If you are talking about limited range due to excess weight, am providing here a detailed response to media coverage of LCA Mk1 https://delhidefencereview.com/2020/05/17/removing-some-fallacies-about-the-capabilities-of-the-lca-tejas-fighter/ LCA Mk1 LSP weighed 7.5 tons due to carrying...

You are right, sorry I think I mixed up numbers. S400 can go upto 98000 ft it seems

Can you provide any source for this? AS much as I searched for same, all I can find is that Vikram lander has a NASA instrument onboard called passive laser retroreflector array. Its aim is to study Moon's atmosphere mostly. NASA on the other hand has certainly helped by providing telemetry...

Pragyaan rover rolling out Hope more footage is publicized soon

I still remember that Chinese reported only about 83000 change Covid cases during the height, and few thousand deaths if my memory serves right. Incredible feat at ground zero

We have DSN facility built, located at Bayalalu. https://www.aerospaceinindia.org/idsn-campus/ NASA's DSN however is much wider in coverage, given its facilities spread across the globe. California USA, Madrid Spain, Canberra Australia. This ensures that the telemetry is continuous given...

Oh they certainly are, you can check the media programs and videos on youtube. Everywhere People are rejoicing this as Indian achievement (media, other platforms etc), rather than BJP or Modi achievement. No one is saying its Modi who did it, everyone is praising ISRO and interviewing Mr...

There is nothing smart here The system set up when no other country was to that level, is being leveraged by West. However let's not forget that, the greatest of Empires of have fallen to dust over time. Its a unwritten rule of Universe, everything has three phases. Growth, Pinnacle and...

Usually mid air refuellers are for long term flights If the Chinese use the bases which are under 500 Km in distance to our borders, these assets can be targeted by long range missiles. I guess that's what he means However given the terrain target acquistion will be hard for both sides. So...

Kya Imran bhai, why you want to leave? Even if you are having this kind of mental crisis, you can stick around for the community here no? You are member here from long time. What has PDF done wrong, stay around bhai.

Yes and I am hoping we ramp up our AEW and radar coverage on that front, in addition to inducting combat platforms as well to make up for numbers. Chinese numbers are far larger than ours, and we can't focus all our assets on the Eastern front in case of war. We have to take care of both East...

I agree and this means, we need to get sufficient amount of potent surveillance platforms there. AEW systems have to be inducted in good number by us, as that border is pretty long. We can't be sure of the ingress points due to this, and the terrain will make it hard for radars to detect on...

I am not clear on the point you are trying to make here, can you please clarify on below: Are you talking about ground based radars or AWACS here, and of which side Indian or Chinese and for what kind of operation? Since the airport is wedged in mountains, our radars can't make out equally like...

The problem with full load take off at those altitudes, is the limited range a aircraft will suffer due to fuel burn. This however can be mitigated by air refuellers. I don't remember where, but I did see that PLAAF is inducting air refuellers in good numbers. Mk1A is simply not suited for this...

I think Chinese have far more bases my friend, check the link below. https://swarajyamag.com/politics/chinese-airfields-in-and-around-tibet-a-geographical-overview Ngari Gunsa is the nearest and fully operational.

True Mig 29 and Jaguars have been upgraded to make sure, they operate well beyond 2035. This was done to make sure, we get the Mk2 in good number by then given the delay it saw. My original post giving numbers, was to make the point that Mk1A in good numbers are needed which @migflug was...

https://www.wdmma.org/indian-air-force.php Let me get back on the second part shortly

The 260 or 261 is open source number, IAF has lost aircraft due to various reasons bringing the actual number down to about 240 plus. Well what you wrote above for Eastern side, is what I mentioned in much simpler terms. The problems you mention China will face, will be faced by us as well...

Actually we need to see our current feet composition, to see where they fit 242 - Su30 MKI std 132 - Mig21 Bis std supposed to be phased out by 2025 130 - Jaguar M/S std start to retire from 2027 - 2028 - by 2035 66 - Mig 29 UPG std start to retire from 2027 - 2028 - by 2035 45 - M2000H/I std...
