-I dont think that 'Narrowing PAF and IAF gap by 2015' should be viewed only on the terms of quantity and quality of the 4th generated aircrafts on both sides,it rather should also account for the narrowing of gap...
Yes I do agree with you, since the aircraft is in continuous development the specification may have changed/ improved.
However it is not just about the PAC website, but no other official source have mentioned about the new details.
So it is just my opinion that until the details are out...
If it is so then prove it by calculation. TWR calculations are very simple.
Refer below the Official specifications given by PAC Karma.
Now Lets calculate the TWR with given figures.
-TWR with Full afterburner= Max Combat Thrust/ (Empty weight + Internal Fuel)
= 19200/ (14520 +5100)
=...
I think Chinese will continue to use such kind of pressure tactics until we come on the table to discuss the disputed area in J and k territory, here i am referring to 'Aksi Chin' and not any other territory. Even though Chinese control it we still maintain a political claim over it and...
We have to remember that Mig 35 in not entirely a new fighter but a very advanced version of Mig -29. Yes structurally it is different to earlier version of mig 29 including the SMTs however they are based on airframe now used for Mig-29-K which are already in productions. The additional major...
I think my fellow Indian members are not cleared regarding the topic of discussion of this thread. The topic of the thread " JFT is 'Extremely close' to MIG-29: Mikhail Pogosyan'' talks about the concerns and speculation of the Russian media regarding the sales prospect of JF-17 in the...

Hi Notorious Eagle,
Why are you claiming TWR of 1.1 for JF-17.
Refer below the Official specifications given by PAC Karma.
Now Lets calculate the TWR with given figures.
-TWR with Full afterburner= Max Combat Thrust/ (Empty weight + Internal Fuel)
= 19200/ (14520 +5100)
= 0.987 TWR...
Any drug clinical trial conducted in India has to first receive approval from Drug Controller General of India (DCGI). Also simultaneously the medical institutions/ hospitals conducting these clinical trials needs to obtain permission from Independent Ethics Committees or Institutional Review...
My vote is for Gripen IN.
And i truly believe it will be hot favorite to win the competition, only if we assume that the political influence does not major impact on the result of the final result.
reasons,

A para from the above link
It is not just a question of getting the best aircraft. India is not a rich country and cost will also play big role in selection of these aircrafts. When I say cost I mean cost of aircraft + cost of weapons + cost of spares + other cost (maintenance hours, fuel required/ sortie, single...
