ANKARA, Turkey — A state-owned Turkish company (h)as invited Malaysia to join the country’s indigenous fighter program, the TF-X, following Ankara’s suspension from the U.S.-led F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program.
Temel Kotil, CEO of Turkish Aerospace Industries, said he is now awaiting Malaysia’s reply. Last year, TAI signed a memorandum of understanding with the Asian nation for the co-production of TF-X composites.
TAI is also considering Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Kazakhstan as potential partners or buyers of the future fighter jet.
“[TF-X] will be the first big fighter jet of the Muslims,” Kotil said. “Building the aircraft first and then selling it is a modality. But we think it’s better if we take in partners at this stage."
The company also invited Malaysia to partner on its Hurkus, a trainer and light attack aircraft.

Meanwhile, the Turkish government is keen to revive talks with British company Rolls-Royce for the design and production of the TF-X. Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said in December that the government wants to move forward with its planned cooperation with Britain for the production of the aircraft. But Turkey must first select an engine for the TF-X and then finalize the aircraft’s full design — a process that has lagged behind schedule.

A £100 million (U.S. $131 million) deal between Rolls-Royce and Turkish manufacturer Kale Group was effectively put on hold amid uncertainties over technology transfer.

In October 2016, Rolls-Royce offered a joint production partnership to Turkey to power the country’s planned platforms. The offer involved potential sales to third parties and a production unit in Turkey to manufacture engines for the TF-X as well as helicopters, tanks and missiles.

A year before that, in October 2015, a memorandum of understanding was signed between Turkey and Rolls-Royce for technological know-how and a production unit. Under the plan, Rolls-Royce would launch an advanced manufacturing and technology center in Turkey ― the company’s eighth such unit worldwide.
Also in 2017, BAE Systems and TAI signed a $125 million heads of agreement to collaborate on the first development phase of the TF-X.
Turkey’s aerospace and procurement officials now aim to fly the TF-X in the 2025-2026 time frame, despite an original target of 2023.

2. MUST get rid of nationalistic overtones as expressed in
"Malaysia has great composite producing plants but it is not good at aviation field, he stressed."

maybe author Gokhan Ergocun is nonnative english speaker and messes up.

otherwise such blunders will only lead to infighting and greater fissues while kuffar enjoy the infighting and meanwhile Muslims worldwide would suffer

The target is to make Malaysia the leading aerospace nation in South East Asia and be an integral part of the global market by 2030.


this target is ambitious coz stinkypura already in the lead, also got indon, maybe thai or viets chasing too.


going by what turkish investment board/auth published

turkish civil aviation is even more backward compared to jiuhu, let alone gooks


let alone stinkypura

on defence industry

how well have turks fared?

is it not 2020 yet? if the excuse is, "wait till 2020 is over". then, you mean turkey can develop indigenous fighter jet, indigenous helicopter (gokbey, i presume, which looks like a licensed/rehashed italian agusta westland aw139 helicopter) and indigenous satellite (gokturk 3) -- all within a single year?

btw, hurkus is just a swiss pilatus aircraft, prob licensed from koreans, who had earlier licensed the swiss turboprop pilatus aircraft

altay = with korean assistance, still not finished

same as towed howitzer from freaking teeny tiny dot sized stinkypura? called panter in turkey, and FH-2000 by stinkies

still a looooong looong way to go to catch up with teeny tiny pee-sai

3. Among the A*STAR innovations are:
A) Airframe
• Creating Deep Bonds - A fast curing technology for aerospace sealants and adhesives.
Existing sealants used to repair fuel leaks, install windshields and windows to seal out moisture in aircraft typically takes a few days to fully cure at normal room temperature. Short wave infrared (IR) radiation penetrates deeply into materials and ensures a more uniform curing through heating. IR radiation is currently used in devices such as heat scanners and sensors. The new and simple curing process, which does not compromise the integrity of the sealants, takes only one to two hours instead of seven days to complete. This means that it uses only 3-5% of the normal time taken by current aerospace industry curing processes, translating into increased productivity and operational efficiency, and could result in significant cost savings.

• Waves of Change – Modelling of electromagnetic interactions in an aircraft
The ever-increasing demand for communication, navigation, and entertainment leads to heavy adoption of high-speed electronic devices and wireless networks inside the airplane. While wireless communication removes the weight of connecting cables and reduces maintenance fees, it worsens the electromagnetic environment inside the aircraft. Because of this it has become increasingly important to simulate and analyse electromagnetic interactions inside the airplane’s closed environment for reliable aircraft operational functions. The A*STAR-developed advanced simulation technology accurately models the electromagnetic interactions in a closed environment.

B) Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul (MRO)
· Get in Shape Fast – Advanced metal forming technology of high performance materials
Conventional high performance materials such as chromoly steel, nickel-based alloy and titanium alloys are used for aerospace engine components. The fabrication cost of these materials is high as these tough materials are difficult to form into components of various complex shapes. A novel yet flexible forming technology is being developed to bend and form high-performance materials and thin-walled components of light-weight materials without secondary process, saving time and material cost by 14% and 40% respectively.

· Repair With A New Shine – Applications of Laser Aided Additive Manufacturing for Repair of Engine Components
Laser Aided Additive Manufacturing (LAAM) technology can be used to accurately repair damaged parts and directly manufacture nickel-base and titanium-base superalloy 3D components. These tough materials are difficult to repair due to cracking, oxidation and the need to maintain grain size and micro structure integrity. Due to the low heat input and high automation level, LAAM technology has shown its significant advantages over traditional repair processes such as Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding and thermal spraying. Traditional repair processes cause distortion and peel-off arising from low bonding strength. LAAM technology yields several productivity improvements. Manpower training takes only two weeks compared to a minimum of half a year before an operator is qualified and experienced for repair work. The deposition rate with localised heating also increases. Current TIG method requires four days to achieve consistent quality for a part compared to 20 minutes. Less material is removed, saving machining time. Current TIG cladding requires about 54% material removal compared to 20% for LAAM.

· Making Good Sense – Health monitoring and diagnosis
A contactless health and diagnostics check is used for detection of early corrosion surface cracks (including length, width and depth) of less than 1mm and defect detection in composite parts against disbond, de-lamination impact damage. With the rapid scan rates of 0.06m/min – 1.2m/min, non-visible surface cracks can be detected reliably and accurately, minimising potential downtime and improving operational efficiency. Unlike the current ultrasonic methods, this monitoring and diagnostic system is able to detect cracks under paint and thin non-conductive coatings. It does not require a medium to transmit signals into the materials under test.

