Well before comparisons start one will have to make certain assumptions about the LCA as it hasnt acheived a FOC as yet. However anyone trying to compare the two will first need to address the basic question of a delta vs traditional design. If one starts with the advantages of a delta...

I would discount your point in the light that we have been operating Su-30's ( which are very simillar to su-35) from round about a decade for now . To train the new pilots for Su-35 and have an operational doctrine wont be a big problem and though it is a factor albeit a miniscule one.

Just trying to suggest a reason.Well su-34 & su-35 will take a lot of time in being delivered. Its always easy and fast to upgrade the existing inventory rather than purchase new one.Also I think Russia at the moment doesnt have the industrial capacity to produce all those jets quickly and we...

Sorry for wasting ur time regarding double thread for Ghazwa e .... May I suggest that if possible then mention the reason for banning a particular member( specifically). The reason I say so is that some members with very high post counts have been banned and it baffles me that how people with a...

If that is so then I stand corrected. No need for me to google , I trust you, but I definately know about russians validating their design by keeping paper planes on their knees to check for the balance of the aircraft(or maybe they lie @ discovery channel :P) and other stuff and that russians...

In my personal opinion the Mikoyan Gurevich beaureau has produced the jets which have been the most suitable for the job they have been ordered for. The beauty of Russian design all come at one place when we talk about Mikoyan-Gurevich. Aircrafts taking off with semi-prepared airstrips , taking...

Hi guys First of all sorry if this is the wrong forum to be posted but just was disturbed after watching the videos below.I was just going through some of the videos on pakistan and found the link below. Now I am dont have a lot of knowledge on balochistan but something is definitely...

The act of destroying one's religious places is definately a scar on the secularity , civility & freedom of expression of any country . The demolition of the babri masjid is definitely a kind of curse on our country.( The shram sevaks who were going to aid building the temple were burnt alive...

Hi guys Well the first thing that stuck me was the title of the thread : This Indian Land Is Chinese Land :chilli: Somehow I think the title is assertive and what I can make out is that the author of the thread or the article which is being quoted is quite confident of Chinese claim on...

So I guess we have a concensus that the delta design bleeds more energy than the conventional design:cheers:. Now I think we can concentrate on the real question which I started the thread for: What is the operational doctrine for operating such aircrafts?:sniper:

Well I dont understand from which part of my post did you get the impression that I was comparing indian pilots to iraqi ones? I simply mentioned a scenario where technology fails and human capabilities take over and that if one is not prepared for them then one has to pay( btw the doctrines...

People in pentagon thought days of dogfighting were over (prior to vietnam) hence they designed f4-phantom without a gun and well paid for it during the vietnam air war. Not only pilots lacked the advanced dogfighting skills(tactics) the absence of gun was very disadvantageous in close combat...

Well just wanted to say that the delta configuration will bleed more energy in a turning fight(as compared to a conventional design) .Although the Tejas has a better thrust to weight ratio I think a turning fight will not be something that a Tejas would like to get into. :hang2: Whats your...

Hi guys As we all know that the main interceptor force for the IAF has been Mig-21 which will be replaced by Tejas . Both are small and both have delta configuration. Although Tejas seems to be a great fighter I have a few questions about the pure dogfighting capability/doctrine of the same...

Sorry Xinix , but due to my lack of knowledge or image deciphering skills i am unable to understand your point. ( If you're trying to contest that the avionics can substitute for the rear sight then I wouldnt like to agree with you ( Su-30 mki's,Eagles and even mirage2000 in a few instances...

Hi guys Though this is my first post, I have been following this forum for a few months. The pics are beautiful for sure and though LCA might be some way of from IOC or FOC I feel proud of all the stakeholders involved. I have my concerns though. By looking at the pics I am getting the...
