They can keep the rotors of the helicopter intact and tune the MTOW with the power of the engine and that is a different version of the helicopter right there. Because helicopters are not so very aerodynamically optimized their engine compartment size will not be very critical anyway. As we...

When you make them with domestic means you can make them at a fraction of the commercial market cost. Remember just a couple days ago Türkiye started the making of a bunch of Navy vessels with one decision and this year's defense budget is increased by quite a bit. I think it should take about 3...

Much of the work the helicopter will do will be at sea level and for hot and high you simply operate it with less fuel and payload. The 10600kg MTOW helicopter is powered by 2*2115 = 4230 hp and the TS1400 delivers 4200 without breaking a sweat and it can actually go as high as 1680 hp in...

Türkiye is actually very close to acquiring the capability to launch low orbit satellites.

A 3x TS1400 engine helicopter can perform acceptably well. https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/NHIndustries_NH90 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NHIndustries_NH90

Even drones can be used in the same manner with today's capabilities with slightly less accuracy. You remember a drone footage of a Russian ship in the Black Sea taken from 80 km distance. You can use drone based optical and SAR capabilities to locate a target and feed the information to the...

Still highly possible and this also underlines the importance of having a network of LEO satellites with a rich set of features. Drones can possibly work in the same manner. There is a good likelihood of success when you practice and prepare well.

Senegal is likely to join the TB2 club

Ideally an earth observation satellite, a drone or some kind of radar locates the target and delivers location information to the missile using sat-com or other transmitter. Ideally the information is updated frequently until the missile arrives at the target location. The missile may or may not...

Having been looking at two and four tube pods all the time a wishful expression had to come out, a shout out to engineers who can pack more than just four.

That seemed too good to be true anyway.

One compact launcher pod holding a dozen Cirit missiles, nice.

Only if they work well will self driving taxis and eVTOLs do a good job to supplement mainstream mobility options. eVTOLs will be expensive and cumbersome as they still need a first and last mile solution to be useful.

So Taiwan war will cost as much as 9.5% of the world GDP, some stable economies will shatter in the fallout but those who are used to roller coaster action will fare well enough.

Holocaust is when Jews massacred Muslims.

India is big but we are moving faster in military technology.

Once we have everything conventional we should look into that too.

At that point we will probably be selling stuff rather than buying.

Imagine what happens in ten years when ongoing development projects come online; fifth position and even fourth position is possible.
