It seems like we have everything needed to make a wildcat except seaspray radar. We have the heli of same weight and size, we have engines of same power level in fact aren't they same engines on first 3 ? We have the ASELFLIR400D for electro optics, we have Kuzgun TJ instead of Sea Venom, we...

Is putting machine guns on sides also an option? Shouldn't be too difficult if needed right? I wonder if 12.7 or even Venom LR would be possible, would be interesting

Hisar D RF already differs from Hisard O RF somewhat right? So from this statement Hisar D RF block 2 will be like a hybrid between Siper and Hisar.

The thickness at thickest point is what matters so yes.

Remember the MIDLAS model from idef 23, quadpacked Hisar D Block 2 looked very tight fit already, and Siper Block 1 was there as well, Siper Block 2 might just be too big.

That looks like a much bigger seeker so that's nice. Curious about lack of dual stage, wonder if Blok 1 would perform better at 70-100km range

Now try with MIDLAS :)

That launch for low altitude hit looked impressive, quick overshoot to change direction and no sort of visible oscillation. It's thanks to tvc right?

Military procurement and planning is a difficult process. Moreso for us. We can't only think if a platform looks good we buy a 100 right now. We have to consider maintainability and availability, current capabilities and how it will hold up in future in 10 years, how will it be modernized etc...

Renewable is much cheaper than either and Turkey has enough combined wind and solar potential to feed entire grid eventually. Shoukd prioritize that

There is obviously significant military involvement by our side but I think this could be Russian-Greek propaganda to cause unrest by distorting facts.

I love this livery by the way, the camo on the mockup made it look a bit like a toy.

You need the total package with a bit of everything properly, but adding any significant capability you didn't have before could briefly feel like a wunderwaffe moment. The f16s being transferred to ukraine are block 20 MLU, apparently when F35 got delayed they decided to do a modernization...

They do still need trained personnel and even if they get all 4 corvettes they will need a safe port and couple submarines and additional vessels to support these in proper operation. So probably these ships are going to be more relevant once the war is over for keeping the peace. Does Ukraine...

I mean its not a technical issue. It's entirely about political will at this point. Also is this AI written?

I mean yes, we are not doomed, so if we can't get x we'll get what we can and desperate times call for desperate measures mentality is understandable. Whether it will work or not, we shall see, but if Iran can manage we should be able to. It is a sad sentence to be writing however.

I expect KE, in addition to all the stuff our current UAV do with higher payloads / longer ranged munitions, to perform A2A missions as an extension of other air defence systems against most 4th gen and somewhat less modern aircraft, like Migs and Sukhoi etc. It would be additional capability...

Yes and fate of pardus makes me skeptical. That's specifically why I stated I'd wish for a common project with EU or some other international partnership. But even migrating to an existinf Linux distro would work.

Meaningful for cost savings and possibly transitioning towards more well maintained software from outdated in house solutions. But a decree and 9 months, could cause a disaster. Also important to evaluate which software should be chosen and have local companies etc contribute to development of...
