It was not a ICBM that struck Ukraine.

Rather it was a new hypersonic Medium-Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM), as explained by President Putin today they name it as “Oreshnik”. So far, the detail of this system is not known but experts (both from Russia and abroad) mentioned that the system is an advanced hypersonic ballistic missile system, with several advance and unique features, for instance within one missile it can deliver multiple heavy warheads, which we witnessed from the Dnepropetrovsk video. Also, it is capable to deliver both nuclear and non-nuclear payloads, obviously the Dnepropetrovsk strike was non-nuclear payload. Furthermore, experts as well as President Putin mentioned the speed of the missile is unmatched traveling at approximately 10 times the speed of sound, currently, there are no means to counter "Oreshnik" missiles.

Why did the Al-Andalusians adopt European-style armor and cavalry warfare, while the Ottomans did not?

By the mid-13th century, the Andalusians had fully adopted European armor and knightly warfare, with their cavalry becoming nearly identical to their Christian adversaries. However, the Ottomans chose to stick to their traditional emphasis on horse archers and utilized a mix of half-plate and mail armor. Even though elite Ottoman units like the Kapıkulu cavalry combined horse archery with shock tactics effectively, they never fully adopted European-style full plate armor or fielded a cavalry force resembling European knights.

The Ottomans utilized Serbian knights in battles such as Nicopolis (1396) and Ankara (1402), where these knights in full plate armor distinguished themselves in combat. This shows the Ottomans clearly recognized the effectiveness of such heavy cavalry. Combining knights in full plate with their other forces—such as their Janissaries and Kapıkulu cavalry—could have been a powerful strategy. Yet they still chose not to adopt European armor on a wider scale. Why was this the case?

>Was Al Andalus on the backfoot of the reconquista by this point?
There would be muslims fighting muslims in the state as well as Christians teaming up with some muslim princes states to fight others, often the European muslims who converted felt discriminated and put to a lower rank would fight the arab ones and convert back to Christianity etc. It was not filled with arabs it was just a certain strata of ruling class
>>
>>62906870
Al Andalus became disconnected from the Islamic heartland just over 100 years after Muhammad's death, 350 years before the first crusade. Iberia's relationship with Islam was a lot closer to places like medieval Egypt and Syria than it is to even places like France. Iberia caught the crusader's mindset a little later than the rest of Europe, and the reconquista really only started in earnest after the big muslim state fell apart due to internal issues and there was a power vacuum. They were slow to adopt a strong crusading identity but they made up for lost time in America.
>>
Soltau in 1519 is cited as the last conflict where the medieval knight was of major consequence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Soltau#:~:text=The%20Battle%20of%20Soltau%20(German,%22%20(Die%20letzte%20Ritterschlacht).

That's pretty early on in the Ottoman tenure. Now of course heavy cavalry remained relevant going forward to well onto the fucking 1815. But by the time of taking Constantinople it's not the 1300s anymore. Cerignola also showed the death of the knight being of major consequence. And at this point and time the ottomans feared the east far more than they did the West - why bother imitating the people you're beating handedly (At this point) when you are facing existential threats to the east?

Al-Andalus did so because they were so far removed from the Ottomans they had no reason to adopt their practices. Which meant either Western European or Berber.

Why EJ2000?

Its nowhere near the thrust figures needed for the actual GCAP fighter. It maxes out sound 25,000-30,000lbf of thrust, afaik Japan was targeting a minimum of about 40,000lbf with a design goal of just barely beating the F-135 engine (43,000lbf) at 44,000lbf.

Unless they've completely overhauled EJ2000 to almost double the thrust potential.

VAL has terrible ballistics. They wanted to have a bigger and heavier 9mm bullet, but keep it sub-sonic so it really doesn't have that much gunpowder to it.
The bullets drop like stones after first 75-100m.

That's a bit too short of a distance, as most firefights happen anywhere between 100-300 meters. It's almost like trying to have a long-gun distance firefight while using .45 ACP ballistics. And the whole "quiet gun" thing doesn't really make sense because you are in A FIREFIGHT. once bullets start flying, it gets noisy very quickly and the whole quiet concept goes out of the window.

It is a very niche "first-strike" gun which doesn't really have a place in a army-vs-army trench warfare situation. it might be "ok" in very specific special forces scenarios, but... other than that, a standard AK/AR will just serve you better.

There's not much to really make it any better than something like and MP5SD, which if you're dealing with things in close is going to be good out to about 100m or so
