lol no, The rear and front underside camera is for obstacle avoidance, so is the 'infrared camera'. the thing behind it is LEDs for landing in dark environments, i own multiple of these. far from it. these are very reliable and very capable little things.

PSF is nonsense ignore this bs

Source for your claim of 100% availability? thanks Edit: Found your source, it says they "logged zero no fly days"... they being the rafale detachment. This is very different from 100% availability lol. If the detachment logged zero no-fly days, that means there was no days where zero aircraft...

Apologies, i cited CAMM weight, which is 1/7th of the HQ-16s. CAMM has also been tested and recorded to get kills at 60km, obviously against 'easier' targets. CAMM-ER has a range GREATER than 45km. Its top speed is not noted anywhere. Its a far, far superior missile in every single aspect.

HQ-16 is more versatile? lol no. CAMM-ER ACTUALLY has a secondary anti ship role. CAMM-ER is also 1/7th the weight of HQ-16 and also has greater range. It is also not limited by illuminators. The 054A latest batch of PLAN has better AESA illuminators which allow more missiles per illuminator...

is there any Turkish datalink programs ? Stuff like LINK-16 etc is hitting its limits, with aircraft like these that can push tons of data around, id assume there would be something in development for them

NH90 been littered with problems forever, its a poor helicopter

India stipulated that Dassault had to ensure ATLEAST 75% serviceability for their rafale fleet after seeing the French Air Force Rafale fleet having 48% availability in 2016. Im not sure about you, but if i was buying something and i had to ASK the OEM to ensure that it would work at least 3/4...

Some new information on Sea Sultan. I have been doing some digging, i think ive cracked it. Contrary to my prior concerns, Wonderboom airport IS capable of housing and supporting the Lineage 1000E. This is where Paramount Group's main facility is. Now, more importantly, A gulf carrier...

JF-17 prod line can sustain 24 aircraft per year, for now its split, 12 to export, 12 to PAF per year.

You're right, the E2D is in a league of its own. Its hands down, one of the most, if not the most capable AWACS to exist. It is built off of modern hardware and continuously evolved. Its insanely powerful, with a stop/stare range of over 1000km, the Limiting factor is the platform and operator...

10 billion is a pathetic number when we look at the size and capability of our force.

Well, considering 2 crashed, 2 are very likely unflyable, im not sure whether you want them all lol.

As someone studying aerospace engineering, id say i have somewhat of a grasp of fatigue/stresses etc. "and used extensively during war" Do you know what the airframe life of a C130H is?

@waz you need to start banning idiots like these, they ruin the discussion, theres also @ziaulislam in the C130 thread. Thanks

Let me put cold water on this active cancellation myth now. Okay, lets quickly look at RCS of an aircraft: This is a very basic example, however, I'm sure you can see what i am referring to. These 'spikes' vary at different angles, this assumes level flight, etc, its a completely perfect...

Yep, they failed, hence the Aircraft are being delivered. Silly people

lol considering these negotiations have been ongoing since 2019, you and the other peddling this would be very wrong...

Lol, what a silly comment

Active Cancellation does NOT exist. It is impractical to do so and anybody who has done high school physics would know that it is not feasible, in fact, impossible even. It is just a nonsense rumor.
