Honestly, I can't answer that with any degree of accuracy. There are so many things that go into such a project. It took RR about 17 years to develop RB.183 and that was suppose to be an upgrade of Spey. So even organizations with huge resources fall apart just like Kaveri. India has so many...

Great question. I have under design at least some 20+ fighter jets that I am working on in CAD/CAM. All these are great for "theoretical" purposes, but REALITY is always something totally different. Iran needs an engine that has flexibility for different scenarios to make the investment for...

Yes, you are correct. But the engine has a 1,800 to a max 2,100 hour life. I am not sure what age Iran's SU22 engines are. Iraq used these quite extensively. Not sure how much juice they still have in em. But Iran needs more engines anyways, and needs a replenishment strategy, i.e. build the...

GREAT thinking. Yes, I know of sources in Ukraine that are willing to sell (black market) AL21s to Iran. U.K. got a couple for testing purposes. A company in Texas bought one for testing. But Iran has had so many "tricks" played on it - like Hajizadeh paid for radars he never got and found...

Very good point, indeed. That is what is killing Saudis. The West is not talking about this, but Saudis are burning through so much money, they are themselves very concerned. They just don't want to admit they totally f**ked up in Yemen.

Hack-Hook my friend, VEVAK's post offers a very intelligent way for Iran to go forward. All of us, including VEVAK (I am sure) may want Iran to build AL41F or heck, may be even PW F135-300 that is coming out in 2023 for F-35 upgrade. But it just isn't going to happen. We have to be logical and...

Fact: You don't have knowledge of my knowledge. What if I know something about this that you don't? This never occurred to you?

Well, there are 2 ways to look at this. 1. Iran has been under humongous pressure by so many for so long. In fact, about 120 years of atrocities against Iranian people. You can blame each incompetent government of Iran during those 120 years, but I don't buy it. Never underestimate the CRIMINAL...

There will be some new information released on this, I think this summer. Don't buy it. They are all compromised. Iran has been experiencing this for a long time. That is why they only trust a certain number of people there, hence, IRGC. Who do you think organized operation Eagle Claw...

Yes, I am sure. Did you know Iran is "taking out" Iraqi pilots who dropped Chemical weapons on Iranian cities? Did you know how many of them have been assassinated, so far? No Iran does not forget or forgive. Still Iranians talk about Dr. Mossadegh after some 70 years, almost. e.g. ---...

I heard someone say in Iran that they are working on it. This individual had no more details than, ... AD for surface-to-surface attack boats is very important to IRGCN and IRINS as they remember vividly the sinking of original Sahand and 2 kaman class attack boats. If they had AD, it could have...

As usual, very good point, by Vevak. I am not a fan of AL21, but I much prefer it than J79. It has non-afterburner thrust that is the same as the J79 afterburner thrust, hence huge "mission" capability improvement (better range with non-afterburner) and higher take-off weight (more fuel for the...

First, I start by saying that I have no desire to insult you or offend you in any way, but I just have to speak based on my knowledge of engines and my decades of experience at RR. To compare J79 to AL21F, is a total utter nonsense. The GE engine is a 2nd gen engine, the Russian engine is a 3rd...

Iran does not need a lot. It just needs enough to make the enemy consider the high cost of intervention and the cascade affect of their actions. So far, U.S. got some - yes "some" deterrence from Sullemani Assassination reaction, BUT not enough to be a worthwhile deterrence. They feel they got...

You could be very much correct. I do hear what lots of other people (none Americans/Israelis/Brits) say. And they don't like how Iran is being treated, but they are not impressed with Iran's reaction and regard it as "not very smart".

I do not "EXPECT" Iran to answer to Israeli attack against Iran and/or assassinations of its scientists. It is not FOR ME TO EXPECT anything of Iran. We are all theoretically analyzing what we see and know many things we don't see. I do remember I was working on Toulouse when Israel started...

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, neverrrrrrrrr ....... underestimate the stupidity of American people. I have worked with them in U.K., U.S., France, and Germany. Half the kids come out of high school and can't read or write (according to 6 years of polling by CNN from 2005-2011), and in my opinion having...

You have a very good point, and valid, indeed. However, I was just in China and they are getting really pissed off with the West. They are also pissed off with Iran. They find Iran (government and its policies and its decision making processes) quite antiquated and "unreasonable and...

Don't know much about these missiles or their canister but I do remember that in 1970s U.S. was testing the same canister of sidewinder for ground attack missiles. I wonder if they shared this with Iran in 1975-1978 or not. But again, this is not an area I know anything about. It would be great...

Good try, if you fishing for information and sources. Well, I am not going to bite. You said nothing in your rebuttal that is logical or counters what I said. Even if you do in the future, my ego has been checked-out before entering this forum. I am here to share SOME information with similar...
