Maybe the F35 talks includes just F35B and parts production. That could also work for us.
Yes there is a question that wheter we can operate them independetly or not but it could be good for naval aviation progress and help us train naval aircraft operation.
So if all goes well we will end up with additional F16's, EF2000, F35 and MMU.
It will be quite the contrast the situation we are in right now. We do like the extremes :D
I think we are redefining our FAC requirements considering the developments in the unmaned sector. Lots of concepts may potentially be able to take the role of the FAC's and we may not require as much as FAC's as before.
What are your thoughts about Dearsan's frigate?
It looks like just what we need. I guess they can build them rather quickly but they are not even mentioned.
Are there common secrets that Navy doesn't even consider Dearsan or is it just that Navy being conservetive and only work with their...
Yes but delivery date isn't changed and first flight will be after elections.
Both of these are why I am still confident that earlier first flight didn't happen because of the elections.
I think it is done because they need actual data from the airframe and we don't have any test aircraft...
I am now wondering Mete for infantary usage. Would it be better than granades or would it be an usefull alternative?(for against machine gun encampements or targets in the buildings etc)
Atak2 and AW101 totally different type of helicopters that had very different mission profiles. If we had priotrize our 10T helicopter you may be right but at the moment we don't have many options. Our Seahawk numbers are just enough for our other ships and only local option we have at the...
Not all of those M1's are the same standart. There are lots of older versions in the storage. They have the same hull but capabilities are very different. ( The first M1 model even has 105mm gun and this is just the gun.)
Lol. Our quiteness about helicopter acquisition for Anadolu made Italians come to us for offer. They are like "You guys want to use helicopters on this ship right? I mean we have very capable helicopters just for this. We waited for tender but nothing came about so we just want to check"(This...
This is correct. As far as i know Super Raid gun needs to change barrel after fully used in 120 rpm mode. But only super rapid gun is considered as CIWS so we can assume that 120rpm is a must if you intend to use your main gun as a CIWS.
I guess our navy also wants that and that is the reason...
This decision only make defence industry unappealing to the new generation.
+1
It is really wonderous. They are making this law instead of fixing nepotism.
What happened to Aselsan's project?
We have 40 panthers(actually there are lots of speculations to this number as well) and we have 3 different project to put them on trucks.
If this works, will we produce more?
I didn't mean 130mm guns as norm. I meant we are ending up with couple of compaines that produces a system that we had problems to acquire.(Like engines or 30mm guns etc)
I don't think we will. I would agree with you before but nowadays I trust the abilities of MKE. They've changed. If there is a request I believe MKE can develop a 130mm gun by themselves.
At worst, if they can't at first in the end we would end up with 3 companies that developed 130mm guns...
