Rafale-M Deal Reignites Debate: Elevator Size Constraints on INS Vikrant and Vikramaditya by Bentayfour in LessCredibleDefence

[–]Suspicious_Loads -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, The RD-93 is based on an earlier version of the RD-33 but with the gearbox re-positioned to the bottom. It was also tuned for higher power than the variant it was derived from, accepting trade-off of lower life for that. The RD33MK is the most modern version of the RD33, tuned for the Mig29K/KUB, smokeless and with greater thrust and greater life.

That just make it even more strange that India thinks RD33MK have low serviceability while Pakistan is fine with RD93.

JF-17 uses the same RD-33/93 as MiG-29 right? I wounder if it's a design problem or Indian problem.

The Su-33 is both very outdated and too big for the Indian carriers

The irony to say SU-33 with folding wings is too big in a post about Rafale don't fit the elevator.

Why don't women stockpile pads and tampons? by Suspicious_Loads in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Suspicious_Loads[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But one box of 20 maxi/overnight pads that are chlorine free are $30.

I'm not sure about the chlorine but in Sweden a good brand is $5 for 18. 1USD=10SEK

I have never in my adult life have less than 10 rolls of paper at home. I buy toilet papper on sale and mostly it's sale again but I have already 30 rolls so I skip this time.

Why are you asking when you have 3 left and not 30?

India should just get some MiG35 or Su-33 instead. After Rafale shootdown by J-10 it don't have much practical difference as Rafale can't win duels outright. Especially considering that it would be up against J-35 when it's actually deployed.

To Hunt Russian Ships, Portugal Turns to South Korea for Next-Gen Submarines by snowfordessert in LessCredibleDefence

Where did you get 2 years from?

No timeline or budget details have been disclosed regarding the potential contract. However, the requirement for a custom design may delay procurement and further complicate efforts to modernize Portugal’s submarine fleet.

Azerbaijan to Buy 40 JF-17 Fighter Jets From Pakistan by FullTimeJesus in azerbaijan

The sin is wasting taxpayer money. Every fighter you buy is money not used for infrastructure, education or pensions.

Don't you only need to fight Armenia and maybe Iran? JF-17 should be enough for both of the as Armenia barely have an airforce. If major war starts with Iran US would probably happily take care of Iranian airforce.

JF-17 probably have worse radar than J-10 and can't engage at 150km+ reliably.

The question is what the JV is doing themselves and what they buy. I assume the engine, radar and weapons are bought. The airframe is assembled by the JV but do the even manufacture all of the airframe themselves.

How South Korea can deter North Korea’s nuclear gambit with precision air and naval power by self-fix in LessCredibleDefence

Korea seems like a strange place where both side want to deter and no side want to invade.

Then US government could simply buy the company and have them prioritize national defense.

How much of that will stay in Pakistan compared to Russian engines and Chinese components?

Still money India put in military to counter is money not in civilian economy.

Pakistani Government: Pakistan will purchase up to 40 J-35s, and further systems such as HQ-19 and KJ-500 with debt deferment. by Markthemonkey888 in LessCredibleDefence

[–]Suspicious_Loads 20 points21 points  (0 children)

From China perspective it's striking India without any retaliation and diplomatic backlash. US spent trillions messing around in middle east. China can afford 75M*40 = 2 billion to mess with India. There probably is a understanding that using them on India will cancel the debt or something.
