F-22 wing area 78 sq m MTOW 37 tonnes Kaan wing area 60 sq m MTOW 27 tonnes source : Wiki Can Kaan increase MTOW by 10 tonnes without needing a new wing?

I don't know if exporting the F119 was prohibited along with F-22. Whatever, F-22 MTOW is over 37 tonnes, so it is too powerful for use in Kaan, isn't?

https://abc7chicago.com/presidential-election-2024-age-biden-trump-polls/14414171/ Unfortunately their respective parties did not ask them to stand aside in time for other candidates to have time to establish themselves. Short of illness or in Trump's case, imprisonment, it seems likely that...

That's how Russia works - deeply, structurally corrupt. Ukraine is corrupt, too, but at least there is hope of that improving.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-68237791 Is it the doing of Putin's faithful followers? Putin's going to win whatever (having control of the media and TV), so why make the election less credible by barring other candidates?

Of course the media can affect opinions by omission. I avoid media that report selectively or place undue emphasis with the intent of shaping opinion. What exactly is your complaint? Mr Erdogan goes to Germany, reportedly in the hope that Germany will become agreeable to Turkiye buying...

What nonsense you talk. My comments about your leader were based entirely on what I heard him say ie his words, his narrative. I am open to receiving criticism but not criticism that is utterly unfounded. I suggest that you retract.

You are aware that Germany has ordered 38 Eurofighters and Spain has ordered 20, so those lines will not be shutting down in the next few years? There was debate as to whether Spain would order F-35 to replace its Hornets but it looks like they will be replaced with Eurofighters. Italy and UK...

If you read it, it is a rejection of requested anti-dumping tarriffs. No connection with the TuAF's prospects of getting F-16

Yes, it is laughable that, possibly needing to buy Eurofighter, TR's leader goes to Germany and alienates its leader, making that less possible. Full marks for displaying such diplomatic skill! PS The British probably spent years trying to unblock Eurofighter export sales to KSA. In one short...

Sure. Ukraine conducted hundreds of air and missile strikes against Russia and invaded it with armoured vehicles and tens of thousands of troops. didn't it? Or have I got that wrong?

It might be time to try undoing the damage caused to German-Turkish relations when President Erdogan last went to Germany.

An extraordinary report in defensenews... https://www.defensenews.com/air/2024/02/02/south-korea-to-start-mass-production-of-kf-21-fighter-jets/ I wonder if this is inaccurately reported or mistranslated or if there is a typo (4 jets to be built this year, not 40).

We enter the realms of absurdity here, don't we?

For decades fighter production in India has been allocated exclusively to GOI-owned HAL, depriving other Indian aerospace companies of any experience. GOI belatedly decided to involve the private sector, inviting expressions of interest in producing AMCA through the offices of a GOI/privately...

I don't know exactly what terms Turkiye wanted that ROK did not want to offer and vice versa. I don't know what terms Indonesia agreed with ROK but it was clear that Indonesia agreed to pay 20% of the development cost of the K-FX/I-FX project. It is also clear that Indonesia has not done that...

My interest is in Indonesian aviation in respect of its involvement in the KF-X/I--FX programme.. In common with several other countries I am confident that Indonesia will strengthen economically vis a vis the more established economies and those more established economies will undoubtedly try...

I don't have any interest in conspiracy theory. If I did, I might say that ROK set up an Indonesian engineer to smuggle some data out of the plant. Why? So they could catch an Indonesian committing a security breach, giving ROK an excuse to end the partnership. It has already been asked how this...

Sorry. I don't speak your language, so I cannot read your source. How much did you invest in setting up to assemble KF-21? How far did you get? I'm just curious.

Interesting to hear that Indonesia did not invest in domestic production. Sounds like the deal is dead. I imagine that ROK is talking to Poland (which has shown interest in joining the project) about replacing Indonesia.
