Incidents like this dont help

It is also not nice to make enemies of Algeria. They have a competent army, they can shoot down drones easily. They are going to receive Su57 this year. It is a country we should build better relations with.

About 8000 kg of fuel then, similar to F22 and F35 probably. Which means rather short radius with 2 engines. I was hoping for more

If it's actually possible, might as well honestly

Hmm but can the the diploma cancellation and its timing coinciding be explained by CHP infighting as well? Dunno

Yeah likely aselpod instead

100-150 KAAN + 40 EF + 40 F35 + 150 F16( imagining some will retire) by 2040 is a good mix with some variety with 300+ active fighters

Remember detection distance is related to rcs, so a larger target may be detected and tracked from a longer distance, but if here it is between 40 and 80nm this means a target from 100km+

Pure democracy is pointless. Most successful regimes around the world are more hybrid, some combination of democracy, oligarchy, aristocracy, bureacratic institutions and such. We use democracy as a word because its simpler for people who don't know anything about politics, but pure democracy...

It is a wise choice for them to abandon eurodone, perhaps

EF and Rafale are relevant anf effective against 4.5 - 4th gen fighters and Su57, sure. But not J20 or J35 etc. Plus Algeria is getting Su57 and Pakistan is getting FC31(j35?)... so the competition is definitely starting to increase.

Funny enough the country that would benefit most from KAAN in eu could be France. Being probably the largest force in EU its the one that wont have a stealth fighter for next 15 years. Also spain could be, but they will need F35B at some point I think.

Russian air force f35

Russian F35 would be a sight to behold. Russia - US alliance against china, we are living in video game chaos world at this point. Is this the end of civilization I wonder?

Ok but what if next article is "US refuses to supply parts to Norway's F35 fleet"? Would be funny if european F35 user nations suddenly bought rafales or eurofighter

Maybe because F16 are all owned by military, but akinci prototypes are privately owned. Baykar is advertising products jointly with aselsan, why would army advertise its foreign bought inventory?
