Check your facts. Rafale does carry 9 tonnes of external payload. Why are you taking the loaded weight, subtracting it with the maximum weight, and giving that number? I think you are confusing loaded weight with empty weight. But even still, if you subtract the maximum weight with that of the...

Very nice question. The answer is very simple, Composites! MKI is basically a 4th Gen Twin seater Su-27UB plane souped-up to 4.5 Gen standards. It has an all metal airframe with very minimal use of composites. Carbon fibers are very very strong and sturdy while at the same time lighter than...

Wrong! The above is a perfect example of some dumbasss reporter who doesn't know the difference between sorties and flying hours. See the Presentation of JF-17 Chief Designer, very first slide - The chief designer of JF-17 presents the plane at Dubai Air Show- YouTube

That's 10000 sorties, not hours. A sortie is from take-off to landing. A sortie could very well last even 5 mins. Given the fact that this is a brand new aircraft with it's manuals still not complete and a lot of unknowns... i doubt each sortie will last an hour. Also is the fact that it has no...

Like I said the range of the N-001 radar for 100% detection probability will be much lower than 150km for sure. Maybe even less than a 100km. BARS was the best radar at that time and IAF made a good decision to get it even though canards got added as a result and the resulting speed drop and...

This is excellent news. I bet not even half a squadron has been upgraded by now. And luckily both the radars are manufactured by Zhuk. So less re-negotiation hassles. Already the new Zhuk-AE has achieved the promised range of 185 km(close to 200km), much much higher than the 120km of the...

Chinese Su-27s are old, so lets neglect that, but their Su-30s mostly have N-001E and N-001VEP radars which are slotted array radars with an air-air range of 150km for 5m2 target, while Su-30MKI has N-011M BARS PESA radar which has an air-air range of 140km for a Mig-29 sized target(said to be...

Bangladesh's most advanced fighter aircraft is the MiG-29. Eight examples, including a pair of two-seaters, were delivered in 2000. The first batch of MiG-29 pilots was trained in Russia and MiG company test pilots also conducted training locally. Since introduction, a number of BAF pilots have...

Just re-read again and there were quite a lot of silly errors which unfortunately changed the entire meaning of sentences. I was quite busy yesterday and just raced through the reply without proper proof-reading. I bet many of you were scratching your heads reading some of the sentences I wrote...

Delta wings does have poor STR because of high drag of those wings as it requires more engine power to compnsate which both LCA and mirage-2000 doesn't have, but its ITR is quite high due to low wing loading. Mirage-2000 has higher ITR than the F-16, and same as that of the MiG-29. MiG-29's ITR...

Nice questions. But I bet many ppl don't even know what those terms mean. So i'll go over them first. Angle of Attack(AoA) is the maximum angle an aircraft makes against the air flow. Practically it means, the greater the angle of attack, the more vigoursly you can turn. If the Angel of attack...

Right...... :lol:

Who knows. He may have been playing with photoshop to get some cheap hits on his blog and his work. And looks like it worked pretty well. That thing is almost everywhere. It looks pretty lit to me.

Indian Source? That is not an indian source, that is Prasun Sen Gupta. Looks like you don't know much about that guy. He also claims, "The MLU kits for the PAF's original 40 F-16A/Bs and 26 F-16A/Bs did contain the APG-68(V)9radar but this component of the order was later withdrawn at...

Just think its suspicious as I previous mentioned. In any case, I don't wish to dwell on it further. And one more fast fact, that famous brochure may indeed be official but it was not taken from any official website. It's from Prasun K Sengupta who scanned it and posted on his blog. T/W...

I know about the "130km for fighter sized target" story. If I were you I'd wait for a bit longer before the finer details of that figure emerges. We all saw what happened to the 10,000kgf RD-93 story.

As a result of those improvements, the current range is now 85km for 5m2. Check the date of that publication. Check the date of this one - KLJ-7/10 Fire Control Radar (FCR) (China) - Jane's Avionics "The radar can reportedly manage up to 40 targets, monitor up to 10 of them in...

OMG!!! :lol: :lol: That's almost the speed of an ICBM! :lol: Times of India at it again. If this is the level of intelligence of these reporter scum, then imagine the facts presented after the above statement in that article! These people make even the Tejas look good.

(5/3)^1/4 * 75 Aim-7 in PAF's inventory? Seriously? Is there no limit to a fanboy's dreams? First off, Janes, is not wikipedia or Global security. God! Second, a 105km for 5m2 range is the same as the radar range of the Mirage-2000-5, Mirage-2000-9 and F-16 Block-52. These 2 radars have...
