There aren't any J-10B coming as of now.... you've had enough BS on this here on the forum.
You are trying to compare a large aperture(990mm) and highly powerful(7-10KW) Phased array radar with a small sized(660mm) and low powered(550W) slotted planer array... there can't be any competition...
None of the devices tested during Shakti 1998 tests were above 100kg.
The most important device weighed about 60-70Kg and had the yield of 40Kt.
However the one of the device which stands out in particular was a kiloton BF device which used reactor grade plutonium.
The performance parameters were available for the DRDO EMB-145 AEW&C... It was 300km for a 2m^2 RCS target.
The Field view is only a matter of time... once they validate the software in the air they can bring changes to it making the antenna steer extra few degrees to achieve around about the...
There is an altogether different seeker in development for Astra.
It would be in Ku-band and not X-band.
X-band seeker would have a larger antenna size hence we cannot fit such seeker inside a small missile like Astra.
Ku/Ka-band seekers are small enough to be fitted inside a small missile like...
I know the seeker for Astra has been imported from AGAT.
However we have our own active seekers in development for astra in Ku-band... other than that we do make active seekers for missiles.
Here's another active seeker working in Ka-band.
Tested on ground or air the Radar would perform as it is supposed to perform.. It will identify targets and give a track them accordingly.
What I am trying to say here is that capability of making such an antenna has been demonstrated...we can put an extra array in triangular form in S-band or...
I take your words.. since Mirages and Mig 29s would play a lead role in any indo-pak conflict... more than the Su30 which perhaps would be used in support roles and to conduct strikes by taking a loop around the Arabian sea.
About Indians pumping about Su30... Its same as people in Pakistan...
If PAF is not worried about Su 30MKI then they are stupid.
A fleet more than the size of the entire PAF air-air combat strength and growing at much faster rate than the entire PAF both in Quantity and Quality.
The radar system has been under rigorous test for many years before being mounted on the EMB-145.
The AWACS program has been since a long.
There has to be a level of ambition if we ever want to achieve any thing in future the bar keeps raising as the goals are met... even a runner keeps a...
AWACS India program could have private partnership... the main reason for delays in Radar projects are the nonavailability of proper semiconductor fabrication industry whatever we make has to be imported from outside... once of the reason why buying phalcons from Israel has been a lengthy and...
154 Kg would be too heavy for a MANPAD.
If we make it small enough the active radar seeker might not fit in the nose.
However we can mount it on a small jeep and make a system comparable to what Avenger is.
Delays are not going to stop the procurement plans IAF is more interested in AWACS India program than DRDO AWACS mounted on EMB-145 aircraft.
Long term goal is to have about 9 such platforms including the 3 phalcons we already have...delays are an integral part when the industry is new and...
And I wonder why most 5th Gen fighters including the F-22A raptor, Su-T50 PAKFA, Chengdu J-20 all have the TVC ?.. It shoots beyond my head that TVC is so bad to have and unworthy and the engineers in Russia, US and China aren't as smart as a few Pakistanis and Bangladeshis who would've hardly...
More so at near sea level as it would have better performance and much higher load carrying abilities... however the main purpose of LCH was to support the mountain crops on the Indo-Tibetan border with strong fire power.
For Anti-Armor roles Apaches would lead the pack... along with LCH and...
You are right wikipedia is not a trustworthy source the WZ-10 Helicopter is powered by two WZ-9 turboshaft engine of 950kW power class... which makes up upto 2x1280 SHP... and not 2x1350.
Hence the load carrying capability is less than that of LCH... the Service ceiling is also not very good and...
