My only wish is "in this negotiation process, India should not be on the losing side". If need be GoI should cancel the deal rather compromising. I have a very big heart in favour of Su 35. I think it will outperform Rafale in all technological aspect. And also a big nose for Ibris E AESA radar...
Indian Army today held a spectacular demonstration of its fire power with 155 mm Howitzers blazing and multi-role helicopters displaying their might in the sky at the annual event organised by Artillery Division at Deolali Camp near here.
Under Exercise Topchi, major artillery guns...
Little out of topic but I am in favour of Su 35 over Rafale. New gen Su 35 will not only be better than Rafale but also way cheaper
as comparatively lesser technology transfer will require as it is built over Su 30 of which some technology we already possess.
In the summer of 1971 when Babru Bhan Yadav returned after a year of naval training in Vladivostok, Russia, he carried with him a secret that he could not tell even his family. Yadav had been made the Squadron Commander of the 25th Missile Squadron based at Mumbai. Under his command were Osa...
Dude there lies the problem. When everything has been kept classified, how come you came know that much about JF-17 or J-10 either. It is only that some some trolling member in the forum has mentioned something and other just followed it blindly.
There were many who claimed many of the Su-30mki...
Both the missile are of different class. Their strategic usage in the respective forces will also be different. Thus it is very difficult to compare. But my only fear is for how long this thread can survive troll free comments.
Dude I respect your sentiment. But don't let this become reality. And I strongly feel this is one of the reason for this delay of Kaveri.In 1989 when money was sanctioned for developing Kaveri engine, everyone questioned India's ability to develop indigenous engine but DRDO claim that they will...
Atleast I don't deny that. Though India will never do this but even today if India start re-engineering Russian made products, we will not achieve what China has achieved by re-engineering.
For USAV, 50kn dry thrust and 70 kn afterburner thrust is good enough.
But I don't understand what made GTRE wait for so long to take the decision to go for foreign partner. They should have taken this decision in 2008 itself or in 2003-2004 when all the sanctions were lifted.
Yes, I have no proof but I am relying on Russia's and USA's experience of designing a fighter aircraft. And it is not hidden. Their technology has always been superior to China's. Hence I have some mean from where I have drawn the above conclusion. What is your logic to oppose my claim.
You better go to Chinese defence and hound there. Rafale is a world class fighter and I have not given this tag to Rafale but it is given by the world defence analyst and it was again proven in Aero India.
As far as J-10B goes, who has compared it with any fourth gen fighter. Chinese...
Don't worry, Rafale will be good enough for your junk 20. I doubt China's ability to design 5th gen fighter close to the technology level of USA or Russia. China is still atleast a decade behind Russia in terms of fighter building technology.
So what? Rafale is way superior than your J-10B.
If you think I have change the number and facts, then I request you to post the original number and facts with proof from any official document.
In my case, I have use Chinese defence, wikipedia and few other defence websites to quote the figures.
Dude I am ok with that. Having some aircraft and maintain the total strength is better option than retiring and lowering the total strength. Same what IAF is doing with Mig 21. It's close to fourth gen after update to Mig 21 bison but it's airframe & body is not in the condition to sustain the...
May not outperform but match J10B.
1. J 10 combat radius is 550km without aerial refueling whereas Tejas combat radius is 850 km without aerial refueling.
2. J 10B will able to carry 6 ton of payload and if it carries drop tank to increase it's range it's weapon load will decrease to 4.5 ton...
