Folks, why don't you keep religious discussion away from foreign policy thread? Turkiye can either become an isolationist middle power or grow more than that by forming mutually beneficial alliances. So far, this alliance between Pak, Turkiye and KSA seems mutually beneficial as each bring set...

Bro, is there anything on AMCA's EOTS and DAS/MAWS? I haven't seen any mock-ups on those.

@Gessler do you know if this rendering of AMCA radar is accurate? 1528 TRM.

Which is unlikely imo.

I think it requires the attacked country to invoke the clause first to be aided. Which Saudi didn't do so far afaik.

Yes, but in practice adding more TRM increases the aperture size proportionally. And if it is the same TRM, it will increase the total emission output too. Let alone a more powerful one. I thought, roughly 4x aperture area include all four (frontal, two sides and rear) arrays of KAAN...

Bro, just my humble opinion. KAAN with F110 is better than Eurofighter. And if you receive KAAN in 2028 and Eurofighter in 2030, well, I wonder if the amount being spent on 20 Eurofighter ($10 billions+) could have been diverted to up the production of KAAN and buy some additional F110 to...

Thanks, That make sense. But could you tell how did you calculate 2.8x maximum range increase? I am seem to be getting 2x only (For the nose array comparison) using the formula AESA radar calculator developer gave. ((2304/1152)^3*(60/30))^(1/4) =2.

4000 TRM?

Massive radome. At least 1 meter aperture. 43% bigger than current APG-81's 700mm aperture and roughly 10% bigger than APG-77 910mm aperture.

So what are the extra 25 AESA for? Any guess?

I think the point is, it has control surfaces to make meaningful course correction long after its release as it glides for extend period of time to reach extended range. Hence adverse release dynamics shouldn't effect terminal accuracy.

They do. (But now that Messi didn't live up to the expectations, just trying to fix it with @TR_123456 😁 after this)
