Some one stop this picture posting plz , I am curious who was this Einstein Analyst .

Desi , meanwhile enjoy "The Joke of the Day"

Benny , we dont operate Su-27 . And Jaguar's are performing splendidly . No need to replace them in near future . Kindly ask for source before getting excited , he has quoted even nos 48

Yes and don't rule out possibility of F22 replacing Jaguar's , and B2 replacing Canberra sqn :hitwall::hitwall::hitwall::lol::lol::lol::lol::P:P

That analyst must be from Strategy page or Free Republic forum. If anyone analyses this , he definitely is anything but Defence Analyst Even a civilian can analyze things better than this

With Due Respect Sir, Plz try to refrain from providing such details of War-Planning and Operational Doctrine of Services . Regards

No , its important Sancho . Even if LCA wouldn't had become success, atleast it gave us platform and some working industral base to work for indigenous products . Look at the contribution of LCA is shaping up Su30. LCA navy even if not , inducted will help us in experience for developing a...

Sancho L.M worked quite a bit on in 90's on LCA and its system's testing. Most probably it was reluctance on part of l.m to assist more than Russians, that HAL went with them . L.M worldwide have done lot of work in assisting and record as technical assistant is quite good - whether its in...

It will depend on numbers ordered and any further modifications You are confusing the eventual cost with the developmental cost , Developmental cost will always be high bcoz many Program's run through decades and cost-overruns . Perfect example is F35 , daly we have news of Cost overruns...

I would be very grateful to anyone , who can give some figures for that data-links . Like- Name or the company behind it Speed for Uplink and down-link Range of operation Any one working in ISRO , or connections in ISRO Thnx

No , i never meant vertical take off or vertical landing for LCA. I was describing the version of F35 , only B has that feature while F35 c has catapult launch . F35b has capability to vertical take off or short take off , while recovery can be either vertical or arrested . As was offered to...

No , its not , You mean to say those intakes are insufficient for air-flow to compressor fans during super-sonic flight and that is compensated by those LERX . I dont think so , neither have heard anything like that. If Sukhoi designers would have felt Air-pressure drop inside they would have...

Boeing, Dassault have always designed aircraft with Catapult assisted launch , not STOL variant , all their fighters have been twin Engined with effective thrust for that Take-off. In case of N-LCA , it was similar to F35b version with STOVL variant and landing and L.M had experience of both...

Thats not true - Upgrade package involves Significant Weapons . MICA is costly weapon so is ASRAAM , A2G weapon of France is also costly. and importantly upgrade have many spin-offs from Rafale like the ICMS-3 and navigation + Targeting equipment . Mig29 upgrade is costing 20mill a piece and...

No Mirages during Kargil were operational no-doubt but never took-off from LEH. It was Mig29 only which took off from Leh with near minimal load , some say it was Srinagar or Avantipur Try and see video on youtube abt Air-force describing Kargil operations , i posted that link in LGB's testing...

No Taimi , Engine performance is not the factor . I also thought that initially but its a different case . And Tejas is underpowered if you take the performance of Ge404 If you look at the T/W ratio of all jets with meaningful combat load ( 60-70% int fuel and 3BVR+2Wvr missile +2 A2S weapon+...

^^^^^^^^ Hi ptldM3 , you have flown Jet yourself Mig if I am not wrong . What do you make of this smooth take off in video ??? Engines smoke trail - Hardly see any trace during inflight

^^^^^^ Yup , correct . I think it had more to do with testing of Flying control surfaces and nFCS onboard this machine . So might be possible this is the first time Nozzles were deviated . LEVCONS/LERX are so huge , i never imagined them so huge , even covering front intakes part

Sancho , thanks for clarification Like you to post that Paveway links here for benefit of others. And regarding your Analysis, its quite on the same line i believe MRCA will go But one thing i would disagree i dont see Eurofighter having a chance more than Rafale . It always will be toss...
