OFb has manufacturing units all over the country. After production starts orders may be gradually handed over to TATA.
L&T has been involved in pretty much every defence deal since brahmos. Tata is new. It pays to have consultant.
The tender is rigged to get these 3 together.
You friggin armchair generals. The deal says 3 companies.
OFB - manufacturing (they got dhanush ready)
TATA - design
L&T - consultants
Is it that friggin difficult to figure out.
This is pure pressure tactic by MoD and IAF to ensure Russians stay in line. No body, not even china will give them money for a half completed project. Once Rafale goes through and FGFA negotiators panic, IAF will automatically agree.
China with LRIP J 20 buying incomplete FGFA. LOL.
Except we are outpacing you technologically as well as financially. Rather than being a sore butt go to the Chinese defence forum threads and gander there. These statements are kiddish.
The missile has 120 km range. It is guided by a radar with eyes up to 250 km. Most chances the enemy fighter gets sniped out of sky.
If by miracle it survives and launches missile then salvo fire of Barak 8 can stop missile. (cm 400 akj attains speed of mach ~ 3.5 - 4 ish some 20 km away from...
So they will be used like they are in Israel or USA. If there is a place where air superiority has not been attained and pilot can become POW, then constraints may apply as you say.
There are
There are squadrons of mig 21 that act as interceptors and are for air policing. I believe they will be relegated there first.
Countries generally don't deploy female combatants unless they have relative air superiority, manpower constraints or for propaganda value.
Like how a...

Madam, the US marines did a study and found that on an average the mixed gender ground combat units are at severe disadvantage to all male ones.
Even they have unofficially banned women from combat units by increasing tough standards. They literally said if you are 120 pounds, 5'6 -...
indo russian fighter aircraft project regains speed hal
These presstitutes want India to buy F 35. No thanks, we'll have an F 22 esque aircraft than some stealthy F 18 hornet.
Sir, then what do you think about our other branches. Should we also introduce so called gender neutral standards like the US in ground combat like SF.
PS:AFAIK the air force is going to relegate the women to rear echelon duties. Domestic air policing, training, etc. The POW thing is quite an...
I just find it funny to see Pakistani media behave like North Korean media at times. Later even Russia released a press release rubbishing this "deal". No word since then. All this is to prepare ground work for Modi visit in december to Russia to finalize/negotiate FGFA and Super Sukhoi upgrade...
An airforce flying thirdhand F 16s and a Chinese reject light fighter is a loser of it's own accord. A country like Indonesia is applying for line of credit to buy Su 35. Pakistan can't even look beyond second hand trash for now. SU 35 lol! Well done indeed!
Because your chaachu is going through bad time and needs money. More than that they need SU 35 for the engines to power their underpowered next generation J 20.
What I find to be extremely funny is that Pakistan with it's current budget can't even pay for 24 SU 35 + maintenance and upkeep without line of credit extended by Russia. (India will have 272 SU 30 MKI of which 40 - 60% will be converted to Super Sukhoi).
The Russian airforce is buying SU 35...
