1) As long as we have an engine that fits, we'll make it fly. End of story. Russian engine is the absolute worst case scenario, in all likelyhood, Turkish engine will be ready before we get there. Like I said, there's 7-8 years at least.
That’s conjecture, but like I said let see. Long way from Taxi till mass production.
Iran has Russia offering them their highest tech weapons. This is what you can do
Russia has never offered Iran their highest tech weapons. History has shown Russia backstabbing Iran in many arms deals, including the S-300 where Iran sued them in world court and secured a 3B dollar judgement if they didn’t deliver the system.
In fact they haven’t even confirmed sale of SU-35S. That was Iranian side talking. As for SU-30 license production in Iran, is according to Turkish sources.
What foreign radar? lol. We have the latest tech GaN based AESA radar at home
Yes and your helicopter and tank are all homegrown tech as well. Come on man.
I’m curious why Turkey is even trying to build up its military when it’s part of NATO? Who is planning to invade Turkey or who is Turkey planning to invade? If anything NATO goes to war with Russia then Turkey will be fighting Russians. Unless this whole military build up is to fight Greece.
This is the last time I'm talking about this, you absolute retard. If they can detect an F16, they can detect a SU-27 and they can detect a Tupolev. It doesn't matter if your RCS is 1 m'2 or 15 square kilometers. If you want stealth, Su-35 or Tupolev bombers are equally wrong options.
You are the one that brought up SU-35 RCS. I was saying Tupolev is obsolete as a bomber due to its RCS. Tupolev is an offensive weapon made to attack foreign targets.
SU-35S is for defensive purposes for Iran. It’s to protect its air defense systems from saturation attacks via Israeli or US airforce. SU-35 can track F-35 using its IRST (same thing TFX is trying to add to its jet).
Now F-35 vs SU-35S on NEUTRAL soil is obviously going to F-35 in the dogfight.
However, F-35 vs SU-35S over Iranian soil with Iranian Bavar, S-300, Khordad, and tens of other systems illuminating the air space than the nod goes to SU-35 to be able to keep the F-35 honest since F-35 will have to fend of SU-35 plus a host of radars and air defense systems trying to shoot it down. A monumental task.
Iran’s Air Force is a defensive Air Force, it isn’t planning to purchase SU-35S to attack Israeli airforce or US bases. Meanwhile a TU bomber is MADE to bomb foreign bases. That is the difference. That was my point.
I’m done arguing in circles with you. You forget your own points you try to make and move the goalposts.
I also don’t care about TFX, I merely said it is too reliant on foreign power plants and sub systems. Which is true. Your counter was if US doesn’t supply GE engines you will ask Russia too. Again still foreign dependency.
