't do detailed hydrodynamic calculations for Propeller, bulkhead etc in the concept design. It seems Armerkom put real manpower behind the project probably...

It seems like the patrol boat only suffered shrapnel damage due to a small missile/rocket exploding just above the boat.

Sub-Atmaca training capsule prototype. Roketsan smart capsule concept The smart capsule will have its own propulsion, battery, mission computer, INS, and cruise system. The capsule will carry the missile to a predetermined launch spot the missile will be launched from that spot. Advantages...

IMHO, AIP is unnecessary for mid-sized submarines like the Reis class. It is not worth the cost or the risks involved. Li-Ion batteries will provide enough underwater endurance. For heavier subs with VLS capability, the AIP system might be a good addition.

Koreans also chose li-ion(KSS-III Batch II). We should go that way. We can use Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries (200Wh/kg) that are safe for underwater use. If we want to be super extra safe we can go for Lithium Titanate (180Wh/kg). Medical tools have Lithium Titanate batteries because they...

Tomahawks can be launched from 533mm torpedo tubes. Tomahawks can also be launched from VLS.

SSB plans to put another 3 I class frigates on the keel after launching the first 3 I class frigates. This will reduce the time to deliver all 8 ordered ships.

5th gen F-16 is called F-35 and it is not a light fighter. Investing in stealth manned light fighter is stupid and no neither F-35 nor J-31 nor SU-75 checkmate is a light fighter. They are single-engine fighters. F-50 is a light fighter. If we go back in time F-5 is a light fighter even though...

Yeah at this point it is meme.

Russians mostly left the west of the Seym River. When I say Ukraine should fortify the west of the river I'm talking about capturing rest of the area and ceasing operations east of the river Ukraine also shouldn't move deeper than 30-40km as this will stretch the logistics thin. It will be...

There is no competition to Hürjet other than T-50 and T-7. T-50 production lines are full and T-7 faces delays. M-346 is not a direct competitor to Hurjet as it is not a supersonic trainer. This concept won't materialize as UCAVs will dominate the light stealth fighter segment.
