12:58 the Japanese F2 is so successful at stealth that Simon's editors were fooled into believing it's a Typhoon XD
-
I predict that before too long, Simon's gonna launch the Aerographics channel.🔮🛩️🛫🚀🚁

It wasn't that the US wouldn't sell Turkey the F-35, its that they wouldn't allow Turkey to join in the development side of the program and wouldn't share certain secretive technical specifications. Turkey also bought the Russian S-400s AA system, and there were concerns that Russia would use the radar systems in those to improve their targeting abilities.
-
The F-22 probably is the best in service fighter plane all around. Which is pretty astonishing as it’s been in service since what, 2007?
-
Comparing your agility against an F-35 is like saying you're a better basketball player than Gary Kasperov.
-
you'd be able to track the MiG-41 on InfraRed from 3000 miles away when its at full speed lol
-
0:16 I hazard a guess but literally nobody thinks of the Su 57 in the same line as "the most advanced jet fighter in the world"
-
the fact that the F22 is from the 1990s tech for the US and other countries are still working on catching up to that is pretty mind blowing. Folks like to complain about the size of the budget, but always being a generation ahead is the goal of a lot of these highly advanced projects. We already have the F35 now and the B21. Now working on 6th gen while others are still working towards 5th gen.
-
-
When countries can't even home grow current generation tech, but decide they can outdo what is available, they're probably 2 generations behind the guys with the platforms in the air now.
-
Mig-41 is a meme, just like 42 is.
-
The turkish part seems to be poor researched. Turkey has a lot of experience when it comes to fighter jets. They produeced parts for the F-35 and have been producing F-16 under licenese many years. And Sweden has no particioation in the TF-X project and the only critical part seems to be the engine where there is a collabartion with BAE systems and Turkey's own progress creating an jet engine.
-
The F22 is still bleeding edge compared to what other countries can field that isn't US derived (Which China's plane is based on stolen airplane data).
-
So it's fair to say Türkiye is building a TAI fighter ?
-
Sad to remember that in 1959, Canada was poised to be a world leader in advanced aviation technology. Then, like most innovative Canuck ideas, politics happened and it all came crashing down. RIP AVRO, gone but not forgotten. :(
-
The Mig-41 being able to go 4 times the speed of sound would mean that they'd already developed a stealth coating that can survive extremely high temperatures that would melt the coating off, and given the current state of the Russian military, I doubt their R&D department made such coating
-
Stepping back in time to the days of the SAAB Viggen, remember that? So my dad (ex-raf) was on holiday in Sweden and driving through the forest he came upon a set of traffic lights, they were red. So he stopped and a Viggen took off right in front of him, straight out of the mountain. He was impressed lol.
-
Unfortunately there's been a recent development involving the Flygsystem 2020 and Sweden is no longer involved with the Anglo-Japanese fighter program since the UK wasn't willing to share any meaningful workload or technology with the Swedes. So they'll develop their own fighter through SAAB, which has proven themselves incredibly capable engineers time and again, and will probably seek economical partnership with other countries to share the development costs.
-
The F-35 has a 15 Billion dollar contract for upgrades. Any plane thinking it's going to beat the F-35, that would be the last version.

The last time I was this early, she was like “is that it?”
