Thats a graceful defeat? No more CM400 super China missile talk? No more Df-31s? Come on, China superpowa! China Strong. What happened China? :what: BTW, 10 years, ago, Chinese and Paksitanis laughed at the Arjun project. Turns out it may not have reached the numbers we'd like to see, but...

Rightfully said, but Tejas is home in Asia. Its still relevant for sales in Asia. Any country that has the option of Gripen can also afford the Tejas. But the Gripen is filling international orders, while the Tejas is still limited prod. ACtually worse than the 60's 70;s etc.. Lets say you...

It most likely was not the technology or avionics that turned the PLAAF away from FC-1 but the payload/range. yea, when compared to the F-35, it does fall short.

Actually yes. The USSR and India are close. But in all, the PLAAF bought 200 odd Su-27s, with out lic prod. and then came the J-11 and so forth and yet the Indians got their MKI right from the first batch. Having 500 flankers is not cheap regardless of where you got them. And most of that is...

Wouldn't have the performance needed for LEH with that configuration.

Which actually used the same seekers as the R-77 during limited prod. batch. But thats not my point. The Indians get a different tour in Russia compared to a PLA dispatch. Actually we do know the relevant portions of composite use on Tejas. Its on the skin! To do this, they need a blended...

SAAB has nothing that isn't already offered on the open market from which they make their "packages"

Oh wow. Okay so whats is your point? 2 CM-400 missiles are 4 tons. Hence why PLAAF prefers using them from bombers. Also whats the detection range of the JF-17 for ship targets? whats the range with 2 CM-400? BTW whats the difference between RD-33 and RD-93? very minimal. Its the same...

Don't want to drop in but his point is irrelevant. The CM-400 is 2.5 ton missile. Last I checked the payload of JF-17 is 3.5 tons and i'll believe it because its a lone RD-33 engine. Its useless for JF-17 unless its desperate attempt by PAF to be credible in denying sea lanes. The air...

Well its been decades as feels like it still hasn't had its first flight. But yea, Gripen and Tejas share a common history. The gripen is brilliant design. Its a gun, and shoots perfectly. Open architecture and all. The difference between Tejas and Gripen will be in armament. The gripen is...

Surprisingly good. I don't see any stats on wing loading.

I'm sure you know design? All designs got back to the first aircraft from the Wright brothers to even earlier attempts. But Tejas is no mirage. Gripen and Tejas share the same BAE design. Dasualt was contracted later on project management and other subcontracts and consultancy. The design...

Whats certain is, the same bureaucrats that walk past the JF-17 pavilion will show no interest in Tejas and like wise. JF-17 is not competing on the same MARKET share as Tejas. Tejas competes against Gripen and used F-16 sales. Gripen is beating Tejas in the same market. The JF-17 is not...

India never had money before for a decent military. It was just large and based on manpower, ie defensive military with limited scope. With a new century and a new budget, they require equipment, and they can't just buy everything, especially builk defence merch. Akash is needed. As for the...

Crime in the Pakistani UK community is higher than other asian communities. And thats something to be proud ofÉ I know people like you. master race right? Because you know, Pakistanis have such a tough reputation.

Actually Brahmos range is 700 km or the same as onix. \only advertised as 290 km as to avoid mtcr complaints. The air launched which is 50% lighter at 1.5 tons is 290 km and more as well. Question is how do you use a weapon 700 km away.

OSPREY is needed. IN has no aircraft for this role, which is what limited the Carriers crew and endurance.

Really? Because what you said just sounds stupid from a business perspective. India is the happening place. Pakistan is irrelevant when it comes to SAARC. India is a big market, as such for the Chinese better trade routes are more likely to pay off than a route to Pakistan. Transportation...

Good for them. They actually need something for their war on terror.

Imran Khan is cricketer right. Not a law maker. He should hire lawmakers to work for him.
