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...

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...

Done...and stickied given its importance.

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...

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...

Would you like me to combine the 2 threads into one thread about Canadian SSK program?

Is there a DRDO paper referring to this?

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?

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...

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.

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...

Throwback time:

What do @Anmdt @DAVEBLOGGINS think of this design?

I agree...I have raised this issue wherever possible with people in the know. I would steer clear of shortfin barracuda personally...one ends up paying SSN prices without the (N). Just look at the Aussie nightmare unfolding on it. CSC cost escalations are already going to be massively painful...

More or less whatever ends up happening (say best case scenario for longevity and AI etc), it is baked in problem from the decades of 1 child policy (creating both the raw demographic replacement rate undermining and the skewed gender ratio). Addressing it to manage it (economically and...

Ramjet maturing will indeed be quite interesting to follow in Turkish defence industry.
