type 054a's are not a ship fit for the combat needs of today and tomorrow.

is there actually anything of value in anything you say? any analyses, any thoughts, ideas? anything? Because all you do is copy and paste SSB catalogue like we cant all access that. You should just post the link each time instead of doing this. None of this provides anything useful to anyone.

im sure the designers have thought of methods to ensure reliability lol

yes for both could continue to use the TFE731 from the K8 or the new variant of it the F124 or AI322 for commonality with potential PAF kizilelma?

Back up prediction: AMF will transition into production of a local LIFT, time will tell, i feel very confident that atleast one of these will be right and come to fruition. Lets hope i dont need to eat my words!

Hello, Unfortunately, there are no real details on them other than range. 100km for both. The PAF has ample stocks of Aspide though, but i think FAAZ-2 is just a bigger beefier airframe packed with more propellant based off of whatever is found in the SD-10, but tbh unsure

Unlikely. Just look at all three branches, they're all undertaking a very low-key indigenization effort. How much fanfare did the PN throw up about equipping most of our modern ships with Ribat, a system which has been around for a while, but not actually inducted until now? Or the inclusion of...

1) Russia has had Donbas since 2014, attacking a demoralized Ukraine at the time, not sure how that is an objective that was met in this war. 2) Russian control of Donbas is very very unlikely to last very long at this rate lol 3) Lol of course only Ukraine lost manpower, no Russians were...

what objectives has Russia achieved?

lol skipped the meds today

Then Pakistan, still being a stakeholder in the project is still benefitting economically until a workaround for engine is found

th this is not what i am referring to. They submitted a request a few days ago, in that they claimed to be a part of it already which was denied. It wont hurt to do some reading

nope, it was submitted 2 days ago and lobbied for by the UK, some opposition from japan but strong british lobbying so we shall see

saudis sent a req to the british to join Tempest, however, itll probably get declined, at which point i can see them joining us. If the Indians were smart, theyd push for KSA to join AMCA by offering them HUUUUGE benefits and significant workshare

ironically, money, alongside personnel, cheap labour, some technical expertise and most importantly Firm orders.

lol was thinking earlier what happened to CENTAIC, hadnt heard much about it since it launched.

just to clarify, NSTP is taking part, not NASTP.

10000000000% its prime time, while Turkey takes lead on designing TFX and we support their development, we should take up the development of the UMT part of MUMT, we can start working on the ecosystem with them

Creating another fighter will be even more costly. JF-17 localisation will be cheaper and integrating more systems developed locally will drag that cost down. Thats why Turkey is pushing for partners in kaan, to share development costs and bring down the unit cost. There is zero logical reason...

"there's only so much you can do with the aiframe of the JF-17 until it essentially becomes a completely new design. " but thats the point, nothing will be done to the airframe, it will literally just be an overhaul of the electronics, which is what matters. The JF-17 is meant to be the low end...
