which is reasonable
if mainly the front aspect is stealthy they can still have surprise when they initially engage
Oh wow, they actually conducted their second phase engine tests in flight in late 2017
So they may very well launch with engines that aren't shit
there is a certain percent chance of that yes
wikipedia: In early 2018, India pulled out of the FGFA project, which it believed did not meet its requirements for stealth, combat avionics, radars and sensors by that time.
Yeah, wonder what they'll go for instead
possibly nothing
China isn't too likely to give them J-20 at this point
Or that, yeah
its not that likely j-20 will even be good
china is like 'hey we dont really have a pre existing aerospace industry but dont worry guys we totally nailed everything on the first try'
Well yeah, but Pakistan is supposed to be flying them
some planes > nothing
true
but if they cant really get the performance they want for their money
then it may just not be worthwhile for india to buy stealth stuff
they are less concerned with cool looking propoganda pieces than some
so they may just avoid stealth entirely
for now
Don't get me wrong, Su-57 isn't likely to be too good either, but it's something usable plus R&D experience
that would probably be one of the upsides for india
if they buy f-35
they will be no closer to making one themselves
su-57 at least they can get involved a bit
25% worth of a bit tbh
mainly because russia is desperate for funds
but i mean
opportunities like that dont come every day
*wonders if the tempest project will end up producing anything*
>BAE
Did Tumblr come up with that name or something
I thought it was from American Pie.
likely to link back to the WW2 Tempest plane
tempest is all talk until it isnt
40% suicide rate.
I've heard from proponents of the surgery option that the 40% rate drops after the procedure? I haven't seen hard starts though
Honestly I don't care if they do all that. I take issue with them attempting to change facts with their feelings
Don't think so. Stats I've seen post op are 38%
If they wanna call that a drop then have at it.
```I've heard from proponents of the surgery option that the 40% rate drops after the procedure?```
That's a lie, nothing changes. The suicide rates stays the same.
Because you don't treat the real problem....
