    seawolf class was going to be too expensive and oriented towards soviet sub interception (i.e not an all-rounder SSN/SSGN)....so it didnt make sense for USN to continue them after the soviet collapse. but nice to see virginia class keep that coning tower "front" hydrodynamic seawolf...

    Military Operations Syria

    a) Footage from independence day speech (not a rally) b) AI audio inserted to make the whole thing fake c) Indian official response to this so called alliance has been kept to a muted foreign affairs ministry response. No one important, much less the PM...has made any reply to it anywhere. We...

    It amounts to the same thing. i.e If proper frame of reference is used (i.e cruise flight, rather than say ground). i.e same flow coupling mode requirement..... that pushes the canards to have more dihedral the closer they come to or get in line with the wing plane....and also for the aircraft...

    Always higher, as you need flow to remain attached as long as possible as angle of attack increases.

    Yes this is the underlying reason the investment ratio is so low so long. There is not sufficient trust developed between Pakistani people with the Pakistani "political system" internally. Without investment ratio high enough, you become/stay reliant on external events and external...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    From: https://jdlindustries.com/collections/mil-prf-23377-epoxy-primers I guess some of the "yellow" and "chrome-free" primers end up looking whitish or some kind of white beige (also depending on the final topcoat layer that might not be perfectly colourless/transparent). I'd like to clarify...

    a) If they (MOD) work something out with the Russians regd the Il-276 at this stage which has been lukewarm process at best given India prefers western powerplant, ongoing production etc. But I guess to have a reference quote for pro/con analysis can help with both analysing and negotiating the...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Colour can be literally anything. Depends on the layup fibers/matrix dye...one or both can be hot pink if you want it....but that kind of thing would look unprofessional and probably needs some extra calibration when testing EO/IR signatures without RAM application etc. Have Blue (nighthawk)...
