1. Your making an argument for the J85 and against the J79 by stating the it's fuel consumption is even worse than the figures I gave. Plus, I'm pretty sure your own figures are incorrect. Your figures are for full thrust an not max military thrust.
2. To physically work on and build...
I think they would!
It really depends on the price, the aircraft being offered, what is included in the price, the financing, if there is a tech transfer & whether or not we get access to the weapons systems so we can use our own weapons
Unless China can come up with an attractive offer with...
Russia is slacking on radar! I'd pick it over the Su-30 or the Su-35 just for the AESA
I very much doubt that the Raeesi Administration would purchase any fighters even if offered!
In many ways space specifically rocket science is much much easier!
You don't need to ensure reusability and viability of an engine over 1000's of hours of flight time and over a span of a decade or more. Your engine doesn't need to be made up of parts that can be replaced & or repaired...
Rohani turned out to be an even bigger traitor!
Raeesi yes! Ghalibof yes!
Next election if Raeesi doesn't preform then Saeed Mohammad HELL YES! (Time for some new blood!) Although I'd like to know exactly why he was disqualified if its just about the feud between him and Ghalibof then I don't...
Intakes are a problem mainly because the design is wrong & will become problematic over the long run & not simply because they are over the body! Also, Airflow could become an issue! Your comparing aircrafts that will have turbofan engines and hi air flow with a tiny turbojet with no...
Are you making a joke?
A subsonic interceptor slower than the Karrar! no radar! horrible high speed maneuvering capability! built on a composite frame that would likely turn into dust well below 6G's!
And the frame my be low RCS but by no definition of the word is that stealth!
Infact in...
Simply stated that the Kowsar was better than the Q-313 not that it was a good fighter jet!
It's a ok advanced trainer and that's about it!
You slap 2 x 1000lb bombs on an F-5/Kowsar it wouldn't be able to go 250 km from it's base before hitting bingo fuel! So yes you'll have more strike...
Azezam!!! I missed you too!
In a way your right, not much research went into it's development :) but I'm sure that's not what you meant!
Iran has other fighter project that will be better than the Q-313 don't worry this is a good thing!
I don't mind if they turn it into a UCAV but lets see...
We would have no need for Su-22 specs. However AL-21 whole other matter YES ME LIKE! But to upgrade not to produce as is!
Overall, Iran's territory is far to big for Su-22 or even MiG-29's to be a viable option as the back bone of our Air Force because we don't want to have a massive manned Air...
Yes by the most part Iran's vast stock of TBM & UAV's can pick bulk of the responsibility of the Air Force but not all not even close.
Also development of a viable engine or a fighter isn't specifically just about the fighter or the engine. For example, you develop a viable turbofan engine for...
1. Are you actually try to correct me and make an arrangement in favor of the J85 by stating that it's fuel consumption is even worse than the figures I gave?
You do understand that 1.24lb of fuel per lbf per hour is more than 0.96lb per lbf/hr.
Are you trying to make my argument for me or...
It's likely the Sofreh Mahi however that craft is too small to be a useful Jet powered UAV unless it's a scale down model of a UAV.... I would assume that the success of the full scale UAV version will likely determine whether they'll ho ahead and turn it into a manned fighter....
As for the...
That's good progress and I hope IRGC Navy puts increasing importance on larger +50meter vessels
Overall got to say the IRGC Navy has done a good job in terms of increasing their capabilities and the rate of growth has been beyond satisfactory
Simple, you don't target them! Instead you target what ever vessel they came from (If feasible ) & or whatever port that vessel was launch from (If possible) or at least have clear evidence of who launched the attack and respond in kind by hitting a lightly armed logistical ship!
With clear...
1.Yes RAM coating belongs to the US, Yes a true science based stealth design and stealth characteristics also belongs to the U.S.! What's your point?
2.No one said the Ho229 was absorbable... It's low RCS is due to it's inherit design & its low RCS give it stealth characteristics although the...
