QUOTE(xtemujin @ Jul 20 2019, 12:04 AM) Turkey’s ATAK helicopter sale to Pakistan stalled over missing engines - SoL Turbomecca Makila is a good option....widely available and have higher average power output tooThe sale of Turkish-made T129 ATAK helicopter gunships to Pakistan has hit a stumbling block as no engines have been found for the gunships after the United States failed to issue the permit required for their delivery, communist news site SoL reported on Wednesday. Turkey and Pakistan signed a $1.5 billion deal for the Turkish-made helicopter gunships on July 13, 2018. The delivery date of the first helicopter was pushed back after the U.S. Department of Defence last year refused to issue the Turkish company with an export license for the delivery of the gunships’ CTS800 engines. Producers in France and Poland are being considered as potential suppliers of the engine, according to Hürriyet newspaper. Meanwhile, 41 ATAK helicopters have been delivered to the Turkish Land Forces Command and six to the Gendarmerie General Command, SoL said. The deal between Ankara and Islamabad sees for the delivery of 30 T129 ATAK helicopters to Pakistan. Pakistan’s current AH-1F Cobra gunships lack the capability to perform adequately over the higher altitudes of the Hindu Kush mountain range, separating Afghanistan and Pakistan, according to the country’s officials. https://ahvalnews.com/atak/turkeys-atak-hel...ing-engines-sol |

If there's only one gun...less than 180 degrees traverse shouldn't be a big problem...
I'm sure a small boat can change heading quicker than the rate of gun traverse |

QUOTE(MilitaryMadness @ Aug 6 2019, 02:25 PM) Well, the turret does look like its located in a recess in the superstructure instead of freestanding. These ships likely use Burevestnik A-220M 57mm cannon...just like the one used by previous KCR-60M boats to replace the 40mm Bofors compared to this It's compact enough.... there should be enough room for it....this KRI 628, also a KCR-60M still with 40mm Bofors QUOTE(EBBattlefield @ Aug 6 2019, 02:55 PM) I know la.... 90 degree port + 90 degree starboard =180 degrees....it's the same thing |

QUOTE(EBBattlefield @ Aug 9 2019, 07:53 AM) then if enemy strafe from above, the MBTs can help their fellow MBTs get caught in a jam and becoming sitting duck like Iraq's highway to hell Or....we the one who has local air superiority,,,making it easier to defend. But most of the time, air assets won't intervene in these small skirmishes....unless a brigade- or division-sized formations are detected moving on highway or plains QUOTE(MilitaryMadness @ Aug 9 2019, 08:20 AM) I think...gun is more reliable...it's actually possible for the enemy to dodge an ATGM when the crews are very alert and laser warning receiver is enabled...because it's slow at around 300 m/s.During wartime situation, ATGM can be less accurate, because the target is obscured by smoke or it's already night time. Not all ATGM crews have FLIR or NVS sights. For modern tanks, FLIR or NVS sight is already a standard equipment. Also, light vehicles is still vulnerable....some stray 50 cal rounds can penetrate the armor....because usually they have only STANAG 3 or less protection |

QUOTE(MilitaryMadness @ Aug 9 2019, 11:54 AM) IIRC nearly all of the big-name ATGM launchers (TOW, Javelin, Kornet, MILAN) have both NV & FLIR. Even older ones have NV at least. OK....let's assume ATGM vehicles have good sights.....then it depends on the strategyThat's why some forces even use the launchers (sans missiles) as makeshift recon/observation gear. The TOW's FLIR camera can zoom up to 24x, making it an extremely good observation platform in all conditions. If the defender is willing to relinquish a lot of territory, then hit and run tactic is acceptable. But, if an area needs to be held at all cost, I think properly positioned MBTs should be better. Even better if there are reserve units for immediate counter attack if a point is captured by the enemy. A common aggressive defensive tactic used by German in WW2 |

Australia and US will steal the resources, like what Australia doing in Timor Leste.West Papua is heavily subsidized, getting $7bn each year from the government...while the government get $2bn at most from resources from Papua |

QUOTE(Mai189 @ Aug 26 2019, 11:55 AM) Here: Hahaha....what cancer....https://thediplomat.com/2014/01/the-human-t...-of-west-papua/ Hope that is helpful! To be frank, im shocked. International NGOs should look at this. In the past couple of months/years, ASEAN was concerned about the Rohingya...but in fact we have a cancer right in the heart of ASEAN. Cheap western propaganda....still no proven evidence of massacres.... Today, it's all about infrastructure development in Papua. In fact, each village in Papua gets 300k RM subsidy each year from central government. Of course, western media won't report this.... |
