Yeah, Israel has good relations with China, but unlike the US, Israel doesn't control the Chinese state and society through trade, espionage, and infiltration. I think Israel will dump the US fast if China rises as the clear winner of the great power competition, but I doubt that because we are...

Oh, believe me, it will light a yuuugee green light.

Intercept rate is highly debatable. Israel typically launches multiple interceptors (usually two) per engagement. This is probably the success of the engagement, not the missile itself.

As far as I undestand, we asked for too much offset deals if we get more share in production of the fighter, the Germans will get less.

No, you can't destroy a 40-50k thousand population neighbourhood with a meagre 1.5-ton warhead. In fact, even MOAB can't destroy a 40-50,000 neighbourhood. You can't destroy an airbase. If it falls in an empty space won't damage anything if it falls on a hangar, even a small tactical missile can...

I disagree. Those things are not "sensitive". Those terms can be negotiated and resolved at the negotiation table; nothing "sensitive" there. He doesn't know how defense deals work Production demanded ( most likely offset production negotiations) Full access, what does full access even mean...

Yes, you remember it correctly, and that hasn't changed. In fact, the TAI CEO's mention of early tests in (by the end of) 2026 is confirmation of that. We announced here that early tests might start in 2026, when no other forum or news outlet reported. Increased interest in KAAN project also...

I expect Iran to capitulate and accept to dismantle its nuclear program and long-range ballistic missile production to save the regime.

Erdogan should STFU, stop investing in stupid projects like Canal Istanbul and useless infrastructure projects that his cronies build, and divert funds to the defense industry.

Jewish lobby blocks the EF deal, and there is no solution to that. Germany is a vassal of the US/Israel.

The US will offer F-47 to very close allies. Trump already announced that. There will be an export version with slightly reduced capabilities. Israel will get it to counter Kaan, and Japan will get it to counter China. I don't think GCAP will fail, but there will be a lot of delays...

FCAS will die. Germany and Spain will leave the program, and France will continue FCAS alone. Germany wants %50-50 partnership while France wants Germany to be a sidekick. I won't be surprised if Spain gets Kaan after Hurjet. GCAP will also see major delays. The US will offer Japan F-55 and F-47.

I would expect something like this from the Joos.

I heard Saudis are one step ahead, and they want up to 100 Kaans, but those negotiations are like football transfers. News started to circulate, i think the engine team reached a big milestone and possible customers are mostly convinced about the engine.

Yeah, it will be like 2 blind man fighting each other. It will be even worse for the 6th generation as they will be stealthier with tailles designs and wide spectrum stealth. Sensors like IRST and low frequency/dual frequency radars will be more important. Also, sensor fusion and advanced MUM-T...

It is not a typo. It is a slightly different version of Murad-100A.

If Iran has any secret weapons, any nukes, etc. It is about time to use them. Words are meaningless. I don't think Mullahs can walk away from this with words unless they capitulate.

That is right. It is against a fighter-sized target (1 square meter RCS). We discussed it widely in this forum in the past, and he is talking about Murad-100A; Murad-600A will be different. We know the range of the Murad-100A because it is in flight testing, and Aselsan and platform producers...

Jamming operations started in the Persian Gulf; it might be a precursor to something. Iran is running out of time.
