    TR Aircraft Carrier & Amphibious Ship Programs

    No idea about what Koreans are doing but seems like so for France and the UK are looking to get a half power EMALS too, named something else to make the ship UCAV and small plane launch capable. Also nowadays both launch and recovery are magnetically operated, so similar components will be used...

    We only rank #8 in military power so it is risky to put all eggs in one basket.

    Another consideration meanwhile is if an AC deck can be used to recover space launch vehicles' first stage like they do with Space X first stages. It can be a side job for an AC if they can make it happen. Actually even launching a space rocket with the help of an LHD, an AC or an LST would be a...

    TR Aircraft Carrier & Amphibious Ship Programs

    As far as I understand it if there is no catapult to assist take off you need to keep the ship speeding in the water to help give planes taking off additional air speed. You can do this if you have nuclear propulsion but when you don't have it you will be consuming fuel to do it. So it is a must...

    A 60k ton, 285m long ship is a full size hip. Bigger ships are not big because they have to be but because of more storage capacity. An EMALS is only 300ft long and can launch a plane of 100.000lb. A half power EMALS is all we need as larger planes are neither more effective nor more economical...

    Turkish Military Stance in Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean

    I don't think so, where will European tourists go if Türkiye and Greece are out of the picture. Likewise how will the US protect American assets against Türkiye?

    People never pay the money until Erdoğan orders it. People never want to pay money.

    Atatürk associated himself with peace, so it is not suitable to involve his name with weapons. While on the other hand Erdoğan is all about belligerence and you probably already know but I still see the need to remind you that Erdoğan is the president who is ordering this ship and most likely...

    TCG Zafer would be the most appropriate name for the new carrier ship.

    Countries' vision of the future maybe different from how it looks, nobody could guess that there would be talk of a world war 3 just a few years ago.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    No, from Gibraltar to Indonesia. As long as they are affordable we can have several, particularly because they are fossil fueled and have limited range. They are more like mobile bases.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    British Carriers are under-performing ships that no one will want. That is evident from the fact that they intend to modify them heavily particularly making them UAV friendly. We need a ship that is 285 meter long weighing 60k tons and that can operate smaller planes like the UCAVs we are...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    We can make them cheaper. US makes equipment to be costly so that other nations can not catch up. But we made UAVs cheaper we can make ACs cheaper too. Our field of interest spans from the west of Africa to the east of Indian Ocean and we can use conventional propulsion to cover this span.

    Timing is critical, ideally we want an AC that we will want to make more than a few of but making a high quality AC with EMALS catapults and nuclear propulsion can be challenging. Therefore a first step basic AC with conventional propulsion and lower throughput can be acceptable. We need to look...

    A few weeks ago I shared that MKE have established a company in the US, seems like they built a production line there but the news avoids saying it is a Turkish company making America's munitions. I don't think MKE is just selling production lines.

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    One of the Anka3 drone's roles is air interception, of actually what? Drones, helicopters, freighters, other slow planes and cruise missiles are a given but can she intercept 4th and 5th generation fighters. I don't see why not owing to its stealth character I would say she is "ambush master #2"...
