I think you misunderstood what I meant. Why not build the GE prototype now and test the shit out of it. Instead of waiting and building them at the same time and test them out at the same time. At least that's what I understood they would do.
Why would they wait with conducting tests at the same time? One engine is known and has a proven track record, another is new unproven. Isn't it better to test the shit out of KAAN with the GE engine and find out what it's capable of than try to do it at the same time ? You'd have time to test...
I believe the sales contract of KAAN is worse than T129 to Pakistan. I feel sorry for Indonesia, they should have gone with F16 or EF. But if they can use the deal to get better offers from others I hope they will get them.
Is it possible to cross radar waves at distance to lower/raise the band to see if anything bounces of it. I mean like waves moving in and out at different wavelength that makes it difficult to avoid ?
I do not believe Portugal is going to be jumping on the cheap ADA class solutions or Istif. Please look at the country's location and you'll realize that it's different kind of sea than Med. Sea. If there is a 4-6k ton Frigate design out there that they can use they'll get that.
Don't we already have companies involved in those projects ?
I think someone pointed out that all these mini R&D were excuses to get their fingers on money and yandas seems a favorite.
Well, if prof. Aksit said it so many years ago and it wasn't done. It's either corruption at government level or because of corruption.
I would have said because of not enough engineers, but if the economy is crap. Then people need to watch out for themselves.
Why would you compare our delays in projects from countries that actually has produced hundreds of fighterjets ?
That doesn'r make sense. SSB is losing credibility by talking with his göt.
Like I said many times before, Hürjet imo is more important even a LCA version of it. So not...
But isn't it because KKK and HvKK aren't as good at planning executing as DzKK ? Also, government may have embargoed those two forces because of their off the shelf purchases for so long
Great news. I was asking because I imagine PRC has many backdoors in all tech and communication devices it's selling and gather all sorts of information to be used when necessary, or even cause a blackout paralysing nations.
Yea, but the trade is beneficial for both countries. While Spain gets their trainer jet and their own avionics later on. The fact that they will use and train with our avionics means we'll get international recognition. Plus Spain gets something in return like the LHD purchase. Both parties...
