It is very naive to think that France will let anything concrete come out of this. They will just keep on delaying this further and further, so as to stall the project without really terminating it. Turkey's best bet would be to pursue joint development of a S-350 derivative (maybe even...

Cyber is the next RMA (Revolution in Military Affairs). Cyber will be the primary (maybe even the only) determinant of victory in the next world war, when it comes. This has become amply clear to many militaries by now. The thing with cyber however is that it is not like existing mil...

No, you won't need a radar track, today's IIR seekers like the ones on AIM-9x, R-73/74, ASRAAM, A-Darter can track targets at max ranges which comfortably exceed this. The bigger challenge i suppose would be keeping down the weight and a field-assembly capability. With existing manpads the...

I have a somewhat radical idea for a MANPAD. I want to see ROKETSAN develop a longer ranged, higher altitude capable portable missile after this. Something like that unique iranian SAM which bought down a saudi tornado in yemen recently. A two-stage, field assembleable missile powered either...

The 9M96E/E2 are most likely hit to kill missiles. Many source describes them this way. On the other hand, I haven't seen a single one that says they carry proximity fused warheads. The 48N6 and 40N6 missiles aren't hit-to-kill, that's why they carry huge warheads. S-400 uses all these...

The most valuable part of the S-400 system for Turkey is the 9M96E2 missile. 120 km range, 60G peak maneuvrability, hit-to-kill capability, active radar seeker and TBM intercept capability upto 30km this missile provides a perfect replacement for the Patriot in the TBMD role and can inspire the...

It is not justdiverting finances to the fiefdoms and making the Federal Government cashless. This law was designed first and foremost to make the federal government powerless with very little authority on what goes on in the country. The other big reason for bringing in this law was to...

@waz @The Eagle can you please move these posts to the China Chipping Away to Semiconductor Dominance thread

I dont know but no posts for three years on an official twitter account are not signs of a company that has been funded generously for a project of national importance.

yes, Idealab it was. I found that article, it was written by an operations manager at Idealab in a 2017 issue of MSI magazine. I said: I found their twitter account. last post was in 2017!!

There was an article a few years back about aspilsan developing a sco2 based aip system for the milden. It would be a huge disappointment if the project is dead. Haven't seen any updates about it lately. I do have to admit i dont follow these issues too closely so i asked

What is the status of the Turkish AIP system being developed for MILDEN? @cabatli_53

Thats why it should be in the semiconductor thread. Here it will be visible for an hour and then the thread will be forgotten. Semiconductor thread is scanned by a lot of people and many people put alerts for new posts in that thread

could you guys post these kinds of news in the china semiconductor thread? If you make new threads for every bit of news then most members won't get to see the new thread. Keep everything in one thread makes it easier to follow all the news about the topic.

Can you tell us why you think it is impossible? Actually none of the 5 technologies fall under export control laws. It is easier to develop them domestically than for example most of the technologies Aselsan and Roketsan are pursuing. In fact, the first 3 are basically systems software and...

To really be capable of hardening your military industry and defense equipment against the danger of cyber attacks or cyber surveillane, a whole ecosystem of products has to be created. 1. At the top you need to develop the control software for your armament and the applications used for design...

In all my time on this forum, I've never come across a piece of writing as valuable as this one. And i'm being perfectly serious when I say that this one post carries more weight than the entire contents of this forum accumulated over the past two decades. You talked about "The fundamental...

Whoever is thinking these guys are gonna conduct sincere negotiations, and sign an agreement "on even level" has to be an even bigger fool than Musharraf and his bunch. These guys literally talk with piss in their mouth. I'm afraid Imran will be taken for a ride, and just like with Musharraf...

fair points. But the Block 3 is already, according to the rumors in here, seeing some degree of these changes, like: - Redesigned tail - enlarged inlets - full fly by wire system and use of composites on the skin - more optimized internal layout These are quite likely to affect the flight...

I am a fan of the landing gear redesign in the Gripen E that increased internal fuel capacity from 2270 kg to 3400 kg and allowed the aircraft of similar size to the JF-17 to have 3 hardpoints on its fuselage. With 6 wing hardpoints similar to the JF-17, and 3 on the fuselage plus targeting pod...
