Would be welcome news. Azerbaijan strengthening and modernizing their air force is good. Wish we could have our jets ready so we could sell to our allies as well. I see this as an opportunity to integrate these planes with our systems and more of our payloads as well. Interoperability of all 3...

But did it use full afterburner

You can see a good number of changed parts and removed placeholders from earlier.

I am looking side by side, can't quite tell

I know him to be trustworthy but that's just as big news as KAAN, so I can't wonder if its more of a wish than concrete info

"Yasak çekmeyin"

They weren't joking when they said stabilators being same size as F16 main wing

Looks smooth

Did it or are you guys expressing your wish? Ok it seems it did

Normally F18 should have 140 kVA total, unless pods have extra power source

Shortly: With technological advancements, the S band radars that were only previously meant for early warning against air breathing targets will now be used also for guidance of anti air missiles. Furthermore there will only be a single x band radar against surface targets. The radars will be...

I don't get the big deal, processing power and software should be able to handle it. Not to say its trivial, but that it has precedence.

But it is an AESA radar so you can allocate a fixed or dynamic ratio of modules for scan vs illumination and have an overall larger multi purpose radar than have multiple small ones. The rest is programming.

I mean AN SPY 1 is also S band and Arleigh Burke doesn't have big X-band radar, neither does Istif or FREMM( S or C), or Type45( L and S band) so why can't we do it without X band primary radar?

12 separate radars was too much after all. A more cost efficient solution is gonna make life easier.

Link please?

A KAANtdown if you will

You can strike strategic targets but a country with such a reactor will likely have sufficient defenses and nukes, and nuclear reactors won't explode like a bomb, more like chernobyl. And attack on nuclear facility will be considered nuclear war so they will be justified to strike you back.

Designing around more stuff we don't have...

Some of the things you need for a naval fighter: Stronger body, larger and stronger landing gear, lower stall speed, higher stability at low speeds ( which probably requires reimagining the wings entirely, arrestor hook, some specialized avionics for ship approach, folding wings, corrosion...
