    Historical Warship Design and History

    Off top of my head (so prone to errors): Not just for U-boats (who's optical rangefinders were constrained by housing size in the periscope etc).....but also supposed to make optical rangefinding harder for regular warships too....given in the end the coincidence process (superimposing two...

    If it is anything like US system (that started this messy slop of rear admiral lower instead of cleaner commodore in mid 1980s....and then commodore becomes this special captain "+" rank)... ....the crew might often refer to this kind of captain as "Commodore" but in official communications it...

    Korea Featured Space Programs

    Now thats a name (LRO) I haven't heard in a long time....a long time. Takes me back to LCROSS mission analysis studies ~ 2010 when water on moon was becoming a huge fulcrum of lunar studies. That is nuts LRO still going (though apparently going to run out of onboard station keeping fuel next...

    India Jet Engines and Gas Turbines

    If I had to guess, jet exit velocity....so yes airspeed in essence. Or it could be high pressure spool RPM. Correlated to final thrust yes (that is dependent on the ambient air conditions).

    Pakistan Imran Khan News and Discussions

    "yellow journalism" ISPR accused al jazeera of regarding the JAAC violence/protests.... BBC was also there investigating/reporting. So now this fell swoop is done to curtail reporting of it.

    TCG = the Turkish coastguard though right? The coastguard anyway needs admirals @Saithan (or peacetime highest officer rank equivalents if a military operates that way with flag officer promotion only during wartime etc). It has to do with shared logistics and unified CnC with the navy. It is...

    This is just a bureaucratic approval at this point combined with some media clickbait opportunism etc. Details of how the AMCA powerplant shapes up is longer term thing.

    TECHINT Türkiye’s role in Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program

    I think Indian own heavy water production gained adequate capacity in the 1990s...and India started exporting heavy water as well from then on to various countries (including China....but especially to South Korea, US and some western countries too)

    TECHINT Türkiye’s role in Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program

    Somewhat even more surprising is same file has INT trace of Chinese supply to India of heavy water (when all western/advanced economies shut supply all down when NSG was formed from NPT). A "Chinese role in Indian NWP" if you will (using equivalent of the thread title)...since PRC govt. would...
