Pardon me , I see 4 stabilisation hydraulic arms at each corners in SPYDER as well
Doesn't that mean vehicle has to stop , stabilise itself before firing ?
Can it fire on the move ?

I am not able to edit previous message to add this link..
Some issues still pending I guess...
Surprising even to me, IAF have become stern supporter of Akash, rejecting even maîtri development ..
Just now read the news about new QRSaM development by HDL and BEL , probably VL Astra .
I'm also in your line of thinking ..
Probably LCA mk1a
Foreign tech, he meant AESA, EW and engines.. I guess.
Mk2 needed 7 years time frame even with minimum possible changes..
Is it a single engine aircraft ?
Let's forget about L - light .

Is it like a Aura but with a pilot ?
----------------------
EF engine with TVC
Israeli electronics,
Take off even from roads
7.5 ton payload
Large fuel + CFT
16 hard points
4 years time line
Power...
When someone is pushing for a project of this scale , that too like a miracle ,
One cannot imagine how much of odds he has to go through..
Even though we sound so pessimistic , we are still looking for that miracle to happen...
I feel manoj parrikar is the best DM I know of,,.
He has been blunt, often retracted his statement either because of tactic or from pressures
But definitely the Best I ve known .

If it isn't from a former pilot, I would say LSA seems like a fanboys dream.
One thing...
