Erdogan's party AKP is facing a historic defeat in mayoral elections, most cities being taken by opposition parties mainly Republican People's Party (CHP)
Mayoral positions taken by AKP represented in yellow while CHP's seats are represented by red. Unfortunately nationalist parties suffered...
Ok, so there's a hangar deck below the flight deck, that will also be mostly empty space and very light so how they are going to optimize the hull is a bit of a curiosity for me.
And yes 100M$ is incredibly cheap, TCG Anadolu costed around 600 Million $ partially thanks to the fact that it has...
I'm just curious what thousands of tons of equipment would be on this ship.
Drones aren't that heavy, in fact they are very light, As far as I can tell, she'll take fuel, and that's it.

For example I tried to make the two pics the same width in this post but no luck:

Another question is why Iran chose to build the flight deck so low. The ship seems to be much lighter than what the hull was designed for. For efficiency that bulbous bow should be submerged underwater but it looks like it'll remain outside water
if we imagined the red painted part of the hull...
At first sight, I thought this ship was longer than TCG Anadolu but that doesn't seem to be the case. With a flight deck of only 170 meters, she's going to be very limited in types of aircraft she can operate
The ship is about the same overall length as TCG Anadolu but the superstructure is...
Rural migration was in the 70ies, your information is a bit outdated. now the white collar workers are trying to buy land and tractors and migrate off the cities.
Earthquake victims are mostly poor people, most of them had to move to Ankara not İstanbul. Sad reality is that İstanbul is too expensive for many Turks.
it seems due to a lack of ability to modernize these aircraft and having too many types of aircraft to maintain, defence minister Dendias announced that they want to sell F-16 Block 30 and Mirage 2000 Fighters
it's because of the goddamned immigrants. The central parts of the city are completely ruined yet these piece of shits keep pouring in because our border security is terrible.
TCG Anadolu is still an LHD, the "drone carrier" role is mostly secondary.
But this is an interesting approach, in WWII many aircraft carriers were converted from other warships so most countries built their first aircraft carriers this way. Not a new idea but should be much faster than...
looks like she was converted from a commercial ship. How much do you think TCG Anadolu influenced this decision?
Naturally I don't follow Iranian media, I have no idea if it became news there.
a private company is working on a 1500hp tank engine but it's not ready yet. That's partially why Altay tank never went into production.
The most powerful engine we have is the one powering Otokar's ARMA II as far as I know