C) Electronics and Communications
Solutions for flight circuit boards and robust memory system
· Hot Stuff – Integrated circuits for operation up to 300˚C
Many industries such as oil exploration, aerospace and automotive require electronic circuitry that operates at high temperatures.To address these upcoming needs, A*STAR’s Institute of Microelectronics (IME) Rugged Electronics Programme develops sensor interface electronics that can reliably measure various physical parameters at soaring temperatures of up to 300°C and at environmental pressure of up to 30Kpsi. IME researchers are exploiting the low leakage current feature of Silicon On Insulator-CMOS process to develop circuit devices aimed to work at temperature of 300°C. IME’s new approach will address the limitations of conventional Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) to enable high resolution sensor interface circuits that can deliver critical data in harsh environments.

· No Fleeting Moments – Non-volatile memories for high performance, radiation hardened aerospace applications
Leading the way is the next-generation technology that uses non-volatile memories for on-board flight applications and sensor networks of structural health monitoring systems. Non-volatile memories aim to provide error-correction codes specially designed for memories exposed to high temperatures and high radiation emissions.This high-performance electronics applied to aircraft components allow condition-based repair and maintenance, instead of routine-based repair. Using such integrated damage monitoring systems can help to decrease the cost of repair and maintenance by up to 20%. To fully realise this advantage, memories needed for such application should have a large capacity, the ability to operate in high temperatures, low power consumption, and be resistant to radiation. Current memory devices based on conventional flash and Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) technologies tend to perform poorly. The non-volatile memories—Spin Transfer Torque Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory and Phase-Change Random Access Memory technologies are two core competencies that A*STAR’s Data Storage Institute has developed. More than 30 patents have been filed for this area.

· Connect on the Fly – Next Generation Cabin Communication Platform
In-flight entertainment and communication services are fast gaining importance for airline operators in their bid to attract customers by providing best possible services. However the size, weight, and power constraints of aircraft systems, coupled with rapid advancement in the multitude of communication and entertainment technologies mean that traditional methods of dedicated systems for each supported technology are no longer efficient. A customisable Software Defined Radio (SDR) enables the use of a common platform to be utilised across different aerospace communication systems, such as Global Systems for Mobile, Code Division Multiple Access, and Wireless Local Area Network present in the industry. As the number of users for different access technologies changes, it can intelligently reconfigure the resource distribution among different base access point functions, ensuring maximum number of users.

D) Aviation Logistics
· Find it, Move it, Use it – Automated Control and Self-Recovery System of Airfreight Terminal Operations
To build a world-class fully automated airfreight terminal, A*STAR SIMTech successfully completed an automated control and self-recovery system that executes and controls the transfer of containers across multiple material handling systems. The airfreight terminal contains over 80 different material handling systems which span over eight levels and was designed to handle 800,000 tons per annum. A solution that allowed for automated control and self-recovery system was developed. This system can execute and control the transfer of containers across multiple material handling systems, an on-line origin-to-destination route configuration, operating vehicles in four different modes (Auto, Semi-Auto, Manual and Maintenance), handling of containers of different containers, and transfer optimisation of equipment capable of handling two to six containers. Over more than 10 years of operations, this automated control system has been proven and its capabilities enhanced. The project clinched the 2003 Institution of Engineers Singapore (IES) Prestigious Engineering Award.

Details of all 15 technologies are appended in the Annex.

1. Hear What’s Going On
Sonic Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) technique for detecting defects in composite structures
With the increased use of composite materials in aircraft construction, the non-destructive inspection of adhesively-bonded structures is increasing for aircraft maintenance and repair. Defects encountered at the interfaces of adhesively-bonded joints, such as disbond and delamination, can impair the strength of the structure. Therefore, such structures are inspected non-destructively in production and maintenance before they are used in the aircraft. Ultrasonic testing technique is predominantly used for testing the defects. Even though the existing test equipment has benefited from advances in digital technology, it has yet to provide comprehensive evaluation for a wide range of defects. Also, in most cases, rather than indicating pass or fail, the defect severity in the structures needs to be assessed. Knowing the type, size and depth of defects will provide the important information in the mechanical strength and quality assessment of the composite materials.

A*STAR’s Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) has developed a sonic Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) technique that uses a frequency lower than half that of conventional ultrasonic techniques. Unlike the time-of-flight parameter used in traditional techniques for flaw detection, the material to be inspected is excited with certain waveform patterns and processes the excitation response in several ways to extract defect signatures. The key features are its capability to detect, learn and identify the structural defects such as disbond, delamination, and crushed core in the composite honeycomb structures. An additional feature of the system is the capability of scanning the inspection area to generate C-scan type of image with the defect type displayed. The system is tested on non-structural defects such as incipient heat damages composite laminates and water ingress in honeycomb core.

2. Creating Deep Bonds
Fast Curing Technology for Aerospace Sealants and Adhesives
The short curing time is a very important technical specification for adhesives and sealants. It can save the turnaround time for airplanes that need repairing and thus reduce the operation cost. This technology aims to develop a curing technology for sealants which is used to repair fuel leaks, install windshields and windows, and seal out moisture. Currently, it usually takes a few days for existing sealants to achieve a full cure at room temperature. Thus a curing technology is urgently required to significantly reduce the curing time that will improve productivity and pose any operational hazards.

Using short wave IR radiation, A*STAR’s Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) has developed this curing technology to provide a curing method without creating any significant performance hazards. At the same time, it substantially reduces the curing time from a few days to a few hours. With this novel technology, it can penetrate more deeply into materials and ensure a more uniform curing through heating than medium wave IR radiation which is absorbed mostly in the outer surface of the materials. The short wave IR curing technology can greatly reduce the curing time from 7 days to 1 - 2 hours without compromising their ultimate mechanical and thermal properties.
3. A Coat of Sponge
Nanoparticle Enhanced Erosion Resistant Coatings
Airplanes are exposed to severe external environmental stress while in-flight, which are caused by high kinetic energy particles such as rain and dust, impacting on the leading edge of the airfoil. Currently, polymeric coatings are widely used to protect the airfoil structure. However, these coatings have poor durability and usually exhibit erosion damage in the form of deep pits, cracks and holes. The introduction of coatings built primarily from composite components demands that its protective layers act as a robust barrier against such impacts, thereby minimising damage and onset of corrosion.

