You are very well informed about jet engines by all accounts. How long would you guess it would take for India to realise a 50kN dry and 75kN wet thrust engine for Tejas MK1A?

Where Tejas is concerned, you paint a rosy picture of a programme that has been riddled with setbacks and failures, now finally delivering a quarter of a century late. We are where we are - on the brink of the Tejas programme producing tangible results. I say that because I see the Tejas Mk1...

I thought it was the operational cost that was the killer. However. if Switzerland decides it no longer wants to buy F-35 and increased prices give it an opportunity to halt its F-35 programme, let it exercise its choice.

I can see Ukraine buying Kaan in the next decade with the TF35000 engine. I see used Gripen C from Sweden coming first. Sweden has about 100 C/D in service which I think will gradually reduce to 60 as Gripen E numbers build up. South Africa for Kaan? Last time I read about its Gripen fleet, it...

https://theprint.in/defence/ahead-of-crucial-amca-meet-private-companies-flag-heavy-tilt-in-hals-favour/2678566/ I would say that the current Tejas programmes are in the state they are in partly because of less than dynamic leadership from the government down. Excluding talent is not a good...

You say 500 KAAN sales. How do you come up with that number rather than 400 or 300? Who do you think will buy and in what numbers? Like you I think there may be Muslim states that will be attracted to buy KAAN. Very importantly, too, if a Turkish engine is used, it removes the problem of the US...

Will add years of delay.

It will no doubt be very expensive. However if the partners were to order standard aircraft (perhaps 350+) production cost might be more reasonable. If Canada ordered some, too, even better.

Sorry. This works for me: https://www.defesanet.com.br/aviacao/suspencao-da-producao-do-caca-eurofighter-typhoon-no-reino-unido/ + https://www.ft.com/content/a5646859-4818-4abc-b4c4-5c3d5a1d9f2e

I must have quoted hundreds of items of data from respected sources on this thread. You may tell me Russia is not losing, as you have told me many times before,in this case economy GDP or whatever else doesnt matter.Russia can go on for a decade. Give me data to support your assertion. From the...

I hope the war of attrition continues. >20 trillion USD GDP on one side versus <3 trillion USD GDP on the other. I think the evidence shows which side is winning, which is losing. Keep up the good work squeezing the life out of your economy and finances, Putin!

Is it worth setting up assembly (not production) for 40?

To me the future looks difficult for the German military aviation industry. Where would it go on its own?

They are not.

I was talking about north European people. Most European governments, too, do not like dictators. Think Eurofighter. Did Turkiye request it and get a positive response? If not, why not?

Sounds like the best risk reduction move is to get that order for Eurofighter through. Turkiye can add more if US blocks KAAN engine supply or TF35000 looks likely to be much delayed. US is no longer Europe's friend or ally, so if Trump tries to stop Eurofighter supply to Turkiye, Europe may...

Rüstungsindustrie: Eurofighter-Export an die Türkei steht kurz vor Zustimmung Die Ampel-Regierung hatte den von Großbritannien geplanten Kampfjet-Export an Ankara noch blockiert. Die Regierung unter Kanzler Merz will dem Geschäft nun offenbar nicht mehr im Weg stehen. "Eurofighter export to...

In its quest for funds, Russia has a new tactic - seize companies that are not 100% Russian owned. Some rich Russians with dual nationality (I guess for tax reasons) are falling victim to this new tactic. Is this risky? I imagine that some of the rich oligarchs have dual citizenship for tax...

Given the government's lack of funds, I am mystified why the central bank does not push the value of the ruble down - unless inflation is higher than the published rate. Lower ruble value = more rubles received by the government per barrel of crude sold in USD. Lower ruble value = more expensive...
