DTN News: Eurofighter Woos Buyers For 10 Billion Euro Order
Gripen NG with 10 stations , excellent T/W ratio and 6000Kg armament ,lower operational cost during lifetime , cheap cost upfront . + + + +
A true winner at such lower cost
Karthic ,
What you are saying is true when you compare Gripen with SH and Rafale .
But for MRCA , air-force is not there to compare jets with each other
Trials are there to select Fighters which meet minimum ASR/QSR requirements .
Euro-fighter might be best in all aspects and beats everyone...

Yeah , I went to AFMC ( Armed Forces Medical College ) for my MBBS degree and training .
We doctors don't go to IMA , we go to AMC center for MOBC training before going to Field posting .

Hi , Mauryan

Source plz , of 1m2 .
On f16.net some claim F16E has 1.6m2 as its Frontal sector RCS in X band .

Could be , I said let's wait for mail .
By the way PAF-F16 Block52 RCS source plz .
And just to explain - I am not against LCA ,

Trust air-force ,
After studying every report and origin of sub-system . Guarantee of spare-parts , performance against the req of air-force . The best three will be chosen and of those lowest bidder will win .
low radar echo, which is one third of that of

To confirm my point , i have written mail to air-fleet . Get back to you as...
