Bro, Our problem is the engine for the ASW helicopter and the T925. With the Ukranian engine the helicopter is not really what the Navy wants. If we had the engine, we would have the rest anyway. Italians and the British use SNECMA engines. We wouldn’t want French engines. Navy has given an...

According to this information the MUGEM will be protected by 2/3 Destroyers, 3/2 frigates and couple of MILDEN subs. Also in terms of self protection it will have a 32 cell VLS, 4 x Gokdeniz CWIS and 7 x RCWS guns. (Hopefully - although not mentioned but shown - a couple of GOKSUR point defence...

https://www.hurriyet.com.tr/gundem/deniz-kuvvetlerinin-milli-ucak-gemisi-gelecek-yil-mavi-sularla-bulusmaya-hazirlaniyor-43155482 The commander of Naval forces has stated that the MUGEM will be launched next year. Even if it is an empty shell, that is really fast. I guess we will wait another...

https://simpleflying.com/how-eurofighter-aesa-radar-compares-f-35-an-apg-81/ An interesting and useful article outlining how good ECRSS-MK2 Aesa radar is. It actually gives the Typhoon a new lease of life in aerial combat. Even though F35’s Aesa radar is designed with a sensor fusion...

A Reis class section 50 was manufactured in Gürdesan Shipyard. I wonder how good and satisfactory that exercise was! Giving work to subcontractors like these can be an option. But as the size of ships in question increase, as you mention, the tolerances become more of an issue. Provided they are...

Everyone is talking about Israel pulling the strings of Trump and US being manipulated by the Jewish lobby in US etc. No one is mentioning how long this can last. There is a; Midterm elections in the US this autumn: They occur two years after each presidential election. Elections are held for...

Golcuk is experienced in submarine manufacturing Which is a very specialised technology. But as certain parts and blocks are manufactured by the eco system they have set up, under their watchful eyes another production line elsewhere can be set up. Our @Anmdt can enlighten us better about this...

You are correct. RR current commercial SMRs use LEU. But they are investigating the HALEU usage. US predominantly use HALEU fuel in their SMRs. .

If I remember correctly we were looking in to RR compact reactors that were HEU type which are suggested for Aukus program and are used in Astute and Trafalgar class SSNs. Also there were discussions with US regarding compact reactors, which I believe also of HEU type. Both these reactors are...

If we had the money and didn‘t need other platforms like frigates and helicopters, I would love to have 4 or even 6 of these Tepe Destroyers. But 2 x 5500ton frigates can easily perform all the duties of a Tepe Class with similar fire power. This way you don’t put all your eggs in one basket...

You have written it so well that it is not possible not to agree with it. But there are few issues I can’t stop from pointing out. Do we really need to expand a sphere of influence by military means? We are no longer an imperial power. We don’t want to be an imperialistic country. Besides, that...

I am sorry mate. But you don’t seem to understand what people are telling you either. 1. We don’t need a MUGEM. 2. We don’t need Tepe Class destroyers. They are both too expensive and unnecessary expenses on our already strained economy. We don’t have access to open Oceans. We don’t have...

You are very much mistaken I am afraid. Those calculations are done sparingly, taking today’s money in consideration. Come 2030s those figures will have increased pro rata, with inflation. The destroyers and frigates you have to allocate to your battle group is for the battle group. Your naval...

I like your optimism. I hope we will have the financial clout to build an aircraft carrier. People look at the similar sized aircraft carriers and think, 5-6 billion dollars is something we can afford. Well, today we can’t even afford that. Because we need other weapons to develop and serially...

So we still need technical help from original designers to keep an Assault Ship in working condition. That clearly says that without the help of Navantia our LHD could not have been built to start with. How do you think we can build an even more difficult and technically challenging ship like an...

At the moment there is no such physical project. But there is the will and a project in the hands of Qataris and Turks. Discussions to revive the long-stalled Qatar-Turkey gas pipeline project have resurfaced following significant political shifts in the region, particularly after the fall of...

You are right. I should have said . Biggest buyers of Venezuela’s oil. Between 2000 and 2010 largest buyer was USA with China being second. Between 2010 and 2023 largest buyer by far was China. Check out the 2023 Chinese portion of purchase.

Guys, forget about the generation argument. Tusas knows what the next stage is going to be. This generation palaver, is all academic. US produced F22 as a stealth aircraft which made its first flight in 1997. First F35A flew Dec 2006. Even though it is a more modern aircraft, f35A is no...
