Gorus ici Test muhimmati = within visual range Test missile = our shortrange AIM-9 equivalent missile

On the contrary, RAM is even less effective against supersonic missiles, hence the preference of ESSM above RAM. Reaction time of Phalanx against RAM is multiple times better. ESSM is MACH 4 by the way (RIM-116 of RAM = MACH 2) Sea ceptor is MACH 3 And you say ESSM cannot intercept a missile...

Our friend dum should also explain why SSM has never announced the biddings in the tender how BMC won it. They also did not announce the production deal. How much will 250 tanks cost Turkey? Our friend Dum is telling us that MSB is paying less money at the end of the day, really? How does he...

@ziya Are you playing the dumb, or are you? No any ship can rely anymore on single defence, it has to be layered defence. First layer of I-class is the ESSM missile, last point of defence the phalanx. If you know a better concept do tell us, or stop wasting oxygen.

Why didn't they give the project directly to ASFAD? This way it is pumping money to BMC while ASFAD does the work, wasting tax money to make Erdogan buttbudies rich

That's not true, the phalanx is already put into position when radars have detected the incomming missile and the firing computer is shooting at the calculated projectory of the missile. First line of defense is the ESSM blk2 (mach 4) missile with a range of >50km and if missiles pass than the...

Not really, Phalanx is the last line of defense if everything else fails. Against supersonic missiles the I-class will be equipped with ESSM blk2

Exact, the old LAW is not enough in many ways

TB2 is not Akinci UAV!

C4defence says that the PD-170 engine is to fly the TB2, while other sources claim it is for the Akinci UAV

No you are not wrong, that is the Aselsan AKR-D BlkB1

Qatar bought already several years ago, deliveries are still ongoing. Is there a new purchase?

No Gabya (Perry) won’t stay till 2035 ofcourse, the less upgraded ones will be retired and serve as spare parts while the ones upgraded with VLS systems will remain until replacement with TF2000, starting somewhere in 2023-2025. The Barbaros class ships are currently ~20 years old and will...

Thank you for the answers. I agree in large with you except about the TF100. To my understanding the Turkish navy goes this path: 4 x Milgem (blk I) to replace 6x ex French d'orve class corvettes 4x I-class (blk II) to replace Yavuz class frigates 4x TF-2000 to replace 4x upgraded Gabya (ex...

Dear D-Mitch, Milgem blk II and III, what exactly do you mean by that? The current Milgem Blk I = Ada class corvettes (4, currently 2 in service and 2 under construction) Milgem BLK II = I-class frigate (a more developped, elonged and with VLS equipped upgraded version of the Ada class...

Greece does not have dm2a4, they are using SUT's on 214 subs

S-400 is primarily against aircraft indeed, with anti-ballistic ability (meaning not directly designed against ballistic missiles) but Patriot was also not designed against ballistic missiles, only the PAC-3 missiles are specifically for anti ballisic and the PAC-3 missile is medium range...
