Forget the N LCA - just buy more mig 29k - though get these ones upgraded with Zhuk AE. We can use the N LCA as a tech demonstrator and to develop technology for Carrier based aircraft which can be used for Naval AMCA.

Will it?? Does the rafale have the radar to fully use the capabilities of the longer ranged meteor? This radar was the smallest of all the AESA's in the competition ( yes - smaller even than the grippen ) and it cannot be changed as its small because of the tiny nose cone of the rafale( which...

The IAF has nothing to do with this decision - their role was to give a shortlist of fighters which fulfill the technical evaluations - they did just that- they have stated that they will be happy with either aircraft - the decision of the rafale was taken purely because it is cheaper - if the...

@Sancho - Will the Indian Rafale come with the M-88 ECO with uprated thrust of 90kn??

I've no problem with remotely piloted aircraft but I dont think fully autonomous are ever going to become a reality - at least not for major missions like air superiority or precision bombing

I am really curious to see this fighter and its specs once fully revealed - it seems to be very potent indeed if some members are to be believed, but some of the claims do sound exaggerated.

No its not..... Even if there is a slight slowdown growth rate wont fall bellow 8%. And I sincerely hope for the sake of the world that it does not fall more than that.

At last some sensible talk - Of course the british were not gonna go down without a fight but their attitude has been extremely arrogant they've perfectly described the phrase 'sore losers'. But then again with thousands of jobs on the line I guess they have a right to question the Indian decision

I personally dont care if the decision was rigged- I just want India to get these planes ASAP

I think so - but am still against drone strikes( It violates national integrity of said nation ) - If the Americans receive information about terrorist hide outs - they should contact the PAF - I am sure a JF 17 or a F 16 can bomb those targets as well as a predator or a reaper

RIP to the victims - always sad to see innocents suffer at the hands of terrorists.

RIP to the brave soldiers..... Personally I think the Pakistani govt needs to act faster and hit the terrorists harder - bring in the air force - do regular carpet bombings of their hide outs - roll in the heavy mechanized infantry and send in the special forces - paramilitary and light infantry...

Played all the CoDs on PC - currently am going through MW3 - Eiffel Tower just fell down in front of me....

Mine is the Iron Throne from A song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin - many of you may recognize it from the HBO TV series - A Game of Thrones. Personally I fond Abhishek's avatar the best ( obvious reasons ) ..... ;)

I would really hate it if the Indian govt succeeds in making google and facebook censor their contents in india.

2018?? and that too at 6 aircraft per year?? Hope its false news...... If it isnt then we should take the option for 80 more rafale and have the french build them for us asap.

Am really hoping the P 75I deal goes to the Amur ......

I think the AESA is the Zhuk AE. The IAF was not impressed with this radar in the MMRCA trials but the russians had promised an improved version (FGA 35) with higher range (upto 200km) and doubling the number of targets tracked(to 60). However the FGA 35 was made for the mig 35 ( 700mm nose cone...

eads still loses some, but as we see most of the pressure is coming from the british govt- not eads - they're concerned about the thousands of jobs that will be lost.

looking at the amount of pressure the british will soon be putting on india to buy the eft is it possible that we go for it for the next 80 mmrca instead of the rafale or f 35. Getting two different fighters would increase the rate of induction and after this debacle i am sure eads will offer a...
