Rustom 1 is a joke as no one has actually seen it since being tested at around 2009.
Rustom 2 will be first tested in 2014!!!just imagine how many more years will it take for it to be actually operational!!
And ppl actually think that we will make aura in this decade,,,,stop deluding urself...
Even i am more in favour of ssk than ssbn due to noise issue but scorpenes are not a good platform for second strike capability..............even akulas are not for the matter as indian leased akulas lack any long ranged weapons!!!so whats the use of this??
Useless,pathetic condition..............just privatize the shipyards and see the benefits in 2 years time
At the current rate of negotiations i am not even sure we will sign a contract before 2020 let alone induction before the period
Only solution is-------get more scorpenes off shelf with...
Rustom 1 dosen't have this capability as its max payload capacity is 95 kg
Rustom-2 will have the capability for weaponisation but how much wiil it carry since its payload limit is just paltry 350 km
I think drdo should just shut up and actually make something instead of making only loud claims
U are right about upgrade progra,no doubt but pls understand this,,,,,niip can keep on claiming anything but i have posted few links before and all point to zhuk-ae upgrade as its in testing right now
Whatever u wrote now is in a magazine cutting(go to page 1 section on radars)
The basic diff...
Retail in fdi will bring only peanuts while bringing up the import bill significantly.And after walmart has refused to source 30 % of the expendible stuff like milk,meat etc from india govt has lowered this limit to like 20%(not sure,pls clarify someone).........i am not too sure what purpose...
U don't know how current account deficit works......simple
1)It is ballooning due to huge amount of imports and falling exports and not only on policy paralysis(which also contributes)
2)Indian contract negotiations are the worst in the world,can u even deny that
On ur hey day u cn do whatever...
There is no need to be overtly negative.
The low growth is due to(pls read and comment)
1)policy paralysis of govt as govt has not passed any law on
a)pension reform
b)insurance...
I AHVE EXPLAINED U SO MANY TIMES THAT
1)Due to the depleting squadrons we must induct fast and leave all these whims and fancies
2)mmrca is already too late for this govt as this is election year and govt is unlikely to sanction it...........if it does well and good
3(there is no guarantee...
U are right in intent but some facts are wrong
1)we are not pursuing any 2 seat version now and are going with single seat version now
2)russian pakfa enters serial production starting 2016 not 2018
Russian air forces will get Sukhoi T-50 (PAK FA) in 2016 – InSerbia News
3)Hal is...
let me help u here a bit
1)the only improvement that bars can undergo is software......................and a pesa cannot be upgraded to an aesa as both are fundamentally diff just like a pulse doppler radar cannot be 'upgraded to pesa'!!!
It can only be 'replaced ' by a diff...
Why don't u ppl get it that russian pakfa will be inducted in 2014 and i am not at all against rafale
Considering the enoromous delay i am sceptical whether the deal will be signed next year or not................as we have elections in 2014 and govt is not willing to sign contracts in this...
No most probably we will be going for product 117s engine of su-35 s which in turn is upgraded al-31f..........so i guess u are right!!
Oh whoa.........sitting duck!!
The upgradation u are saying will take 5-10 years as
1)bars pesa has hardware limit(how much more can u stretch it)
2)the aesa u are proposing dosen't even exist on paper,heck pakfa aesa will be ready only in 2015!!
What till then??
And regarding mig-29 i have already explained that its...
But don't forget paf f-16 had no bvr capability then ................Now scenario has changed,my only contention being we should have spent atleast 10 million more per aircraft and it would have brought the aircraft to a new standard and cost us like only 600 million more!!!not enough
my the...
Yes the sole purpose of this debate was to expose the claims of ppl who think that our fighter have a qualitative superiority over pakistan and china because this analysis shows we don't.
Who's to blame
1)IAF itself should have realized that we are operating 60 obsolete mig's wrt to...
See I KNOW ALL THESE THINGS BUT
Both the zhuk m and mse are of the same oem ie PHAZOTRON NIIR
So its logical to assume that a pulse doppler radar will be inferior to a pesa...............assuming that both are made by same company!!!
And yes things like gain and all are important but we are...
