Most of the drones are probably too small to detect unless they are well lit up against background clutter, which isn't easy to do at range, or in the look-down mode. It's only once they get inside the radar ranges of multiple high-res radars within our network that they can probably be detected. Wh...

I don't see how this can be de-escalated. We gave them off ramp for more than 48 hours. Until today early morning. They don't seem to take it.

That is nearly 1100 kg weight saving for the aircraft. The three legged Cheetah was superior to any thing that we have in inventory today. I am looking forward to the four legged Cheetah. Is it 800 + 300 kg or is the 300 kg part of the 800 kg? In any case, this is a weight loss akin to Adnan Sami :-)

On a related note, pls refer to this HTSE poster (posted by Rakeshji in the AI'23 thread) ... It says SC HPT Blades + EVPVD Coating but a 1493K TeT for the HPT ... which should be a food-for-thought for us in BRF. So about 400-800 K below state-of-the-art.
