Thunders operational cost is way high compare to Gripen, also very low performer than Gripen in every role. But Thunder's flyaway cost is too low and it is also easy to induct in BAF as they are traditional operating Russian/Chines aircraft.
Initially Gripen would be burden on you but in long...
And what about maintenance cost of flankers. That is multiple time of Gripen. As in past BD got problems of maintaining of Mig29. Gripen is best solution for BD right now.
Dont wann destroy party, but Gripen NG is right now is ranout of problems especially in full speed. So always keep plan B for your airforce. BTW it is best aircraft at its cost.
Yes, engines will upgrade for 20-30% more power.
Also come with 3D thrust vector.(15deg in vertical & 8deg in horizontal)
May be I am wrong bez exact power of engine is not unveil.
If you are talking about jamming of AESA radar than, yes.
This "entire spectrum" is in fact very narrow for any useful application. And signal coding is useless if signal/noise ratio is almost zero. You can say AESA a PC/ network more than a radar.
But if it comes gnd based AESA, than no...
Yes Mki will use lower power engine compare to Su35. But its not a problem bez traditionally Mki is using lower power engine compare to other Flankers.
Seriously bro, HAL's only achievement is Dhruv so far. While it take 40 years to make such a platform for USA.
And also IMRH is also in different league.
I do agree with V22 in IN.
But my doubt is about IAF's requirement. It certainly provide advantages over existing helis. v22 is hybrid of heli & plane. It do vertical take-off & landing and achieve speed upto 400-500km/h easily.
But V22 rotor less than half of Chinooks rotors, means area of...
LETS SEE history.............
Vietnam (with junk) gave tough fight to USA.
Serbia ( with junk) gave tough fight to NATO.
India(with junk) gained decisive edge against PAk.(I am not saying victory bez it will initiate troll)
Iraq lost by NATO without struggle.
Syreya lost by Isreal as you...
yes, i know. Thats why it is under consideration by in. I want so complete span of a/c durind take of.
V22 doesnt have any awacs, it is underdevelopment. What it provide is hight for awacs not speed.
