First learn to discuss as I am not answerable to you and stop calling YOU INDIANS. We Indians are proud that we are not copy-cat and don't unethically and illegally copy the technology of our arm suppliers. We Indians are proud to enter in a full scale war and win hands down as compared to...

Though the article is pointing in the right direction but my thoughts are not totally aligned with it. It could be that Chinese growth rate will slow down and for that you don't need any big analysis. It's a cyclic process. Now China is not facing any severe competition but in days to come the...

I have not heard about oil reserve in SCS. But yes there is a huge reserve of oil near your sea border in Vietnamese water.:cheesy:

I told other than engine because LCA will be fitted with GE f414-ins6 engine. The thrust of this engine is 98kn as opposed 85kn of the engine currently fitted in LCA. This will help LCA surpass the thrust to weight ratio of J-10.So you can see there is nothing wrong with LCA only we need to...

A looming test case will soon make clear how serious the defence ministry (MoD) is about its recently expressed intentions to end corruption in arms procurement by indigenising defence production. Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), the Bangalore-based public sector aircraft builder, has challenged...

The plane has become mature for opertional service, this is what he meant. Don't go on the words but try understand the essence of it and I am not quoting his speech word to word. No one has ever claimed any type of star war technologies on Tejas. And who told you it will never get inducted...

In your case Plaaf start inducting plane even when it is still a prototype. But IAF only inducts mature platform. If you leave out the shortcomings due to underpowered engine on LCA, tell me one other point where LCA is behind J-10A. Ofcourse some weapon test is still left but that will only be...

Thanks edited.

@ Sancho. I stay at kolkata and he is posted at Pune. Comes to Kolkata once a year. Very hard to have a chat again in near future. But I will remember your points to throw infront of him next time.

Not a very pleasant question Miss. Yet being a gentleman I will clear your doubts. Firstly IAF threat perception is more from PLAAF than PAF. So I would like to tell you don't consider just one stand.The strategies are designed for both end. Coming to your point,yes forward airbases lies...

He just mentioned that pilots require training whenever a new fighter plane is inducted.He wanted to mean that this is probably what they meant by saying LCA mk1 will be used only for training.

I have full faith that DRDO/ADA will deliver the required technologies needed for developnig AMCA. But I doubt DRDO ability in developing fifth gen engine when they couldn't successfully design 4th gen engine for LCA.

@sancho Does someone has any idea of the specification of PAKFA engine under development?

Oops. Sorry :hitwall:

Few days ago I had a chat with my brother-in-law who is in the navigation & control department of Sukhoi in IAF. I am listing the questions I asked him and his reply on those. Is LCA really good aircraft? Can it match the capability of other fighters of IAF? It's a good craft but it still...

If I need to Rank the present fifth gen fighters which is scheduled to enter operational service by 2025. Then I would Rank them as follows:- 1. F-22 2. PAKFA/FGFA 3. F-35 4. J-20

At what distance ABM should intercept BM in space, so as to call it a ideal mid course interceptor.

Can you post a source showing even 20 deficiency of Tejas other than it's underpowered engine. If not mention 20 parameters which according to you think Tejas is deficient in.

India has tested a two-tier missile defence shield and is getting ready to place it around its two major cities, Delhi and Mumbai. There are three issues that emerge from the deployment of this capability: will it work effectively; how will it alter Pakistan’s nuclear calculus; and will it...

We all know engine of Tejas does not provide the required Thrust level mentioned by the IAF. It is also known that AoA of 22 degree required for IOC was not met in 2011. That's why IOC-1 was given. Nothing new. It seems the author went to sleep in the year Jan 2011 and woke up last night. He...
