Germany just released design concepts and semi-prototype ... nice.

Current and even previous U.S. administrations (to whatever degree it could have been done considering the idiot Trump) were convinced by U.S.military command and Pentagon that THERE IS NO LOGICAL WAR GAIN by engaging Iran. Unlike some other adversaries (e.g. China, or Russia), picking a fight...

Amazing. But then again, I expect nothing less from you, borther. Iranian people can ONLY count on themselves. If they count on this b.s. that calls itself international order, or NPT, or IAEA, or global trade, global banking and transaction processing, etc. etc. - we will ONLY be disappointed...

My brother TheImmortal, Don't get mad at the Russians. They are nobody's "ally". They see everybody as "Frienemies", as a diplomat at a party in N Virgina told me once. "Frienemies" means that the Russians see everyone as "not quite friends and not quite enemies". The Russians (somewhat...

Those days Iran had very little, just sheer 2 dimensional army-infantry based war capabilities. No comparison to what they are capable of today. It often takes a few technology breakthroughs to make a huge difference. For instance, Iran's engine for LTC4B for helicopters can be used (yes I...

Thank you. Learned quite a bit from this.

Nice, thank you. More question: If the track is half the length (from covering 3 wheels, instead of 6/7), does that NOT TRANSLATE into less stress on the track, longer longevity, less chance of snapping/breaking? Or am I totally wrong? The engines can be positioned (a pair coupled together) in...

Thanks. Interesting. Nice, thank you. More question: If the track is half the length (from covering 3 wheels, instead of 6/7), does that NOT TRANSLATE into less stress on the track, longer longevity, less chance of snapping/breaking? Or am I totally wrong? The engines can be positioned (a...

Impressed by how much you all know about tanks. I don't know jack about tanks, and never really studied them. I do have a question for whoever has time to answer it (hope it is not a dumb question), and I thank you in advance for the answer. The U.S. Abram tanks have gas turbine engines (I've...

I try to be somewhat conservative with expressing my opinion sometimes, to leave room for others here, for all views to be heard and have an equal sharing. BUT this comment WAS QUITE DISGUSTING. Let's hope we all never hear this kind of thing again.

Great post PeeD. Brings back memories. Couple of points, which I am sure no one there would think that I am ruffling feathers. There are Iranians (actually somewhat young) that work there. There is an amazing young Iranian in Chemical Composition, and another in stage monitoring IT tools, and...

My friend, TheImmortal, I have enormous respect for your knowledge, and in particular, how much you contribute to this forum and bring knowledge in your area of expertise. Since leaving Iran, I have spent about equal time here in US as well as in UK, They are both a society based on...

Gentlemen, At the risk of, no doubt, sounding like a broken record player ... I would say, the idea of needing a STATE OF THE ART ENGINE is borderline insanity, for Iran. I can justify this. In 1962 An engine was produced for a fast car, it was a 5.0L TI-VCT-V8, for one of my favorite cars, a...

Yes. Together they overwhelm the war planners and they offer a sensible alternative to war. War is just a negotiation strategy. That's all. One of the longest advocates of war with Iran (although he masks it well, smart guy of course), is Karim Sadjadpour at Carnegie Endowment for International...

Thank you Jauk for your kind words. I have so much respect for most of the wonderful people here in Iran section of this forum. What do I mean with "...the RESULTS will force U.S. to end it fast, ..." ? U.S. is in a position of a super power, and currently the most economically powerful super...

Excellent point you make here. That is what I was referring to. If Iran can build AL21 engines, and it can have 200+ Su-22 which are very old technology and should be easy for Iran to reverse engineer, now it has a light aircraft that can LAND on most of Iran's highways which are made on top of...

So many great points you made my friend, but let me start by mentioning a few of these great points before I try to give you my opinion regarding your question: - "aren't fighter jets, by their very essence, easier to locate in case of a war" - "static air bases, of an air force, are surely as...

Very smart questions, my friend. No military on earth CAN IGNORE considering what you stated in your post. Eisenhower use to say, in 1950s, "We won, because of logistics planning and organization". Well, this is a double-edge sword for U.S. and they have to plan, plan, and plan. Almost the...

I make lots of assumptions, which I have no evidence to back it up, regarding Iran's budgeting, R&D, and even decision making process. Hence, I often have in the back of my mind, that they cannot take on multiple engine projects, multiple paths, multiple fighter/bomber developments, etc. Iran...

My friend Peed, this would not be ideal for a fighter jet, may be possibly a sub-sonic trainer, but it won't work for a full-on light fighter or LIFT. When talking to front-line fighter pilots, they talk for hours about flight optimization for combat purposes, they mention for instance amount...
