Second part is alr, that's definitely correct, but there is no possibility of F-15EX having low levels of RCS, exposed fan blades, no canopy coating, no geometry etc. Main problem is those fan blades that are directly exposed to enemy radars

And also another thing to note, none of the officials mentioned DAS to function as IRST, we just know that it is specified for detecting stuff in close range or detecting very hot stuff from far, also how tf are you supposed to use that for A2A without a normal IRST stabilisation, (look at...

Hmm, so they improved it to 30dB in those 4 years? Noice

If you want long range IRST that gets effected less by weather, you need LWIR. Using 2 or more seekers would mean the sensor suite would get bigger, there is no IRST for F-35 except EOTS for shorter range and a limited axis. And yeah if you make that DAS suite to accommodate different...

DAS is not optimized for IRST tho, it is 360° short-mid range system for MWS. LWIR is better than MWIR for IRST

And what? Score hits from what range? In which environment, claims like those are not so healthy. Yes i didn't, but if you know what range the radar detects a Xm² target, then you can calculate the others, i took AN/APG-81's claimed stat for F-15EX, 1m² from 150km

if the KE is armed it doesn't go below 1, you don't take full fuel load everytime. And comparing a 3x sized fighter and it's capacity to KE is, ridiculous. Literally radar range formula (with ofc not changing some parameters because we couldn't otherwise) but in general if you want 1/2...

The problem is you kind of doing it wrong, essentially your idea is correct but arguements are not.

Uh you can look into wing, inlet, LEX, vertical stab, body shape and so to determine if the aircraft is made for agility or something else. As i said before thrust by itself is not meaningless, and especially when you in BVR combat, tho yes being higher and faster gives you a range advantage...

Exactly

And that's what i am saying, they have different aerodynamics, but you tried to dodge that, especially by giving example of AMX. Again, you are wrong, even if you take 31ton or 38 ton, F-15EX and KE end up with similar TWR, An estimate which doesn't account RAM, RAS, not even a model of the...

You seem to lose it, how can you compare AMX to KE, they have completely different aerodynamics, cmon man Another thing you forget is fuel, you cannot just add weapons' weight and call it operational or so. Another thing you lose is stealth has the edge over the radars.

F-35 has 2x80kVA generators, F-16 has 60kVA Case closed EF for example (as it is the one with most advanced avionics from the Europeans) can use both the pods and radar, think of it like F-35 barracuda and APG-81 I am not really comparing, just answering. F-15 would lose much with equipping...

Yeah that part also got me :D

Yes, iirc with a different mode it can reach 117

Well in todays world Link-16 transfer rate is not enough, so that's why we are developing our own stuff

They are subject to US export licenses, if TurAF wants it they might try to get those, other than that we have our own links and more that are underway (one of the most important is ASELSAN IVDL)

Like wtf man, F-35 can't even generate 3xF-16, And as i said before, engine performance is important because of the loss of performance from the shaft after you get energy from it, BUT after a level it doesn't mean much, you can get (and they did) 1MW from a SINGLE F110 (and lost only 1.5k...

I guess so

i think yes it will be, Baykar needs money and they get it from exports
