I'm pretty sure the reasoning for that is OPSEC, throwing the attacker off and misleading them about the identity of the vehicle. Pretty smart, but units that attack SNA, also attack at our own as well, so not that big of a deal.

Maybe, maybe something related to that. But ESSI as I understand it is less about joint development and more about pooling together money to buy the set systems Germany operates for the members, like the Patriot, Arrow 3, Iris-T etc. Maybe ESSI funds part of our Steel Dome for use in Turkey...

Navy changed the name of 3 army/air force systems so far. Umtas became Temren, Hisar became Sapan, and now Bozdoğan to Göksur IIR. See the same sentence changing in a year: July 2023: "As an interceptor missile, GÖKSUR uses the BOZDOĞAN missile developed by TÜBİTAK-SAGE and updated according to...

I'm believing they can, pitot design is just as hard tho. Kaan also still uses regular ones. But If NG did it in 80s, we can do it too.

Well yes, he's the systems manager, giving a dumbed down interview in between his actual job. I watched the thing the day it was released last year. - Kaan doesn't have a radar, we don't call it a technology demonstrator. I thought my point was very clear. We have many years ahead of us for a...

Yup, then I remembered, Hürkuş-2 wouldn't have a yellow primer paint on it as it's supposed to be an all composite body. Hopefully for export, or one a prototype converted to a chase plane.

Yeah, no. ChatGPT doesn't know things, it's a language model. And it's more steerable than a puppy. I assume you asked "Is a flying wing a technology?" and got that answer. Here's another: I disagree with that. We didn't see TAI's testing of the previous demonstrators and scale models, which...

A flying wing is not a technology, it's a body design. We know that TAI studied flying wings extensively already with scale models and non flying models. Anka-3 is presented as a prototype for the future flying wing UCAV, not as a tech/capability demonstrator. Whether you call Anka-3 just a...

She looks awesome. Look at all those protruding antennas and sensors and the LOS antenna. Got years of development ahead of it to be a true very low observable flying wing. Such a hard task at hand. Really doubt it, they won't use a prototype as a chase plane.

If we see say some V-22 action on the Anadolu, that'd be a good sign that is the nature of the exercise. From what's published so far, it just looks like a simple stroll.

Even so, staying MTCR compliant on paper is just good for business.

2 American Sigint aircraft off the coast of Tripoli. https://www.itamilradar.com/2024/08/18/double-sigint-mission-off-tripoli/

I'm pretty sure that is the canister's own cover and not the protective cover we saw on the seeker in the video. Great screenshot capture however as it confirms it indeed has an IIR seeker like Roketsan previously shared for the missile. It has INS, GPS, TRN and IIR. Should be more than enough...

I'd think from the protective cover that it should be an IIR seeker at the least. I'd think they'd remove the cover before locking it up in the canister however and we don't see it. Which makes me think maybe they didn't want us to see it yet.

"USS Wasp (LHD 1) and USS Oak Hill (LSD 51) of the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group (WSP ARG)-24th Marine Expeditionary Unit operate together with TCG Anadolu (L 400) and TCG Gokova (F-496) in the Mediterranean Sea." - Pretty light a/c load on the Anadolu, can see only two Seahawks. Wasp is...

If done with the circlejerking of war crimes, can we get back to the topic at hand please?

Kara Atmaca/Atmaca UM(ER) test, finally revealed. Range is 280+km with a 250kg warhead. See the more angular canister to maybe differentiate. Not exactly sure but the TEL looks to be either Koluman Derman or another Mercedes Arocs based frame.

Hürjet's 100th flight. She's gotten much more playful since we last saw her. Now waiting for the second prototype.

That is one ugly stick.

Correct me If i remember wrong but 2 Track-IIA(Barbaros and Oruçreis) vessels only have 8 cell Mk41s, while for Track-IIBs(Salihreis and Kemalreis) it's 16. MLU requires taking the ship from active service for at least a year. Oruçreis is out of action for more than 2 years at this point, going...
