There are many versions of F-16 and methods to calculate the T/W ratio. If we take latest versions then F-35A would be slightly better than F-16 block 52+ and slightly worse than F-16 block 60. F-35A also beats both in wing loading. F-35A also beats both in dry T/W ratio. Chinese are probably...

F-35 TW ratio is very similar to F-16. No. F-35 has advantage in stealth, sensors and networking . It will win most of air to air fights. Thats absolutely not true. For example just recently US and Israel carried drills for F-35 in air to air roles. F-35 is excellent in this role. Drones...

Thats not serious. F-35 has much more powerful radar (1200 modules vs 840), much more powerful RWR and ECM. Much better sensor fusion and fast stealthy data transfer between each other. Plus stealth which is totally a gamechanger. The IRST detection range from front is about 50 kms in very...

Today the most important factors in warfare are networking and sensor fusion. Russia is very lagging in these matters. Plus Su-35/57 wont be compatible with Turkish F-16 and AEW&C.

We have air defence missile of same diameter missiles coming in about same time. You trying to say they are not related to each other. That would be a total waste of resources. MD-620 is 500 km range rocket with 4 nozzles. Shavit is space launcher with 1 nozzle. You claimed that Sayyad was...

Sayyad-2 is clear copy of SM-1. Sayyad-3 has same body diameter clearly prolonged version of Sayyad-2. Sayyaad-4 is enlarged Sayyad-3. All entered service about same time second half of 2010-es. Show us these tests. Something like these: I don't know why you are repeating it second...

Rearanging fins is not a big deal. Here is evolution of Russian Buk missile: BMD is the next level of air defence. They proved themselves in many tests. Your Russia is currently developing S-500 system which should be similar to US THAAD and Israel Arrow-3. Iran is nowhere close in this...

JAGM is basically a Hellfire with dual seeker:

Sayad-4 is derived from Sayad-3/2 which is derived from Standard-1. They are far far more advanced and complicated. Less than 5 countries in the world can make such systems. SAM is not a big deal nowadays. Arrow-2 is 100% Israeli design. Arrow-3 is 80-85% Israeli design. (US designed some...

Bavar is just ancient US Standard modernization. What matters today is anti ballistic and exoatmospheric capabilities. https://defencehub.live/threads/exoatmospheric-interceptor-history.1003/#post-5827 Israel has two latest generation exoatmospheric SAMs: Arrow 2 and Arrow 3. Also has most...

Mk1 and Mk2 had hydraulic turret drive, Mk3 and Mk4 - electric.

First turret drives were actually electric. But they were slow. Then hydraulic turret drives appeared which were much faster but very flammable (Sherman, Patton). Modern hydraulics are much less flammable but still better to have pure electric (which are now fast enough).

You mean with Iran? Well it will take some time, but no doubt they will. Probably they will even pay compensation to Iran.

Democrates want to make a deal with Iran at any cost. Thats why they stopped the F-35 deal with UAE.

No scoop unfortunately. https://www.calcalistech.com/ctech/articles/0,7340,L-3896111,00.html This article says East Asia (most probably South East Asia) - Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore.

Iskander M and E are two variants of same system. On the other hand Iskander K is completely different system.

There are two completely different missile systems called "Iskander": 1) Iskander M/E - ballistic missile (E - export version). 2) Iskander-K - cruise missile. Pashinyan critisized ballistic missile Iskander E. Russian MoD got butthurt and published videos as Iskander-K (completely...

Russian MOD said no Iskanders were fired during Karabakh war. But this video shows two Iskander launches:

Less expensive than Typhoon or Rafale, but offers stealth, advanced AESA radar, DAS, sensor fusion and net enabled operations.
