Although I am not speculating but I believe these birds came to India as a part of deal with Bullet train. No wonder, gov cleared their procurement so early. And even navy didnt show requirement of any such plane in past............ Anyway, these birds are good. Let them expoit.
Very good plane. But one thing, do we really need such a big bird just to carry out SAR ( other tasks can be done by this plane but those can be performed by others as well)? I mean those 1.65 billion dollars can spend somewhere else?
Specifically, enemies P3 orion now have to drop anti ship cruise missile beyond 100km or have to reduce altitude. Enemy's air vessels cannot work freely around 100km radius which effectively hamper their operational range and efficiency.

Very true. And even now when Russia has to shift its financial resources to solve the problem of cremia and syria, upto what limit they can fund such projects? May be it was India who blackmailed Russia to give S400?

Dont keep high hopes from this project. Its just the starting. May be they delay or scrap it and built whole new fighter. Offcourse Indian involvement gives little lesser room for russian for doing this though. Keep the waiting game on in forum,:-)
Well said my friend, composite wont decrease RCS tremendously rather decrease the aerodynamic performance of fighter. But there are many circumstances inwhich both plane can be confronted. But ideally we just assume front-front confrontation and here even the slight decrease in RCS do help.
hello fellows,
I returned after long time and what I see is the speculations about PAKFA. Dont know whether i should smile or cry. As there is very narrow beam of hope from Rafale by now, so PAKFA is the only hope for IAF! but this project cancellation, on the other hand, somewhere, gives...
I am also with you. Structural wise it won't be that much different from pakfa. IAF already show red eyes to HAL on low participation. 1st flight will be 2015, so design phase is completed by now.
Not most, only sunnies. But it is not patriotism, they have soft heart towards Iran due to cultural similarity. Even in India, Muslims have soft corner in heart for PAK. Although some are too much hard core.
