I always think back to WW2: at the time, much of the world, and even many Americans themselves, would say "oh, America lacks this, America isn't that, etc". Then America fully enters & mobilizes, all industries & resources devoted to the war effort, and suddenly America is a 2-Theater beast...

Seems I can't start posts yet, or post links, so I'm pasting this here (courtesy of Gizmodo): Christopher Robin Won't Release in China, and It Could Be for a Very Odd Reason James Whitbrook Yesterday 12:15pm Filed to: CHRISTOPHER ROBIN 72.6K 87Save The denizens of the Hundred Acre Woods won’t...

Walk into a room hoping to meet a pretty Indian girl, instead find a bunch of dudes with their pants down yelling "Look! LOOOOK!!" :shout:

What prize do I win?:crazy_pilot: Waiting for that last reason, if no one else guesses I'm hoping you'll tell us. I'd also like to hear why you think the hurjet has a chance against an f16; you've mentioned RCS, which as yet is presumed and can't be confirmed, so what other reasons are there...

I won't pretend to be a "specialist", but just a couple specifics. Trainers are generally slower than proper fighters; afaik hurjet is estimated to have a max speed of 1.2 mach, while an f16 iirc can reach mach 2. This is significant because the speed/range of a missile is highly dependent on...

I think the proof is in the pudding, as they say here in the States. If what you proposed was viable, why don't more top air forces go w/ trainers, properly decked out w/ avionics & missiles? They cost less to both procure and maintain per hour, it would make so much economical sense. But air...

Terimah kasih guys!

There's an article in the Jakarta Post wondering whether Indonesia should continue involvement in the KF-X/IF-X program, but it's behind a paywall/subscription necessary. Has anyone here who's subscribed read the article? Would very much like to learn what Indonesian concerns might be.

If some folks get hung up on it, how about "Abrahamic"? That's even brings Islam into the fold :cheers:

I'm not sure how much Thales is involved anymore, but my understanding is that Elta was contracted for quality control/independent testing & verification purposes, not actual development.

I don't want to derail this thread (aviation), so I'll just say this: looking into it, seems there are no angels. Gulen & his organization are definitely fishy, and Erdogan is Turkey's own Putin, who makes his own laws. They were even in bed together, both Islamist, until alliance was no longer...

Thank you for the response, I will look into it. Why the US would want to support Islamists over a secular govt in Turkey I cannot fathom; up to now Turkey has been something of a model majority-Muslim state that is democratic/isn't a theocracy (w/ some issues, but what country's history is free...

Winnie the Pooh:omghaha: Abe as Eeyore and Obama as Tigger were pretty good too.

How are negotiations going on RR engine IP transfer? I can understand both sides: ofc Turkey wants as much tech transfer as they can get, and RR wants to release as little as possible (don't want direct competition, especially in ME sales). P.S. Turkey has taken the long hard road w/ indigenous...

Can you give a 1 or 2 sentence summary of what they're accused of (and group name)? I don't speak Turkish, so all I could gather from the video was of a Turkish-American civic group. I'm guessing anti-Erdogan, maybe JDP, but they're not trying to revert Istanbul back to Constantinople right...

I haven't heard about US media listing govt employees, never encountered it before (watching news, reading papers, no mention other than "Most Wanted" like for terrorists). If that does happen w/ govt employees in your country or any other country, their personal information/addresses etc...

For crying out loud... Trump is a disgrace, separating children from families is soulless, but putting up a list like this, in some circles it may as well be a hitlist, especially in the current climate. Before Trump, ICE employees were just law enforcement; not the bogeyman, not ogres. If, IF...

I've broken the law madam

?... Are you throwing conspiracy videos at me? Can I guarantee that every person who walks into a church isn't involved w/ espionage? No. Does this prove the existence of some grand "Masonic" Christian conspiracy? No. Turkey wants its jets. US wants its citizen, and reassurance its alliance...