ASTAR’s Institute of Chemical and Engineering Sciences has developed a novel technology for making erosion resistant coatings. The coatings will combine functional nanoparticles with functional polymers or commercial paints to form a multi-phased network with homogeneously distributed discrete elastic phases in a coating layer matrix. The high erosion resistance stems from the ability of the novel composite network to efficiently absorb the impact energy from particles in flight conditions and thus reduce the probability of chain scission and cracking of the coating layer. In addition, the nanoparticles also enable the relaxation of internal stress generated from temperature fluctuations under rapidly changing environmental and weather conditions.

4. Waves of Change
Modelling of electromagnetic interactions in an aircraft
The ever-increasing demand for communication, navigation, and entertainment leads to a heavy adoption of high-speed electronic devices and wireless networks inside the airplane. The wireless communication inside the commercial aircraft shows a great advantage over the available wired communication. It removes the connecting-cables weight from the aircraft and reduces the corresponding maintenance fees, saving cost for companies. This, however, also makes electromagnetic environment inside the aircraft inevitably worse. It has become increasingly important to simulate and analyse electromagnetic interactions inside the airplane’s closed environment for reliable aircraft operational functions.
A*STAR’s Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) has developed an advanced simulation technology to accurately model the electromagnetic interactions in a closed environment. The simulation technology makes full use of the structural features of the closed environment. It decomposes the original complex and large problem into several kinds of simple sub-problems. These sub-problems are solved by using different optimised approaches respectively, and then recombined by the equivalent sources defined on their interfaces. Therefore, it benefits in terms of accuracy and efficiency. Hence, the developed simulation technology can help engineers design and efficiently analyse the channel performance and quality. It also allows engineers to provide suggestions for the future wireless technologies selection (frequency band, output power, receiving sensitivity).

5. Too Small Not To Be Missed
Cost Effective Method to Repair Damaged Aero Engine
In today’s competitive airline market, maintenance of aero engine is an important economic consideration for operators. Extensive efforts have been directed to the development of innovative repair techniques, processes, and use of materials to increase the fraction of aero engine components that can be repaired. Nowadays, laser-assisted processes, such as laser melting deposition (LMD), laser surface alloying (LSA), laser-assisted mechanical micromachining (LAMM), are widely used in aero engine repairing. The common feature of these laser processes is to employ highly localised thermal softening of the material by continuous wave laser irradiation focused in front of a miniature cutting tool. However, since it is a heat-assisted process, it can induce a detrimental heat-affected zone (HAZ) in the part. Metallurgical changes such as micro-segregation, precipitation of secondary phases, presence of porosities, solidification cracking, grain growth, are frequently observed in the HAZ, which in turn lead to non-uniformity of microstructure and mechanical properties, and in some worst scenario, the failure of aero engine components. Obviously, for the same material used, the magnitude of the HAZ would be directly determined by the heat input during the laser processes. In this context, it is desirable to lower the processing temperature to reduce heat input and hence minimise the HAZ. In response to this need, A*STAR’s Institute of Materials Research and Engineering is focusing on nano-structured materials and application in aero engine laser repair.
6. Get in Shape Fast
Advanced metal forming technology of high performance materials for aerospace application
Some types of high performance materials such as chromoly steel, nickel-base alloy and titanium alloy are used for aerospace engine components. The fabrication cost of these materials is high because these are difficult-to-form materials. Therefore, the improvement in near-net-shape forming process of these materials is necessary to reduce the fabrication cost of aerospace components.

A*STAR’s Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology(SIMTech) has developed near-net-shape forming technology for thin walled components of light weight material and high performance materials by using advanced combined sheet and bulk forming process, optimising forming process design and die design rules.

7. Repair With a New Shine
Advanced metal forming technology of high performance materials for aerospace application
Nickel-base and Titanium-base superalloys are widely used for aero-engine components. The damaged parts need periodic repair or replacement to avoid loss of engine power, efficiency and breakdown. In most cases, repair is a more feasible solution than replacement. However, these kinds of materials are difficult to repair due to the issues of cracking, oxidation and maintenance of the grain size and micro-structure in the repaired region.
A*STAR’s SIMTech has developed a novel technology, Laser Aided Additive Manufacturing (LAAM) that can be used to accurately repair damaged parts and directly manufacture 3D components. Using low heat input and high automation level, this technology has shown significant advantages over traditional repair processes.

8. Making Good Sense
Health monitoring and diagnosis
A*STAR’s Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R) has developed a monitoring and diagnostics system that provides contactless detection of corrosion and the detection for defective parts in the aircraft. The early corrosion detection system can detect surface cracks (including length, width and depth) of less than 1mm. The defect detection system is capable of detecting disbond, delamination and impact damage in composites. With the rapid scan rates of 0.06m/min – 1.2m/min, non-visible surface cracks can be detected reliably accurately, minimising potential downtime.
In applying millimeter wave technology for both systems, there are number of advantages using such non-destructive testing (NDT) methods:
· The millimeter wave techniques are real-time, fast and contactless.
· Ability to detect cracks under paint coatings.
· Do not require a couplant to transmit the signal into the material under test (unlike ultrasonic methods).
· Millimeter wave is capable of penetrating most non-metallic materials.
· Millimeter wave systems are capable of producing robust inspections and can be manufactured for small, handheld and inexpensive devices.
· These systems use low microwave power (1-10mW)

SOI-CMOS Integrated Circuits for operation up to 300˚C
Many industries such as oil exploration, aerospace and automotive require electronic circuitry that operates at high temperatures.
To address these upcoming needs, A*STAR’s Institute of Microelectronics (IME) Rugged Electronics Programme develops sensor interface electronics that can reliably measure various physical parameters at soaring temperatures of up to 300°C and at environmental pressure of up to 30Kpsi.

IME’s new approach will address the limitations of conventional Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors to enable high resolution sensor interface circuits that can deliver critical data in harsh environments.


