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.

The US is expected to launch an air campaign on Iran in the next 48 hours. Some EU countries might also join the operation.

For Iran, it is either unconditional surrender or carpet bombing with B-52s. BTW, Israel is hitting defenses in Kirmanshah really hard; that city has a big Kurdish population. IMHO, Israel wants to trigger something.

Let the US taxpayers think that. Israel claims to have killed the new chief of staff of the Islamic Republic of Iran Armed Forces

Trump slammed Macron https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/trump-denies-leaving-g7-iran-israel-truce-slams-macron It feels like something big is brewing, and not much time is left before it happens unless Iran capitulates at the last minute.

Israel is having trouble penetrating underground nuclear facilities and ballistic missile facilities. Israel notified the US that Israel might be forced to deploy tactical nuclear weapons against those targets unless Iran backs down and accepts the demands of Israel or America provides access to...
