One very important feature of the Rafale is the SPECTRA virtual software based Stealth Electronic Warfare and Defensive Aids Suite.this entire suite is integrated internally and it houses an Infraded Missile Warning System,a Radar Warning Receiver along with Chaff and Flare Dispensers.the...
I think selecting the Rafale would be much better.currently the Rafale are powered by engines which produce 80.8KN thrust and the Kaveri produces 81kn thrust.so kaveri can be integrated in the rafale.the french proposed that they could fit rafale with Kaveri Engines if it is selected by IAF
to be true I am not sure but the picture of LCA MK-2 which i had seen certainly had LEVCONS.adding LEVCONS will help in increasing AoA of THE lca MK-2.What do u think?
The FBW System limits the G-Level exposure of the Tejas to prevent fatigue cracks from appearing in the airframe.The Tejas has top speed of About Mach 1.8 to Mach 2.0 at high altitude.the Tejas can easily sustain 8G stress but the lca MK-1 is not allowed to carry out manouvers in excess of 7.5G...
In case of LCA Mk-2 which will be equipped with a new AESA Radar there would be a whole new range of BVRAAMs.when Tejas Mk-2 would hit production lines in 2016 Astra Mk-2 would be ready,the Meteor can also be integrated into the LCA mk-2 along with the Python-5 and R-73E for WVR engagements.
It would be real good to see smart munitions integrated on the AURA UCAV.how about weapons like CBU-105 Sensor Fuzed Weapon,Sudarshan LGB,Paveway-IV LGB Kit,KAB-1500L LGB.
that is quite true.atleast for now there will only be action just at the diplomatic level.however wars are very bad for all.however the next decade will be very bright for IAF with next gen. Gizmos.i want to fly a PAK FA right now i am in Class-XI and i want to be a pilot in the IAF.
hey jdme,just chill bro.dont care what others say.dogs alwys bark and barking dogs seldom bite.anyways what do you think about the Derby missile on the Tejas.?
This is a strategic move.by activating an airfield near the LAC it will aid Swift troop movement in conflict zones.Yesterday SPARK reported the M-777 was getting finalised. The AN-32s will transport the troops and the M-777s which can be airlifted.whereas if there is a need arises then maybe...
These dialogues and reminders dont suite a nation which hasn't even built an aircraft fuselage by its own.Even if India is trying to source LCA's production abroad it would mean that the aircrafts would come out more quickly.so its good for us.
Hey Jon Snow.the range of the R-77 varies with altitude just like all other AAMs. at sea level the R-77 will have minimum range because at sea level the air is denser so there wil be supersonic drag so less range however say at an altitude of 30000ft it will have significantly more range as the...
to LAUGHING_SOLDIER,
americaaans wont let us integrate AIM12OD ON RUSSIAN SUKHOIS.the meteor is way ahead than its competitors.
just relax and watch.
when meteor will hit production nothing will come close to it. hope i solved your doubt.
THE METEOR is a lethal weapon.here are some articles which prove how advanced it is.
MBDA Meteor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to MBDA, Meteor has three to six times the kinematic performance of current air-air missiles of its type. The key to Meteor's performance is...
During Aero India 2011 MBDA offered various missiles to the Indian Armed Forces.they said that could integrate the Meteor BVRAAM on three of the european fighters in the MMRCA Tender that is the Typhoon,Rafale and Gripen.
thanks for the info but i am all out for the MBDA Meteor.one hell of a weapon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MBDA_Meteor.

Hi spark.I am koushik .i am new here.Good to see that the IA Artillery Modernisation getting finally kickstarted.the M-777 is one hell of a howitzer.rugged,reliable and battle tested.it weighs about 2.75 tonnes which makes it transportable by helis and it can fire non-guided shells accurately...
wait till september 2011 winner of MMRCA will be announced.so your first doubt cleared and looking at your mindset you are getting tensed just on hearing about this RFI.god knows what will happen to you people when you'll see BVRAAMs like Meteor being fitted on IAF Su-30MKI.You will sweat in...
