Does it being on NCMS mean its gonna be license built? I hope not tbh

I mean this doesn't mean S80 is true, but we have been speculating about working with Navantia for MILDEN especially where AIP is involved for a while.

You don't have to transfer all data just put the computer on Akıncı and use remote console

The answer is clear: "You will be compensated upon delivery"

Ground platforms are the ones I understand the least. Does anyone have a good video or analysis about current state? Also what's the current status on YN ZMA and Leo 2 modernization?

AFAIK wing radars are supposed to be L band on KAAN like SU57 supposedly has, to detect stealth fighters which have most significant return at that band.

FYI "japs" is a slur.

I mean Tempest looks like KAAN a bit, if you didn't notice, especially newer concepts

Well they have B21, and honestly, if they wanted it they could turn it into a mean A2A platform as well.

Maybe it includes buildings that didn't collapse but just become unuseable? Either way doubt its the exact number.

South Korea is investing $ 470 billion on chip manufacturing for a reason.

Japan and Korea? They know better. Actually Korea seems to have given deficit this year after 31 years. Japan also has deficit but small

Do you really need KAAN for operations on terror?

KAAN is a really big and really sophisticated platform. It won't be cheap. Even the fuel consumption would be double that of F16, and that adds up to several hundred million usd a year.

Eurofighter has superior characteristics to F16 in certain ways rather than different roles, but being a twin engine, high thrust to weight ratio fighter should make it particularly good for A2A. Plus Tranche 4 is supposed to have real modern radar and avionics.

MPAC is a tiny ship. Even our larger ships are pretty narrow.

Don't forget traditional IRST is one thing but DAS and sensor fusion of F35 is an unknown quantity.

Yes but my point is its still a valid option over VLS, even brand new Ford class use it rather than some other solution. And to be fair, Göksur is like a hybrid between this and RAM, like a ram that launches sea sparrows, even has the same conversion from short range A2A missile lineage

Turbine engines generate huge amounts of power. Lets say you took F135 and converted one into an electricity generator. It would be around 20 mW I think. But obviously it wouldn't fly then. Its currently generating 160kW and they are thinking of increasing it to 400. Imagine a 6th gen fighter...

You don't need vls for everything. You can have bespoke launchers for smaller air defense missiles that you can fit more of. US uses angled ESSM launchers on their carriers as well for instance. VLS are, as I understand, more fore standardization to use a variety of missiles, which is more...
