Hi The Upgrade details are given here TRISHUL: IAF's MiG-29UPG Upgrade Package Detailed Seems to be pretty decent upgrade :)

Its not Pressure cooking, just trying to show whats being reported in the week of its biggest achievement. May be our media needs to behave in a more mature way. Chill guys...

Hey Guys the below report says he Tejas is touted as a fly-by-wire system; that is, one that uses sophisticated computer electronics to make it as foolproof as possible. A fly-by-wire aircraft normally has four circuits for each connection, meaning even if one circuit to the landing gear fails...

.:: MiG-LFI / I-2000 ::. There is not much info available on this

The Per unit cost of Super hornet looks very interesting at 94 Million, also Raptor at 355 m$. I always thought SH was relatively cheaper but that doesnt seems to be the case :(

The biggest reason why they are doing cockpit redesign is to reduce weight of the aircraft by at-least 300-400KGs --> According to Ajay shukla. Of-coarse this will also help is removing obsolete stuff in the cockpit.

Can't we get our MKI's do the same job? My understanding is SU 34 does not offer anything extra in terms of weapons load or long distance endurance. Not sure about the RCS of this baby when compared to MKI :). Thanks Sri.

Ideally yes, AC itself cannot be of much use, it needs support from subs, destroyers, frigates etc to form a Battle group.

The bolded part is not making sense at all to me and these numbers have cropped couple of times. do they mean striking the fighters at sea level at mach 1.2 to 1.4? Tx Sri

I agree with you to some extent and I believe the success of LCA now solely depends on what they are bringing to the table with MK2 version like better t/w, weapon load, LO design, internal fuel , AESA etc I believe ADA & HAL should get it dead right for the survival of LCA PG or it might remain...

This looks really interesting :cheers:

Most of todays aircrafts go much faster than that, so it may be only for chasing and not for killing :what::cry:

It looks like a strealth fighter, and they wanted a stealth fighter as a trainer :what:, anyway it looks great. what we are going to get is only its technologies anyway not the aircraft so does make it all that interesting.

Brahmos -2 I believe the range cannot go beyond 500 KM because international arms restrictions - MTCR restrictions ( Since its a JV ) Tx Sri

Thanks Kinetic, I thought Navy wants to operate 3 carriers from 2015 onwards and Viraat will be retired once IAC - 2 is in service ( Viraats life is extended till 2020 I think) Tx Srini.

Does anyone knows its payload? Also can it used on Viraat ( If arrestor hook is installed) thanks in advance. Tx Sri

Thanks a lot Prateek, I have one more doubt - Will it be on par with Spectra or the one on F 35?

Hi I searched everywhere even in Geo tv, network site, there is no mention of mmrca. its confusing because when there is a imp strategic news (Pakistan's perspective as well) it will be updated on internet as well. Is there any other source on net? Tx Sri.

Hi, Will it be possible to add arrester hook to Virat? What I mean is Virat might serve us till 2020 but I do not think its aircrafts can(Sea harriers). So will it be possible to use Tejas on Virat? I see that 226M of length, 49m of beam ( should be sufficient I guess) Tx Sri

With strengthing of under carriage, landing gear and MTOW at 12.5 T, what will be its payload? will it be atleast 2T? Tx Sri.
