Then you must understand, that the prime reason to add the radar is to increase the situational awareness, by being able to search, detect and ID targets at longer ranges. Giving guidance for weapons is if at all only a side effect, but not important, since most weapons on these helicopters...

How so? The NDA has taken the same limits that the UPA2 government stated in their interim budgets too. It's not like they have aimed at a far higher reduction of the deficit. FDI was a necessary step, just as the tax reform is, but as you can see on the market and the industry, that alone was...

I'm not saying there are fudged, just that one have to see them in the right perspective! If we say the new calculation system is correct and from now on we calculate with 8% it's fine, but that doesn't mean that the economy has grown for 2% in the last year. That's why I'm saying that there is...

LCA squads have 4 x twin seaters if I'm not wrong, but they are not just trainers, but fully fledged combat aircrafts, far more capable than the Hawks.

Exactly and both are part of the new calculation system, which is why you have to look at the given figures with caution and in relation to the base... ...because the GDP is not moving double digit on economic base, only on basis of the the new calculation system! Economical improvement is...

So the raise is not because of improved economic situation, but because of the new calculation system. More interesting will be what the forcasts say after the budget was announced, because that shows what economical improvements can be expected and how far the government want to go to push the...

It's indirect because he doesn't specify who he means, nor did he dared to openly get those that supports him, but causes such issues in line and as long as he doesn't show openly some strength against the trouble maker within the BJP and RSS, his statements remain vague.

Over decades, which were replaced with newer once, IAF currently has just 6 x squadrons of Jaguars and they will be upgraded and not replaced anytime soon. It don't have to be at 2 places, since you need less fighters, which means you send the additional fighters for other strike missions...

That's still unlcear from what we know in public and to be honest I still fail to understand the logic so far. If they are widen the fuselage and adding fairings besides the air intakes to fit the modified gears to the NLCA, they could had done the same with the airforce version too. It still...

That's the issue right? I mean we are happy to see the PM take a stand openly, but still we have the feeling that it's more a political move why? Maybe because he chose his statements only at certain timings, like recently when he criticized the attacks on churches in Delhi, at a conference...

Please post polictical topics in the related section!

True, but the AESA again is not solving LCAs problems or will be a game changer. It adds capability compared to the puls doppler MMR, but won't add a single more payload to the fighter, because the limited hardnumbers are the more crucial problem. That's one reasons why the navy is forced to go...

So we have reduced the myth to 100 now, but still you fail to understand that Darin 3 is meant to keep them operational beyond 2025, not to mention that we have kept producing Jags till 2008, which means that a good part of them is pretty new and far far away of the replacement you are talking...

Why would you provide cover, for a trainer, when you can do the same for an LCA MK1 or a Jag, that both have far better CAS capabilities? Why would you provide cover for a trainer, when an upgraded Mig 29 can do the strike itself, while being fully able to defend itself? Why would you take away...

Here is a hint from the Gripen E: And here why Swedish Air Force will not go for the NG display: So it's neither plug and play as you might think, nor is it necessarily the best solution, only because it's new. Does the displays somehow add more sensors to the LCA, to improve SA? And how...

Who said that cockpit was meant for LCA? Only the nonsense statements of DRDO officials about 5th gen avionics and that's BS. The fact of the matter is, that you need to re-design the complete cockpit to implement it, which logically is much more difficult and costly, than replacing MFD's with...

There is no comparison of the Hawk to any fighter, all the Hawk can is carrying external loads and droping them, but that doesn't make it to able to carry the same loads, have the same radar or avionics capabilities, or even the same countermeasures, since it's only purpose is training pilots.

I'm happy that they didn't went that way as DRDO planned, since the only purpose would had been to show off, especially in the low end fighter of the fleet. These larger MFD's will be an improvement too, far more cost-effective and easier to implement.
