DRDO's AWACS to play dual role as refuelling tanker, 13 ton AESA ready for integration

The A330 with a DRDO AESA is as "homegrown" as the Embraer AWE&CS with a DRDO AESA.

The A330 is a big *** plane and there is definitely no dearth of space, and if it can be tested and inducted as expeditiously as the EMB-145 AWE&CS then what is there to complain about.
It's not about the space,it's all about r&d on in-house designing tanker in an awacA. It costs us the time.
 
. . .
And tell me what's the use of AWACS and tanker in a same platform,both serves entirety different role.

They must have something in mind.

It can either just work as a refueler one day and AWACS the next.

Or to refuel the escorting fighters effectively guaranteeing longer airtime for the AWACS and the escorting fighters.

It probably won't have as much refueling capacity as a normal A330 refueler owing to the large AESA.

Now the doors of Washington and Beijing both are closed. who will save you from evil Bharat? :yahoo:

I have full confidence in our Bharti neighbours if there is war - they will simply use their AWACS for air refuelling, crash their subs into their own ships, keep their fighters grounded on the back of trucks and do surgical strikes only in their own imagination :sarcastic: why do we need USA or China when we have such neighbours :wub:

India will counter with an awac, tanker, interplanetary traveler and a death star.

And claim that calculus was invented by Indians

the point aircraft defending the AWACS can be refueled by the AWACS itself. since the entire group will be outside the range of enemy airspace, I believe that could be one of the roles for the short legged Indian LCA?

And still managed to carved out half your country, took the most POWs since WWs. Your generals then had similar idea of underestimating their enemy.
