Based on camouflage, the M always has a single tone Grey paint scheme. It has less hard points and an arrestor hook.

I occasionally watch Pride Fighting, but I like it over UFC infact. However K1 is still the most interesting as you get more racial variety of contestants than in Pride where most of the dominant people are either Eastern European or Brazilian, and the occasional African American.

The Shafagh is not a stealth fighter, just a trainer that incorporates designs that reduce its signature but not to the same effect as a true stealth aircraft

This Yak stealth fighter is kind of American looking but definetively more promising than the MiG 1.44 or Su-47 Berkut

I think the one on the left is another project. I’d like to know the name of it though.

Few Questions

* Do Addition of CFT can make the plane more draggier , what impact does it have on F-16 performance , less agile etc
* Can a Mirage-2000 have a CFT , did they ever tested that , I understand they did CFT studies for Rafael , what about Mirages

CFT’s have less drag than their Fuel Tank counterparts. However like anything else, the best performance is when the aircraft is as clean as possible meaning CFTs DO create some kind of drag as well as an increase in weight.

However where Fuel Tanks have an advantage in is the fact that you can jettison them (also meaning you lose a couple thousand there as well), but allowing the aircraft to lose off a source of weight and drag. CFTs being de-tached on the ground (or at least it seems like that now).

No, they never tested CFTs for the Mirage 2000, it could be considered a conflict of interest with their Rafale series.

hey, did you copy this from Burger boy’s post?

the stats and figures (except for the mig-29) are from that post.

Ummmm! What’s Kazahkstan doing in this thread? Kazakhstan is not a small airforce, it’s one of the largest and most powerful in the world!

not small, but definitely not one of the largest and most powerful. Most of what they inherited from the USSR was either sold, in storage, or scrapped. What was left was primarily some of the more modern aircraft (such as the Su-27, MiG-29, etc). Furthermore, it’s a large country that has a small population, they don’t have the man power to be comparable to any of the larger air forces.
