Mate as i said earlier, its true that as far as PAKFA is concerned India would be at the receivers end.Didn't you know? The Russians are stupid and need the Indians to teach them about composites, cockpit design and avionics. Makes you wonder how they managed to compete with the Americans all these decades on their own...![]()
BUT, Starting late never means u cant get ahead.
Indians have achieved a much Cheaper Space Launch systems - PSLV .. its one of the most Reliable and the cheapest with 16 successful flights.
Russians are ahead of us, but all those talks of India being a Super power are not entirely a myth atleast when Obama Says - India a Global Nuclear Power.
We have at least Something if not Everything. That "Something" too is rare ... how many economies in SA are growing at 8% in this recession era ?
Without a working engine, it's mostly an impotent machine.
Mate, The GE404 is already in India and the First Batch of LCA will be equipped with it.
By the time First Batch rolls out, The Deal on EJ or the GE414 will be done so Next versions of LCA I and II will have a confirmed Engine.
Later, Kaveri will replace these once its development is over. This is being perused separately.
