How is this a kamikaze drone when it has bigger MTOW than a TB2? And it cannot be launched from a catapult as Sanchez said. I hope they designed it with tight packaging in mind and can be stacked and easily assembled in the place it will take off from.

can someone explain how can Siper block 2 missile be bigger than SM-3 block1 missile and have only 150km+ range while the SM-3 has over 1000km range? is it the guidance or something? or maybe SM-3 having no payload(hit-to-kill) has a huge advantage? because propulsion efficiency cannot explain...

this is very bad

Trump needs to wrap this up very soon or go all in. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Now choose your poison.

he says it's been certified by a Turkish institution. Not a word of EASA or foreign certification uttered by him.

we need 7-8 peaceful years to build and upgrade our airforce to Israel's quality level and numbers. but that wouldn't cut it alone even if we had the most powerful conventional force in the region. nukes turn the equation upside down. there's no substitute for them. we need at least 100 warheads...

I'm not convinced it's solely a transactional business for the politicians. If it were, other rich countries that could outpay Israel could bought the politicians and have the US on a leash. why can't China do that? or the rich Arab countries? America's fealty to the Israel cannot be explained...

the incumbent would fear losing the elections and resist Israel's "charms". but i don't know what Israel have on US politicians. maybe all the top-brass were on Epstein island and being blackmailed by Israel to walk in lock step with them. who knows?

I highly doubt that. There's no American interest to wage a war against Iran that would grant public support for it. The idea was already very unpopular to begin with. If Iran can prove that attacking their country will cost you an arm and a leg then what argument would the warhawks use to sell...

If Iran has any brains it would use all its stockpile of missiles against the US targets and not waste them against Israel. They need to kill as many American soldier as possible to cause unrest in the US and hope that the government will yield to public pressure and withdraw from the region...

what partnership model could we offer when we're so far in development? The aircraft's sensor suit is already developed, its engine is in CDR and we started printing KAAN prototypes. Time will tell but maybe having no partner was a blessing for us. Having one chef in the kitchen gives us...

Much appreciated (y) can you also give us a perspective on military turbofan testing campaign? by that I mean, assume the company has designed and built the first prototype and we fired the engine the first time. Between the first firing and delivery into service, what percentage of engineering...

3 prototypes side by side

this is amazing to watch
