Germany will not budge, and EF will slowly be on its way out as Europe arms itself mainly with F-35s. No aircraft stands a chance against the F-35 in modern BVR warfare. That's why Europeans are ditching the obsolete Eurofighters. As for the 6th gen tenders, NGAD is likely already in the...

Lmao, turkey will be majority arabs and afghans by the time Greece gets F-35s. Turkish economy won't afford to keep funding the Kaan fighter project, Erdogan should consider spending the budget on ummah refugees instead, their prayers will help more

KAAN's stealth isn't on par with F-35. Considering the larger size and no diverterless inlets. Plus giving KAAN to Pakistan or some other third world countries means Greece will just slip a few euros to some Pakistani air force commander and the next day knows about its RCS angles, radars...

Exceptional capabilities of the F-35 will revolutionize air dominance on a scale never seen before. In 2010, F-35 detected and tracked the launch of a rocket from 1300 km utilizing it's Distributed Aperture System. Carrying the most modern ramjet BVR missile Meteor, it doesn't fuck...

Nukes are useless in terms of international disputes. Owing to their binary nature, they don't occupy and control waters and airspace. You either launch and get destroyed, or don't launch and it's as if you don't have them. Let's say Turkey acquires them and then Greece, with F-35s, declares...

The decision to include Pakistan itself is a telling sign about the situation of the project. Now that F110's are off the table, things are going to turn real ugly from 2028 onward. The serial production of the jet with domestic engines, which can challenge the JSF out on the sky, isn't...

I don't know if that was supposed to be funny. Unlike the situation Turkey will itself in in 2030s.

1. There are a plethora of other methods to transfer funds. And that only further approximates Turkey closer to Syria, since freelancers online can't bring in foreign currency and it solidifies the image of a rogue country internationally. 2. Mind elaborating on that reason? From what I've...

If you're going to introduce external elements, the radar will have to fare against jamming, decoys like MALD, and lapses in emitting time avoiding anti-radiation munitions. I don't remember which thread but the radar's detection range was calculated against the JSF's alleged RCS. The number...

Uh huh. Meanwhile in reality, the west wing is laid bare where F-35s will be deployed in 2028. And 10+ millions of migrants may want to have a word with you. How many sleeper cells, fifth columnists, and agent provocateurs are in there, some foreign adversary could paypal 10 bucks to each of...

80 kms versus the F-35. Likely lower.

0 of the 7 points made were addressed. Oh by the way we just recently began trialling our own steel for use in armored vehicles.

No high power turboprop beyond 200HP for TB-2/Akinci, no TF-6000 or OZGUR AESA serial production in sight, no quality visuals on par with Wescam series, who knows what compromises were granted to UAE and KS for the funds, F-110's still in the gray, despite Sweden's accession which was for dead...

Afif disappoints me once challenge: impossible. He takes the words right out of my mouth everytime! Not really. F-35 IS stealthier than the F-22. As @Afif put it above. The F-22 is outdated compared to F-35 and is planned to be phased out. ..No. Diverterless supersonic inlets improve the...

F-35 has superior RCS compared to F-22. All the supposed to be 5th gen contenders like J-20 are also employing the DSI design. What was the purpose of sacrificing stealth for additional speed, when it'll be facing BVR threats on the horizon?

How much do the inlet diverters hamper the Kaan's RCS compared to a DSI design? I see /k/ users mentioning it will essentially ruin the stealth profile.

Going up against F-35I and F-15EX.. With the jet whose engine will somehow come out before 2040ies, with the economy as is, and bleeding engineers to ASML, with no partners in the project, and the specs will somehow rival that of F-22/35, despite even the US facing numerous problems along the...

If you read those open articles you'd know how advanced of a machine F-35 is. We're lucky if we can approximate the performance of an F-22 with the domestic engine in the next 20 years. China with tens of billions of dollars, industrial espionage with all the stolen data from JSF project, and an...

They did, and now it's history. It's 2023 right now, Russian doctrine is outdated and would crumble in a conflict against any of the modern NATO militaries. Current Russian SAM networks, all of them, could easily be detected and struck or jammed by the F-35, because it has an RCS of below...

"Even the Russians"? Don't use Russia as an example metric on how to design air defences, their jets' radars and EW suites are inferior and have zero stealth characteristics. The SU-57 has a similar RCS to that of a Super Hornet. Modern SAM systems are vulnerable to stealth platforms. Someone...
