No one is denying that this was a military vessel. And no one is denying the location of where the incident took place. In my opinion when an incident like this happens to a large military vessel near what could be called unfriendly/enemy waters then someone (a person or organization) was...

You are correct, you can not build your entire Air Force around 1-2 type of engines. However we already have low thrust engines, We can already power lighter low payload jet UCAV's around OWJ, Jahesh 700, Tolue 5 & other engines We can already build light subsonic trainers and CAS fighters...

So although per pond of thrust the OWJ is a fuel hungry engine, the platforms you can build around them with sufficient upgrades will at least have a chance to go toe to toe with enemy fighters at shorter ranges. On top of that, Owj has a lot of room for upgrades and improvements that can...

Fj-44 or an Iranian version of it will NEVER be sufficient for a viable supersonic fighter jet or UCAV. A viable subsonic trainer sure, but a supersonic fighter NEVER! And it's development or improvement will no more help Iran in developing a high trust supersonic engine than the Jahesh-700 has...

F-16 F-100 engines maybe but neither Iran nor Venezuela would risk relations with Russia over it... So unless the Russians gave their blessing it's highly unlikely. At best, Iran with the full blessing of the Russian borrowed or purchased 1 engine for testing., to test it's viability and use...

We also not only have access to LOW BYPASS TF-30's but have years of experience working with them and know exactly where it's flaws are and what parts to try to redesign & or attempt to improve upon.... Production of Fj44 may be good for civilian use and should be taken up by civilian...

AL-21's are already twin spool and you cant call turning the J-79 In to a twin spool an upgrade because that would be designing an entire new engine not an upgrade.... As for increasing the heat potential of the combination chamber and turbines that only becomes effective if you either change...

And how does production of the Fj-44 help Iran produce a high thrust interceptor? Iran's Jahesh-700 engine may be good for various applications but not that! If Iran wants to save currency on fuel then they should start moving towards developing a natural gas based jet fuel and a high powered...

Iran's version of warfare is quite different and far more complex than the standard definition of asymmetrical warfare! And it's not about belief in any specific type of tactic, rather, a threat assessment of your enemies capabilities and proper cost/benefit analysis of the weapons you are...

Your using a few obscure facts to reach some unfounded conclusions! 1st off risking the 4 Su-30's you have against SAM's over a few dinky drones is absurd & you do NOT know the actual reasons why they chose not to use them. And even if what you say was true then its Armenia's fault for not...

I'm pretty sure you got that backwards! If Iran purchases the JF-17 it would purely be due to politics and nothing more! It would be an utter mistake for Iran to purchase the Jf-17 and if the Chinese want a good long term relationship with Iran's Air Force then they should stop trying to Sell...

If there is one country on the planet we need to work overtime to cooperate with, it's China and the fact is this current Iranian government has done a poor job at doing just that. It doesn't take much foresight to see that a new silk road connecting China to the Mediterranean through Iran...

It would be great news if Iran, China, Russia, Pakistan & other Asian countries finally woke up and started cooperating for a new Asian alliance as a counter to NATO to cooperate both militarily and economically. Most of the worlds population and with it most of the worlds economy is in Asia...

Even if these facilities where deep underground, the U.S. does NOT need to demolish the entire base. Especially for near shore bases the main thing they would likely focus on is the entrances. And they vary much have the capability to put them out of operation for weeks on end and with repeated...

Amazing! As I always say the IRGC never disappoints! This is an indication that it's about time they start working overtime in coming up with different launch platforms & VLS systems... There is no way to hide the logistics of loading that many missiles amidst a war with the U.S. without the...

Just listen to what your say! Instead of sanctioning you like they did to N.Korea & Iran they handed you free F-16's so that maybe every other power involved with your nuclear program from east to west would somehow think twice about helping you develop nuclear technology! Yes you sure fooled...

If Pakistan was under half the sanction Iran is under, in under half the time span the country would have fallen apart. Which means for the west allowing Pakistan to have nukes was mainly a tool to keep India a vast country which at the time had 700m PPL & a high birth rate in check. And it...

3ِD printing would only make sense in initial design which would greatly help cutting down R&D costs and even then not for the barrel... Future of production may be with 3D printing but we are not there yet but knowing that means funding and development of more advanced 3D printers needs to be...

Stealth/low RCS supersonic combat drones are on their way and Iran should NOT sit back and wait... Iran's OWJ engines may not be sufficient for a modern manned fighter however on a UCAV's they may be the most ideal engine due to cost and ease of production. The materials used on the frame and...

I agree, however right now according to Iranian law they are NOT allowed! I believe the experiment with allowing Sepah into the economy has proved successful and Artesh & Sepah should both be allowed to operate inside the economy. Now that doesn't mean either one has any business opening up...
