Why everyone going crazy over R73 missing flares as if R73 is a hit to kill missile. These missile explode near to the target that is not possible to show in such exercise. If they pass close to the flare that would be enough to show a target kill.
These missiles never hit their target, but explode when within a distance to the target. If the come close to a target in these exercise that proves their accuracy.
R73 or Igla or Aksah etc are not hit to kill missiles, rather they explode when come within a distance to the target. If the pass close to a flare that is very accurate because a real fighter is a much bigger target.
Upgrading LCA into silent eagle 15 with two engines translates into developing an all new plane in the medium category, i.e., AMCA. LCA is already semi stealth due to its small size, 45% composite content, Y air ducts and RAM paint. In the future, MK3 will be stealthier with extreme composite...
As per Tarmak 007, LCA is expected to fire R73.

My friend, he is not trolling, merely stating that DRDO has the capability to develop such platforms. Later in the article, he also states that since we have the capability that does not mean we start building everything in house and that too for a meager demand of 10-15 platforms that would be...
LCA MK2 can carry BVR on multi-racks on the mission requirements. If a LCA size fighter can carry a payload size of a much bigger Jaguar size fighter, then I think it is a far more capable fighter than what you have been projecting it to be. For the size of LCA, the current hard points are...
Why would I like to deny you your dream world? your harping on silly points like extra hard points when current hard points are sufficient for optimal loading and multi racks can also be used does not make them facts. Silly points like selectively arguing how 3rd gen Jaguar carries same payload...
Very much possible. Indian Space capsule recovery experiment (SRE-1) carried a payload for growing bio materials in micro gravity. SRE-2 will be carrying more such experiments like, Biological effects of Microgravity: A genomic and proteomics approach and effect of microgravity on the...
Cow dung is being used as a fuel for cooking and other purposes in many villages all across India for centuries. On the other hand, West started talking about bio fuels recently. People from caltec are talking about using enzymes from Cow stomach for digesting bio waste to produce fuel
