The Signature Augmentation System (SAS) technology is now being extended to protect fighter jets.
When aviation fans think of American stealth planes, the first that come to mind are often the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II. Although the latest fifth-generation fighters are incredible technological feats, none of them represents the first stealth aircraft built specifically to fly in combat.
The U.S. Air Force’s F-117 Nighthawk served as a predecessor to the best-known fighters flying today in many ways. True “stealth” qualities of the Nighthawk are frequently questioned.
At the time of its commissioning, the U.S. Air Force recognized the aircraft as a stealth fighter.
Yesterday, the Turkish Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee accepted the protocol for Finland’s NATO membership, and on the same day, Finland’s President Sauli Niinisto signed his country’s NATO regulations.
The Foreign Affairs Committee of the Turkish Parliament voted yesterday (March 23) to pass a bill approving Finland’s NATO membership application (NATO).
Anadolu Agency (AA) stated that the commission meeting was attended by officials from the Justice Ministry, Foreign Ministry, Defense Ministry, Interior Ministry, and the National Security Agency.
Oddly enough, the US military acquired Soviet-era MiG-29 fighters following the dissolution of the USSR. Thanks to the small ex-Soviet republic of Moldova, Washington acquired 21 of these highly capable fourth-generation fighters.
As the Soviet Union collapsed, Moldova had 34 MiG-29 fighters, eight Mi-8 Hip helicopters, and six transport airframes in its military inventory. Plunged into a deep recession, the small country agreed to sell most of its MiG-29 “Fulcrums” fleet to the United States.

At least another U.S. service member was wounded in a new round of battles with Iranian-backed forces in Syria.
There were two simultaneous attacks on U.S. forces in Syria Friday, according to The Associated Press, citing U.S. officials.
The officials said that “based on preliminary information, there was a rocket attack Friday at a Conoco plant, and one U.S. service member was injured but is in stable condition,” according to AP. “At about the same time, several drones were launched at Green Village, where U.S. troops are also based.
Can a huge surface destroyer be considered stealthy, armed with Tomahawk missiles, deck-mounted guns, sensors, antennas, and onboard heat-generating electrical power?
Sure, the tall, vertical masts, hull-mounted sensors, and protruding antennas could never make for a low-observable ship. However, accomplishing these missions is the technical starting point from which engineers set out to build a ship. Stealth warfare is the first of its kind.
Ever since the Turkish Aerospace Industries factory announced the creation of its newest stealth fighter platform, the TF-X, the military world has been on the lookout.
Turkey’s ability to manufacture its own fleet of fifth-generation aircraft has proven strong, having delivered domestically produced Bayraktar TB2 combat drones to Ukraine. Now, the long-awaited presentation of the first prototype of the TF-X is approaching.
Ankara’s ambition to become a dominant arms and equipment manufacturer led to the TF-X creation.
