It's hard to believe that this is really the first landing of KAAN! TAI have done an extraordinary job.

I looked at this photo and cried a little bit. So many things went through my mind, so many things I had planned to write when the first flight took place. But I know that we all already have the same feelings in our hearts, the same pride, the same mood of feeling that we have overcome our...

Is there any study started in Korea on magnetic catapult systems? The French will use EMALS in the new type of aircraft carrier they are designing, but I think GA got that tender, so it is outsourced to the US.

Okay, I won't insist. :) Sulh (Peace) and (Mavi)Vatan (Blue Homeland) are the ones I like the most among the ones shared so far. Although their word origins are foreign, they have been common words in our spoken language for millennia.

What I actually mean is that it should be an air base capable of hangaring around/over 3 squadrons of fighter jets, providing ground services, ensuring their uninterrupted maintenance, and managing safe flight operations, if we measure it according to air force norms. On top of that, for the...

If we continue to evaluate the issue in terms of naval structuring rather than in the context of AC's nomenclature, Trakya LHD will likely be a platform that looks like the one below: And again, we will probably see a retrofit planning that will include some changes to the LHD Anadolu flight...

Anyway, I didn't think my suggestion about the name would come to this point. lol. For me, seeing that 65.000-ton Turkish Republic Navy flagship in the water and experiencing that beauty with the eyes of the world is one of my biggest dreams. I also feel obliged to clarify something, even if it...

So in a possible war, you seem to have immediately discarded the aircraft carrier. Maybe we will win that war with the aircraft carrier that destroyed the traditional combatant organization of the enemy, don't be so sure that we can't protect it. Even if its name is Zafer (Victory), even if its...

After a couple of weeks, let's add the 7-8 most popular suggestions to the thread as a poll. @Sanchez

We have seen navy ships named carried the title of Ottoman sultans, but is there a special reason why they are not named after our national heroes of the Republican era? Atatürk is more than a national hero, he is the eternal leader of our nation, the founder of the republic and our first...

It should also be noted that Trakya and AC are not the same ships. In other words, in the mid-2030s, not 2 but 3 carriers with open decks for fixed wing air platforms will be in the navy inventory. An armada with these 3 ships at its center can carry roughly around 80, maybe over 100 fixed wing...

IMHO, the list shared by Cabatli Üstad is not a imposible thing for current capacity (the problematic part may be financing and subsystem procurement, not hull production), but in 10 years' time it will take on a very different dimension. The order books of many shipyards will consist almost...

On a 60k ton full scale aircraft carrier, I would expect to see a design that focuses on sortie density, such as an angled flight deck for simultaneous landing operations, and multiple flight lines that would allow more aircraft to prepare for flight at the same time... In fact, the...

We are entering a very turbulent period globally. Therefore, the development of countries' defense capacities will be the primary issue for about 20 years. First national security, then bread. If we can move KAAN smoothly into the FOC phase, we will have a real challenge in creating a...

In order to increase its global impact, the defence and aerospace industry should also globalize both its industrial collaborations and academic connections. Malaysia is one of the countries with the best academic infrastructure in the Asian region, with some world-renowned universities...

Turkey and Greece will formally join the German-led missile-defense project European Sky Shield The wind is changing direction? We are starting another joint military program with the Germans after years, let's see what comes out of it.

IMHO, a typical ASW vessel is a giant island of electronic and acoustic noise-maker on the surface. Radar emission can be detected at great distances, sensitive sonar systems can estimate the course. But the worst case scenario for a submarine is to be detected within the engagement limits of...

If they act in coordination in the Eastern Med, Israel and Libya; Egypt and Turkiye cannot be cornered by US on these common geopolitics issues. The collective power that possible Egyptian-Turkish alliance can limit the space for the great powers to act on our backyard.

I think Egypt-Turkiye rapprochement is not in line with the interests of either the US or Russia.

I am thinking that the Hydro-GIDS system could be reconfigured to be installed on navy ships. With two launchers, each with 4/5 ALPAGUTs**, E/O system, Radar mast, and communication antennas, it would be a great countermeasure solution for these kamikaze USVs. If power management can be...
