The thing which i am trying to explain here is ... we dont know what requirement will be there after 10-15 yrs... if we think Rafale can solve all the problem of the threat perception that is arising in next 10 -15 yrs then we are wrong... Rafale is a immediate requirement to fill the gaps... if...
As of defence field is considered ... there is no concept called requirement.. you take a living bird.. train them.. that can do some job that is useful for military a doctrine will be created around it... AMCA may not look like a requirement now ... but (if ) developed it will find a place...
First of all the logic is whether it can carry a pay load to GTO... secondly there is no mandatory to carry this much of tons to this orbit... If it carries a one ton pay load to the required orbit and that one ton solves the problem it is considered as success...
So the question should be...
You have to be open and need lot of deep thinking if you think you really mean what you say... Secondly you need to define what you mean lead the world?? leading the world in common context is totally different.. US' jobs , economics etc are not coming to india like donating something to beggar...
wanted to add more on the excellent work.. There are more than 60 operating Air bases and Army bases which stores lot of weapons...
Secondly on some of the members doubts on the forward bases.. most of the good weapons are stored away from bases ... While the forward bases will host mostly...
Disagree .... J&K is not another country it is part of India.. there are lot of Kashmirs who hold Indian Passport and work every where ... it is *** which has to be returned back to India.. However Pakistan try it is nearly impossible to get what India holds.. even if it takes another million...
As far as Open source is considered... BM are like sling ... you form the trajectory ... put a boot phase , Mid course guidance.. and Re entry Terminal guidance.. During the first 2 phase the use guidance system so that the missile is on course with the trajectory ... if the Boost phase , Mid...
Getting a 5th Gen cockpit into Tejas MK2 is different from making a MK2 to a 5th Gen Stealth Fighter... MK2 will have new panoramic cockpit which will go into AMCA hopefully :)
As far as i am considered... MKI has more advantage both in WVR and long range engagement.. It is definitely a better bet for deep strike option... Rafale is good in avionics and maintenance ... where as MKI doesnt win in this area.. with super upgrade though it will upgrade its armaments both...
I agree with you... But we have to be careful in investing in infrastructure also.. we shouldn't over invest and get goofed up.. Countries like China, Japan, Dubai etc have done lot of goof up... infrastructure is needed but to the right proportion.... but what is more needed is encouraging...
I guess dude .. what Skull and Bones said is right.. AWACS is a force multiplier.. while Martian is using AWACS with J-10 and IAF Rafale alone will not be a match.. so unless J-10 is firing in no escape zone and if J-10 missile range+no-escape zone is greater than MICA missile on Rafale.. Rafale...
Epic Failure ... If you are the pilot then thank god we survived...
basically if you need to fire a missile then enemy have to be in the no escape zone.... (i.e.) < 70% of the missile range.. For (e.g.) R-77 has a range of 80 KM in certain altitude.. it means MKI cannot fire when it at 80 KM...
Failed in all levels .... Rafale speed and missile and service ceiling is alone not the parameter that adds to kill..
Firstly Service Ceiling refers to highest altitude in clean configuration.. J-10 flying at high altitude doesnt mean it can carry missile even at that level.. Secondly J-10...
Adaptive camouflage is only in the infra red bandwidth ... While you are right on the indigenous capability.. but it is the maximum that could be extracted from the indian industries and allocated fund.. you cant expect a golden egg from a country chicken .....
Secondly western industries...
you have lot of wet dreams.... kid come back to forum after a decade then you will understand what you mean by war... it is not easy for either of us to wage a war.... War is a distant dream now.. if it had been as easy cake as you talk a war would have happened long time back... and AP would...
