    India Defence Industry, R&D and Procurements

    This will be the part that needs lot of verification testing over the years coming up. The torpedo itself final kill capability is quite good....its really the detecting and sensoring for targets and datalinking this (with mid course and final insertion corrections) that will really make or...

    TR Propulsion Systems

    @Anmdt you have made some excellent detailed points, and you have expanded well in the domain I just left as "MTBO threshold". There is lot that fills beneath it in a relatively more mundane but still important way....especially accounting for operation intensity and system size/power at large...

    Defence Fair IDEF 2021 News & Discussion Updates

    Totally agree splitting into 3 expos/fairs by service branch theme...Land, Aerospace and Marine. Surely this has been suggested before and starting to be considered?...especially given Turkey defence industry increasingly becoming more diverse and involving companies of all sizes. Hopefully...

    Engineering Aero and Industrial Gas Turbine Technologies

    Basically its a turbofan that is optimised in both regimes of operation. (supersonic and subsonic). Remember a (traditional, non adaptive) turbofan today has its turbojet core (sets highest speed) and fan (sets highest efficiency). You have to pick one as the primary objective for the engine...

    History and Culture

    An excellent series on Mexico's history (Esp w.r.t its northern neighbour). If you don't have time to watch it all (though I highly recommend that you do), I would suggest watching at least the last chapter (chapter X of part 3, i.e 1:21:00 onwards, about 40 minutes long) to get a solid...

    TR Propulsion Systems

    1% better efficiency is not something to get stuck on too much. The meantime between overhaul should be considered first (as this shows what the total realised resistance to creep in hot section etc is like). For Zorya family it is around 30,000 hours For LM2500 family it is around 50,000...

    Canada Navy Canada SSK program

    I wonder if we need to look into what the relevant shipyard occupancy rates are projected like for these 3 countries. That will give a measure of crucial cost and time that may be involved for each. Comparing the systems themselves qualitatively on various components can be done as...

    I know what you mean, I see it during the upload process too sometimes, but the watermark doesn't seem to stick in the final images as they appear in the post. Maybe @MisterLike knows what glitch is going on here?

    PK Navy Jinnah Class Frigate Project

    I'd agree overall. The doctrine suggests more intent in sub-surface potency given its relevant force-multiplication (w.r.t investment and time needed) to the Pakistani naval situation at large (and options there w.r.t what's rigid and flexible). I would go far as to say the surface fleet is...

    Live Conflict Afghanistan - United States War(2001- 2021)

    Never underestimate two things: A) The short term perceived utility in a cop out + convenient bogeyman to the highly insular, ensconced and privileged B) The long term consequences and how they end up playing out This affects every society, only the issues and degrees vary.

    Live Conflict Afghanistan - United States War(2001- 2021)

    You win some, you lose some. Not every project can turn out like East Pakistan in the end which is far better return than AFG could ever hope to be. Former East Pakistan now exports something like 3 times what its western remnant does now....and has basic impetus to become 3 times more...
