Sorry i edited my post...I calculated using 9,500 kg as the take of weight of LCA

Well but the numbers don't add up. Can you please check using a calculator? I calculated using a calculator with 9,500 kg as the weight of LCA. The thrust of the RD 93 is at 86 kn with emergency thrust and GE F-404 is rated at 91 kn in emergency thrust. The gravitational acceleration is 9.8...

It is around 0.86 when fully loaded.

Well I have my doubts in it. The MiG 21 had better turning capability and more power compared to the Mirage III in the Arab-Israeli conflict of the 60s and 70s. But the Israelis managed to out climb and out accelerate the MiG 21s. The JF 17 may have a better sustained turn rate but the LCA has a...

Wheeled or tracked?

Do you understand the word spin?

Well so have they solved the autorotation problem of J 10A in the B version? Seems the spin tests did not go well again?

Remember we are the customers and Customers are always right.

We will not. Don't worry. They are getting frustrated everyday. And more their frustration builds and we are calm they will be shown in bad light.

It is not the airframe design or the avionics that matter here. We need engine technology. It must be a 3rd gen Turbofan with Variable cycle. Cant have a leaky engine like the RD 33 or the GE 404. Above all a proper project management.

Straight from the horses mouth. No denying it.

Bad idea. After sales support of HAL sucks big time. Ask the Ecuadorians if you want.

Yes most of them are stupid idiots. Party loyalty comes first in China.That is what happens in totalitarian regimes. And when was the last major international exercise that you had? So how much exposure and where did your commanding officers get them from? What is the promotion criteria for a...

Well I never denied that....what I told was about the increase in PLAN forces. The speed at which China is building Amphibious landing crafts and helicopter carriers they must be restructuring for amphibious operations. It is one of the most difficult operations and it is a nightmare for any...

Now they need to start training for the most effed up operations in all of warfare...'Amphibious landings'. Instead why not integrate these soldiers as Marines and give them better training?

So? We need a weapon that can go to war and achieve operational objectives, not just because we made it. The operational situation right now needs a medium weight category aircraft with range and payload for deep strike missions like SEAD and deploying PGM. LCA does not have the capability yet...

LCA neither has the range or the payload or the proven capability along with weapon diversity.

Idiots cant even bring SCB tech from lab to manufacturing..why the hell do they need this experimental foundry?

The major problem is we tried to integrate a lot of stuff into a very small airframe. That made it overweight. The worst requirement was for a true delta to have a STR of 28 degrees. Which is impossible as the delta is already a draggy airframe. And the airforce did not want to have levcons or...

Yes but we are not going to take it out into high seas and fight far away from the mainland. If you are going to bring subs and fight in the Indian ocean it rather be nuclear.
