There was a short article by ΑΠΕ-ΜΠΕ today regarding this. No mention of "damage" of any sort, but of a mechanical/technical problem. "Hydra" had originally sailed about a fortnight ago.

My understanding is that there is no limited range variant for the missile at hand. Greece has been interested about Scalp Naval for more than a decade now, after fielding the 500km+ air carried variant for the system. MTCR does not (strictly speaking) apply for Category 1 items sold between...

That wouldn't make much sense since those towers don't belong to Trump anyway...Aydin Dogan (the developer and owner) essentially paid Trump to use his name on them. You could rename them though. And he had already thought of that in the past.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with having canister launchers for ASuW weapons.

It really isn't. This type of mock dogfighting has been happening in the Aegean for decades, at great monetary and life (due to accidents) cost for both countries. A couple of times a year or so, videos like the above are leaked by servicemen in both air forces...and are then used for idle...

No, this happened on Sunday.

That is indeed a revealing video, although I'd have to counter with the following, as regards to the fusion of politics and brain damage: @Nilgiri, many thanks for the info man. With regards to the following part: FREMM indeed can field the Mk.45. I am under the impression though that the...

Musk isn't really saying anything radical here, UCAVs are the future. But we are talking about multiple decades before this happens. And a couple more before this trickles down from the superpowers to the mainstream.

There are two separate "discussions" here. 1. Whether the F-35 project will result in a competent fighter aircraft in the next 3 decades. 2. Whether Turkey did well to bluff the US with the S-400 acquisition, and consequently get removed forcefully from the F-35 project. One discussion should...

I think it would be prudent to do so, I do fear though that this existing thread would not have posts anymore.

Yes, I pretty much said so in my last message.

Not for much longer though. Vulcan is coming online in the following years, replacing the Atlas V we see in that video. US also already has alternatives (and has had them for many years now). Having said that, the RD-180 engine was the result of one of the most successful international...

That is somewhat correct, but the three factors mentioned above are still the main drivers for the current outlook of the epidemic on Germany. -- Germany is now testing up to 500,000 people a week for the coronavirus. -- In Germany over 80% of those confirmed to have the disease are under 60...

1. Very early and massive testing combined with effective quarantine measures. 2. The luck of having the virus introduced in the country mainly by younger people. 3. An extremely good acute care system. However, that does not mean the death rate will stay the same. As the virus moves over to...

The distance itself means that you need a delta-V budget of roughly 4.04 KM/s to go to LLO (for example). The ISS weighs 420 tons, and you will still have to add to that the weight of the fuel itself (and the engines, and the tanks) to brake the station when it reaches the moon, so as to enter a...

no idea about the veracity of the source. Bakanlık duyurdu: Koronavirüs'e ilişkin gerçek dışı paylaşım yapan 19 kişi gözaltına alındı Sosyal medyada asılsız ve provokatif Koronavirüs paylaşımları yapan 93 şüpheli tespit edildiği ve 19’unun gözaltına alındığı duyuruldu. İçişleri...

The payload has been described as XJY-6 (新技术验证 六号) or alternatively TJSW-6 (通信技术试验). Judging by the LV capabilities, it was assumed to be a testing bus for GEO encrypted communications. Most rumors right now point to the third stage (using a CZ-3B-G3Z derived hydrolox stage) not firing or...

From the information that we have available now, it seems like an upper stage problem left the payload in an unworkable orbit. While highly regrettable, a malfunction of this type is fortunately not expected to affect LM 5B and most parts of the new Chinese kerolox architecture. A lot is at...

Wait, there was an assumption that I wasn't? :azn: In any case, here is the outpost in google maps if anyone is interested. https://www.google.gr/maps/place/40%C2%B053'37.2%22N+26%C2%B014'21.9%22E/
