Essex class is an example. Essex and short hull and long hull Ticonderoga class aircraft carriers started with propeller planes. Then long versions were modified to fit jets and angled decks were added. Short ones were used as helicopter carriers. Later on wasp class started using VTOLs, so LHDs...

LHDs evolved from ww2 era aircraft carriers, so I don't think anybody is questioning if it is possible, rather if it is practical and safe considering a variety of factors. In the switch from propeller planes to jets shorter aircraft carriers and those without an angled landing deck were...

Mistranslation. "In terms of seeing a flying jet in 2023, there is Hürjet"

I'm more suprised self propelled howitzers aren't considered more important especially with drones helping with targeting. There are too many threats to MBTs, considering their max firing range is much shorter.

I think 4 amraams for air to air loadout in stealth config is a bit underwhelming, considering a good number of nations will rely on F35 as their sole fighter for next 40 years. Though they are planning to bump it to 6 for F35A and maybe C? My biggest issue is block 4 software and hardware...

F4s in need of replacement and some of F16 are getting very old

Does anyone know if MQ 28 is an armed drone? I haven't hear anything about its offensive capabilities

Sharp nose is in line with Ghost Bat, Valkyrie, and proposed 6th gen fighters.

I also don't think such a deal is likely, but we are yet to replace 48 F4s so I don't think it would be a terrible deal.

Can't even take off if runways are badly damaged

I imagine Korkut and Hisar would be effective enough for cruise missiles in their current state and combined with F16 would be enough to protect our air space against Russia. Not so much against ballistic missiles however

A single engine fighter jet using F110? Wonder where I have seen that before

It's the name suggested by a former Air Force general on I think nokta tv or something. It's not official afaik

This TCG Anadolu / Trakya new design was shared last August here, only new thing is shots from different angles.

Wouldn’t the primary use of TFX be against Russia and Russian backed countries using russian planes and russian air defenses

I did mean certificate. But for instance, military use does not need the certificate right

License is needed for civilian usage right? Are the helicopters to be delivered this year using honeywell engine?

This is an absurd line of thinking, as if those things are ours to take in case of a Russian invasion. If nothing, strategic importance of these assets for us is all the more reason for Ukraine to hold onto them so they can pursue us to help them.

Maybe it’s more like Pakistan doing business with China and Turkey, but separately for their unmanned systems.

AA reports that first Akıncı export agreement is signed.
