Israeli Rampage is the same as a trg300 adapted to be carried and launched by F16s. It can be fired whilst f16 is at supersonic speeds, and 4 of them can be carried by an f16. These missiles fly at 4.2 mach at mid course and are difficult to intecrept. Israelis give 250km range with impact...

Congratulations to Baykar! I always thought the take off should be no problem. And with a slightly more powerful engine like PD220, heavier payloads will be possible. It was the landing I was worried about. If you watch the landing, the flightpath is very close to the edge of the big rear...

It is all members’’ responsibility to report such statements so that action can be taken. You don’t need to use vulgar and offensive language to put across your views. There are more than one way to skin a cat. A civil and explanatory response usually mean a great deal more than swearing.

https://turdef.com/article/israel-destroys-taleghan-2-iranian-nuclear-research-facility I don’t know if anybody shared this news before. Apparently during October retaliatory strike, Israel has bombed a site called Taleghan that was supposed to be inactive and closed . But clandestinely in...

Akıncı with a powerful Ukranian engine actually took off with a 870kg NEB and other payloads totalling some 1360kg and reached 30000ft, flying for 13 hours 24 minutes. Total take off weight was 6049kg. This was to prove a point. As it is, this bomb is not guided. It needs a HGK guidance kit...

F16s are used because MK83 and MK84 class bombs can only be delivered by F16 planes. Especially the bunker busting types. To be effective against deep caves dwellers we need these heavier bombs. No it is not necessarily true that closer you are the more accurate your bombs will be. If you have...

Read my post again. I never even insinuated any such thing. It is an impartial explanation of what you guys are arguing about. It is up to you to decide how to interpret it. My job is to make sure you guys are not out of order. And we will try to make sure that any argument stays within...

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk has stated that: Every war is no more than murder if it is not for the sake of defense of one’s homeland. That sentence should be in our minds before we glorify killing anybody, be it in all out war or not. Killing of innocents, children and civilians is Infact, even...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/akinci-tiha-iha-230-ile-155-kilometren-vurdu/ Akıncı has hit a target 155km away with TRG230. This is more than double the stated range of the missile. On top of it, it is firing it from stand off range whilst at a considerably slow speed. It is about time now...

https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/britain-now-has-two-aircraft-carriers-at-sea-2/ Two ships, QE2 & Prince of Wales together cost 7.6 billion pounds in 2017. Inflation corrected to today’s money, that is 10.3 billion pounds which translates to 13.3 billion dollars. They were each, supposed to be...

We all have aspirations for better and more powerful weapons. But there are limits to what we can afford and what we can technically manufacture. Electro Magnetic Aircraft Launch System is a very expensive system. Even more expensive is to develop it. That is why the French are contemplating...

Welcome @Tuvan

Actually the answer is hidden in my post. With planes where engines are far apart, the twin rudders give better control over the rudder in case of an engine failure. But there is an optimum place where these rudders are placed and how apart and large they need to be. To optimise RCS and rudder...

I don’t understand this fixation of a plane looking ugly or beautiful. Who cares how ugly a plane looks? These are machines to kill. If it does what it is supposed to do, it doesn’t matter an iota even if it looks beautiful or not. Besides, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Here is The...

Fitted For But Not With. = FFBNW Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat = RHIB 1905 = MCMV The Rest I need to look up from google . I don’t know how many of our members fluently know all these. But with age, and not being involved in some of these day in day out I personally find it difficult to follow...

I fully agree with you with respect to the unnecessity of a Carrier for our Navy. More than a vanity project it is probably a political project though. However, even the study of the project will open our horizons. 2 LHDs,, one of them a UAV carrier, and at least 2 more LSTs would normally...

Quote: advantage of having twin vertical stabilizers is that the location of vertical tails helps in having control authority at high alpha(where the fuselage/wing can blank a single vertical stabilizer). In modern stealth aircraft, having a twin tail enables them to be canted, helping in...

Transporting of cartridges and storing it can be sorted out fairly quickly. Look at the liquid gas tubes currently used in Turkish homes. Even with low tech available in last century, it has been in use for over 6-7 decades. With specialised fuel stations and rigorous quality control, it can be...

That is good; that means there is something we can discuss about. I agree that hydrogen wouldn’t replace natural gas at homes. In fact to bring such a volatile gas to homes would be madness in our current level of technology. But cheaper electricity will replace natural gas. Already heat pump...
