Voice Command System integrated for the first time in India on an aircraft. After successful R&D of VACS, it's integrated on Hawk-i & started testing with test pilots. It reads pilot's voice command, answers back a logical response & the displays activate the commanded function.

To all the IAF enthusiasts and experts,

At this stage, which fighter jet is India most likely to choose for the 110 fighter jet tender ?

Rafale F.4 or F/A18SH
Also, the 110 will be clubbed with the Navy's requirement.

Thanks. As per you which one is more likely amongst the two ? For navy, I believe the Superhornet would be more suitable right ?

SH comes with possible support for Emals, on one on one comparison, F4 is miles ahead.

Thanks.

I wonder why they decided to go for a fresh tender ? They cancelled the tender in which the Rafale was already selected. Do you think that was done to accommodate an American jet ?

MII was the issue, MoD needs a jet that it can almost build as many it wants to.

Whatever they get, I hope they get it quickly as possible.

This is an open source available system and source code actually... Interesting that stuff like this is being integrated right now.. German cars Navi had this in them about 5-6 years ago.

Yep, that is critical. Been too long coming, this one... (and one can't somehow come to trust anything coming from the Amreekan establishment - the being the bias that does exist)

The Flankers were refuelled by a French Air Force C-135FR tanker over the Mediterranean during the last stage of their ferry flight to France. The Garuda tactical air manoeuvres took place at Base Aérienne 118 Mont-de-Marsan from July 1-12 and also involved Armée de l’Air Rafale, Alpha Jet, Mirage 2000, C-135, E-3F, C-130 and CN235 aircraft. The Su-30s were supported on their trip by a pair of IAF C-17As from No 81 Squadron and a single No 78 Squadron Il-78MKI tanker. Serials of the Su-30MKIs comprised SB138, SB423, SB430 and SB435.
