    If this is the case then it is outrageously expensive! Even with an Altay turret!

    Hydraulic actually can handle more weight and stress for specific workloads than electric and more efficient in most cases. All cranes and Catterpillar equipment are hydraulic driven. Electric is quieter. And needs a good power source. But cleaner. Hydraulic can be messy...

    It doesn’t say “the armour will be enhanced” or ”the armour will be renewed”. It says the tank will be renewed/modernised. The savunmasanayist news on the matter contains the addition of all these packages. At least that is my understanding...

    Sorry but I can’t quite understand what you are trying to say! If you are saying that the ESSM’s range is limited to 35-40 km , because the ship’s or its own sensor’s range is also limited to 35-40 km, then can you explain why they give a range of 50km for this missile? This was discussed here...

    There are, at the moment , 68 operational t38’s as far as I know. (Give or take a couple) . So we need at least around 70 Hurjet’s to replace these. Then there is light attack aircraft quantities that are needed. As Turkish squadrons consist of 20 aircrafts , and let us say at least 3 or 4...

So if they can, so should we with our MDAS system. quote: The resulting ESSM-ER would be a perfect weapon for frigates, both those of our allies and the forthcoming FFG(X) class.

    ESSM has a 4+ mach speed. I would guess that these too are 4+ Mach missiles. Due to dual pulse motor this may be a bit different and vary during flight. But Aster 30 are 4.5 Mach , Aster15 are 3.5 Mach missiles. Gokdogan missile which is similar to aim120 has a speed of 4 Mach. If these missiles...

    I hope they have looked in to those planes in detail and are at a point to negotiate to buy some of the typhoons that are going to be redundant. Apparently BAE was waiting to find out how the tranche 4 upgrades were going to be with the German airforce before going ahead with the UK upgrades...
