That's not even physically possible due to heisenberg uncertainty principle but i digress

China will gobble that market soon then

No one is inviting us to GCAP or Tempest that I know of

Lots of mechanical complexity and will probably increase the radar reflectivity if anything at the joint

Well there are shipbuilders around, but essentially industry, trade routes, large ports, education for naval engineering and naval officers or sailors must be aligned in one place to make it sustainable. Mersin and İzmir Alaybey are good canditates for growth and there are some plans about them...

Unless they have MIRV, then they make a very ctedible threat to modern air defenses at least.

Çok şükürkuş, finally

Eurofighter is known to be more expensive though, and even more expensive to non consortium members, it is a very high end capability, whereas F16 with FMS and very large production numbers to date, is going to be much cheaper.

Didn't watch yet but yeah, makes a lot of sense since we will also have EF soon likely

Spain can't really afford to buy FCAS, more eurofighters and also replace the harriers with F35B at once. But FCAS won't materialize before 2040, it is a weird position for them. I think they probably will buy F35B though, even if they care about local industry more than others( they still have...

Pointless if the war doesn't end, so I guess they are sure it is about to end, and want to use their yet ongoing stream of financial support for weapons to lay foundations of a navy they have to rebuild. 4 Ada class, more usvs and some small submarines would provide them some safety and defense...

This is a pipedream but would be cool if we built two carriers together one for spain and one for us and worked together on naval hurjet

Beyazıt karataş is retired air force general and F16 pilot so he must know a thing or two

Well I think we will do fine, but F-35 can be combined with all the capabilities of aegis ship and all the US satellites, uavs etc. as well. Near our borders we should have pretty good coverage from all sort of stuff like HAKIM and what not, and the actual sensors we can put on KAAN i am...

If KAAN can match F35 level of speed and agility thats sufficient for us. In fact at this stage being able to reach F35 for any given cabability is more than enough for us. If we have any extras that's nice to have, but not necessary.

I had also heard that they've foregone 4-5k design for more istifs and tf2000 instead

You frequent here so I thought you would know, anyways 3 ships in construction and 4 more to follow for istifs, and TF2000 has gone through a lot of design iterations but we have been hearing any day now for the finalisation of design and start of construction

Which region will be in FSA control? Wait didn't FSA dissolve into SNA? How is sdf going to dissolve into it, how is Turkey going to support something SDF has dissolved into?

second gökbey delivery

Doesnt align with body? Because they figured it will hurt the tail due to high heat and decided to install it sideways?
