You are wright, I think HAL imported core of Al31 from Russia, but as you initial claim that HAL doesn't produce blades is baseless.
Although we developed core tech for Kveri & it is working but its too inferior compare than modern jet engines. Thats why now we are using M88 core & redesign...
I was talking about drag produces by fighters, which include whole airframe of a/c.:agree:
You can see LCA's TWR is equal to Rafale/typhoon while these 2 claims for supercruise while LCA:disagree:
:no::no::no:
nice try but here......
power of engine is 75kn. So approximate ~8400kg of thrust.
while 2 engines....
so total thrust.....8400*2=16800kg,
while 20 ton is MTOW not combat weight, so combat weight will be little low (~16t) so by dry thrust it have 1+ TWR (same as LCA).
Supercruise...
Just wait bro, you will see how many projects will face extreme delay.
Only RAFALE want ~20 billion$, in which more than 40% will spent next 5 years. Now much more versatile deals like low altitude defence system, attack helis+++++ are fine examples fow which 100B$ is :tdown: And dont forget...
No I am not just talking about this year, but also past few years as well as near future (even budget will grow by some extend). This money is very low, especially you can see last few year tenders & their quantity.
They demand too much money, so MoD has few option either induct them in...
No, Apache will come India by scheduled. In last decades IA was modernizing their pivot corps & its sub-arms, but now as you can see they suddenly changed their concern completely towards strike corps............:what:don't know the reason but our pivot corps also wants money & they are much...
Particularly, you are right 1st 3 reasons are enough to scrap the deal. But come here buddy & visit here sometime, you will find how much budget cut is facing by militry. Now they need to priotrised there needs while most of our equipment are outdated.
So 4th factor is too much reasonable as...
Its bad news for Pakistan.
1-This is scraped because other more sensible defense project will not face delay due to money like RAFALE.
:eek:
2- This will lead IA/IAF to induct our own LUH which is still on paper & can not find its future in armed forces.:anz:
As I was predicting. This deal is now in **** box.
Few factors were responsible for that deal---
1- Better quality of ALH rather than expected & introduction in huge #. ALH are performing too many roles which were previously done by Chetak/cheetah.
2- IA/IAF give order of 20-25...
:smokin:
A2A capability, there is no thing for attack helis. You just need to put good A2A missile in heli & it will have A2A capability.
Even Mistral was tested in Rudra. Every heli have such capability APACHE,COBRA, even worst heli, its completely depend on users.
