J20 is not in the same league as J31 they are of much different there is not way people would choose J20 for J31 role or other way around. Air superiority or ground attack is what J20 is suppose to excel at and those things are not something J31 can excel in.
As far as J31 is concern I feel its...
Even if its not accepted in its current form there is a change that Pakistan might accept it or give it further funding akin to what it did with the FC-1
That is exactly what I was thinking and thought the year might have been fudged/misreported. The other possibility is using a preexisting model/manual for basic training not advance system specific training.
But I still think the leak is of paramount importance specially for people who have...
Some tid-bits might be taken from the Shortfin Barracuda so as to alter the performance values in the manual, you cant decrease the capability so that might be a way forward.
Thanks @PARIKRAMA but I cant exactly believe that the impact of the leak is minimal, I mean even if there have been modifications the base parameters would remain similar/same.
For example the noise signature intensity.
The J20 route is not exactly the best way to go the Chinese use a different way of induction than most of the other people but validation and re-validation are important parts and you should not glide over it using this upgrading route instead of the normal stage route.
About the grounded LCA whatever it is water inside the cockpit is a very problematic. LCA has a manual mechanically operated canopy and lets faceit pilots are also humans if its not sealed properly water can seep in very easily specially in heavy rain.
On the networking system that I have...
Thank's for the tag @PARIKRAMA but i did not get the alert weird.
Anyways the high weight and W2T being similar to the M88 core Kaveri is related to the dependability/ Maintenance of the engine. The Kaveri had in-flight time lower than not only western engines but also to some others.
The new...
Thx for the tag
The start all and end of it all for the Americanos is BVR and be sure there is a black project in the US for higher everything BVR requirements. So if we take it at face value the stealth values for the Pak-Fa is a big crack in the armor, yea I understand the counter measures...
India might also be interested in RAM sheets/coats from US since it can be used for Su 30MKI and F16 among others. US does have a leg up on RAM coatings and can decrease the footprint of several aircraft's. The real question is can the US share a sensitive tech such as that?
F16 B70 in real...
Actually MiG 1.44 had 5th gen characteristics and that was done in the late 1980's so it was quite ahead of its time in comparison to the T50.
The problem is money which Russia always seems to have less off
Thanks PARI for the tag.
Don't think this will come into wishing because of the low availability alone not to mention now with MTCR India can get long range fire power. Russia is already trying to sell Su 35 on the bases that it will have commonality with "Super" SU-30MKI that is another way of...
Soldiers are normal people they are not super heroes. In fact seeing and doing what they do makes them less caring overall, i know people will disagree but seeing people dead and dying changes a person.
In any case suicide which would have been more difficult for a person with home issues is...
Oli would announce his resignation from the floor of the House, and submit it to President Bidhya Devi Bhandari soon after Parliament session is adjourned
As defeat stared on his face, Prime Minister K P Oli has decided to tender his resignation from the post without facing the vote on the...
Don't know about F22 but F35 is suppose to get the ability to control UCAV's. This is not baked in ability and it will be limited, pure Gen 6 might have this ability in their initial specifications thus not only will it provide better control but also better integration.
I am a network engg
