There is a thing called the Radar Horizon. In order for a ship to detect an object 600 km away from the radar, the object needs to be at an altitude of > 65,000 feet. Have you heard of F-16’s cruising at 20+ km altitude?
there is no need to build larger radar and missile ships if it is constraint by Radar Horizon. The stealthness / speed of cruise and BMs are increasing. so at most few kms they can be intercepted.

Who says MRJ already throw the towel..? MRJ being delayed..well so does 787..
Boeing 787 is first airline that use extensive composites and advanced strong titanium. Mitsubishi MRJ is obsolete from the start. somehow Japanese don’t want to mix advance composites.

The quest for stronger, cheaper titanium alloys
About 10 years ago, Vladislav Tetyukhin, then general director of VSMPO-AVISMA, and his research team, created a concept of a new lower cost alloy, VST2, aimed at replacement of Ti 6Al-4V, which could be produced with the use of scrap of various titanium alloys serially produced by VSMPO at the level of about 75 percent.[/quote]

F3 will be build with foreign support..so does F2 and F1..based on Japan historical performance on F2 and F1..it will be over budget..but so does any Fighter development.
They have deficit..so does US..but it doesn’t say they have no money to build F3..
Heck even Korea on track on building their own fighter.
Again..how a much bigger economy then Russia did not have money to build their own fighter…?

Yes I am waiting for Japanese aviation miracle based on historical performance as if past and future are the same.[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT]
JSRI can bet on this one. Japan cannot make F-3. They throw the towel with Mistsubishi MRJ even with 99% imported equipment and foreign flight testing. Honda Jet is US made with GE engines.
Japan competition is with smaller countries like Korea.
They post trade deficit with shrinking population. There is no technical people left for 5G fighter let going to 6G.

The Mi-38 has had an extraordinary gestation period – even by Russian standards!
There is IL-96-400M that is coming out that plane have even longer gestation period and its understandable with such steep criteria for making complex products.

ZHUHAI, China (Reuters) – Russia wants to achieve full independence in its ability to develop civil aircraft in order to avoid being “pushed around” by dominant companies and countries in the industry’s supply chain, a senior Russian state executive said.

doesn’t fare well for the prospect of new Japanese air superiority fighter.
Japan neither has the technical ability nor money to build its own fighter. both F-15J and F-2 are likely to be replaced by F-35. but we have to see what time frame the procurement spread out.
but this big announcement will help politically just in case they need US help with Nissan-Renault.

Nope this was not the case though some erroneously attributed to this being the case. There was a claim about tactics in that they were having a pretty good close up look at how the joint forces operate but not anything pertaining to the signature. Of course there is a possibility that we are talking about something else in that case I’d love if you could share a direct/exact quote for context.
Russia use airspace of Iran-Iraq-Turkey so it will be highly interested in finding out anything flying around there. or even just getting flight profile and rcs data of every missile fired at Syria.
Infact the Syria experience is buzzword for development of next generation weopons.

JSRI am not sure what has 5.5G fighter has anything to do with aircraft carrier. by the the time Carrier is ready T-50 will be in second iteration more like 5++. if not full 6G fighter.
6G fighter.

between 2012 to 2017. Cruise missile launch vehicles increase 12 times while quantity of missiles by itself increase 30 times equipped with electronic warfare. you cannot reduce RCS and or change of speed of Aircraft carrier. and it need huge logistical chain that make it vulnerable to global strike platforms. the more robotics introduced in Industrial assembly the higher will be cruise missile production and lower the cost. Both labor and technology favors advance missiles with higher speed and lower RCS.

“As a result, we have increased the number of ground-launched, sea-launched, and air-launched delivery vehicles more than 12-fold and the number of precision-guided cruise missiles more than 30-fold,” he said.
you cannot put gigantic AWACS like A-100 on aircraft carrier nor big air refullers.

I try to be realistic : it is a given that the SCAF will be produced in lower number than US or Chineese NG jets (let’s wait & see for the Russian) but that was already the case for mirages and rafales and they still exist
Those Mirages and Rafales (far less complex in technology) developed in different era. now if US finds new French jet slightest threat to its dominance in EU or threat to Israel. it will sanction any French firms doing any business anywhere. French government is not rich enough to keep them afloat.
Superjet is venture of French firms..

Over the course of the summer, a number of SCAC’s European partners informed the manufacturer that they will not risk losing U.S. market as a result of the White House’s possible retaliation for their non-compliance with President Donald Trump’s new policy toward Tehran.Having reconsidered the situation, Moscow has decided to proceed with the indigenization of the Superjet to a greater extent than initially planned. After 2021, when SCAC introduces a version of the airplane without U.S. parts known as the SSJ100R, the company plans to pursue a version devoid of all Western components, according to sources within UAC
[As I said Canada/Brazil will exit from Aviation industry. Next is EU. US will have a lot of of surplus labor due to changes in Automobile industry. Those will have to be obsorbed in Aviation Industry.
Antenna upgrades to radar does not make it 6G fighter. It will stay 4G airframe with 4.5G electronics. first start with hypersonic weopon development.

Probably just India and a couple of Gulf sheikhdoms. Both iffy propositions in the 2040s – India because of the US competition and the Gulf states due to economic factors as well as US/Chinese competition.
There is only one country that will have 6G fighter. it is based on water supply, population density and efficient industrialization of large industrial cluster of aerospace at one place.
not at this place

When did China receive their first batch of Su-35s? So you’re saying the Chinese studied the Su-35, which they received the first batch at the end of 2016, and developed a fully capable TVC system in under 2 years on the J-10? Right, ok. It’s clear the Chinese have been developing TVC technology for some time prior to receiving the Su-35. You can’t simply copy something like this and iron our all the technical issues in under 2 years, no matter how good the Chinese are at reverse engineering.
you are assuming this TVC is only related to Su-35. the point is Chinese are 25 year behind in implementing TVC and that only in one or two prototypes. Not mass scale serial production with sustainable reliability under heavy loads both in internal fuel and external weights with much higher speed and altitude. I mean they haven’t shown anything new not even in scale of MIG-29OVT.
Advance implementation of TVC is first to remove the canards, than make the tail smaller and make the fighter body flatter..
