Indeed. I could not have explained it any better. In any situation that can develop over the eastern mediterranean, or against countries like Greece, Cyprus, Israel or Egypt the F-35 would simply not be available to Turkey.
An important question that many people don't seem to consider here is this: Why did Turkey risk losing F-35s over the S-400s?
Even more importantly: Turkey has multiple air defence programs going on, and they are likely to produce good results in the next 5-10 years. Turkey is also...
Turkey has got what it needed the most from the F-35 program. Turkish suppliers have set up R&D teams, developed new subsystems and advanced their technologies to the next level. Sure, their investment in production lines may have to be written off now as a loss, and a few billions worth sales...
Thank you madam. Appreciate your to-the-point reply. I'm interested in the IRST story because of the danger stand-off jamming poses in terms of degrading the JF-17's radar detection/tracking ranges. Hopefully the PAF would have had a taste of things to come during the February event.
I would have expected a better reply from you. EU/US/RUS may not sell but China and Turkey have already fielded or are developing such systems.
1. IRST: China has developed multiple domestic IRSTs. These are deployed on J-16s, J-15s, J-10B/Cs and they have also demonstrated such systems for...
I have said it before and I will say it again. For Pakistan the best air defence system to procure is the Russian S-350 Vityaz. With 12 missiles of 120km range per launch vehicle, the Vityaz is probably the best 100 km class SAM system in the world.
Pakistan is mountainous, and radar horizon...
I would appreciate if you could give us your opinion on the following for the Block 3:
1. Any chance of IRST showing up on the Block 3? I mean an air-to-air sensor like the Eurofighter's PIRATE and Su-35's OLS-35 and not a targeting pod like the Sniper.
2. Any chance of Towed IR/Radar Decoys...
Okay let me write in simpler language for you. If other forums that only give mods the permissions to create new threads manage to survive on the internet, what makes you think that this forum will die off with such a setup? Do you think the posters of this forum are a special type like...
Learn to read. Then learn to comprehend what you read. Many forums put restrictions on who can start a thread. It doesn't mean people are not allowed to post in those threads, they can post all they want.
Moderating a forum where scores of comments are posted every hour is a task that...
I'll try to shed 'some' light:
2) A minister in the cabinet is an elected parliamentarian. An advisor to the prime minister is a technocrat who holds the rank of a minister. Appointing an advisor in this way allows the PM to place a technocrat or a subject matter expert in charge of running a...
There is a simple solution to this problem. Give only moderators the permissions required for open threads. I think the forum software may provide an option or it should be possible with a plugin.
It is a 4.5++ Gen fighter with on-demand stealth capability which allows it to vanish from sight on demand. Its visible band stealth is world leading in this respect. It even has on onboard farting system that generates clouds of gas in front of the canopy to make it disappear off radar screens.
No need to sign up for an orphan design like the FC-31. The next generation chinese naval stealth fighter is going to fly by 2020. It will be half a generation ahead of the FC-31 and will see constant design updates. Will also be mass produced and procured by China, which will make it more...
Let's see those documents you are claiming exist. Let's see you prove the 'great and honest' Syrian government.
Every independent organization has reported mass torture, war crimes and mass killings in Assad's prisons. There are not only independent third party reports, thousands of photos...
What was the news regarding interaction with the MKM? And why was it blown out of the sky? I'm surprised the Indians were able to exert such influence on Malaysia.
Why didnt it go through? Was it an issue on the Pak side or the South African side? I believe PAF's requirement for 5g WVRAAMs if they choose to equip just the planned JF-17 fleet of 150+ could easily be more than 400 missiles
lol this is funny.
The idiot probably thought he could get citizenship by claiming to have become a Christian. That letter must have been a shock lol.
Next time, try saying you're gay, idiot. Then hope nobody at the immigration office is :D
