These claims don't mean anything unless there's visual proof or they're confirmed by the other side. Don't these look a bit off? The incoming missiles should look bright in the sky due to atmospheric heating. I only see the Iranian AD projectiles. You can clearly see the Iranian missiles...

Israel declares war on Iran And this is Iran's response

we're going in circles. That post simply says the first delivery will begin in 11-12 years. It does not provide any rationale for the seemingly late deliveries. That was the origin of my speculation in the first place.

What does ready mean in this context? is it the first firing of the engine? is it the first flight? is it the LRIP? or is it the serial production? Do you actually have this information, or is it speculation?

I know. I wrote "KAAN's export" explicitly. KAAN being a true 5th gen is contingent on the Turkish engine. If the engine is not ready for Indonesians by that date, it won't be ready for us either.

If the bottleneck is the availability of a Turkish engine and that sets the first delivery date of KAAN's export to 2036, then it's not good news for us either.

test flights of KAAN will begin next year, not this year. 1:40

You should put it on a server. That could be incredibly useful for people who don't wanna dig up hundreds of pages to gather only the official news or substantiated claims. You could list all the platform specific progress, chronologically. Is that WordPress?

ok I totally forgot about this. so it's been flying two and a half years now without much expansion of the flight envelope. also, in the footage it has no landing gear bay doors for the main gears, much like AKINCI. That needs to change if we're aiming for stealth and supersonic flight.

it's the fourth prototype and they still have no functioning landing gear mechanism to fold them in. they can't push the envelope when the legs are dangling below.

The origin of the news for context https://www.aa.com.tr/tr/ekonomi/tusas-genel-muduru-mehmet-demiroglu-sirketin-10-yillik-planlarini-anlatti/3578042 "Bizim önümüzde 2034'e kadar ne var diye baktığımızda, yaklaşık 500 KAAN, HÜRJET ve HÜRKUŞ üretimi var. 350'nin üzerinde GÖKBEY, ATAK, ATAK-2 ve...

It would require roughly 190 km^2. So 14km by 14 km is what you pay for national security. Chernobyl's nuclear exclusion zone was 2600 km^2. It would take a one oopsie from a trigger-happy Putin if we were headbutting with the bear.

I made a back of the envelope calculation and crunched some number to better understand the comparative cost situation of the power plant. According to Wiki, for 15 years, we are obliged to buy 70% of the electricity produced by the first two reactors and 30% of the electricity produced by the...

yes. it's 100% Russian, it will indefinitely be Russian. And the electricity we buy won't be cheap.

is this the first time a drone making ab assisted take-off, ever?
