so the idea is to use those obsoleute fighters even more come on your a rich country migs are better than those jags or you can always have Teja bhai oh i forgot it still not gonna fly till 2016 or maybe it could always be late so that it doesn't hurt its image by flying on the giving time :D :P
1st yes (if its made 100% by you with your resources and tech) and every aircraft is the copy of an older version genius....
2nd yes if it has been modified till the tip of it...if this can not be stated like that than no aircraft is indigenous in this world
3rd no it can't
Thats why some...
if it has an space of an AESA and can carry even 3 or lets say 2 BVRs and flies even at the speed 1.6 mach i think 2 BVR's are even enough for an aircraft what ever gen it belongs to except 5th ofcourse.....
well i must say @HAIDER they were talking this and that about tejas before i came to get some info about there nearly 4 decades old project and you know what i found out ???? they are hell of a good Dodgers :D
putting AESA, a good EW suite and a BVR missile on the craft makes it as good as any 4th or 4th+ gen aircraft if not better thats not an answer dude thats dodging the question :coffee:
i read some one just said MK2 will be a different league can i ask what would be so different about MK2 ?? change in airframe ?? or internal weapons bay to make it stealthy ?? or more hard point to make it from light aircraft to medium aircraft ???
1st thing its been 14 years and still not a single plane is inducted man come on stop comparing that ..
2nd so take out 4 years out of nearly 3.5 decades still we get 3 decades :/ from 1980's till now ....
so does that means by the time our JFT blck 3 is about to get to mass production your MK1 will be ready Correct ?? So if MK2 is getting massive upgrades than it will get its mass production lets just say by 2020 so wouldn't the tejas be irrelevent becasuse FGFA would be only 4 to 5 years away...
sorry but i don't think you can even justify what your saying in order to nuetralize a threat from an enemy which is 5x larger than us and always looking to anihilate us we have the full right to deffend ourself with any thing and everything we have ...... IF america can do it even to japan...
and the entire human race lives in INDIA o_O you trying to sluaghter 22 million people is good we trying to do the same but just because our enemy is 5 times larger so larger casualties....
oh come on now thats just clossing your eyes and saying i see nothing wrong over here i saw an interview of a mother of an officer who was in kargil war and never returned on NDTV go search only the internet and you'll find dozens of those just like that .....
really what about the family's of those soldiers (of india) who still don't know whether they are alive or dead after kargil and to whom your military doesn't repond to ?????
well having twice the size of everything on military terms you always threaten us of doing cold start, surgical strikes and stuff so to nuetralize that we use what we have in numbers and that is nukes .... so we're both the same but in different ways ....:coffee:
