True, The point he makes assumes that the technology has been transferred to India already. For eg. India has made immense advances in the field of composites and the cost of producing those in India is way below that of the other countries with similar technologies.

I never said anything about size affecting stealth. In fact F-35 though smaller than the F-22 has a larger RCS.

Hmm...seems to be true. But those off cases seemed to be more of a scare tactic to corner more budget or clearance of project proposals. And the media had been lapping it all up. This time seems to be a little out of place. Indian system has always tried to ensure the military does not get...

Is this some kind of a joke?? Where are the criteria for ranking?

You cannot just change an aircraft into a twin engine one. The designs for the air frame are drawn at the very start of the process and it is at this point itself that the engine configuration is decided. After decades of perfecting models and wind tunnel tests you have pretty much moved way...

Good list. My only problem is that the recent trend of updates have made classification very difficult.For eg. when you consider a simple Su 27 airframe, the recent modifications and upgrades have given rise to airplanes which fit across generations.Infact there was even a recent comment by...

Even a nation that scorns democracy finds it necessary to use one of democracy's tools -- a fair judiciary -- in order to seek a remedy to a legal dispute involving millions of dollars. The Iranian government has brought a lawsuit against the Russian government to the International Court over...

Lower weight means ease of modifications for carrier operations. Besides, it also indicates a smaller aircraft as in f-22/f-35.

I guess I'm lucky to have my house and office in HAL 2nd stage near the old airport. It stopped around 30 minutes ago. Maybe it'll continue tomorrow too.

Yeah I know. But I keep coming across references to this across websites. Could anyone else confirm?
