'Sufficient means' - that's the point every group of engineers doesn't have sufficient means, including relevant data, knowledge and know hows. They can't just carbon-copy a iPhone 11 even if they were given the same parts and the same assembly plant. That's up the board to decides, not up to...

Advanced engineering & manufacturing require accumulated data, know-hows and experience. Aerospace & airbreathing jet engine engineering is one of fields that demand decades of intense and accumulative research. So-called trend is led by people who come up with an idea based on data from their...

It is not a question whether Juan Carlos I Class can operate a fleet of F-35B after heavy modifications, but whether it is efficient to spend that money to apply modifications to the ship. My point is that the ship can only operate a handful of F-35B and it would make the ship a high profile...

RAN probably should have bought something without a ski jump since they are more suitable as a helicopter carrier. Canberra class can operate only a handful of F-35B after heavy modification which would severely hurt its capability as an amphibious vessel and cost Australia a lot of money. If...

I mean why not? I doubt many countries can even build a serviceable Me-262 knock off straight away even if they are given all the blueprints. It would be a better idea to start with a trainer like Hurjet (with an existing foreign engine which is the most complicate part). You have to start from...

I don't want to be disrespectful, but I have to tell you that I doubt Turkey is even in a position of Japan in their 1960s when they flew a domestic jet engine powered mass-manufactured trainer by Fuji. By the way, Fuji is Subaru and the company roots can be traced back to the aircraft company...

Looks promising. They got everything covered, especially metallurgy and blade technologies. Again, I have my reasonable doubts, but again Turkey has surprised me with their progress on many technological advancements.

(Sigh) Mate, Japan rolled out a prototype jet-powered trainer by Fuji with a foreign engine in 1950s and with a domestic turbojet engine by IHI in 1960s. There are hundreds of companies (subcontractors and partners) have 'worked with GE and LM for decades' across the world and I am not sure how...

Mitsubishi X-2 Shinshin is not a 5th gen fighter jet, but an experimental technology demonstrator with two domestic low-pass 11,000 lb turbofans engines (with afterburner) by IHI which is another reputable company in the industry. Even then, Japan had to receive high-pass turbofans engine...

Engine development in Turkey is a fascinating story. It seems like Turkish industry doesn't have much experience in designing engines, especially large engines for industrial applications, but they have so many impressive projects. TEI PD170 was believable since it was a small 170hp diesel...

It would be interesting to compare them with the original B-611 and other improved Chinese B-12 series.

The Korean ship has 3 landing crafts. The last one is in well dock. However it is nowhere close to Juan Carlos I class (on which LDP Anadolu is based) in terms of specs. Personally I believe Royal Australian Navy should have not bought Canberra Class (another Juan Carlos I class ship) if they...

Yes, it is. Even better, it might be ending up being based on GaN-on-diamond technology. KDDX-class destroyer is already confirmed to have AESA radar with GaN-on-diamond either ways. However, don't get your hope too high. There was news said that Hanwha's radar is performing worse than it had...

Not really. The internal weapon bay will be fitted in KFX only in Block 3. Mass production will start from Block 1. In fact, the first batch of KFX jets will be only good for BVR air to air combats with limited CAS capabilities.

"Fist fight led to 7 Chinese PLA soldiers being injured. 4 Indians received minor injuries. Such face offs are common." It was just some fistfight between soldiers from two different countries with nuclear weapons. Okay, I didn't know little conflicts such as this that may trigger a nuclear war...

Have the US government approved the sales of F110 engine to Turkey?

I find this talk over 1600hp Fiat-Iveco MTCA 12V diesel engine interesting as I have not heard Italy actually starts producing Ariete C2 which supposedly comes with the engine. It is widely known that Fiat-Iveco has lobbied the Italian government to get some research budget for Ariete C2. It is...

This is an interesting development for Electronic Warfare. As far as I know, USAF practically abandoned their plan to acquire a large number of dedicated EW (Electronic Warfare) aircraft, US Navy have fleets of EA-18G Growler and US army has a Multi-Function Electronic Warfare family of systems...

This. America has always put their interest ahead of the interest of others. Sure, the US is comparatively lenient with Israel (hence sometimes they get away with it), but strictly speaking, the US wouldn't tolerate any ally from selling sensitive technologies to China.

1) Tell your interests Sports, history, military, paleontology, anatomy, photography, arts, music and etc. I am interested in a broad spectrum of subjects. I love to learn new things (hence, an avid reader) and listen to opinions of others on matters that I am interested in. 2. What do you do...
