No, Iran has an enormous secular youth that is on the brink of boiling point, and they have no love for the theocratic regime.

That is what i meant if Iran doesn't act know it will disintegrate. Just assume you have a bully problem, and he is the real deal, double your size etc. If you got into a fight, you will likely get a beating. You can't just stand down and talk your way at some point if he comes at you have to...

Yes, I also said that I don't expect much, but regardless, we are past that preparation bridge. Iran should act. Running away doesn't make you free. At some point, you have to fight the war even if you know you will lose.

Even Hamas fought back as much as they could. İran can't just wait and see this time. Iran will cease to exist as a viable state if Iran does nothing. Can they succeed? I don't think so. Should they act with everything they have? Yes, they should.

What is Iran supposed to do, wait? Iran should do everything in its power and hope for the best. Iran can start with loading missiles with real warheads instead of dummies this time.

We are not an urgent threat like Iran, but we are next in line; that much is certain. So why not? This is a low-stakes bet for Israel. I don't expect a direct strike on Turkish land because Turkiye is a NATO country but If Israel attacks Turkish bases in Syria or say Somalia everyone will turn a...

Long-range cruise, ballistic missiles, and UAVs. A shit ton of them. Also, Hezbollah and Iranian proxies need to create a diversion with short-range UAVs and rockets. Israel masses its air force in several big airbases. Replacing fighters and air force infrastructure is not easy, especially when...

Iran needs to reduce Israeli air capability; otherwise, this won't end well for them.

There is no backing down now. It is reported that the chief of staff of IRIAF is likely dead.

As I said before, sensors of Kaan will be ready in time for the second prototype of Kaan. Murad-600, Toygun, Karat, IVDL and Tulgar will be integrated on the Kaan prototype in 2026. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/kaanin-radari-aselsan-murad-600de-son-durum/

Kaan is the main target for Indonesia, but they want to reduce the risks associated with the Kaan project, which is why they wanted Kaan with a national engine. BTW, T+0 of the project will start with the flight of the second prototype. The first delivery in the 84th month and the final delivery...

Tolga Özbek reported a timeline similar to mine. What I heard is that TAI will deliver the first fighter in the 84th month and will deliver all 48 fighters before the 120th month (48 fighter in 36 months, TAI wants to complete deliveries ahead of schedule before the 120th month) . Indonesia...

Holy crap that is so different from what i heard.

This is not news. TAI wants to do the first flight of the first second prototype just before 2025 ends in a similar fashion to the first prototype(they still can), but a more realistic date is January to March. This has always been the case. December to January is 1 month, December to March is...

All 48 Indonesian Kaans will be delivered in 120 months (June 2035) . Indonesia also has an option for +12 fighters. TAI plans to deliver the last fighter in 2034 before the official deadline. All Indonesian fighters will have a national turbofan engine and all the fighters will have block 30...

It is operated at %80 of the thrust most of the cruise phase to sustain the cruise speed. Only acceleration and final terminal approach uses the full 3200 N thrust. At %80 thrust fuel consumption value is different. I might be wrong on 271 kg due to it being hearsay(i heard from someone in the...

KTJ 3200 has a service life of 17 hours and consumes roughly 271 kg of fuel per hour at max thrust. SOM uses JP-10 fuel with a density of 0.94 g/cm^3. 271 kg of JP-10 fuel needs a volume of 288 liters. This is a problem as SOM is 4 meters long and you need something like 200cm x 40cm x 38cm...

The best part of this test is the hot stage separation. 200km altitude is trivial.

It is not just the engine. There is extensive nationalization of components.

I hope the Azerbaijan deal includes Turkish weapons and subsystems.
