Ziya has a point. Realistically, Phalanx CIWS are ineffective against supersonic AShMs. A Brahmos missile closes the final 1km distance to the ship in less than 1 second. Even if the Phalanx gets lucky and hits it, the ship will be hit with debris and it will likely be a mission kill. ESSM will...

People are saying this has been denied by Ismail Demir.

I think the range must be understated. Even without mid section propulsion it should be twice what it is. Other than that, in terms of weight and size its comparable with competitors.

Helis could benefit from active defenses. It's not just tanks that use them - ships and even subs now use them. The reason helis don't have them yet is because jammers work well enough. Still, in the near future IIR based MANPADS (which are harder to jam) will become more common, and that might...

From request to qualification test in 20 days. That's impressive.

Found a bit of info about the Iraqi satellite launch program here: https://fas.org/nuke/guide/iraq/missile/al-abid.htm

Keep in mind the F110 was designed in 1979. Although high performance and high quality engines, especially stealth oriented ones, are hard to design, Turkey already has made inroads into some of the most difficult parts of the process, like single crystal turbine manufacture. Already this...

SIPER (possibly new name of Hisar-U) will have ABM capability.

He's right...the files are named MMU :dirol:

Yes it has been shared by Baykar:

Summary: a more powerful version of PD170 is being developed which will be used on the Akinci.

PD170 is 170hp. Akinci will have approximately 2x500hp engines according to the specs Baykar has released.

Problem is using a joystick to aim the gun. Anyone who's ever done this knows how useless it is. It blows my mind that virtually every military still does this. Even an xbox controller would be better. What would be ideal is the soldier touches the screen where the rat is and computer...

Sure is weird how this keeps happening to the guy who thinks everyone except him is retarded. So weird...I wonder what it could mean...

I think the man they have in the picture for scale is not exact, just a rough guide. The big radar (YIRS?) is definitely in the same class as Ultra or its mobile version (Ultra-C1), while EIRS is the equivalent of Spectra. It must be similar in size to the Israeli one due to the physical...

Let's hope they will come to their senses:

No surprise there. Same crap happened with Olive Branch until Turkey responded with decisive force. In this case I think they're just trying to put a dent in Turkey's surge in popularity. Russia should respond by letting Turkey do airstrikes on them. That way it avoids tit-for-tat escalation...
