To admit – and I’m sure some won’t like my opinion – I’m more impressed than by the Tempest.

oh you like this baby

looks a lot nicer than that tailless design from last year

IAF plans to arm its Su-30MKI fleet with i-Derby-ER BVRAAMs

What is the range of I Derby ER?
that link says 100KM

but then it also says its 80% of the Meteor’s capability, which should be over 100KM

Korea to install radars, RWR, and other monkey doodles on Thai T-50 Golden Eagles

not sure why they bought Golden Eagles when they already have Gripens. couldn’t they just use the twin seater as the trainer?

I think globally, unless youre the Saudis.. there’s not much a global demand for tanks these days.
also tank development hasn’t been as fast as aircraft ones either.

you can still be quite effective with an M60 or T-72 than with an F-4 or MiG-21

STEALTH MiG-17 FIRST FLIGHT

Legendary Russian aircraft Manufacturer, Mikoyan Gurevich, unveiled the Stealth MiG-17 at its plant in Nizhny Novgorod.
According to UAC representative, Bolshoy Khleb, the MiG-17 Stealth is not the same aircraft that dominated American fighters over the skies of Vietnam.
Instead, Khleb states that this is an evolutionary model, utilizing the same materials as the Su-57.

While it is unknown whether the MiG-17 stealth will be adopted into Russian service, Chief designer, Dr. Seksualnaya Zadnista, indicated that the aircraft will be produced for exports.
‘ There are may countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America that want a 5th generation aircraft but can’t afford them. This aircraft will fill that special niche and can compete well against more expensive jets from China or the west. Although the airframe is classical, the materials are the same as the Su-57. Additionally, our aircraft emits zero radar signals, making it difficult to intercept’
