    300mki's ...... Interesting:..... So orders of 40 more is confirmed??? As for lca - work definitely needs to be sped up on the mk2 and big orders (200+) need to be made. Lca mk2 in large numbers will provide very stiff competition to the likes of j 10 and f 16blk52

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions

    maybe underpowered is the wrong word - but you cant deny that it could use a bit more thrust - maybe once the kaveri is is developed we will replace the m 88 with it as some reports seem to suggest or it could also be replaced by the m88-4 eco. maybe he has a personal favorite but the IAF should...

    F-INSAS assault rifle some options???

    the rifle has to be developed indegenously- no way we can buy 3 million + rifles (including para and reserves)..... the kalantak or something( cant seem to remember the name) seems to me to be a very good option

    Russian air force orders thrust-vectoring Su-30SM fighters

    i doubt whether a pilot will agree. From what i know when in combat, pilots fly on instincts which are honed over hundreds/thousands of hours of flying/training - there is no time to think..... And i doubt whether we can create a computer which reaches decisions faster than human reflex actions

    Russian air force orders thrust-vectoring Su-30SM fighters

    ucav's will never replace air superiority planes-human instinct in fights can not be replaced. Ucav's will be used mainly for strikes and bombing missions - kinda like the predator drone . I dont think a ucav like taranis or neuron could defeat a manned 4.5 gen jet like eurofighter
