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...

I posted reply here originally, but I dont want to stray off topic. Can continue convo on this here: https://defencehub.live/threads/indian-coffee-house-news-politics-chit-chat-debate.8382/page-75#post-229614

It is actually very shockingly simple to explain. Talent+aptitude+competence vis a vis "bureaucracy" are nearly entirely disjointed sets in India for most things as you go up the ladder of organisation and control. It gets especially worse in defence sector especially given this is old boys club...

+1 . Fun to read some of the replies on this thread though lol.

No anger here from my end my friend, and no I do not think you are "an idiot". I just think TF-X is (aerodynamically and structurally) a clean sheet design from what I can see and it will have its solutions others in same 5th generation have found as well. The spaced double engine approach is...

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...

Sure. But even without afterburner, the (dry) thrust of GTX 37-14U doubled from orpheus. So obviously there was some exit velocity (and average throughput velocity) increase (at every thrust setting) that would precipitate design changes in the inlet, compressor and combustor inlet vanes (past...

It is getting off topic (this is TR geopolitics thread) so this will be my last post on this matter here, but I disagree. It is demand and supply in the end (and what basis, absolute threadbare requirements and elasticities a country has for those in the end). Countries can (and often do)...

Orpheus was not "reverse-engineered", it was too weak to power the next gen of aircraft that were already appearing and that India had to stay in touch with. The Marut experience would further solidify this reality. The GTX 37-14U (India's first aviation axial gas turbine) was at least twice as...

Of the roughly 66 billion USD Pakistan earned from the world in 2021 (exports and remittance combined in current account), China provided maybe 3 billion of it. i.e about 5% of the total. So I don't think so, especially given what I already mentioned in the new global economic setting of vast...
