Good - so we agree that same arguments apply. No Su 30 shot down since PAF has absolutely provided not a single proof PAF fighters may locked on and shot AMRAAMS at Su30's at Dmax1 range. It actually shows very poor BVR tactics by PAF - it may very well be a tactic (sort of hail mary pass) ...

Quality of the post and assertion is amazing ! Incorrect assertions ! Missiles on Mig21 found - correct; Are missiles the same IAF missiles - dont know ! R's are extremely easy to get handle. Missiles found on ebay , missiles can be sourced from iron brother, missiles sourced from afghan...

Clearly you havent read AM Philip Rajkumars and KH's account. USA did not help us write code for FBW - they were helping us test FBW in their LM test facility. Next day of sanctions - everything was captured and scientists were asked to go back to India. Sure - Algorithm can be re-written ! We...

I wasnt even going there ! Abhi has debriefed that he shot a missile - he does not know what he hit. Countless arguments have happened - till DGISPR publicly comes and accuses IAF of fudging with actual serial numbers - it does not mean anything. Surely it delights all the fanboys here ...

No - you are intrepeting the way you want to. Western manufacturing standards are different from Russian/chinese manufacturing standards. thats the point i was making. Dassault felt that HAL may not be able to meet the thresholds - it has got nothing to do with quality of jets that we are...

I see that you are a new recruit - you might feel like you have made a smart@#$ comment but it reflects dont you think its better to engage in productive discussion where you can contribute. Dassault refused to build their jets in India because they could not gaurantee its quality ! There is...

Repeat a lie so often so that country men begins to believe it. So have you guys ever found why the pilot who shot down Su 30 received a lower award to the fella who downed a Mig21 (who took down a F16). What is the logic that Pakistanis have forced themselves to believe ? I mean think about it...

Dude - we have been operating RD33 , AL's for over 3 decades and counting. We know what are the issues and MTBF. In India these issues cannot be hidden due to a very active press and RTI. In your and chinese case - you are only getting data what they want you to get - there's a difference. World...

Where did you get this figure of 1000KG from ? No - there is very minimal weight reduction if any. Even the ballast remains - that was supposed to be removed. FOC - improvements can be broadly categorized into improvements and maintainability. Out of improvements - munitions , BVR missiles and...

Loved the HD footage - seeing it for the first time. The afterburner and the sound has to be experienced !

Yes , they can be. Other than IFR - rest all the improvements will be upgraded to IOC as well. IFR will be done in MLU.

:rofl::rofl::rofl: Do one thing - why doesnt PAK get engine, radar, missiles, ejection seat, radome, ifr and gun - and build your own fighter ? Oh wait - do you guys build your own car ? No , Tejas will not be plagued because of sourcing from multiple countries. Thats like saying Gripen ...

This is what most of the posters dont get ! First step is the hardest step ! Once you cross that evolution becomes much faster and easier. An iconic picture of APJ kalams team transporting rocket head on the back.of cycle comes to mind ! That was then, now look at ISRO. Essentially there is no...

New HD pics. Great improvement in build quality - you can see the new HUD and HMDS

Good ! How can you really scope - if you never had experience before ! We all can create fancy project timelines ! But one issue comes and the entire chart goes out of the door ! Unforeseen events Just an annecdote - LCA team were testing FBW in Lockheed Martin facility in 1999 ; Next day...

On a side note - do you represent Denel industries from SA ? Good to know ! But that doesnt mean anything. Does it ! I suggest you to read book from Air Marshal Philip Rajkumar .

Have read plenty ! Part of one. I suggest - you understand how an industry is created from scratch. Curious - have seen your post couple of times. This bold , red font - is that a thing netherlands school teaches ? Is that how you articulate ?

You are comparing apples and oranges . Project management - F from what perspective ? If you look from western perspective - sure ! But then western aerospace has had the experience and knowledge. For us - it was baby steps ! It is usually said that - the first step is the hardest step ! Sure...

Deal includes spares , support and maintenance. Essentially you are looking at lifetime cost (excluding the fuel, upgrade ofcourse) and not flyaway costs !

Whats your point ? US got help from German scientists for their space/missile/atomic programe , Russia stole everything from US, China begged borrowed/stole everything , Mistibushi F2 program is taking inputs from American firms , we took help from design consultants coz there was no inhouse...
