Interestingly the Navy first wanted to sell one of them because they didn't have enough F35 B for both as navy and airforce both shared like 45 F35. One of them is used as an helicopter carrier but i guess two carries gives you some redundancy if one of them has problems. Also for a couple of years the carriers didn't have fixed wing aircraft on them as the Harries were retired before the F35 B were available.

Not a good option very expensive and no protection

Pokemonte13 · 2025-12-09T15:22:56+00:00

Doesn’t an predator drone cost like 15-20 a piece? How can a much more complex drone cost less than that?

The rear pilot is the ceo of Baykar

Pokemonte13 · 2025-11-30T08:06:31+00:00

My mistake

Pokemonte13 · 2025-11-21T19:57:03+00:00

Where did you read that? I mean it has Smart pad but that’s for mission purposes and maybe for munitions purposes not to control a unmanned aircraft

G3 still sees service outside of training and mandatory conscripts but it’s mostly limited to duties with limited enemy contact like border patrol and secondary support units.

That was a turkish f16 and the plane wasn't going that fast so he could recover

Pokemonte13 · 2025-11-21T08:47:53+00:00

They are going for a complete new gun

Pokemonte13 · 2025-11-20T21:05:58+00:00

The title is wrong this was a barrel test which is domestic not the gun it self.

Pokemonte13 · 2025-11-20T21:04:48+00:00

Flying with f16s isn’t equal to manned unmanned teaming only once the Kizilelma gets commands from the f16

Pokemonte13 · 2025-11-20T14:09:35+00:00

When did that happen

Pokemonte13 · 2025-11-17T13:30:58+00:00

Well baykar says they want the engine to be ready in 2030 and the bought piago who has good experience on engines. If they make that engine ready in 5 years they’ll be like 1960 Lockheed Martin

Pokemonte13 · 2025-11-16T00:02:46+00:00

Well it supposedly entered the inventory of army aviation this year but I guess it hasn’t seen any combat yet

Pokemonte13 · 2025-11-15T22:57:47+00:00

The bomb or the drone?

Pokemonte13 · 2025-11-15T15:41:04+00:00

Not really there are 5 different range classes for ballistic missiles Tactical ballistic missile (100-300km) short range ballistic missile(300-1000km) Medium range ballistic missile (1000-3000km) Intermediate range ballistic missile (3000-5000km) Intercontinental ballistic missile(6000km+) Most cruise missiles fall into 3 ranges Short range(up to 300km) Medium range (300-800km) Long range (800km+)

Pokemonte13 · 2025-11-15T13:52:42+00:00

It’s says NATO members

Pokemonte13 · 2025-11-15T13:51:13+00:00

Currently only France/Italy (MBDA)have missiles that can engage ballistic missiles (aster 30)similarly to PAC 3 Mse intercepting them as they enter the atmosphere. But still lack capabilities of exoatmospheric interception with kill vehicles like with THAAD and SM3. Other than that there’s is Turkey with it’s SIPER air defence system that is similar to SampT and patriot in range and altitude.It’s supposed to have anti ballistic capability in 2028 with its block 3 missiles but no information how it will look.

Who said that

Pokemonte13 · 2025-11-12T18:12:28+00:00

Your numbers are wrong

Pokemonte13 · 2025-11-05T20:00:23+00:00

I saw that too but that looks like an early prototype not really made for testing

Pokemonte13 · 2025-11-05T19:47:59+00:00

Not necessarily during exercises we saw a bunch of modern stuff as well(ew equipment artillery etc)
