To make it clear.. what is the cost of the Fighter plane ?... As far as open source is concerned.. it is (development cost+manufacturing cost)/CAP order.....
so if the European members get the EFT for $140 million ... it will be the above cost... further they would have seeded money initially...
dont you think in war crew comfort is more important.. expensive and maintance comes next... Since it is India maintaining it... the job will be perfectly be carried out right?
IA did operate... but i "guess" the operation efficiency of the modern T-90 is much better than that... T-90 with its new upgrade out matches the centurion thats the reluctant.. T-90's sleekness and robustness has actually impressed IA..
@nabil the reason why you find Arjun slow and alkhalid is fast because.. Arjun's speed was shot from helis whose relative speed may not be known.. while your Alkhalid was shot from ground..
Actually he is not entirely right.. one of the main reason for the IA lack was the doctrine was prepared with T-72 and T-90.. thats why there was a upgrade plan on T-72... If Arjun had to inducted then a new doctrine has to be forumulated.. its another big process.. this the main reason for IA...
Last i heared F-16 and Mig-29 locked each othere and F-16 breaked the pursiut.. so the logic you are explaining that F-16 is kept on ground for spare parts is totaly hilarious ... F-16 breaked it because they didnt have missile to take the advantage.. where as Mig-29 did.. that is the reason...
Yeah for the loss of the Aircraft because they miscalculated and have lost the precious life... which is why IAF officers got demoted.. secondly PAF was kept on dark BS... they where flying sorties.. because Mig-29 was there with R-77 they actually couldnt give support to there own men and each...
You know what in Kargil most of the weapons used where from American origin.. secondly F-16 birds where not part of the war... fearing Mig-29... We underestimated the seriousness initially but the skill employed by IAF and IA helped us win...
What makes you think electronics are absolute in SU-30.. if Vietnam doesnt have them doesnt mean SU-30 electronics are bad... secondly vietnam MK-2 are maritime strike aircraft.. they dont have features like a multirole aircraft... so what is the big deal in it?.. and if China used AWACS in...
@Darky ... Logically to see with SU MK2 it is impossible for Vietnams to defend themselves .. Chinese on the other hand have AWACS ... If J-10 took lock 10 times is no big deal because they knew the radar frequency and tactics.. in addition to it MK2 is not air superiority but a strike aircraft...
IranZamin dude... India was paying money through all loops holes for the oil.. which even Iran understands... If the loop holes are closed Iran has to do trading some way? isnt ... If India defaults you can complain.. but India is not defaulting wantedly....
Secondly on isolation... Your...
Exactly ... MK2 will be a real prove of worth... with more internal fue( by god grace if they could add upto 1200l) with 2 drop tanks of 1200l with a Brahmos in the center pylon(yeah i know my dream).. and Pythons on all six hardpoints(if 2 more hard points added)... This will really take the...
^^^ yeah i was also observing the same ...Are all the 3 tanks are 1200 Litre?? ... everything looks of same size... and look very big not sure it is 800 or 1200 litre... but yes we need to increase the hard points..
First there are two things.. First one for (e.g.) EADS sells EFT like (Total developmentcost+ noofplanestoproduced*planecost)/noofplanestoproduced say = $140million... which means countries like UK,Germany etc... will pay so much for each plane.. while they had paid upfront so much of money...
Another one here ... who is talking about poverty lol.. you guys cant stop right.. you know LCA will be a headache.. especially when vietnam is armed with it
What is the motive behind this.. i mean what are you trying to achieve it.. In reality your requirement is really difficult or nearly impossible.. Every picture will give some 100 probable answers...
Su 30MK2 is not an air superiority fighter.. it is a kind of marine bomber.. Further PLAAF taking lock is no big deal because they already posses such a product in there inventory... so they knew what is how... If Vietnam has approached India for help.. things will change dramatically.. We can...
