Part 2 @Saithan : In fact they may have already calculated how much more % wise they need it (forex saving ratio) at roughly (to handle the climb coming into view...and seeing where the inverted yield is for Lira itself), i.e This could be just phase 1 in the bump up...and more phases to...

Not sad at all....if there is brutal cold resource analysis that outputs this route as more optimal, its the way to go. Isp is just one factor.....i.e do we put a ferrari engine in every car? Methalox is halfway there between kerolox and hydrolox in Isp, yet carries lot of the advantages of...

You were born in the wrong time sonny and wrong warfare discipline. You should have been in the Roman navy, they loved ramming the hell outta others.

Generally have to go big like Tangail or go home. Large lessons were learned (by defending team as well) during WW2 when SAS successfully raided major Luftwaffe air base: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raid_on_Sidi_Haneish_Airfield So replicating it after OG becomes fraught with difficulties...

I honestly still dont get what the Aussies were thinking with shortfin barracuda. They should have gone for quick SSK option with either Germans or the French. Or if SSN was good (and always on the plate to consider), then go with the barracuda, astute or virginia. They just wasted a whole...

BTW guys, I just had a chat with retired RCN submariner bud of mine. His opinion TIFWIW: Don’t get too excited. The most likely outcome of this (SSN) decision is that Australia doesn’t get any submarines.

@MisterLike et al. what do you think about merging this thread with the other two and pinning it. I feel this debate and discussion is just getting started and would be good to have it all in one place and pinned for easy access. Other two similar threads...

Hey bro, saw you are back to the forum now and then. Hope everything is well with you and yours (y)

Like I get what you mean, but I think its something lot more mundane than that. Turkish govt essentially has the clearest picture at hand on what (forex) payments are coming up (that its staring at, given they signed up for it) regarding foreign debt in final quarter of this FY and some grey...

Hmmm...maybe thats what that german website is talking about with the 2xCE-20 for the SHLV....i.e this methalox engine x2 instead. Hopefully ISRO gives clear picture soon what the routes are firmly. Even though methalox (semi cryo methane + LOX) has slightly worse Isp than full-cryo...

Keep telling yourself that. Things were really bad in the media for a long while before either.

Like I'll bite your "bait" I guess? Have you done an actual number crunch vis a vis %'s relative to flight hours of the platform in IAF use? Something you know how to do or even what that is? Sure whatever you say. I'm sure you will have lot better luck (compared to the dozens of Pakistanis...

I agree with this overall. Pakistan has done reasonably with the situation it got and leveraged it (the close alliance with PRC) to get a decent airframe to fill out its squadrons it can take forward too.

Well working outwards from CE-20 (once its proven+reliable), you are correct about its final potential given its quite the monster for final stage (200kN +/- 20kN). i.e one could technically have variants with immense lower stages to get to the envelope you speak of. Some websites even have a...

The larger point is when the US detected the whereabouts, whether they chose to cooperate with a "Major non nato ally" or didn't (w.r.t "unwittingly" hosting the guy). It more than anything highlighted what the "Major non nato ally" stuff really involved in the end (basic logistics and airspace...
