All of you, just stop it. Fighting like school kids, better join the cartoon network forum if you want to continue like this. Don't spam the forum with useless things.

India will be interested in F-35, sooner or later it is coming our way. India will be US's partner 20 years from now. That partnership will develop with such purchases. Also the technology in F-35 is way beyond the technology used in FGFA or PakFa, and in some areas, more advanced than the...

PPP is going to go this year. Nothing can stop this. Nawaz Sharif is just waiting for this bad times to get over. When the economy, and strategic conditions are at their lowest, and can not get worse, he will topple the government, and without making much efforts, he will be able to prove that...

Russians sold R77s to China, and China reverse engineered. Earlier it directly used the seeker of R-77 on its missiles, and now working on its own seekers.

Yes, Zhuk was designed for the Migs, but the radar technology is very advanced on the Zhuk-AE, and currently it is available in 0.7m diameter sizes, but is being designed for a 0.98m diameter antenna which will increase the radar detection power by at least 2x So the ranges on a Zhuk AE fitted...

Well, it was not a surprise to me when they said it has a dual mode seeker, because the seeker used in SD-10 is a seeker form R-77 missile, and R-77 missile has passive as well as active radar modes. This allows the missile to be used as an anti-radiation missile.

There is a problem with MRLs. They are not accurate. You yourself gave an example of rockets mounted on aircraft. Almost all aircraft had unguided rockets on aircraft as the offensive ground weapon. Even our Mig 21s have them. But in case of aircraft, they are accurate, because they are...

Range can be increased, but that requires structural changes, and much more propellant since adding more propellant will also add more weight, and that requires more thrust to counter. This is the reason AAMs are not used as SAMs in most cases. Also that most AAMs and shorter SAMs coast in...

That is SUPER optimism according to me. If that is the case, then SD-10C will be 200 km, and SD-10D will be 250 km, and soon we will have missiles that will have 500 km range. lol. Range doesn't always increase in newer versions. There is a limit after which increasing range requires a lot...

Its already 3rd Jan here in India. Its 12:23 right now.

The Zhuk AE is a better radar than the Irbis-E. Irbis-E has a good range, but Zhuk-AE's range will be even more than that, and you've got the AESA advantage. But the radar chosen for PakFa is NIIP radar which would be a derivative of Irbis-E radar.

Happy b'day Zaki.................

Alright, so you yourself said that the new missile is development is named the SD-10B, now that is what I had said. The SD-10A's range will remain 70 kms. Although newer versions of it will be in development, they won't be named SD-10A, they would be SD-10B, then C, then D, and so on. That...

Yes. You can say that. I'd love to get into more detail, like how drag increases at such speeds, and how it affects the performance of the missile, how much fuel is consumed, and what are the efficiencies at different speeds, but I guess it takes a LOT of time, and I gotta write a LOT for it. I...

Ok. So tell me, why do deep penetration aircraft need to be stationed away from border? I can't get that logic u applied there. Also Mirages won't be placed there. I can be done, we know that. But out of 10 engagements, F-16 would win 7, I guess that's a probability in its favor, and we...

Hey, do I know you??? Do u mind if I ask you, if you are a boy or a girl?

I am one guy who's sleepy almost always. But I haven't slept in last two days. Its exactly 55 hours now since I slept. I sure wanna sleep now. Those who wanna sleep, should just get into bed, and switch off the lights. It is very rare that you don't fall to sleep within 10 minutes. If not that...

You can convert any AAM into a SAM, but the range of the missile would be reduced by at least 40% due to drag at lower altitudes.

You just answered yourself. AIM-120 is a lighter missile, and travels at a lower speed, so it needs to spend less energy to travel its distance. Hence a lower kinetic energy. Remember, Kinetic energy gained by missile = energy spent by propulsion system to propel the missile forward. In...

There is just one version of SD-10A, and it has a range of 70 kms. They are not developing several versions, just for different customers. About the ranges, its 70 kms, and it has not been upgraded. Let the missile be mass produced. Its a new missile and it won't be upgraded so quickly. Other...
