AURA: India's UCAV Programme Friday, June 11, 2010. Deep inside a non-descript building in Bangalore’s Vimanapura area, Indian military scientists are working hard to define the country’s first unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), one of India’s least known government-sponsored defence...

With a Su-30MKI modified to carry the Brahmos, that is actually possible! :yahoo:

I don't know for sure, but won't this increase deployment time and costs? Experts are free to comment...

Here I agree with you. Why? Because the MiG-25 is an "interceptor" and the F-15 is an "air-superiority fighter".

This is 2010, not 2000. So you'll only be 59 by 2040.

India-Russia fail to sign additional protocol on 5th-gen stealth fighter 19 June 2010 Russia's Sukhoi design bureau director general, Mikhail Pogosyan, has confirmed that India and Russia have decided not to sign additional agreements to create a joint venture for the production of a...

How about this scenario: SAM sites close to the border are destroyed with the help of ballistic or cruise missiles. Supported by AEWACS (which remain on our side of the border) the Su-30MKI's escort our Mirages on strike missions destroying key bridges, roads, radar installations and...

If anyone wants to discuss anything further about MiGs, F-15s or SR-71s, please post in the related thread or make a new one. Please don't deviate from the topic at hand.

This is what i wrote: That does not necessarily imply that the F-15 program began before US intelligence found that the soviets were building the MiG-25. The USAF just changed their requirements. As far as I know, there is no proof to state that the USAF changed their requirements before the...

Firing nukes is not as easy as you think. This would lead to huge diplomatic pressure and a slew of sanctions. Firing nukes from one side would provoke the other to retaliate with their own nukes. This fear of a full fledged thermo-nuclear war is enough to prevent both sides from using nukes...

Negotiations for Tejas aircraft engines soon The Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) is set to start commercial negotiations with aircraft engine makers Eurojet Turbo GmbH and General Electric Aviation for 99 aircraft engines for the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas. The two engine...

Eurojet offers dual-use engine for LCA Eager to join hands with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and its associates in the development of India's Light Combat Aircraft ‘Tejas-Mark II,' the Eurojet consortium is offering its engine that could be tweaked to work on its...

Negotiations for Tejas aircraft engines soon The Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) is set to start commercial negotiations with aircraft engine makers Eurojet Turbo GmbH and General Electric Aviation for 99 aircraft engines for the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas. The two engine...

That has a very low probability of happening. If Russia were to supply arms to Pakistan, then China has an opportunity to access more Russian tech and possibly copy it. Russians are already furious with the Chinese for copying their flankers. I doubt they will be willing to make the same mistake...

GTRE to Test Kaveri Engine India’s first indigenously made jet engine ‘Kaveri’ is all set for a test flight next month. According to the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE), the nodal laboratory for this program, the ‘Kaveri’ jet engine has finished all...

Do you feel that way because of the problems faced by LCA? The LCA had many delays because it was the first time anything like this was attempted in India. But HAL and DRDO has gained valuable experience from the LCA project and the infrastructure for the AMCA project is already in existance. We...

This has probably been done so that manuverability and other abilities are not compromised. The AMCA will never enter the battle field alone. With aerial refuelling, the range of any aircraft can be increased to a great extent. There is also an option of carrying fuel in external tanks which can...

The AMCA together with Su-30MKI, MRCA (hopefully Rafale) and LCA will complement the PAK FA. It will replace Jaguars and MiG-27s which will be reaching the end of their service times. Since we will have the PAK FA for air superiority roles, the AMCA is likely to be a multi-role aircraft, but...

This has been discussed and debunked so many times, I lost count!!! Since you are still stubbornly sticking to your ill-informed views, I feel there is no point in discussing this further. I feel that you should first have atleast a basic knowledge of what you are debating. For basics, I...

Can anyone please tell me the status of Rafale's AESA?
