This was the worst year for F-35s in 2016: with this the year before: This mc from 2020, but no fmc rates: This is similar for a range of years 2014-2017: Similarly: This for other aircraft including F-22 for comparison: This from 2022: Here...

Consimiliter, I forgot to mention but a month ago my Instagram account was deleted because of a reply to an Israeli claiming they are always "victorious", to which I replied "is that you bar Kokhba?" I was reminded of it because I was trying to comment on a video of Israelis, who are blocking...

We MUST try to acquire F-35s; we must keep Kaan as a black box for everybody and hence Kaan should not join NATO exercises and missions. That should be done with the F-35s that we hopefully acquire; through acquiring F-35s we would be able to aid our air defense systems to detect and identify...

The Tik Tok ban (which effectively is a ban although not explicitly) is 100% because of the Israel lobby. There are a lot of shadowbanning and burying done on other platforms that didn't exist on Tik Tok. There was already appetite for the ban for sure, but the lobbying pressure is the reason it...

People who have worked with Korean firms do not share in this trust with you.

Interesting; I'm reading his book at the moment. I'm not a fan of the book. It's apparent that he likes simple models and likes to repeat conventional wisdom. The Kennan view of containment until problems get too large for USSR, as Nilgiri pointed out, is far from the only possible narrative but...

Ooh isn't that the million dollar question; we don't know for sure. Economists spent about 40 years insisting that they do know until enough pressure mounted on the empirical side that they silently backed off. Many haven't gotten the hint yet and still parrot their old textbooks (esp. in our...

As someone who expected and predicted a massive devaluation past election, I predict no such devaluation will happen this time as reserves are better than last time (not good but still), monetary policy has changed for the better (although fdi hasn't improved) and monetary base expansion rate...

Just want to point something out; if South Korea outsources certain subsystems to the biggest defence industry firms in the world, it's clearly not because they wouldn't be able to develop and manufacture them, but because it makes much more business sense to use tried and true stuff, get them...

It's an extremely important concept for me personally (also one that I regularly fail to implement, so I have to remind myself of its importance). Although it's like a very liberal concept, but funnily enough liberalism in the west has evolved into an outlook that is most hostile to this...

You know how our elders always say "these youngins are so smart, they grow up faster these days", because they can use phones and stuff? Well, those same phones, getting your information from 10-second instagram reels, 10 minute youtube summaries made by some high school dropout from Ohio...

Well, I think on that we can only speculate. No. 2 & 3 seems to be out of the question considering the stability of the flight and landing; and the list you provide doesn't exhaust options. The feeling I get from listening to Temel Kotil is that they have tried to fly it before a couple of times...

If load and durability tests on the ground are done already, or after they've been finished the prototype is of no other use anyway so just better get out of it what you can instead of it gathering dust. edit: and here we have official confirmation that it will continue to fly:

well why would they just fly it once? if they want to gather data, they will want to gather it in a myriad of conditions, in transonic, supersonic regimes, with and without afterburners, stall and post-stall maneuvers, different environmental conditions, and in general flight envelope expansion...

I thought the whole reason they made this prototype flight-worthy is to gather data in flight to have a more rigorous CDR phase to achieve design freeze faster later?

From William Logans and Sir Robert Harts of the world to this. And these people are stupid enough to think this level of incisiveness of intellect will help them subjugate others like their forefathers did just because they are their spawn; pfft.

not comparable imo. I think the chances of a 35,000 lb thrust domestic engine being ready in 2028 are almost zero. Maybe the core of a souped up F110 can be ready which probs would be close to 35k lb thrust (considering what was achievable with F110-GE-132), but that's the extent of it.

I don't know if it was mentioned here but Temel Kotil in his interview mentioned that there will be 7 more prototypes. https://bigpara.hurriyet.com.tr/haberler/genel-haberler/tusas-genel-muduru-kotil-kaan-dunyanin-en-hizli-biten-ucak-projesi_ID1479663/
