Its 45 mig 29k, along with 40 NLCA mk2 (though these will probably come around 2016) as well as NMRCA - f35, rafale and sea typhoon already offered for INS Vishal ( 2018). more than enough to protect the P8i's. Also we are inducting dedicated ASW corvettes - p28( Kamorta class) which will...

which is what they are doing.... the ATD-X is a fifth gen plane. Mitsubishi ATD-X - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia seems like the japanese dont have a lot of faith in the f 35..... Good for them - i wouldnt trust in the capabilities of a plane which can only carry 4 BVR missiles(maximum) either.

JSF is not meant to ever enter into dogfights with other fighters - its supposed to blow them up at BVR ranges. some would call it a design flaw while others forward thinking and cost savings. The design of the aircraft is just not suited for dogfighting or extreme maneuvers. No reason for TVC...

MKI does indeed have a high RCS making it ineffective in hit and run scenarios - We'll be getting the PAK FA for that ( but not for some time yet). MKI has the TVC to help it in close quarters dogfights - for eg in India - Pak scenarios the likelihood of air-air combat being decided by dog...

Wrong... Ever heard of the F 22 Raptor?? Do a little reading before making ignorant posts Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

dont know about the mki but the the f 22 raptor apparently uses its tvc at high speeds - the principle should also apply to the su 30. Carlo Kopp interviews F-22 Chief Test Pilot, Paul Metz Kopp: There is some debate in the fighter community about the relevance of thrust-vectoring in...

I couldnt find anything on the CFTs so it depends on whether India wants them or not. TVC is already ready and waiting, the TVC enabled engine is of dimensions as of normal EJ200 so if the IAF wants it there need not be any changes made to the airframe. Very few reports are present for the...

I dont think the french raised the price after signing the deal - they just asked for a huge amount initially and we had no other option but to agree to their demands. We will of course have to end up funding at least some of the weapons - but its not that huge an amount - the weapons are ready...

There's no point in comparing capabilities now- the IAF did that and shortlisted both these fighters, so if the EFT does turn out cheaper we will buy it even if it never fires anything more than a paveway II. we should be comparing costs of the whole platforms. From what I can gather it seems...

its not that high Eurofighter partners sign Partner nations Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK have signed a €9 billion ($12.7 billion) contract for their first Tranche 3 Eurofighter combat aircraft, ending months of uncertainty over the programme's future prospects. Conducted in Manching...

nice analysis - but cost of eft was 75 mill in the 09 deal not 90 mill... flightglobal.com/news/articles/eurofighter-partners-sign-9-billion-tranche-3a-deal-330463/ edit sorry - you're right - got confused between pounds and euros ,its 90 mill euros

Indian Army to add 1 lakh men on China border New Delhi: The Indian Army's proposal for a Mountain Strike Corps to add depth to its defence in Arunachal Pradesh is expected to reach the Cabinet Committee on Security soon, sources said on Wednesday. The new Corps will add one lakh men to the...

why is that??

the only problem with the mi 26 is maintenance - if the russians can solve that(which they seem to be doing) then the mi 26 wins hands down - it is the best in the business. and since we already operate the mi 26 the logistics are already in place - having too many different kinds of...

would be better to test it against the arjun - if you are trying to make a world class anti tank missile then you should test it against the best armour available- if it can penetrate the arjun then we know that the other tanks dont stand a chance

Indian Army chopper lands in Pak, 4 detained - India News - IBNLive An Indian Army chopper was taken into custody in Pakistan after it strayed across the Line of Control (LOC) on Sunday. Sources reported that it landed near Olding in Pakistan at around 1.00 pm because of extremely bad weather...

spain and germany are both nato members - MTCR wont apply ( cant find official source for this but there are examples all over - like when USA sold tomahawk to UK and cleared sales to spain but refused to sell to Israel citing mtcr)

the export version will have range of 300km not 500 cause of mtcr

Brahmos will only come for 40 mki's(as it requires large amounts of changes to be made to the aircraft) - taurus could be bought for the rest 230. But for me more important would be the meteor missile for the mki. The mki is supposed to be our primary air supremacy fighter after all - it...
