Years ago I don't remember exactly which year I was during IDEF at the section of the Navy where they had this maquete of a Gabya class frigate (ex Perry) that had received the modernization of Genesis combat management system, Smart-S radar, addition of an 8 cell MK41 VLS launcher in front of...

It would be nice to use this approach also on the LHD which is scary naked when it comes to air defense

That we have tanks for the LHD's is a must, but we should have also light tanks. We should be able to equip our LHD to the need of the war: Land attack would require heavy tanks, island attack is better to have light tanks etc.

Yes, but that's the case with manned aircraft even more

Somehow our landforces are not fond of 40mm cannons

That's an early conclusion you draw before the tender has begun

My bad, I mistook it for Iranian flag

Yes it was AVL. Is AVL really providing consultancy to Iran, while it was embargoed for Turkey? Go figure those European dipshits!

Although it is beyond me how the small AI-25 engine is going to lift the MIUS from the short LHD strip I am thrilled to see the bird in the air insallah.

Tümosan gave no project to BMC With the tank engine development program Tümosan had years ago won the project to develop a tank engine. Tümosan partnered with an Austrian company but the Austrian government placed an embargo. So Tümosan failed to fulfil the plan on time and despite their asking...

Not sure but the paint work could look like that because of RAM material, it is not that Baykar can't make clean surface (just look at how smooth the surface of TB2 is)

You don't need to sink a ship to turn it useless

Giving TOT is not a problem I think. Let's face it TB2 tech is not new, developed in 2014, armed in 2016. Tech in this sector goes very fast, you can't contain it even if you want it. If we don't sell someone else will, if not this year than next year.

We may have to look for config like: - 8 cell = 8 siper blk 1 (100km) - 4 cell = 16 siper blk1 without booster (40km) - 4 cell = 16 ESSM 40missiles, not bad

It is said that the missile without booster will be quadpack, if so than range will be ~40km for blk 1, but blk 2 should provide more range

Very well dude, but how we reach a LOS height of 8km? Do we have a mount everest in Turkiye I do not know of?

Again and again it is the upgrading of M60, I really wonder what is keeping the Leopard 2A4 upgrade and more strange is nobody is even asking SSB whether Leopard upgrade is dead but not buried yet

Dogfights in war becomes indeed less and less important, but we use our fighters / drones most of the time in peace time were dogfights do happen! It's a passive aggressive way to chase away opposing fighter jets and may well be in the wish list of the airforce / navy to be able to dogfight.

Because her engine is still under development. One way would be to use Ukrainian engines or Czech micro turbojet to have prototypes or limited initial production

I doubt that Gezgin is in inventory while the engine is still in development or they've used a suitable Ukrainian engine, but than again it should be in tests