10. No Fleeting Moments
Non-volatile memories for high performance, radiation hardened aerospace applications
On-board applications in aircraft have increased demand for high performance electronics for use in in-flight entertainment. Thus, there is more reliance on electronic driven systems, and extensive sensor networks of structural health monitoring (SHM) systems.
This high-performance electronics applied to some aircraft components allow for condition-based repair and maintenance. By utilising integrated damage monitoring systems this could decrease the cost of repair and maintenance by 20%. To fully realise this advantage, the memories needed for such applications should consist of these key properties: large memory capacity, ability to operate at high temperatures, low power consumption, and radiation resistant. But current memories devices, which are based on flash and Static Random Access Memory technologies, tend to perform poorly.
A*STAR’s Data Storage Institute (DSI) has developed the next generation of non-volatile memories – Spin Transfer Torque-Mangetoresistive RAM and Phase Change RAM. The technology will aim to achieve low power consumption, heat resistance to operate up to 200°C, radiation resistance for high‐altitude environment, demonstrate high operability and reliability and to provide feasibility of non-volatile memories, and to deliver fabrication techniques. Importantly, it aims to provide the error-correction-codes that are specially designed for memory that are exposed to high temperature and high radiation environments.
STT-MRAM and PCRAM technologies are two core competencies that DSI has developed, with more than 30 patents filed.

11. Too Tough to Stop
High reliability package for harsh environment
Aerospace control is vital and requires very high reliability. The current aerospace control system is using electrical signal instead of the bulky and heavy but robust hydraulic control. In order to meet the cost effective requirement, the aerospace industry has been switching to off-the-shelf component. These commercial electronics components however are not designed to meet the long term high reliability requirement beyond 150°C. Further beyond, this poses a formidable challenge to the selection and development of material for high-temperature environment.
To mitigate this problem, the package design is not only to integrate and provide interconnectivity for the electronic devices but also to provide mechanical and thermal protection from the harsh environment without compromising on performance. This requires electrical, thermal and mechanical design to meet the operating requirements.
A*STAR’s IME has looked to develop the electronic driver circuit package for the electrical power of the aircraft braking system. The focus is to develop high-performance packaging platform that can endure in harsh environments which includes inter-connection, metallisation and protective coating. This involves the selection of the appropriate material for the coating, die attach and metallisation to achieve the operating requirement. In addition, this includes the design of the process flow and assembly for the forming of the reliable interconnects for the package. The package is expected to use conventional industry packaging technologies and organic printed circuit board, which can help to achieve a cost effective solution.
The project will develop mechanical, thermal and electrical packaging design rule for multi-chip module package. It will also explore and evaluate electrical integrated passive circuit for the driver package.
12. Connect on the Fly
Next Generation Cabin Communication Platform
In-flight entertainment and communication services are fast gaining importance for airline operators in their bid to attract customers by providing best possible services. However the size, weight, and power constraints on aircraft systems, coupled with rapid advancement in and multitude of communication and entertainment technologies means traditional methods of dedicated systems for each supported technology are no longer efficient.
Autonomic systems (such as Software Defined/Cognitive Radios) that can adapt and reconfigure themselves provides an alternative that will provide best mix of services, without provisioning for worst case capacity of all supported technologies.
A*STAR’s Institute for Infocomm Research has developed single platform to handle different communication platforms such as Global Systems for Mobile, Code Division Multiple Access, and Wireless Local Area Network. .As the number of users for different access technologies changes, it can intelligently reconfigure the resource distribution among different base access point functions, ensuring maximum number of users.

14. Find it, Move it, Use it
Automated Control and Self-Recovery System of Airfreight Terminal Operations
To build a world class fully automated airfreight terminal, A*STAR’s SIMTech took up the challenge to develop an automated control and self recovery system that executes and controls the transfer of containers (Unit Load Devices (ULDs) & Bins) across multiple material handling systems. The airfreight terminal contains over 80 different material handling systems which span 8 stories and was designed to handle 800,000 tons per annum. Key requirements include on-line configuration of material handling system, on-line origin-to-destination route configuration, operating vehicles in 4 different modes (Auto, Semi-Auto, Manual and Maintenance), handling of containers of different containers, and transfer optimisation of equipment capable of handling 2 to 6 containers. A suite of methodologies and technologies were conceptualised, validated through simulations, developed, deployed and continuously enhanced for such a complex system. The project was awarded the Institution of Engineers Singapore Prestigious Engineering Award in 2003.
This automated control system has been proven and enhanced with more than 10 years of operations. The key technologies developed comprises:
1. Intelligent Routing Engine for Automated Material Handling System
2. Multi-Objective Multi-Transfer Optimisation for Material Handling Equipment
3. Maintenance Diagnostic System


15. Keeping Stock
Simulation-based spare parts planning and optimisation system
D-SIMLAB Technologies Pte Ltd is a Singapore-headquartered leading provider of high-performance, simulation-based business analytics and process optimisation solutions for asset-intensive industries. They are based on a distributed, grid-enabled simulation and optimisation platform that enables sustainable performance enhancement of complex, mission-critical processes that are subject to significant random effects and cannot be handled with sufficient fidelity by existing systems.

It aims to become the de-facto tool to design, analyse, and continuously re-optimise component support contracts in the aviation industry.

20. A*STAR’s aerospace consortium has been at the core
of our aerospace research ecosystem over the past decade.
Through it, aerospace original equipment manufacturers, or
OEMs, and local enterprises have engaged in more than 120
aerospace research projects to date.
As of 17th of Jan, 2018

It's been almost 2 years since then. Completed projects only increased in number.

the Corp Lab projects developed more efficient and reliable energy delivery systems, and innovative manufacturing technologies to complement more robust power systems. The Corp Lab also looked into optimising production processes by extracting information from various equipment and workflows so that operators can make timely and informed decisions.

With safety and reliability being key concerns in the aerospace industry, the Corp Lab’s projects aimed at improving the design and development of repair technologies for next-generation repair engines, like Ultrafan. If you look at the aerospace industry and jet engines because human lives and safety criticality are in play. One has to ensure that there are no defects and parts should meet the highest standards. The Aero-Composites Repair project is aimed at developing novel, cost-effective repair methodologies to enhance the repair reliability and engine life cycle to reduce engine downtime

Other projects include the Modular Energy Storage System, which provides an electrical solution to air flight that is useful for lightweight hybrid electric aircrafts. Another project is the Virtual Engine Emulator which uses a special artificial intelligence (AI) system to develop large engines and turbines. Tapping into decades of engine design data, it quickly evaluates and identifies optimum solutions for future aircraft designs, thus significantly reducing design time. These are just some of the unique and innovative projects that are being pulled through to the company today.

