    Navy Turkish Aircraft Carrier Project

    Maybe Turkey can consider doing some STO and arrested landing tests for a naval hurjet? It could have interim potential with relevant retrofit configuration on TCG anadolu....I checked the total length is reasonable at around 232 metres....and I assume enough of that is available for landing if...
