$333m to be precise. I'm sure India is interested in gaining the experience of manufacturing (to apply it to domestic developments), although they did manufacture the flanker previously.
He says also a missile fell on their base, a small one with a large explosion, so fast it was visible just for a moment but even the radar could not engage it.
People usually underestimate Turkish efforts simply because they're relatively new contenders among modern fighter aircraft developers, but there's an incredible amount of painstaking work underway within their MIC, building upon a far from insignificant foundation of experience and capability.
The only "other popular military aviation forum (wink)" I know of is pdf..People usually underestimate Turkish efforts simply because they're relatively new contenders among modern fighter aircraft developers, but there's an incredible amount of painstaking work underway within their MIC, building upon a far from insignificant foundation of experience and capability.
As a self-proclaimed realist and a long-time military aviation and Turkish MIC observer, I can say with confidence that Baykar's Kizilelma fighter drone alone, which is being developed iteratively, already has enough RCS treatment to be a highly competitive LO contender among existing stealth fighter designs (say, the Su-57, for example!). It already comes equipped with an F-16-grade GaN radar, IRST and EOTS, a sizable IWB, conformal antennas all-around, and an integrated EW suite (although the nose cannot accommodate both the radar and IRST simultaneously - it's either radar + EOTS or IRST + EOTS).
--Admittedly, the panel-gap tolerances on the Kizilelma prototypes could be a bit better, but they're still only producing the initial LRIP aircraft.--
OTOH, Kaan's P1 (which is a far more serious product than any other Turkish stealth aircraft) incorporates every treatment found on the F-35, F-22, J-20/35, etc. that makes them S-tier 5th-generation LO platforms (minus the application of RAM, for now).
On the optical sensor side, Kaan actually has a very strong chance of being simply better equipped than these aircraft (LWIR IRST + MWIR EOTS + DAS) when it enters service. While the J-20A is highly likely to already field a GaN-on-SiC radar, Kaan is, aside from the J-20A, actually further along with its GaN radar than the F-35 Block 4, for crying out loud...
If anyone needs proof, I recommend checking out the respective threads for these aircraft on a certain other popular military aviation forum
An F-35 costs only around USD 100 million per aircraft. Rafale and Eurofighter Typhoon are indeed the most expensive fighter jets in the world. However, if India is allowed to integrate its own air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, and guided bombs, the investment can still be justified. The French radar, mission computer, and other avionics should also eventually be replaced with indigenous Indian systems.
Pakistan fired more than 600 missiles at India, but not a single one of them managed to land inside India. Pakistan claims it did not fire cruise missiles because it did not want to climb the escalation ladder, yet India was firing BrahMos missiles across the entire length and breadth of Pakistan, striking Pakistani military bases.
you can check the satellite images of all the military bases of India which pakistan claims to have hit and also check the satellite images of 11 pakistani bases and 9 mosques hit by Indian Airforce.
Hi,
Yes,Luis Vuitton ,Hermes and Chanel are the true owners of Dassault and they price it accordingly-like twice the cost of an F35 -5Gen fighter,Wow.
Well, fighters don't really have same margins as user electronics.