These projects attest to the university’s drive in making sure that its research is translated into practical and impactful outcomes that are aimed at resolving societal problems, and improve conditions of living. The various successful projects were trialled and test-bedded right here on the NTU Smart Campus, where other advanced technologies are being developed in partnership with industry. These partnerships are crucial in fostering a research ecosystem that develops cutting-edge solutions which echoes NTU’s strong track record in translational research excellence.

Advancing into to Phase 2

After a successful Phase 1, the Corp Lab is now moving into Phase 2 with a joint funding of S$88 million over the next five years, and encompassing 29 new Industry 4.0 projects. These projects address five key thrusts, namely: Rolls-Royce Electrical (with a primary focus on developing industrial power electronics solutions), Manufacturing Technology, Advanced Repair and Materials, Data Analytics and Complex Systems, and Internet-of-Things.

Some of these will revolutionise air travel as we know it. For example, the Corp Lab will now look at developing innovative energy storage solutions to enable and enhance hybrid-electric flight engines. This will also reduce harmful emissions and reliance on fossil fuels in the aerospace industry by accelerating the adoption of clean energy systems.

The partnership will also leverage AI and Data Science to process large chunks of data that includes product quality, equipment ageing and degradation, and even environmental conditions. This data-driven approach will streamline and optimise production processes, ensuring aerospace parts and products are of the highest quality, consistency, and reliability.

Corporate labs and industry partnerships

These are just some of the cutting-edge research projects that the Corp Lab will work on, underlining NTU’s research focus in ensuring that everything we do remain industry relevant and impactful. The tripartite partnership is an example of a highly successful collaboration between academia, industry and government that translates world-class research into useful products, processes and systems. The projects will continue to be trialled and test-bedded right here on NTU’s Smart Campus, which is home to seven Corporate Labs each focussing on different areas of technological innovation.

For example, our HP-NTU Digital Manufacturing Corp Lab which we launched last fall that DPM officiated, focuses on digital manufacturing technologies, specifically in advancing 3D printing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, new materials and applications, and cybersecurity.

A CN-235-220 multipurpose aircraft on order for the Nepalese Army has begun its journey home, a representative from Indonesia's state-owned aerospace company, PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI), confirmed to Jane's on 30 October.
The aircraft began the journey from Bandung, West Java, on the same day, and is scheduled to arrive in Kathmandu, Nepal, on 2 November. The aircraft will make stops in the Indonesian city of Medan in Sumatra, as well as Bangladesh and Myanmar on its journey home.
The aircraft, which bears the serial number AX-2347, will be the second CN-235-220 to be operated by the Nepalese Army's Air Service. The country signed for its first airframe of the type with PTDI in 2017, and ordered the subsequent aircraft in the following year.

that's just the exterior, aerostructure and composites

empty hull/shell with nothing in the interior

dozens of countries do that

the critical or difficult parts are avionics/electronics, aero engine and other parts or components that have to face strenuous task of bearing great stress maybe heat/cold and changes in pressure even rain or snow. thrust reversers, nacelles etc are tough to build too. even landing gear, apu, ecs, etc all need to be imported for indonesia.

 

[mudhatter]

A Muslim jet yeah right.

why not?

both airbus & boeing have various Muslim country manufactured parts inside them.

they contain stinkypura manufactured parts too, not a big deal.

tiong comac c919 or russkie jets are no different.

stinkypura has just completed purchase of formerly GE's Middle River Aircraft systems.

known for designing building thrust reversers, nacelles (where engines are housed in aircrafts).

all the biggest players incl airbus bombardier tiongkok's comac boeing has some aircraft or the other that got nacelles ordered from MRAS (now owned by stinkypura)

 

[mudhatter]

Who the f*ck advises Erdogan, really?

He/she has to be some sub-70 IQ cretin for all intents and purposes.

Is this a joke Erdogan is partaking in where only Muslims (mostly Arabs but also other Middle Easterners) get killed, by the millions, while Jews (non-Muslims) in the Middle East are spared, Yankee (non Muslims) kuffar are spared, Eurots (kuffar/non Muslims) are spared, Russkies (non Muslims) are spared, Chinks (non Muslims) are spared, Burmese (non Muslims) are spared, Ah Nehs (non Muslims) are spared?


For crying out loud, the reason Iran, Turkey, Pakistan are the three strongest Muslim majority countries - in that precise order and not in any other order - is that they are almost entirely/100% Muslims.

Not many kafir dogs and bastards in their populations to pollute their countries.

Look at Malaysia - with sooooo many kuffar rats and dogs polluting the country, the country has literally gone to the dogs and have little or no achievements to show.

Another fine example would be Lebanon. With so many kafir rats and dogs in the mix, the country has literally gone to the dogs.

FYI, more than 40% (!) of Malaysia's population and and around 46% (!) of Lebanon's population is KAFIR.

Another fine example would be Egypt. Since it has too many kuffar, Chrisitians/Copts, they backstabbed Muslim Egyptians in characteristic fashion to have the West/Yankees/Ang Mohs/alongside their poodles/vassals in Saudi/UAE dictatorial/despotic regimes install a poodle dictator in the form of Sisi, only a year or so after Egypt's first ever democratically elected leader gained power. During that brief period, the kafir bastards did everything in their power to interrupt the daily operations of the gov't officials through entrenched deep state officials.


Long story short, the exact reason Iran, Turkey and Pakistan are the three strongest Muslim majority countries in the world - in exactly that order and in no other - are that they have almost 100%/entirely Muslims within their population.


With that out of the way, now let's look at how Erdogan has 'managed' affairs in the wider Middle East, particularly the Arab world.

Millions of Syrian refugees poured in. Hundreds of thousands of innocent Syrian civilians dead, numerous other innumerable atrocities and violence has befallen the innocent Syrian civilians. And for what?

Had Turkey detonated nuclear weapons publicly - and this is important, the tests have to be publicized - and tested ICBMs to send the message across that nuclear weapons can be delivered to any location on Earth, millions of innocent civilians Muslims and Arabs from the wider Middle East would have been spared enormous damage to their lives, health, prosperity, property and dignity.

That could have easily allowed Turkey to unite the entire Arab world and beyond - if needed, through popular referendum and get rid of unpopular, unelected dictators.

----------------

As things stand now, what makes Erdogan think he has any leverage over Russia on Syria? On Libya? On S-400 deals?

