Yah Bharat Rakshak predates this twitter era "new forum" stuff that I mentioned.....so it has more seasoned and matured brigade of Indian defence watchers/analysts there. It is worthier to follow for news and analysis for sure. Here I reference some of BR discussion regarding engine development...

He is just summarising what the dailysabah media articles were saying about it...and which this thread goes into more detail about here too about the recent picture releases and project updates. i.e The overall design choices, current projected time line of development (significant dates of...

It is not uncommon to see it design philosophy wise when you have two engines The Russians/Soviets being notable in their incorporation of it....though someone correctly mentioned F-14 too, in fact I have a F-14 model sitting on my desk as I write this... You can (potentially) generate a...

Some excellent pictures. Congratulations are in order for the Turkish program thus far here. Will be interesting to continue to follow its progress in the years to come.

@Anmdt thoughts?

I dispute Russia "suddenly" wanting its empire back. They have always wanted to grow it, hold it or want the high water mark back....irredentism (of others perspective) does not factor into it. The liberalism inserted by gorby and then attempted to be continued by yeltsin (till he reversed...

The truly wise will find leading by example and setting an example yourself is the opposite of making an example out of another. The latter (no matter in rare cases it is well intended) will drift to recklessness and actually illustrates you do not believe in vitality of your own progress to...

With resources factored in, you can make a gas turbine....but it will likely be heavy and weight is premium in aviation especially. Then there are reliability issues to factor in too given a gas turbine is used extensively repeatedly compared to a rocket engine in a missile. The material...
