can Snecma Kaveri be power-plant of indigenous Indian bomber?

[Sergi]

how??if even Su-30 could carry 3 LACM,they couldn't carry a single A2A missile to defend them.that means you'll have to send more escorts to protect all of them.what is better option???

Atleast run faster by dropping/firing/dumping load

What are the chances of serviaval B52 like bomber in BVR era ??? They can't do anything. Even in WW2 bomber missions were 50% return missions
Plus evenif escorts with B52 can take on 2/3 attackers what about herd ??? Can B52 run ???

I am not weapon expert but something can be done like 2 LACM +1/2 AAM. So we have to increase 1/2 Sukhoi in the formation to achieve LACM load if necessary

Wiki says current cost of YB-52 is around 800-900 million per piece. It will increase if we develope our own. Evenif we buy it and modify as LACM launcher platform it will be nearly a billion. Am I wrong ???
I think we can buy 6/8 Sukhois at 150 million / piece in that. Plus they can do other roles too.
Bomber can't do other roles. And I think this was the initial logic of IAF for approaching to multi-role fighters

Bro the age of bombers is well over.This is the age of missiles.

You opened a 3 month old thread to say this?

Great!!

The days of bombers are long gone. Unless you build one that flies in space and drops bombs from out there!

Missiles and UCAVs are the most cost effective platforms not only in today's battle environs but in the future too. Bombers are passé. Period!

Bombers are converted to naval role with cruise missle.

IAF banks on su30 for that role. Our friends are nearby and also bombers can't have free run with huge body and low speed like good old days.

Usa doctrine is different. They need it to cross the pacific, and deliever sweet in later half of the war. Also they need it to bomb weak defence country to show it, they are the BOSS.

Same applies for Russia too except Boss role.