What makes Erdogan think he has any leverage over Trump/Pentagon on any issue any where in the world? Some minor sanctions by Trump and Erdogan backtracked immediately. Tells you exactly how vulnerable Turkey as a country remains.


Now with Russia bombing Al Bab, which has been under Turkish 'protection', again what leverage does Erdogan have?

Russia/Assad/Iran is determined to expel Turkey out of Syria. What can Turkey do? Accept it lying down? What about the millions of refugees that will pour in to Turkey then?


Calculations are simple:

1. Turkey fasttracks development of ICBMs and nuclear weapons. Tests ICBM and nuclear weapons. Stockpiles enough ICBMs and nuclear warheads.

Then, Erdogan tells Putin:

Look, I can nuke Moscow hundreds of times, nuke Saint Petersburg dozens of times, nuke any of the hundreds of smaller cities in Russia as far away as Vladivostok.

If you want to trade off your top 100 cities in exchange for a tiny presence in Syria, so be it.

End of discussion. Meeting ends. Communication ends.


2. Or Turkey can do what it is doing now, which looks more and more like a third world 'haggling in the bazaar' sort of negotiations. .

There is no logical consistency, no reasoning, no calculations, no justifications for what you are doing. You base your decisions based on gut feeling, on your instincts and make short-term, off the cuff decisions, often at the expense of your own medium and long term benefits.

Really retarded.


3. The fact that Turkey and Erdogan have this mortal fear of Yankee sanctions and embargo tell us at least two things:

I. Turkey, just like Pakistan, is an inherently weaker country than Iran. Because Iran has suffered from decades of sanctions, embargo, demonization, isolation, subversion attempts and even assassination of their scientists while Turkey and/or Pakistan can't even contemplate enduring a year or two of the same, Iran remains an inherently stronger, more resilient, more capable country than either Turkey or Pakistan, or both of them combined.

This is exactly why Iran could dare to hit Yankee military bases, in public, and claim responsibility for it, under "Reformist" (i.e. sellout/Western leaning/and not hardliner) government whereas Turkey or Pakistan don't even dare to declare war against the Zionists, against Yankees, or dare to hit Yankee troops openly and claim responsibility.

In other words, with hardliners in government, Iran could have exacted a more severe revenge on Yankees incl nuking Whitehouse, Pentagon, stockpiling a stash of 5,000 thermonukes, taking over Saudi/petro kingdoms, nuking Negev desert as a precautionary note, followed by a few hundred mushroom clouds over Tel Aviv, Haifa and other Zionist-infested terror havens.

My calculations show that none of Putin, Pentagon or Zionists would like to be hit by 5,000 nuclear warheads in a matter of hours.

This is the mistake the likes of 80 million Iran, 80 million Turkey have been making. Your population limits your ambitions, your abilities. You can never, not in the next 100 years, counter the West.

Doesn't matter what happens, 1 billion+ West will always offer a bigger more lucrative offer to any 3rd party - be they tiongs, russkies, ah nehs, latinos, africans, ASEAN-non-Muslims, or whereever else you may go.

That is true today and will remain true another 100 years from now.

Since Iran and Turkey are 'peanuts' in population size compared to Western countries (over 1b ppl) but relatively big in the Middle Eastern context (only Egypt has slightly more people than either Iran or Turkey in the wider Middle East), it's not hard to see why Iran or Turkey can be stronger than any Arab country or for that matter any other Muslim majority country.

That's because the Middle East, as the core of the wider Muslim world, has always been the leading region and the most powerful, influential and advanced region of the wider Muslim world. Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh or Nigeria, despite having more people, are just too backward, primitive, lacking in technology, national identity, coherence, foreign policy independence, ruled by despots or corrupt leaders and remain vassals of some other bigger powers or the other.




II. Much of Turkey's propagandized "Indigenous" hardware and vapourware is mostly off-the-shelf components cobbled together by system integrators, and license produced hardware reliant on foreign tech and knowhow, apart from critical subsystems, which the West does not mind sharing with Turkey and does not mind concealing since Turkey remains a firmly 'secular' country even under Erdogan, recognizes Zionist entity and remains a NATO member.


If sanctions and embargo are activated by Yankees on Turkey, then much of these "indigenous" hardware and vapourware will be exposed for what they are - license produced/assembled foreign tech.

That is why Erdogan/Turkey suffers from a mortal fear of Yankee sanctions and embargo.

There is no other logical reason for doing what Erdogan has been doing so far.



3. The logical decision to make is to test nuclear bombs and ICBMs first, in public, secure the Arab world from outside bombing and violence (i.e. no yankee, zionist, russian, european etc massacre or bombing of Arabs allowed, otherwise nuclear exchange will take place) and then help the Arabs unite under one 'country'/regime by toppling these dictatorships imposed by the Yanks.

Then, help the Arabs and the rest of the Muslims develop further, advance further in sciences and technologies, provide justice and freedom to the oppressed Arabs and Muslims and help the Muslim world take its rightful place in the world.

Remember, the only region of the world, with an overwhelming Muslim majority population is the wider Middle East.

Without the Middle East leading a united Muslim world, there is no hope for the rest of the Muslims of the world.

And we see that due to Yankee declared 'war on terror' since 2001, which has benefitted the Zionists more than any other entity anywhere in the world, now Zionists, Ah Nehs, Chinks, Burmese and a whole assorted list of turd world monkeys have been emboldened.


The only solution to this predicament is in braving sanctions, braving embargoes, braving isolation - to develop, produce, stockpile and publicly test ICBM and nuclear bombs.


With only 80 million people, none of Turkey or Iran has any chance whatsoever of overturning Yankee presence in the Middle East or to counter the West militarily, technologically, economically, politically or diplomatically.


You need something that 'equalizes' the lopsided advantages enjoyed by the West. You either need massive populations (on the order of billions, like Tiongs or even Ah Nehs have), or you need nukes and ICBMs.

Let's get on with the program and build ICBMs and nukes.

That's the only way to save the Muslims of the world, I repeat, world and not just the Middle East.


Fear of sanctions/embargo/isolation is no policy.

If anybody sanctions you, you strike back twice as hard. How do you do that? Build more nukes and ICBM and hand them out to the likes of Taliban, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and various other groups that want revenge on your enemies.

You see, having publicly tested nukes and ICBMs only strengthens you.

