GogBot , look at the cost . 1.42 bill for 50 Su30K , and of which Russians being good friend ,simply replaced first 18 instead of upgrading . Compare eurofighter only 18 to be purchased at 120mill a piece. They wont replace them ,we have to upgrade them ourselves to save cost . Customized...

Now since you have brought up those questions , Do some google on lines I am giving What is the role of Alenia ( an Italian Carbon-composite air wing manufacture company) and its export to India. Where does aviation grade Aluminium comes from Why there is JV btw India and Russia (...

Time is one thing which Enemy is not giving us , cost if MoD is ready . why waste 3 years like we did for MKI to develop a customized version . If they cant see beyond IL-78 to see the benefits of A330 , i doubt money being spent like UAE does . Mig21,27 have crossed their expiry date /...

Everyone has same architecture , Mil1553std buses . First of all Russians would never agree , second we have bear the cost if at all possible to convince Moscow .

Dear flanker Yes we can , but who will integrate them and who who will bear the cost . If IAF takes it upon itself , cost+expertise is one thing . We need software API / Source codes of Radar , Wepaon control computer , Modular central processor etc everything . In case of Rafale - even...

Eft if funded or developed , nothing comes closer . None of others except Mig35 can come close to flight performance and T/W ratio of Eurofighter . Problem is its swash-plate AESA / A2G weapons Rafle currently is underpowered , but still is better multi-role than Eurobird . One it has...

1) Back and side- Lobes 2) High Duty cycle to minimize difference between Peak-Power and Avg Power 3) LPI mode of operation Actually , they can not sustain that much peak-power . Only possible when you have Main beam like this one - But real main beam is like this - with that many...

gambit. How is that done/achieved safely ? ? . How much part virtual simulation plays .

PESA radar - You must be referring to Bars-29 offered with M2/mrca , Mig29K only have Zhuk-M (which is MSA) 4 times lower RCS - This is just speculation , 4 times what - in dB or m2 . With Russians assume it with pinch of salt Karthic - I think your query has been answered well .

Real good news on this front , Problems that I was talking about time back that held up signing the Phased- JV with Russians seems like over . India may well advance with FGFA without signing up any more JV agreement Russian-Indian work on 5G fighter to go ahead without extra deal |...
