Yet I always thought David's sling was the perfect candidate for India's low tier long range AD solution instead of S400. It has like 250km+ effective range against air breathing targets. Plus hit to kill interception capability like PAC-3 against ballistic missiles which S400 lacks. Its radar...

Call me pessimistic. It is likely the guy wanted to boast about Government initiative and mistakenly called ongoing joint venture with China as JV with Turkey.

Yet we might end up with J10CE after this. Lol.

The GOAT!

Pakistan India has territorial dispute and armed conflicts. (Including the recent one.) Neither is true with Bangladesh. Hence, most of it likely stemming from anti Muslim hatred that your rulling party has been riding on.

Well, Pakistanis have their own ballistic AShM in testing. If Turkiye is going to export KAAN to friendly countries, Tayfun series does not appear to be more sensitive than this. But Turkish MoD and SSB knows better.

Bro, imho the speed at moment of Impact looks like around Mach 3.

Fantastic hit. If it has a data link, a KAAN might track an enemy ship at 200 miles away and guide this fast flying beast to the Terminal stage and swiftly leave the danger zone. A kill chain executed within minutes.

What does India want to get out of coercive measures against BD? BD building dam Inside its border for water management or procuring fighter jets to modernize armed forces does not harm India. It would be a legitimate case if we were harboring anti-India insurgencts like Pakistan allegedly do...

Bangladesh eyes J-10CE fighter jet deal as Dhaka resets foreign policy Bangladesh is expected to advance plans to acquire 24 Chinese J-10CE multi-role fighter jets during Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's visit to China beginning Monday, as Dhaka and Beijing prepare to deepen cooperation across...

I mean, Türkiye is paying little over $500 millions per Eurofighter (total package). Comparatively this isn't that big considering it would bring an squadron of homegrown 5th gen fighter into service on time and introduce most significant capability upgrade in TurAF's history.

According to this official document, Indian air force continue to operate all 36 Rafales, including the one that has been found to have its M88 engine chopped off in half at Bathinda crash site.

It is probably 150km+. Just like SIPER block 1 range was revised to 100km from 70km initially. New range for SIPER block 2 might be declared later. US solid rocket motor tech still ahead of everyone. Hence SM series has really good performance.

All of these are validating. But we know Turkish AD interceptors can do this with subsonic targets since 2020 with dozens successful of tests. It's time to test and validate them against Mach 2 target rounds in real scenarios.

Do we know what target round was used to mimic MRBM characteristics? Also, I wonder how much deployment of these interceptors would upset the balance of power and render Pak strategic nuclear delivery systems (Shaheen-3/Ababeel) and overall capacity ineffective?

Me too

When first AMCA prototype is flying and infra+experience is already there, wouldn't it make more sense to start indigenously design a 6th gen platform from early 2030s and induct it in late 2040s. From US and China's experience, it seems, 6th gen programs are running relatively smoothly...

Bangladesh, Turkiye to form minister-level joint committee on defence, foreign affairs https://share.google/BR7tEOETdIbdQ44Bc Not sure how this would function. But up to a good start I suppose. This is the highest level joint body we could get. Presiding over them only heads of states...

Very interesting. I wonder what it could be?