Trying to counter the West (which has almost 1 billion ppl, depending on your definition, they have even more) without any equalizer is a futile exercise.

The entire Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia, Pakistan, Turkey and Balkans - combined - have fewer people than Ah Neh land! Let alone Tiongkok!


How to fight the West? How to counter the West?

You think Russkies would have been able to counter West and stand strong after a round of sanctions and embargo without its huge stash of nukes, ICBMs and MIC - Military Industrial Complex - inherited from the Soviet Union that has given it a leg up in furthering its indigenous defence programmes?


It makes no logical sense whatsoever for 80m countries like Iran, or Turkey, to avoid publicly testing ICBMs and nukes. None.

Anything else leads to a disaster, disasters after disasters. And that's what has been unfolding all over the Arab world, Middle East and the wider Muslim world.

 

[KuanTi01]

I hail Iran Turkey and Pakistan. They have every right to be nuclear-armed and in fact armed to the teeth; considering that the West led by the USA would dearly love to see them impoverished, perished and regime-changed so as to install puppet governments beholden and subservient to them.

 

[mudhatter]

I hail Iran Turkey and Pakistan. They have every right to be nuclear-armed and in fact armed to the teeth; considering that the West led by the USA would dearly love to see them impoverished, perished and regime-changed so as to install puppet governments beholden and subservient to them.

They are also fortunate enough not to be Arabs, ergo, not obvious enemies of Zionists, hence, not such obvious targets for destabilization, regime change and take over.

Turkey is still a NATO member. Tells you quite a lot.

Iranians know that despite trying to play down Zionists' abilities, they have hit a brick wall in that they can't defeat Zionists militarily. So what they do is divert attention to a 'softer' target, which is obviously the Arabs, vast majority of whom are Sunnis, since the Yanks or the West would have no problems with more and more Arabs being killed by Iranians. The West has a problem with more and more kafir being killed by Iranians, which is why Iran has not killed or displaced millions of kafir.

As for Pakistan, it limits its ambitions strictly to Ah Nehs. Since Pakistanis were strong Yankee allies during the cold war, some of that strategic bonhomie still exists among the elites of both countries. So long as Pakis turn a blind eye to whatever Yanks or Zionists do to various Muslim groups -as Pakistanis have done in practice for the last 4 decades or more - Yanks let Pakistanis be.

By the way, it only took one threat of "bombing back to the stone age" by Yanks for Pakistan to fold and surrender, to allow Yankee/NATO troops access to Afghanistan through its soil, even though as a result of that decision, Pakistan lost some 80,000 of its citizens on its own turf and reported over $100 billion in economic damages over the course of the last 18 odd years.

Population also matters. Except for Egypt, no Arab country has enough population to match Iran or Turkey and no Middle Eastern country has as many people as Pakistan.

If the Arab world were just one big superstate of 400 million people, of course, things would have been very different.

You would see then, that not only Zionists or the West led by Yanks, but Iranians suddenly getting active in preventing that from happening. So would Turks, at least under Erdogan. Interestingly, under a so called "Islamist" Erdogan, who happens to recognize Zionists and tries to justify this decision as heinous as it is, Turkey has only "invaded" already ruined/destroyed/invaded Muslim majority/Arab majority countries of Iraq, Syria and Libya, but did not dare to touch a single kafir country or community with its military - anywhere in the planet. Not the Zionists. Not the Yanks. Not the Russkies. Not the Greeks. Not the Bulgarians. Not the Georgians. Not the Armenians (who have fought wars and have active disputes with their Turkic brothers Azerbaijan, yet no action from the "Islamist" Erdogan?). Not the Ah Nehs. Not the Tiongs. Not even the feeble weakling Burmese.

Statistically, it is clear that Erdogan has been an enemy of Muslims based on his decisions. He is not neutral. He is not a friend. He is an enemy given that not a single kafir country or entity was attacked by Turkish military under so called "Islamist" Erdogan's rule.

The facts are hard to deny.

 

[mudhatter]

Once China is taken out, Iran's Islamofascist regime will implode. No more oil sales to China and no more tech from China.

Christofascist and Judeofascist entities will be taken out before that happens. Literally.

What do you think the 'earthquake' near Tehran was about when Trump attacked and killed Soleimani?

tech? tiong tech?

dont make me laugh

stupid tiongs dun have system equivalent to bavar 373 yet

tiongs need to purchase russkie s400 and su35 says it all about tiong j20 'stealth' fighter, and how capable networked and 'stealth' they are



Two earthquakes hit Iran near nuclear plant

A magnitude 4.9 earthquake hit Iran early Wednesday morning and was followed by a second magnitude 4.5 earthquake an hour later, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The quakes struck near Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant.

Tuesday, the country launched a retaliatory missile attack targeting the Al-Asad Airbase and Erbil Airbase in Iraq where U.S. troops are stationed. Iranian leaders previously vowed a military response after the U.S. launched an attack that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani last week.




what do u tink those were?

what do u think those quakes were for? nuclear tests were conducted and sent message to yankee not to make more mischief. result will be self-explanatory otherwise.

only alongside those two nuclear explosions --- ooops - earthquakes, were the ballistic missiles fired on yankee military base.



bavar 373

nothing tiongs can match or surpass

 

[mudhatter]

Iran has really proven to be the crown jewel of all Middle Eastern countries including the Zionist terrorist hotspot


and also the leading light for all Muslims of the world

and for all independent countries not bowing down to yankee orders or threats



yankee much vaunted 'stealth' tech nullfied, as proven in real life by Iran

downed

'stealth' rq-170 or rq-4 yankee drones got more RCS or less RCS than yankee f-35 or f-22 ?

if Iran can detect track shoot down RQ-4 low RCS drones, what of F-22 or F-35?

and what of 'stealthy' rq-170 drone?


also downed

 

[mudhatter]

yanks have been hyper-active on propagating the myth that big bulky slow aircraft carriers are hard to track or even detect

Iranian regime has different ideas


easy or hard to track big bulky slow moving aircraft carriers?

let's see

iran released footage of its drones tracking aircraft carriers

sth no country on Earth has done

no country on Earth except Islamic Republic (supposedly) or Iran has shown footage of tracking aircraft carriers in motion.


not russkies
not tiongs
not europa
not zionist terrorists
not japs
not ceca
not gooks
not taiwanese slanties
not pakis
not turks
not arabs
not any ASEAN country
not any other countries

iran released footage of its extrmely accurate anti ship ballistic missiles hitting ships on water, many years ago

sth no country on Earth has done

no country on Earth except Islamic Republic (supposedly) or Iran has shown footage of successfully, precisely hitting ships on water with ballistic missiles

the video is from 9 years ago

iran has only improved since then.



at tiong tech



at iranian regime can collapse before christo fascist judeo fascists regime can collapse.

