Thanks for using the word "cardiomegaly"! :)

This is the only good resolution pic of the upgraded MiG 29 I could find. Just check this hump! This SMTII upgrade will mean huge increase in fuel capacity and range. This bird is much more lethal now!

We will have to bolster out target acquisition and underwater communication capabilities if we want to fully exploit the potential of Sub launched Brahmos.

:lol: On the flip side, the enemy may down the aircraft first...... Enemy SAM commander to his deputy, " Damn it, Sergei! I think we've downed an ambulance again!":eek:

It has more to do with tradition, once assigned you do not change symbols like these. Also, it is just one of the many insignia that mark an aircraft as belonging to particular country. There are other ways to identify an aircraft like 1, The roundel. A roundel in heraldry is a disc; the...

What you are looking at is known as "Fin Flash". The Indian Air Force uses a vertical national colors as fin flash. Between 1947-1948 in 1:1 version and from 1948 onward in 2:3 version. Here is a SU 30 mki tail shot.

1. Me too,bro! Move over J LO! ;) 2. Technical difficulties in developing such an exhaust apart; I still do not think that we will have raptor like exhausts as they impose a penalty on thrust. The snecma-Kaveri is good but not good enough to tide over that penalty and still deliver the...

Latest pics from inauguaration ceremony.

Good analysis, mate! I think this model is more conventional than the earlier one. The earlier curved wing seems to have gone a bit angular and straighter. The intakes are not smaller, just the shape has been altered to diamond from an earlier rectangular (trapazoidal) one. More stealth...

1. Yes, that seems to be the case. Some intake changes (inspired by Sea harrier) will be seen as early as NP-2 (fighter version) roll out. 2. IRST---- No response from the authorities. Maybe with the radar and the retractable fuel probe, they ran out of the real estate to accommodate the...

Breaking news! After a lot of hammering I was finally told that this is not the final design! This is one of the early concepts when two models were being developed for two engines in the fray. This will change! Though, we do not know how much the change will be! LEVCON is still a...

Here are my two cents about the LCA mk2. * First, let me make it clear that the die hard jingo in me is extremely angry at this and most probably join benny in his stone pelting spree!:shout: I did expect some changes in the mk2 design (at least hoping it would "look" a bit cooler!).. And...

Sorry, mate! Sometimes, the trolls break one's composure. You know my views on the china better than many others. And you also know that facing same half baked arguments again and again can be frustrating. You have made such harsh statements against India,too. What I find irritating is...

Wow! That is a looooong post with so little substance, almost a record! I'll just reply to sensible part in the post and forget the rest (LCA is integrated and else....) when did India become 'service' industry? even China dont claim itself as 'service' oriented industry! you souldnt have...

AVM PP Katarki CABS,DRDO “Indian AEW&C System” * No clear indication about the range and coverage of the primary radar! It is said to be a work in progress. Ultimate target of 300 degree coverage (150 on each side) was heard off the podium. Features-- 1. Aircraft...

Mr. KS Vara Prasad PD, DRDL, DRDO “HELINA Long Range Air-To-Ground Missile for Attack Helicopters” HELINA is being developed in two phases. 1. First version will be NAG + some LRUs + booster for increased range. 2. Second version will have long range IIR seeker for...

That is great, can we co ordinate our efforts to create a complete AE 2011 seminar database? I could not attend the other two symposiums (UAV-1, and Airborne Surveillance), can someone put their gist too? Also, interesting activity in audito B than C!
