Exactly.
Develop a decent.............
1)irst
2)rwr
3)maws
4)jammers
5)at least a 100 kn engine in next 10 years.
That will serve a greater good later on than just buying stuff from outside and assembling that.
yeah right,just that foc has ben extended to 2016 already.Fair enough we are close.
Really laughable..........we have yet to start building a prototype.
What experience??
Our contribution will be next to nothing,maybe some composites thats it.
This time the architecture will be total sensor...
Spending money on amca before tejas mk2 and fgfa are ready is a blunder of epic proportions.We simply will divide our resources and end up with an inferior product.No other country is trying to develop 4 planes at the same time.
Mk1
mk2
amca
fgfa
Thats purely stupid.
I am not cribbing,i am just sad at the stupidity of our air force/govt.
Chinese al-31 has more thrust than ours.
Regarding super sukhoi upgrade,we need it now.
This looks bullshit to me.
Even 117s of su-35 has got just 4000 hours and its their most abvanced engine in a 4+ gen jet(117 powering...
It has a pesa right now.
No,i never said that,i said the difference is too small to comment.
Both are good enough,but ef did required additional funding for aesa and tranch 3 upgrade.
No,eurofighter submitted another follow on contract later making it cheaper than rafale.
1)rafale has a working aesa from 2012 onwards,i don't want to even comment on eurofighter
2)The air-ground capabilities of rafale are simply better.
Those 2 things mattered.
Not to mention french have...
As i told,there is no fadec version of al-31 available to be had.
The only thing available is npo saturn 117s of su-35 but i am not sure if tht can be retrofitted to mki.
Whos fault it is??
Russia's??
Nope.
We are still using the old al-31 series when even chinese have moved on to the improved one with 132 kn thrust.can anyone confirm this??
Are we using this?
Or this???
If we are still with al-31f simple or the first one then our air force and ministry...
