Suprise we recently floated a tender for long range randar (10 radar) ,most probably it would be green pine/super green pine unless Raytheon can manage to enter the competition. Still i would bet on super green pine

I want Gripen NG but i'm pretty sure its going to be f 16. Can anyone compare how good is SABR APG 83 vs elta 2052 vs selex raven ?. AESA would be a game changer knowing the experience of Northrop Grumman’s in aesa. In their brochure its written :
Approximately 95 percent of SABR’s mode suite...

India, Russia likely to sign deal to produce Kamov choppers
PTI | Updated: Oct 12, 2016, 08.39 PM IST
NEW DELHI: India and Russiaare expected to sign this weekend a "complex agreement" for production of 200 Kamov 226T helicopters domestically under a nearly US $1 billion deal to replace the...
we don't have any option to replace them in near future(only if we can buy additional su 30mki, about which iaf is not interested).Tejas can't be ramp up immediately as said by arup raha himself(will come by 2025-28).So all mig will be replaced only by late 20's. I thought tejas mk2 would be...
Its not about quality but quantity. There is a need to replace 14 sq of mig 21/27 with cheap planes under MII. Most importantly its about creating aerospace ecosystem + jobs under MII + engines tech (from usa if f 16 is selected) + geo-political decision.

Competition between gripen ng and f 16 block 70. I dont see any other options there.Both were already evaluated during MMRCA, so it wont be tested again. All will depend upon the package these two offers(which they already have as per parikrama). So i don't see any competition here. Its going...
It's completely a pet project for Modi's MII . It has nothing to do with tender/negotiations. Just like rafale, this will be g2g deal which need to happen before 2019.It is a complete geo political call and the deal will most probably go to LM(99%). As parikkar has said before , there will be...
It took 40 years for LM to produce 4500 f 16 , that's about 100+ per year. They are claiming to move entire production line for us. So no way its gonna take 17 years to produce 120 planes for biggest defence giant in the world. if every thing go well and production start in 2020 we can hope...
He is clearly talking about f 16. Although IAF wants gripen ,f 16 is ahead in the race due to geo political resons + lower price.This deal is mostly about MII and to develop inhouse aerospace industry (private) +engine + need to replace migs as quickly as possible(since it will take 10 to 12...
