I think only way the situation will improve is to have healthy competition for each and every task like upgradation of migs/mirage/ MMRCA IJT or scorpene. There needs to be a composite and pragmatic long term roadmap from Saint/MOD with clarity of policies for private sector to invest. The...

Gentleman from IDF ( Picdelamirand-oil ) Posted this... It will be the most advanced mirage 2000 ever developed even more advanced than the UAE Mirage 2000-9. 1) India will have the ICMS mk4 EW suite even more advanced than the UAE and the greek and which was already regarded as very...

Looks interesting... First they asked for extension to Nov 2013 and now they are confident that they can complete by Sep 13. If ADA had followed this approach earlier then LCA would have been in Service.

Thanks... Weight mentioned seems to be closer to what Ajay shukla mentioned earlier. The LCA’s designers say that the removal of telemetry instrumentation, which is essential during flight testing, will bring the Tejas’ weight down by as much as 300-400 kilos. Re-engineering some of...

Hi, Prasun da has mentioned that the the Helmet integrate is ELBIT Systems-built TARGO HMDS. Earlier reports were DASH. Can anyone let us know which one is integrated? Also please let us know about TARGO HMDS as little info is available on this HMDS. TX

HMS is : Sh-3UM-1 Helmet Mounted Integrated Targeting system - According to Defunct Humanity: MiG-29UPG detailes

Hi The Upgrade details are given here TRISHUL: IAF's MiG-29UPG Upgrade Package Detailed Seems to be pretty decent upgrade :)

Its not Pressure cooking, just trying to show whats being reported in the week of its biggest achievement. May be our media needs to behave in a more mature way. Chill guys...

Hey Guys the below report says he Tejas is touted as a fly-by-wire system; that is, one that uses sophisticated computer electronics to make it as foolproof as possible. A fly-by-wire aircraft normally has four circuits for each connection, meaning even if one circuit to the landing gear fails...

.:: MiG-LFI / I-2000 ::. There is not much info available on this

The Per unit cost of Super hornet looks very interesting at 94 Million, also Raptor at 355 m$. I always thought SH was relatively cheaper but that doesnt seems to be the case :(

The biggest reason why they are doing cockpit redesign is to reduce weight of the aircraft by at-least 300-400KGs --> According to Ajay shukla. Of-coarse this will also help is removing obsolete stuff in the cockpit.

Can't we get our MKI's do the same job? My understanding is SU 34 does not offer anything extra in terms of weapons load or long distance endurance. Not sure about the RCS of this baby when compared to MKI :). Thanks Sri.

Ideally yes, AC itself cannot be of much use, it needs support from subs, destroyers, frigates etc to form a Battle group.

The bolded part is not making sense at all to me and these numbers have cropped couple of times. do they mean striking the fighters at sea level at mach 1.2 to 1.4? Tx Sri

I agree with you to some extent and I believe the success of LCA now solely depends on what they are bringing to the table with MK2 version like better t/w, weapon load, LO design, internal fuel , AESA etc I believe ADA & HAL should get it dead right for the survival of LCA PG or it might remain...

This looks really interesting :cheers:

Most of todays aircrafts go much faster than that, so it may be only for chasing and not for killing :what::cry:

It looks like a strealth fighter, and they wanted a stealth fighter as a trainer :what:, anyway it looks great. what we are going to get is only its technologies anyway not the aircraft so does make it all that interesting.

Brahmos -2 I believe the range cannot go beyond 500 KM because international arms restrictions - MTCR restrictions ( Since its a JV ) Tx Sri
