There really is no comparison there , Su-33 may have some more A2S weapons . Apart from that Su-33 is to big to work on out carrier , it limited the number of planes we could have carried. That's why i think we opted for Mig-29K This has also led to the Su-33 becoming more expensive...

You can't have reduction in weight . Look at tanks around the world , their weight only goes up as more upgraded version are developed. What ever weight reduction the Arjun has will only be detrimental to the tank. And also i highly doubt how substantial it may be . Arjun's weight will always...

those prices are no where near final , even if they are our prices There is one round of price competitiveness for Short listing , another one after . And more negotiations after winner is selected

Can't the T-90 also guard these places ? IS this why we need T-72 in such numers ?

DRDO want's to use its own AESA developed for the AEW&CS , they are working on a spin of for use for the Tejas. DRDO develops the radars for the Tejas , so i think they may use their own AESA

Gripen does not get enough attention. It's a little sad given that it's only fault is being associated with the Tejas. (my points against the Gripen still stand a possible negative) it is the only aircraft apart form the Euro Fighter that can super cruise Gripen takes of in just 12 sec...

I understand. But then how are they short listed , surely there is some form of commission. I have a source from PIB PIB Press Release But Mig-35 , has significant issues meeting the Delivery schedule , would it not be better to go with a more safer option.

He means the Turret design. It is not that it is not smart , having that turret shape has it own advantages , firstly more room for crew and equipment Is the Design old , most definitely yes. We can do much better with if we designed a new one. But it only lacks in vertically sloped...

Well it did better in both categories then the T-90 :coffee: I don't know what you standards are , but the Trials , which were desert Trials showed the Arjun to have better accuracy and superior mobility. So , if you want to underestimate the Arjun do s at your own risk.

Well that was not my intention :undecided:, And i am sorry :cheers: May be its just the Arjun thing , something inside just get's riled up thinking about it.

I would like to hope that the old style of politics will not fly in India any more. Public opinion harder to control with more Indian's watching TV and keeping check.

I, agree Even if that is a true RCS , which i doubt it is. Add weapons and pod and what ever reduction made becomes meaningless. Most planes have the same ~RCS , when carrying weapons.

Trishul was shelved , stop trying to beat life into a dead horse. Any tech or experience we gained from the project forms the basis for co-development of new missile.

Don't forget India is a socialist state , And has a communist party

lol "we can work together , just not with each other"

There are a large number of people , who would have to disappear for that to happen. Indian would have to do a 180 on foreign policy. Make numerous concessions. Change its view's. Simply wont happen , any time soon at least. China is India's largest Trading partner Israile and...

Your pro- common sense , that's good enough for me. :cheers:

I also have not heard anything and i hate to use that word , but i also checked the PIB for any Info , but it seems there are delays with Engine selection. :cry: I guess we just have to wait , may be there are some negotiations taking place. This is the latest reference in PIB that i found...

There are no absolutes. It is undeniable that corruption was responsible for what happened with the tank , unless you want to tell me IA is so irresponsible that they ere blissfully unaware to the capabilities of their own tanks. IA is not corrupt as whole , but there were undeniable...

What would you have me do , put this up for Arjun Besides it will look very similar to that jap tank any way
