Stunning cockpits . Thanks Flaming Arrow Esp Dhruv . Reminds me Dhruv will be having tandem seat . While LCH one back of the other . Tejas has great cockpit , look at the fully digital cockpit theory . Miles ahead of Su-30MKI which has so many Analogue dials.

So now its Thunderbolt and Blackjack . Why not Sr-71 and B52 , perhaps Obama can give us some discount from National Museum archives .

There is a difference between Air-Superiority and Air-Dominance . Fulcrum can never be for Dominance :no: When you dominate an Air-space means that your air-craft fly streamlined without any danger around you over whole Air-space , neutralizing any ground assets remaining . When you dominate...

^^^ Sancho , the prices of UAE and BRAZIL are different for many reasons . 1- UAE operates large nos of Mirage 2000-9 with many Rafale subsystem on it It might be possible that they have large inventory of DAMOCLES Targeting POD and MICA,Black Apache and various A2S missile in store already, we...

Go thru the last line of my post . And yes , I agree Prices will be less . But how much we don't know. Even of remaining 108 jets , some will come in SDK (semi-knocked down kits) which will be assembled by HAL only , not built . Boeing said 18-F18 in Flyaway + 36 in SDK + Rest with...
