AMRAAM Integration into LCA-Tejas Mk1A

[nomi007]

Question is why Indians are interested in AMRAAM?
Matlab Maray ja rahe hain.
The reason is only 1
27 FEB 19 performance of this missile

I'm saying it will be counterproductive. Since Rafale is already with the IAF...it's more sensible to stick with the same platform...
...but in the end ur money...ur decisions.

Navy Is adding More And more Americans Systems Into Its Arsenal like P8I & Sikorsky MH-80R Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye
Navy Pilots are Only compatible With Russian Fighters like Mig-29k
adding Any thing Into It Will require Same cost Whether Is Rafale IN or F/A-18
Tender cost same for Rafale IN aswell

Dont use such logic when talking about about Indian military procurement. Even in the small arms India will have 3 calibers from 3 different sources. India will easily put geopolitics infront of obvious logic.

But You see Tender Is Pecked at same cost of 95,000 crores Whether its rafale IN or F/A-18
Navy see Will offer More LCCW+weapon package

India will not be able to play like that for long.

3 Decades And We are doing Same With Russians And US

Nope, the current level is unprecedented as for Pantagon China is much more capable threat then cold war USSR and later had never challenged economic status of USA and its allies.

Senior and professional Indian members here on PDF won't agree with you that you will buy any US fighter jets for IN but suggests you're going to buy RAFALE M for IN

They better buy from the US or be prepared to get sanctioned.

Only proposal India is yet to decide

We are the ones who decide. Once we decide they have no option but to buy else face sanctions.

US is known to put fwd sale of THAAD to India according to you guys. Why can't they sell you F35s

We have asked India to stop all procurement from Russia including S-400. They are working on it. Only once that is completed, an F-35 offer to India will be considered.

US is known to put fwd sale of THAAD to India according to you guys. Why can't they sell you F35s

You should have partnered with us instead of engaging with China.

Trials doesn't means it will be selected you assuming by yourself every aircraft have a trial before it will be selected if IN preselected f18 that's other matters

We don't do trials for fun. They have no other option but to go for our fighters. Also, Rafales do not fit in their elevators.

Boeing Already place its logistics in India Boeing started venture With TATA 5 years ago they prepared india PVT players For both MMRCA Navy
And No makes spares And Parts Of Apache's ,P8I ,Chinooks,C-17 etc.

Americans are Lobbying Heavily And Dassault is nowhere Not even Considered for waiting

IN started Trials on F/A-18 compatibility test with Indian AC's

India Sooner or Later Goes For F-35 this Integration is For Test bed of American technology

F/A-18 is from Boeing while F-35 is from LM. How are you linking up the two?

Its Integration As Platform Paves way for F-35

Why army chosen BVRs which according to them failed on 27 feb?? Hehehe daal ma kuch to kala ha??

The missile failed because u fired it from close to its maximum range at 100 km

Maybe because ur pilots were too scared to get in firing range of Su30mki and Mirage 2000

Their is a difference between max range and kill range
Aim120C-5 has a max range of 105 km


It has a kill range of 60km which is similar to the no escape zone of the Mica missiles used by Mirage 2000
R77 has a max range of 90 km with a kill range of 50-60km

Will F-35 use Israeli avionics/radar?

 

[Archie]

did India decide on what aircraft they gonna deploy on their new carrier ?

The short Answer is Rafale M
Though their exact number is not yet final
The Navy wants 57 new fighters, even though INS Vikrant would only be able to carry 30 fighters and 10 Helis
Given the budgetary issues that we are going to face due to Covid19, the initial order could be smaller at 24-30 Fighters
With an option to order additional fighters at same price .
The Navy's current Mig29K is more than sufficient for INS Vikramaditya but the Navy won't order additional Migs since they won't be relevant post 2035-40 and the present fleet will retire along with INS Vikramaditya in 2040

And PAF AWACS which was flying well above then 30k feet could not able to see Abhi none done khatara Mig-21 which was sitting behind peer punjal mountains..

U hit the MiG-21 from 40km away, within ur own territory.
But u fired at Su30 from over 100km
And missed
That's the point I was trying to make

This is cqlled strategy. We can fire our missiles from max distance. But u cant rven fire them from max distance as your pilot shit their pents and try to escape from the battle field.

Its Pockets Will decide
Boeing Is on Advance Stage While Dassaut Not even Proposed of Replied for RFI
Boeing to display F-18 compatibility with Indian aircraft carriers

It still will not fit on the elevators due to its size...
Before that problem is solved no sale will happen, or the planes have to be stored and maintained on the flight deck.

Why buy a missile which your own airforce successfully dodged?

 

[Trango Towers]

Not a bad idea at all. We can have 2 platforms with the most advanced BVR missiles. The ASTRA will be the bread and butter of BVRs for India but adding more advanced BVRs in the mix is a good way to go forward.

All the weapons in the world wont help you when you cant fight. Even this indigenous milestone of AMRAM
