I have my reservations regarding participation of AdA with Rafale this time . I read reports just now that Rafale were not the part of joint exercise , and will be part of formation for next edition of exercise Garuda11 To add more regarding BARS radar The smaller L band antennae on BARS...

Sri , AIM-132 ASRAAM is short-range while AIM-120 AMRAAM is BVR missile If you are talking about AIM120 c/D , it would never be part of Mirage package . India never sought any info on it , neither any interest was shown . Simple reason being , France/MBDA wont allow it to happen . Even if it...

Simply one thing - You get the Best fighter with Technology but straight no-no to technology behind fighter itself .

TVC for light -fighters is absolutely unnecessary . I don't get the point of TVC , With modern WVR missile like R73/Python/Aim9x having TVC , high-off bore sight and pulling over high Gs , what is that thing Air-craft c an achieve but this missile can not . If your missile is giving that...

Sure Buddy Let me make it as simple as possible What Mig29 has is 4 under each wing hard-point and 1 Centerline Ventral hard-point . In total 9 Hard-points , of which 2 inboard ones + 1 centerline can carry 1500L drop-tanks . Buddy , what we mean by 13 store-stations is Double weapons...

There it is - For possible upgrade / http://www.defence.pk/forums/india-defence/52286-fiscal-year-nears-end-ministry-defence-quietly-signs-big-bang-deals.html#post761302 That is m2000-5 package , Indian version will differ slightly And Here is missile pricing -...

I think , few months back DMLA and I discussed that Mirage package , Let me search and pull it up . Mirage package has significant amount of weapons package as well MICA+ASRAAM / A2S And Kinetic - When you compare the cost of Avionics , Displays - Russians always provide very competitive...

That's true Kinetic , M2k leads in Multi-role But BVR operation in Mirage is limited by MICA which is out-ranged by R77 , and that too by some margin . T/W ratio of Mig29 will be better in all envelope , since Mirage is not getting Engine upgrade Frontal OLS and Archer+ HMD combo with...

Too much is hidden between the lines - How come every ACM and air-force official echo same feelings Same question's remain unanswered ACM -------------------------- ADA --------------------------- . Someone is lying Big-time . Its time we see both sides of coin , we have only seen one...

Pneumbra IAF mig29 have only clocked airframe life of roughly 3500-3000 Hours . Russian engineer's did FSFT on Mig29B model {Full-Scale Fatigue Testing (FSFT)} and found that air-frame life of almost 2500 hours is left. IAF decided to get TTLE Total Technical Life Enhancement (TTLE) since...

Trident - IAF never had Mig29S , we always had Mig29B in different batches . NATO uses A/B/C as version while Russians used Bort 12 / Bort 13 designation and of the Russians is correct to follow Many enhancements - First lets look at the shortcoming of previous Mig29-B-12s a) RD33 and Short...

Sancho Is it one year old or latest article ? ? ?. Interesting , and Mirage was the original choice that IAF always wanted .

Mani , That is old specs . Replace it with this newer one Taimi , can you post specs of data-links on Thunder . TIDLS on Gripen is Link16 , so specs are easy to find like (Data rate transfer on TIDLS is 115.2 Kb/sec, Band of operation , Range etc ) I tried google.pk and google.cn ...

Sir , Really great posts and information on last two pages .

^ :tup: , Agreed . i am in no mood to write another post . Euro-fighter is best choice , :cheers:

Sir and you forget the Doctors on Field .

Hi , Mani Just to add , there was conference in Linköping, Sweden about Gripen . If you missed it i can post some update . Below is latest update on Gripen NG They have increased combat load to 7200 Kg New weapon stations New landing gear

Correction Replace Kabul with ***** Air Base, Gran Canaria And F22 vs Rafale , rafale only lossing once while F22 more , complete B.S . Some French or Rafale Fanbyoz can accept that , no one else in sane mind would . I think should call up Gambit to blow of Rafale victory's

^^^^ GogBot , what you are saying shows your inclination and bias towards getting Eurofighter . Why wait/spent so much resource and time on incomplete platform , get the tested platform like Gripen/Rafale . Save additional amount/ time, for FGFA/MCA . Same case applies to Rafale as well...
