A thread on the F-35's ESM/EW and countermeasures from what's publicly available. (1/15) 🧵 The F-35 has a fully integrated EW suite called ASQ-239 Barracuda, which is a further im...
It would be mistaken to say companies like Pratt and Whitney have not innovated on jet engine design in the last 70+ years of making them. For example, 13 years ago they added th...
@HongqiN701 The Russians repeatedly tried to sell China the inferior Mig-29 in the 90’s, China rebuffed them everytime. The PLA only wanted the Su-27. The plan had always been to a...
Today, I'm gonna cover the fire control system of another rocket-armed interceptor. This time, it's the F-86L. This was an upgrade of the F-86D that allowed for SAGE datalink integ...
Well, some historical account. I am sure everyone that like stealth aircraft already know about "Hopeless Diamond" I guess imma making one too for "Historical archive" This sha...

As in the previous thread, power gearboxes hold noise reduction potential, especially for large engines, by lowering fan rotational speed. A big win on efficiency too! It's current...

• track-while-scan mode for up to 10 targets • 25% increase in detection & tracking range • 6-on-6 AIM-120 AMRAAM capability (can guide 6x AIM-120 onto targets at the same time) •...
Here's a thread on ALH/LCH and LUH main gear box. The MGB is the magic around which the engineering is done. It is the primary reason behind ALH/LCH's phenomenal high-altitude perf...
The 5 main components of an aircraft ✈️: 1. Fuselage The fuselage is one of the major aircraft components. Its long hollow tube, also known as the body of the airplane, holds the...
@Sandeep_Mave Can this question be answered without knowing definitively where the MKI falls short compared to its modern peers (F/A-18E/F, F-15E, Rafale, etc.)?
1. The missile is statically stable which means aerodynamically it wants to fly straight (just like an arrow). The magic is actually in the release. Short thread https://t.co/nuGx...

China's AKF-98A, a stealthy missile or a glide bomb? Does it have an engine or just capable of gliding? Well, the answer is in plain sight, boxed in red the text indicates the loc...
@Spectre66108666, this is not against you. This is an often-repeated misconception. So, please allow me to first dispel this misconception. And then criticize the program properl...
Wow! Everyone, please read this article. A heli that was pressed into conflict even before any operationalization (even orders), outperformed every heli. https://t.co/ERHiwLKQCA
