    Taiwan To Plan $7 Billion Missile Boost

    They might hopefully have deep chat with some relevant Japanese regarding closest cards Japan keeps to its chest regarding "at short notice" WMD....and see what can be done for Taiwan's case to establish behind the scenes full deterrence against PRC. Current Taiwanese administration has a good...

    George C. Marshall and staff rotation in WWII US military

    Before I watch this later when I have more free time, a small aside about G. C Marshall may be in order. Marshall is somewhat (given where the spotlight tends to go in a war) an underrated general and character in many ways. This is mostly due to fact he was not in theater direct command role...

    TR Propulsion Systems

    I don't see much chance in co-production. India is a heavy zorya user and there has been huge shift lately to get MRO for zorya onshore (in India) as much as possible....but that has been about the maximum Zorya (Ukraine) was willing to do (even with the scale present in IN). They would be even...

    India Defence Industry, R&D and Procurements

    This will be the part that needs lot of verification testing over the years coming up. The torpedo itself final kill capability is quite good....its really the detecting and sensoring for targets and datalinking this (with mid course and final insertion corrections) that will really make or...

    TR Propulsion Systems

    @Anmdt you have made some excellent detailed points, and you have expanded well in the domain I just left as "MTBO threshold". There is lot that fills beneath it in a relatively more mundane but still important way....especially accounting for operation intensity and system size/power at large...

    Defence Fair IDEF 2021 News & Discussion Updates

    Totally agree splitting into 3 expos/fairs by service branch theme...Land, Aerospace and Marine. Surely this has been suggested before and starting to be considered?...especially given Turkey defence industry increasingly becoming more diverse and involving companies of all sizes. Hopefully...

    Engineering Aero and Industrial Gas Turbine Technologies

    Basically its a turbofan that is optimised in both regimes of operation. (supersonic and subsonic). Remember a (traditional, non adaptive) turbofan today has its turbojet core (sets highest speed) and fan (sets highest efficiency). You have to pick one as the primary objective for the engine...

    History and Culture

    An excellent series on Mexico's history (Esp w.r.t its northern neighbour). If you don't have time to watch it all (though I highly recommend that you do), I would suggest watching at least the last chapter (chapter X of part 3, i.e 1:21:00 onwards, about 40 minutes long) to get a solid...

    TR Propulsion Systems

    1% better efficiency is not something to get stuck on too much. The meantime between overhaul should be considered first (as this shows what the total realised resistance to creep in hot section etc is like). For Zorya family it is around 30,000 hours For LM2500 family it is around 50,000...

    Canada Navy Canada SSK program

    I wonder if we need to look into what the relevant shipyard occupancy rates are projected like for these 3 countries. That will give a measure of crucial cost and time that may be involved for each. Comparing the systems themselves qualitatively on various components can be done as...

    I know what you mean, I see it during the upload process too sometimes, but the watermark doesn't seem to stick in the final images as they appear in the post. Maybe @MisterLike knows what glitch is going on here?
