Gökbey with indigenous engine is expected to be delivered 2026. A three engine version is a brand new helicopter so imagine how long that would take... I wonder if it would be easier to try and develop an engine for T925 or find it some other way. Would be nice if Ukraine gave us the license...

I also want to know if there are any plans to modernize the AH1W, since a replacement isn't coming soon. Would be cool if we changed electro optics and integrated Cirit and Omtas / Umtas at minimum, since they are normally able to carry Hellfire.

I am more hopeful for Naval variant, but it's unlikely it will carry all the payloads Seahawk carry at once which is a limitation. I am more concerned about land operations where it will have to face stringers and gunfire.

Most important point seems to be that as seekers get better, they go all in on hit to kill, reducing need for larger missiles

They get beween 11-18% of defence budget. In US, navy and air force are both about 35%.

I know there isn't much news on this front but I think it's worth going back to talk about our needs for more military transport and utility helicopters. We have a decent amount of attack helicopters, but T70 production has been going far behind schedule due to many factors and T925 engine...

I guess Hisar D RF missile being integrated to Advent and MIDLAS etc. They had to rethink the entire concept and turn it into a new product. Plus it probably needs the datalink and guidance to be adapted to the ship and naval warfare. Maybe it will behave like Aegis automated defence

When is the ceremony and where is it broadcasted?

It's also a magnetic launch system for munitions

I've found a really detailed answer about stealth characteristics, in thsi case around J20. If you are curious...

Found another example of aligning with outer edge of inlet, also J20. I guess it's not that uncommon.

Vertical stabilizers are there because they need to align with diverter plates for stealth don't they? Otherwise they would have to maybe align with outer side of inlet like su 57 and that would be a bit too far

FPGA development is good, hope we get more news about multicore processors. We should grow an ecosystem.

I'm talking entirely hypothethically, I don't see this happening at all really but just as a thought exercise, in a scenario where especially Turkey - Nato relations continue to sour, a Pakistan - China - Turkey joint naval taskforce in Indian ocean would shake the world a quite bit.

I doubt Pakistan and Turkey care much about pleasing India

Turkish - Pakistani joint naval task force with Somalia and Maldives bases would be interesting. TF2000 urgency is increasing.

The machines we are buying from Qatar right?

You should see a gastroenterologist 😁

If it flies and finds things needs to be fixed, these are problems what would have occured at a later point and would delay the project. If such issues are found earlier by a couple years because we flew a prototype early that would accelerate the project compared to other approach. But yes this...
