I don't see how the shape of Kaans canopy is radically different or worse than F35 or F22 for stealth, but maybe someone else knows?

Huh yeah, should get that eye surgery soon. Though I did see multiple people on twitter saying that as well, weird.

Im told its IHI XF5, not sure

just remember AMCA but it didnt fly yet so

First 5th gen fighter project with a GE engine too as far as i know so its good advertisement for them although its only for first batch

Would be welcome news. Azerbaijan strengthening and modernizing their air force is good. Wish we could have our jets ready so we could sell to our allies as well. I see this as an opportunity to integrate these planes with our systems and more of our payloads as well. Interoperability of all 3...

But did it use full afterburner

You can see a good number of changed parts and removed placeholders from earlier.

I am looking side by side, can't quite tell

I know him to be trustworthy but that's just as big news as KAAN, so I can't wonder if its more of a wish than concrete info

"Yasak çekmeyin"

They weren't joking when they said stabilators being same size as F16 main wing

Looks smooth

Did it or are you guys expressing your wish? Ok it seems it did

Normally F18 should have 140 kVA total, unless pods have extra power source

Shortly: With technological advancements, the S band radars that were only previously meant for early warning against air breathing targets will now be used also for guidance of anti air missiles. Furthermore there will only be a single x band radar against surface targets. The radars will be...

I don't get the big deal, processing power and software should be able to handle it. Not to say its trivial, but that it has precedence.

But it is an AESA radar so you can allocate a fixed or dynamic ratio of modules for scan vs illumination and have an overall larger multi purpose radar than have multiple small ones. The rest is programming.

I mean AN SPY 1 is also S band and Arleigh Burke doesn't have big X-band radar, neither does Istif or FREMM( S or C), or Type45( L and S band) so why can't we do it without X band primary radar?

12 separate radars was too much after all. A more cost efficient solution is gonna make life easier.
