Navy naturally gravitates towards large, multi purpose systems. It's slow and expensive to haul crew a long way, and to protect them you need everything you can put on there. So there's entry cost to building a platform, it has to come with space and logistics infra for humans, must come with...

Why transfer planes here without pilot and crew? They would be sitting in the hangar. If qatari planes don't arrive after 8 months then we can worry

Does this mean they arw all outfitted, radars and all?

Thats Burak class eand has Mar D as radar, so we can now put it on most ships now

@Nutuk you are being reductive here. There's definitely info on EF performance from exercises and we have been in them, seen them side by side including with rafales. So we know their performance when buying them. It's also the only aircraft we could really acquire that's up to date and high...

F404 acquisition likely wont be a problem since they gave us F110 for kaan now, for the time being at least.

Yeah but I think the bottleneck is pilot training. If Typhoon arrived here today we can't fly it without ground crew and trained pilot or infrastructure. Qatar seemed very willing otherwise.

Typhoon procurement is good. F16 are not yet fully modernized (only 1 or 2 jets with Murad testing?) Kaan is not here yet. We need fully combat capable fighters with AESA asap. The qatari ones should arrive when our pilots and technicians complete training hopefully.

No need for 100 million dollar ladder program, use old school one 😄 F22 doesn't have one either. Although there was a prototype for collapsable portable ladder to put inside cockpit

Moreso pilot training I imagine

Would have been mega news worldwide

Ke in the water is best case scenario. Worst case it crashes into deck or worse the control tower, killing command, burning the deck and having to tow the lhd for 3-5 years of repairs without the angled deck.

Well it won't happen overnight. They like keeping everything until it falls apart.

If they make a JV for it I hope they don't name it something that's as unlikeable and unmarketable like Bogg.

America has facilities far from residential areas. TUSAS is not

Didn't we sell ships to malaysia for palm oil

Not stages, just 4 pipes side by side

Do you know nvidias annual r&d budget

Meaningless without engine production to match. 96 TF35000 per year is not trivial

Old FAC doctrine is useless so yeah these are gonna be real corvettrs cause our other corvettes are basically frigates, if we put some missiles on them.
