I mean the recent rafale engagements showed that, at least for 4th gen, big radar + big missile sees and shoots first. So whether a small radar is technologically advanced or good on its own doesn't matter, if the adversary has significant edge in raw numbers in terms of specs (or maybe...

Well 300 is a heavy projectile, it's not optimized for range. In fact it's mostly for subsonic use with suppressors, but it does have supersonic rounds that are ok for some range. Inaccurate to compare it to rounds that are optimized for range

Fighters are already required to patrol and pilots need to fulfill certain flight hours, part of why army is sustainable ( they ensure funds are not reallocated at times of peace by keeping a certain level of readiness and keeping expenditure relatively high) so instead of more training flight...

But for how long

At least it can loiter long, so you can have tb3 take off early and then populate the deck

KE can't land on anadolu without massive revision of deck or without seriously risking damaging the ship and crew. Simple as that

Would they still go aheas and start construction of blocks to save time?

The compromise seems to be KE carries only one of these (maybe two maybe not) instead of all 3 of Murad, Karat and Toygun

Hypersonic used to mean hypersonic cruise missile or glide vehicle, not ballistic because ballistics were indeed hypersonic in some sense. İt's sustained maneuverable hypersonic air breathing missiles and hybrids that became a big deal few years back. İt could be that the warhead can be air...

Lead time for new orders is that at least, for reference its 2 years for tomahawk

Try 1 year

Unlikely Well, more internal systems I guess, not just structurals. Like toygun and cooling etc

I mean if the point is to have a piece of steel that float we could have it tomorrow!

Isnt CAFRAD basically using same panels as EIRS

You are missing something crucial. Turkey has the only large Nato or Us allied navy without integration to a system like AEGIS / PAAMS / APAR. We are part of nato but not exactly part of a large and deeply integrated international network for stopping ballistic missiles and air defense which...

No 10 lhd and 5000 kaan

Arleigh burke are also 2 billion a piece. Putting multiple siper system equivalent on a huge ship will obviously cost a lot. But we do need at least 4

Extreme strategic mistake

Im pretty sure US did use sm3 to kill drones before, they dont like to take risk trying to reduce risk with sm2

They could have done it the first time if they really wanted, they just want whoever is there to play ball and be a good little puppet. So if threatening the existing one and leaving them defenseless doesnt work they just put the final nail in coffin and place new one
