Firstly here is an article about the Brazilian AF-1's completing their first buddy pod refueling:

An image of it airborne:

Secondly the Kuwaiti skyhawks should be equipped with the A-4M cannon with 400 rounds according to this (there is a chart half way down the page)
https://www.aereo.jor.br/2011/06/06/con ... kyhawk-ii/
and this link stating they were modified A-4Ms
http://skyhawk.org/article/douglas-a4-s ... ory#kuwait

Also I believe the Kuwaiti skyhawks should get the A-4M AN/ALE-39 as pictured here
https://www.dstorm.eu/pictures/nose-arts/a-4/805_6.jpg

Both of the Kuwaiti skyhawk changes should also be applied to the Brazilian AF-1s since they purchased their skyhawks from Kuwait.

The Enterprise class aircraft carriers had an 8 in and 20 cm aluminium armor plating protecting the deck, engineering section, and belt that was equivalent to 201.6 mm RHA. All the current armor ratings are wrong on all the CVN Enterprise units in both the DBK-3000 and Cold War database.

The armor on all the US carriers in the database is massively understated (the entire point of the Midway class was to have an armored deck, yet CMANO says no deck armor?). I brought this up a while ago and gave the more accurate figures but got no response, which I found odd given how prominently these ships feature in so many scenarios.

Actually, now that I'm looking at it, it turns out the UK carriers are also missing their deck armor even though that was one of their most noteworthy features.

Turkish F-35 in DB3000 can be moved to hypothetical category.

I can open and read it.

CGTN is an alias of CCTV from China. Possibly barred for some reasons. Sadly the twitter post is too short for an article like this.

Regardless the one I did link works anywhere and validates the issue you were talking about.

Probably, a compromise is reachable
"...Our military-to-military relationship is strong, and we will continue to cooperate with Turkey extensively, mindful of constraints due to the presence of the S-400 system in Turkey."
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st ... retary-64/

No, they terminated their shipments and are in the process of removing them from the program entirely. If you even read back the rest of what you just linked you'll see that. What they're referencing is Turkey's continued participation as a member of NATO, not the F-35 program.

"Unfortunately, Turkey’s decision to purchase Russian S-400 air defense systems renders its continued involvement with the F-35 impossible. The F-35 cannot coexist with a Russian intelligence collection platform that will be used to learn about its advanced capabilities."

The Patria AMV is missing from the database and should be included in the following nations:

Finland (APCs with the RWS entered service in Finland in 2003, AMOS mortar variant in 2007, APC version Designated as XA-360, AMOS mortar version designated XA-361 [62 APC and 24 AMOS mortar variants in serivce])

Poland (313 IFV's with the Oto Melara 30 mm Hitfist-30P turret, 80 with the RAK 120 mm breach-loaded mortar [entered service in 2017 and designated Rosomak-Rak], and the rest APCs with either the .50 caliber RWS or Spike AT missiles [designated Rosomak-S] for a total of 977 in service in 2019), the APC and IFV variants entered service in 2004, Designated KTO Rosomak)

Slovakia (81 of the Patra AMV XP APC variant in service, entered service in 2017)

Slovenia (30 APC variants, entered service in 2009)

South Africa (designated Badger, IFV variant armed with the DLS MCT-30 turret, mortar variant will be armed with the Denel M10 60 mm breach-loaded long-range mortar, and the anti-tank variant will be armed with the ZT3 Ingwe missile, 238 ordered with license to domestically produce, expected to be in service by 2022)

Sweden (113 APC variants ordered and entered service in 2013, designated Patgb-360)

And the UAE (initial batch of 15 entered service in 2008, modified to carry BMP-3 turrets, 40 Rosomak APC variants ordered and entered service in 2016.)

It has a range of 800 km, and a top speed of over 100 km/h.

You proceed from the statement that S-400 will be deployed. But there are a lot of opportunities, of case scenarios. Let's wait and see.

The White House has literally already issued a statement (the one you linked) saying they've been expelled from the program because they purchased the S-400. I don't know what more confirmation you need, they're out of the program and that's that. If you want to respond please edit your previous comment instead of making a reply cause doing that floods the thread with tangential topics. I'll do the same to mine on this topic.

Dysta,

Noted pending further US/Turkey posture updates.

The #1138 and #1602 VA-111 Shkval's acoustic signature is completely incorrect, even for an approximation. The Shkval uses a solid rocket motor to propel it through the water at high speed, creating a supercavitation effect (until it either detonates or switches over to a standard propeller in the newer -E model), this was known to be incredibly loud and would easily be picked up by sonar both passive and active.

However, in CMANO the values for it have been copied from the Mk48 series (making it unrealistically stealthy considering it's propulsion and supercavitation effect.)

All of its SIGNATURE values should be multiplied by a factor of at least three to approach a realistic value for what is quite literally a rocket propelled torpedo, but if possible the -E vairant should have some way to return to normal values once it switches to standard propulsion.

There are no specifications available for the Mohajer-6, but its earlier ISR versions have a 5m wingspan and
can travel at 165km/h over a range of 100km.
