This was the main post I made on MIUS thread about how traditional "fixed cycle/bypass" works: https://defencehub.live/threads/anka-iii-mius-%C2%A6-kizilelma-mius-%C2%A6-akinci-%C2%A6-aksungur-plus-various-unmanned-autonomous-programs.6/page-353#post-215578 A variable cycle engine would...

Its going to continue into next year

Anti-Tank Guided Missiles or ATGMs have become a defining symbol of the Ukrainian fight against Russian invasion. They have destroyed countless armoured vehciles and provided endless material for viral social media clips. But why have ATGMs been so effective in the war so far, and could that be...

Earlier post I made on the underlying issue: https://defencehub.live/threads/propulsion-systems.3/page-108#post-231343 Especially this part: and this earlier one: Essentially (variable cycle) allows engines of much higher bypass than 1:1 to go supersonic by the (flow management, ducting...

If "aviation" sector is included, it could be any number of things in regular commercial trade.

Some other stuff I wrote earlier, I just did a search with plutonium: https://defencehub.live/threads/pakistan-will-transfer-nuclear-weapons-technology-to-turkiye.4186/page-2#post-41919 https://defencehub.live/threads/figes-is-developing-indigenous-thorium-reactors.4896/#post-52362...

Yes that is what chocopie means by special breeder reactor. These are designed to take the Pu-239 out early before Pu-240 contamination becomes an issue i.e uneconomically since in typical commercial reactor you want the Pu to remain and produce power as long as possible...but makes sense if...

Hope you read my subsequent reply (regd Japan and Korea being the likely ones in the anti-PRC arc). I am not requesting anything, simply stating that what goes around, always comes around. The countries I list in S.E.A (Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia) will deep down also be quite content and...

Merry Christmas everybuddy! Now I have a machine gun.... HO-HO-HO

Well I was going a bit far myself. I don't see anyone past Japan and Korea acquiring them tbh. It comes with significant economic, political and industrial pressure and commitment this late in the juncture. Korea for example developed its Hyunmoo Ballistic missile in the 1980s. Japan...

Hi folks, lets keep this thread strictly about Turkish nuclear energy program. All posts about nuclear weapons etc have been moved here: https://defencehub.live/threads/developments-in-nuclear-weapons-around-the-world.14095/ Please continue that conversation over there, thanks.

Cannot come soon enough. I hope this century, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia also get them. Whether they declare openly or not, that is up to them....but the payback w.r.t CCP geopolitical decision to proliferate will inevitably return with interest this century. ROK Navy has made...

Some AIP program visuals:

I do know French so I can provide translation for any moment if requested by member here, but here are some visuals from the recently concluded Garuda exercise with French Air Force:

Yup..."going down the rabbit hole" phenomenon as I call it. A definite catch 22 as you put it. I've lost track of number of times I've told a "leftie" or "rightie" they are being used against each other (by the powerful)....but to no avail most of the time, they are too invested in what they've...