 

[mudhatter]

not many countries have test Anti SATellite Missiles or ASAT Missiles

who has done so? yanks. russkies. tiongs. ceca.

and who else? not the frog eaters for sure. no europa faggots either.


here is the latest air defence exercise from iran

this new 'beast' of a missile, never revealed before to the public

look at the 'airframe' of the missile

no fins, no strakes, from what little can be seen.

most probably, this missile is exo-atmospheric, meaning, it rises high above the Earth's atmosphere, which is mostly considered to be up to 100 km above from sea level, and since beyond the Earth's atmosphere, there is no air so to speak, they can't use fins for control or can't use any "control surfaces" for controlling its motion. then they rely on thrust-vector mechanism to alter course and directly hit the target. "hit-to-kill" or "kinetic kill vehicle" as they call it.

within earth's atmosphere, there is friction or drag as they call it, due to motion through air. fins, strakes, or control surfaces help in controlling motion of a missile or other 'airframes' within the atmosphere.

this means Iran is officially declaring it is capable of taking down satellites

maybe, for good reason, it is hiding more capable systems from public view, so enemies are always uncertain, unsure of how the enemies would meet their swift and well deserved demise

I won't be surprised if Iran reveals anti-Hypersonic Glide Vehicle, anti-HGVs too. Tough as it may be, it's certainly not beyond Iran's capabilities.

A country with an ancient civilization, proud and intelligent people.

most importantly older and well preserved continued heritage longer than that of

tiongs/ALL slanties
CECA
Russkies
Europa
zionist terrorists

and most others (but not all others)

a continuous civilization that is older than that of tiongs/slanties, ceca, russkies, europa faggots, zionist terrorists etc etc can only go from strength to strength


build 5 megacities, instead of current 1 megacity in capital Tehran

5 megacities already would contain 50 million people minimum

supported by 5 other medium sized cities, 5-8 million ppl each.

that's another 25-40 million people.

add another 12 smaller cities of 1-2 million people each

that's another 12-24 million people

then you'd have 89-114 million people in these 22 cities.

add smaller towns and villages.

population easily reaches 100 million to 125 million.

enough for Iran to produce more scientists, researchers, generate more business, tap its own resources worth hundreds of trillions of dollars/euros/pounds/equivalents

and reach for the skies as they say.

 

[ilovechinesegal]

The fact is that they shot your general already.

 

[mudhatter]

The fact is that they shot your general already.

fact is thousands of yankees uplorried already too.

thanks to iran proxies.

prob earliest example was in 1983 beirut barrack case

of coz iran now led by TURKIC donkey khamenei an azeri turkic donkey

those donkeys can't even defeat poor landlocked tinier (3 times smaller) armenia after month long campaign while having oil riches buying lots of weapons siding with zionists in effect getting the yanks and the entire 1 billion Western ang mohs to side with them.

while armenians got no open diplomatic support from russkies iran or anybody else.

such TURKIC donkeys have always been the bane of the Islamic world

since it was the TURKIC ottomans under which, for the first time ever, Muslim world fell behind the West in sci tech industrial production developments and geopolitical influence

while Spain was under Muslim rule, it served as beacon of development for rest of the world and for backward europa fags in dark ages

 

[mudhatter]

some good news in recent times have flown under the radar

maybe ang moh kia dun want to upset their sheeple and instead want to project an image of strength or invincibility.

first news is that iran got verified icbm tested, although it's still just a low payload icbm (at 10-12000 km range), payload may be as low as 300 kg to 500 kg

this icbm is called Qaem-100,

the iranian regime says it plans to launch more advanced/powerful vehicles in future, called qaem105, qaem 110, qaem 120 or such. going up to 36,000 km away from Earth in geo (geostationary earth orbit)


for better or for worse, norkies say they tested world's largest icbm. hwasong 17, some crude estimates using wildly guessed figures for certain crucial parameters suggest they may be able to carry 1700 kg payload to 13000 km away, anywhere in yankee territory. that means norkie hwasong 17 may be able to carry multiple nuclear warheads, each weighing abt 300-500 kg or maybe able to carry a few nuclear warheads and a few chaffs/flares/other items intended to fool yankee "ballistic missile defence" radars.


problem with hwasong 17 might be that because it is too bulky, too big and heavy, it may not be so mobile, you can only carry it on certain trailers/transporters or wheeled vehicles, and that satellites drones and other intelligence gathering vehicles can spot them quite easily. not all village dirt roads can withstand the weight of such monstrous missiles, so it'd be easy to keep track of such missiles since they can only be transported along a few well known routes. moreover, they might also take a pretty long time to be "erected", before they are launched.

credit to twitter user @amirigm

so with this qaem-100 publicly tested iran becomes first OIC member state to posses publicly tested ICBM, able to hit targets anywhere in the world albeit it can only send a measly payload maybe in the 300-500 kg range.

but good news is that more powerful vehicles may be in the offing.

aesthetically pleasing (BEAUTIFUL) video of qaem 100 icbm launch




here's norkie hwasong 17 icbm launch. estimated range of 13000 km, payload of 1700 kg.



and in even more "exciting" news, just earlier today, russkies tested new missile defence system. i don't know the name of this system. is it part of s-500 or some other missile defence system?

tested in kazakhstan


an absolute monster of a missile, immense acceleration (i've never seen anything like it tested anywhere on Earth, yet, before today), great girth. and able to reach high altitudes, strategically important missile. this missile test must have sent a political message to others like yanks and gayropeans.





fair to say, russkies have stolen the show.

now it's up to yanks and tiongs to up the ante and showcase their worth.

iran and norkies, as two most isolated countries in the world, with possession of full fledged icbm and nuclear warheads (in case of north korea, this is true but iran has not yet publicly tested any nukes yet) have performed remarkably well but given their isolation and natural constraints in population and size, they can't progress beyond a certain threshold.

they'll remain followers rather than leaders for decades to come, i guess.
still not bad by any means from iran or norkies
