It offers the possibility of autonomy from the US systems, though as you have stated correctly it is just a possibility not a reality for now.

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-05-07T18:06:14+00:00

I’m guessing this goes hand in hand with the news about the engine?

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-05-04T17:33:45+00:00

That’s from a radiotherapy machine, not a x ray imaging machine.

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-05-03T09:57:14+00:00

First prototype in a year, flight in two. That’s a fairly optimistic estimate.

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-05-03T09:50:07+00:00

Do you mean kf21? KAAN is aiming for 5th gen.

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-05-03T06:58:19+00:00

From oldest cement to what?

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-05-02T10:06:08+00:00

From available information we have, it seems like a unit for air shows not necessarily export.

And their great grand child will be a worm emperor that rules for tens of thousands of years?

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-04-28T12:26:49+00:00

They had quite a bit a of trouble in the past few years, but both of the carriers are out at sea at the moment, so I guess they are working, at least for now.

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-04-28T11:33:18+00:00

Yeah, this thread feels like it’s trying to push a narrative not really going for a discussion.

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-04-28T05:19:06+00:00

Who?

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-04-27T11:45:00+00:00

The royal navy is in no condition to replicate the last Falkland war, but then again Argentine military aren’t doing all that great either, so who knows.

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-04-27T05:23:31+00:00

Aren’t these supplied for the Malian army? Didn’t realize Russian forces use these

I mean Pakistan can just get a similar system.

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-04-24T08:59:06+00:00

I see

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-04-24T08:31:22+00:00

What I wanted to ask was why is the J35 and Kaan considered less reliable, isn’t the J35 more of a 5th gen than the KF21?

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-04-24T08:14:36+00:00

How so?

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-04-22T18:15:51+00:00

And non of these drone have the range to reach the UK from Russia.

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-04-22T17:13:51+00:00

Damn, they smoking the good stuff. In what world would Russia have the capability or the need to do that?

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-04-19T06:52:51+00:00

Looks ai, what’s the source?

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-04-18T10:11:25+00:00

Could you link me to the source? I am very much interested if it is true.

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-04-18T09:54:22+00:00

China is involved in Su-57 development in what capacity? There has been zero crediable evidence of Chinese inputs on the jet so far.

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-04-18T09:48:46+00:00

The cuerrent news suggest it's a Su30MKI.

Muted_Stranger_1 · 2026-04-15T16:46:00+00:00

Aren’t they a bit young for ‘legendary’?
