I flied to Abu Dhabi 🇦🇪 today to attend #NAVDEX2023 defence exhibition with @navalnewscom team. Stay tuned for exclusive content under this thread 🧵 👍 ImageImage
Here I am! Last preparations for the exhibition are still ongoing. #NAVDEX2023 #IDEX2023 ImageImageImage
.@aselsan's new frigate design with a reversed bow. It's a technological demonstration. The hull number, 2023, refers to the 100th anniversary of the Turkish Republic. #NAVDEX2023 #IDEX2023 Image
Here we go! Image
Nice and big pavillion of the Edge Group
Robotic demonstration of Ghost Robotics.
.@BaykarTech showcased AKINCI, the flying fish, with its wide weapons portfolio, including SOM anti-ship missile, Gokdogan and Bozdogan air-to-air missiles, and other indigenous smart munitions. 🇹🇷🦈 ImageImageImage
Today, I enjoyed touring Pakistan's PNS Yarmook with the Pakistani brothers. Thanks for the warm welcome, I wish fair winds and following seas. 🇵🇰🤝🇹🇷

Here is my story:

Fire fighting demonstration including two men "flying" with jet suits and a surface drone spreading water. #NAVDEX2023
Conference by the Commander of CMF about the use unmanned system and AI technologies in maritime security operations. #NAVDEX2023 ImageImage
Uncrewed systems dominate #IDEX2023 and #NAVDEX2023, many companies showcased different type of drones for every domain. I covered the Chinese one, the A45, which provided a rare opportunity to learn about several Chinese systems.

A technology demonstration. Kronos submarine looks like BatMobile. Still, I am doubtful that it can dive, because the hatches don't look waterproof 😊 But, it's compatible to the soul of Dubai&Abu Dhabi 🤣 ImageImageImageImage
.@RAFAELdefense's C-GEM (Shipborne Off-Board Active Decoy) ImageImageImageImage

China's CSSC showcased 2 variants of JARI USV, which are heavily armed (SAM, SSM, torpedo) and can deployed unmanned helicopter. ImageImageImageImage

UUVs (Strugeon) and USVs (two variants of JARI and Xuanlong) from Chinese CSSC's booth. The officials were not generous in revealing information. The UUVs are for general purpose (civilian and some military ops) and the USVs are heavily armed compared to their size. ImageImageImageImage

I had a chance to experience the VR/AR powered ship simulator developed by Fincantieri.

The ship is Bergamini-class FREMM frigate, and the environment is La Spezia port.

This simulator is used by the Italian Navy and Qatar Emiri Naval Forces. Image
The first 3D-printed surface drone, the HYDRA USV, was manufactured in the company’s large 3D printing facility, which is defined as the world’s largest robotic additive manufacturing machinery.

Chinese torpedoes at CSSC booth. From up to down;

- ET 80 torpedo designed to launch from ASROC-like launchers
- ET 60 lightweight torpedo
- ET 40 heavy torpedo

At the presentation videos of torpedoes, CSSC showed Japanese destroyers as target 🤦 Image

1-The recent conflict in the Red Sea served as a crucial test of the operational readiness of U.S. naval forces, particularly the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. During these engagements, a variety of naval vessels intercepted a significant number of ballistic missiles, kamikaze drones, and other threats.
2-Most of these were neutralized at a safe distance by advanced weapon systems, with only one missile being intercepted by the Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) at approximately 2 kilometers.

navalnews.com/naval-news/202…
3-From an outsider’s perspective, these successes might seem straightforward, but the reality is far more complex. Intercepting an incoming missile—even one utilizing older technology—is a challenging process that demands well-maintained systems and highly trained personnel. Image

In modern naval warfare, surface and air surveillance sensors are evolving rapidly, but the underwater domain remains a complex area where one can more easily hide.

🧵
1-Sonar, the primary sensor for underwater detection, is heavily affected by underwater environmental factors. In negative gradient water conditions, submarines enjoy a significant tactical advantage, as these conditions make them extremely difficult to detect. Image
2-In contrast, under positive gradient conditions or other more favorable sonar environments, submarines often choose to stay beneath the layer depth—a natural barrier where sonar signals have great difficulty reaching—further enhancing their stealth and evading detection. This strategic use of depth in varying water conditions enables submarines to maintain a low profile and avoid enemy surveillance effectively.Image

Bugün Deniz Kuvvetleri Komutanlığı yalnızca bir denizaltıyı hizmete almadı, daha önce envanterde olmayan bir teknolojiyi de hizmete aldı: Air Independent Propulsion (AIP), yani Havadan Bağımsız Tahrik (HBT) sistemi.

Bu sistemin avantajını çalakalem yazacağım.
1-Denizaltı harekatının temelini gizlilik oluşturur. Bir denizde düşmana ait yeri bilinmeyen bir denizaltı varsa kimse huzurlu bir şekilde gemisini götüremez. Teknolojisine bakmaksızın, 1 denizaltıyı bulmak için bazen koca bir filo seferber edilir. Image
2-Bu denizaltının illa hücum etmesine gerek yok, varlığına yönelik bir istihbarat bile stratejik intikalleri bile geciktirebilir. Eğer intikal edeceğiniz yol güvenli değilse stratejik nakliyat ya da değerli birlik bulunan konvoyu oradan geçirmek risk olur. Image

Today, the problems experienced by the Hellenic Navy's Meko 200HN class HS Hydra frigate during its Red Sea mission have become a trending topic on Twitter. I will address these based on my own experience. 🧵
ieidiseis.gr/ellada/251828/…
1-According to the reports, the commander of the Hydra was warned by the Larissa NATO Operations Center of an incoming ballistic missile, which then exploded 150 meters away. There is an irrationality here. Image
2-NATO-affiliated ships involved in joint operations use a Link-11 network, where each ship (or its helicopter, etc.) broadcasts detected contacts via this network, providing a comprehensive surface/air tactical picture visible to all ships in the area. This picture is also sent via satellite to NATO operations centers, disseminating the final tactical picture back to the ships.Image

New thread 🧵

1- When promoting missiles on social media, there's often a lot of talk about "hitting critical areas of the ship thanks to this system," especially concerning the features of the guidance system. Image
2-However, it’s important to understand that you cannot hit the pre-aimed part of a maneuvering ship engaged in operations. This is true even for the most advanced missiles like the NSM or LRASM. Image
3-The assumption that a missile can hit a ship in a desired area is valid for stationary or very slow-moving ships. In reality, no warship remains stationary waiting for an incoming missile to arrive. In anti-ship missile defence (ASMD), ships maneuver aggressively. If a warship detects a guided missile (with ESM or radar), it will begin countermeasures, known in NATO as ZIPPO reactions.Image

Russia has lost 2 ships (1 LST, 1 logistic tanker) in 2 days due to Ukraine's kamikaze attacks on USVs.

However, in recent months, the Russian MoD announced that Russian intelligence ships have repelled several kamikaze USV attacks.

Let's explore this subject. 🧵🧵🧵
1-Russian Black Sea Fleet suffered from the kamikaze USV attacks in this war. They lost several assets as a result of these assaults, and Ukraine's USV tactics started to change paradigms in the naval scene.

navalnews.com/naval-news/202…
2-After a few attacks, the Russian MoD stated that an AGI repelled USV attack with machine guns, and provided some footage.

As a result, people started to think that Russia learned from previous losses.
