Via Chathamhouse: Are Ukraine’s F-16s another case of too little, too late? Like other high-profile weapons systems, the impact of F-16s may be curbed by limited numbers and US restrictions on their use. Western-supplied F-16 combat aircraft have now been in Ukrainian service for several weeks. In 2022 and 2023, some had high hopes that provision of F-16s would be a game changer for Ukrainian warfighting capabilities. Yet their final introduction has been something of a ‘soft launch’, without the expectations of a sudden and dramatic impact that accompanied other high-profile new weapons deliveries to Ukraine. https://lnkd.in/dZVRaAj8

The South Korean defence company Hanwha Aerospace (Hanwha Aerospace - Land Systems Business Group), in collaboration with the Polish defence industry, has handed over 18 K239 Chunmoo launchers to the Polish Armed Forces. An additional 36 systems are scheduled for delivery by the end of this year. As part of a significant contract signed with Poland’s defence procurement agency (Armament Agency) the Polish Armed Forces are set to receive 218 K239 Chunmoo Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS). The contract, valued at USD 3.5 billion, was signed in November 2022.

Confidence to Friends, Fear to Enemies Turkey’s national fighter jet, named KAAN (formerly known as TF-X), is a stealth, twin-engine, all-weather air superiority fighter currently under development by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) in collaboration with BAE Systems. The KAAN is designed to replace the F-16 Fighting Falcons in the Turkish Air Force’s fleet. It is a part of the National Combat Aircraft (Milli Muharip Uçak, MMU) project, representing Turkey’s ambition to strengthen its defense capabilities with indigenous military technology. The KAAN fighter jet is a fifth-generation aircraft, highlighting advancements in stealth technology, air-to-air combat, air-to-ground strikes, and electronic warfare capabilities, aiming to operate effectively in various weather conditions. #fighter #5thgenerationfighters #TurkishAirForce #TAI

These are some of the most modern combat aircraft in service.

The recent announcement by President Zelensky regarding the reception of F-16 fighter jets by Ukraine represents a significant milestone in the country's defense posture and strategic capabilities. The procurement of such advanced aircraft underscores Ukraine's commitment to enhancing its national security and defense readiness in a geopolitically complex environment. The acquisition of the F-16 fighter jets is poised to bolster Ukraine's air defense capabilities and is emblematic of the nation's resolve to modernize its military assets.

💥 Rheinmetall has ordered an undisclosed number of SPEXER high-performance radars from HENSOLDT to be fitted to its Skyranger 30 anti-aircraft gun. Valued at 100 million euros, the agreement is meant for the Skyrangers of Germany and Austria. Denmark could also benefit from the deal, as it recently signified its intent to procure the German-made air defense system. Hensoldt's SPEXER family of radars is capable of automatic detection and classification of ground, sea, and low-flying air targets. It utilizes active electronically scanned array technologies to enable a very high target location accuracy and improved situational awareness. #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #radar #radars #airdefense #airdefence #rheinmetall #hensoldt

The standard weapons for NOMADS comprise four ready-to-fire AIM-9X Block 2 Sidewinders, best known as air-to-air weapons but also an option for the NASAMS. It’s worth noting that four missiles is a relatively low total, while the AIM-9X is also far from a low-cost option with each round costing close to half a million dollars.
