@Foinikas is back, yay! I thought you were banned forever, my friend. ;) We're actually talking about HIMARS and the like.

Unproven? LOL. No no no. The scythe that cut the Armenians in the Second Karabakh War was not TB2 and MAM-L. They were the advertised scythes. The actual scythe that was overshadowed or deliberately overshadowed was the TRLG-230! First of all, it is sharp enough against non-moving targets with...

It depends on the perspective. As far as I know, HIMARSs given to Ukraine can only hit stationary targets. Ours can hit moving targets too. On the other hand, for us, we need a marker UAV that is 5 to 25 km close to the target.

Compared to our domestic artillery systems (not GMLRS), is HIMARS more mobile? Maybe. But this is a carrier platform issue. The solution is easy. Is HIMARS more accurate? No. We access the military GPS system only under the conditions determined by the USA, but since we do not trust that system...

Yes is there. 12.7 mm or 7.62 And yes again, carrying a 30mm automatic cannon is unusual. However, we are in "unusual times" already. Look, in Ukraine, $100,000 Javelins or NLAW's have turned into ordinary soldier guns! Therefore, the presence of 30 mm automatic cannon in relatively small...

Dear @BON PLAN; Why is it "Is this 20mm?" every time you see an automatic cannon in Turkish armored vehicles. you ask? In the past, these were common in us, they were considered sufficient. When we encountered ISIS in Syria, it turned out that 20 mm automatic cannons were useless. Just as our...

Maybe the Italians will accept it, maybe they won't. We can't know this yet. As a matter of fact, in the T129, only the engine is made in the USA, but the transmission is made in Italy. If we accept that the transmission is made in Italy as before, maybe the Italians can approve. However, the...

Rest assured, we are as insistent as you about working smoothly at high altitudes, dusty environments and hot weather. If the T629 performs below the T129 under these conditions, it will not enter production. We trust our engine and our transmission.

I think so too. It requires the signing of a new contract with the Italians to integrate the TS-1400 engine and domestic transmission into the T129. How do we know that the Italians will agree to this? IMO, if Pakistan does not insist on the T129 platform, the order will be held until 2026. Not...

No, thats true. We are not partners with Italians in Atak-2. We offered but they refused. That's why this helicopter you're talking about has nothing to do with ours. First of all, we will use a Ukrainian engine in the first versions of Atak-2, and if necessary, we will switch to a domestic...

In essence, tiltrotor technology is not about the engine. It is essentially a power transmission problem. But before the tiltrotor application, projects in the 10-ton helicopter class need to be completed. For this, engines with 3000-4000 HP power must be manufactured. We still have a lot of...

No. If T129s are to be sold to Pakistan, it will be with TS-1400 and Turkish-made gearbox, not with an Italian-made gearbox and an American engine. And the first deliveries in 2026. Because the Gökbey helicopter will be delivered in the first that year (2026) with a Turkish-made gearbox and...

Same engine. In military engines, the lubrication system is different. The lubrication function must continue even if the military helicopter turns upside down while flying. Civilian engines do not have this type of complex lubrication system because it is undesirable for the civilian helicopter...

True.

The terms of peace are simple. a) leave Ukraine unconditionally, b) agree to pay war reparations and start discussing the amount, and c) elect a new president, putting all the blame on Putin.

Yes. This shitshow will turn into a "bloody shitshow" in the spring of 2023. Because Putin and his gang will use tactical nuclear weapons.

However, Armenia did not support the first UN general assembly resolution condemning the invasion of Ukraine. Were they allied with Russia? :) It is typical Armenian, no actualy Dahsnak Armenian behavior. (Not all Armenians are so opportunist.) Dagger your weakened ally from behind first. Then...

Unfortunately. If they had already waged an ethical war, they would have declared a general mobilization. They themselves are aware of what the hell they are doing.

Why are you asking me this? You should ask Ex. POTUS Trump. There is one thing he trusts, which is that the US withdrew its troops from Afghanistan.

I totally agree with you. Why NATO left Afghanistan is another matter entirely. It should be discussed in another topic. By the way, I think Trump's smartest decision was to leave Afghanistan. You cannot force people to change. If they want to live in the Middle Ages, let them do so. As long as...
