its not possible without active support of pakistani military circles that 1000s can join IS, sometime it makes me wonder is pak army using pakistani civilians just as leverage to get more military and economic aid from west :crazy:
Well in my view LCA Mk2 will be comparable to Gripen NG if not superior and I am sure as a pakistani you will never accept this even though facts will tell you that.
LCA MK2 will most probably get an AESA which will be derived from best of russian/french/israeli and Indian tech same is the case...
here check this comment from an Indian poster
Title of the article says AESA won't be ready for batch but the actual article states AESA won't be on the first prototype (considering it is set to fly a early as 2015 that isn't surprising) which is entirely understandable. What prototypes come in...
LCA Mk2 will for sure carry AESA, don't shoot any arrows in dark. IAF wont accept any new fighter in service around 2020s without AESA which will be a very standard radar on fighters by then.
including combat proven one thing we should also look into
from which legacy the fighter is coming
rafale comes from legacy of mirage
f-22/35 comes from legacy of famous teens
pak fa comes from legacy of sukhois
j-31/j-20 from sukhoi legacy copies j-11/12/15/16 or j-7/j-10???
j-10 comes from...
propaganda and marketing tricks are well understood by everyone, as an Indian the more I see chinese propaganda pics the more I understand chinese psychology,
actually we Indians in general are not that image conscious like chinese, may be because chinese communist govt. has put the concept of...
chinese don't have an open press policy so nothing will come out, India can fit kaveri to LCA right now and you will see them nicely in air shows and military forums. But as per IAF current requirements they will never be happy with it and go public with it that GTRE/DRDO is pushing under...
china still have a long way to go to match western or even russian engine tech., the WS series are rip off of AL-31 series of engines but still have many performance and especially durability issues.
Kaveri has mainly performance issues with low thrust being produced as of now as IAF changed the...
LCA project is alive and kicking, Mk1, Mk2 and further versions will keep coming. And when the count of LCAs will be done in future the versions won't be counted the LCAs will be counted.
here new LCA trainer took flight today only<proof that LCA project is not ending with Mk1, many spin offs...
why pakistan air wants counter IAF, why dont we frnds no more counter. Indian can even give u LCA if you want on loans if frnd becomth with India?
Peace
I think french are working with DRDO already on this.
But whether or not french help India Kaveri will be brought into production in next 10-15 years.
