Tejas is a point defense fighter with short range so if we shave of 1.5 tons of fuel then it may not be of any use at all. what I mean is 1.5 tons of fuel translates to around 1900 litres, which is less than half of internal fuel (3000 L internal). As far as I know the range of Tejas without...

Hi MK1 payload is around 3 tons MK1 with its additional weight might just be 3 tons I believe they might increase it to 4 tons for mk2 version

Hi, Indian Navy has got its own mmrca so it will be only for IAF. I do not think 2 bidders winning the deal. And I seriously doubt if IAF would be interested in having Super hornet in their kitty and get them verified frequently( End user monitoring). Pl note Navy really got irritated by...

Well solution was ready but .... Kashmir solution just a signature away: Kasuri

As far as I understand EF is the best fighter in the competition when it is fully developed, but thats good 5 years delayed and I don't think we can wait that long. It looks like F 35 and EF are in similar states, one is in prototype stage and other is in initial stages of development ( Only...

Some more points from another forum

Hi Sancho, I agree with you about the per unit cost of Rafale 67m$ is without maintenance etc. but we should see that the cost of SH is 55 m$, NG 50 m$ what I mean to say is total package of all the fighters will still be very high unlike what has been claimed for NG. so when we are comparing...

If we take the euro pricing i.e. 54m euro then its current conversion is 67 M $. which is pretty reasonable per unit price. And I feel the same (uncertainties) about NG. Any comments Tx Sri

I found some interesting points from Brazil competition. like Rafale was offered at 78m$ etc. pl check the info below From Some brazilian news translated and posted to http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?t=95786&page=26

If this is actually the case then IAF has every right to show displeasure. I think what is needed now is MOD assuring IAF that kaveri will never be used in Tejas prog( As kaveri has already missed the bus:cry:) . Kaveri can find other fighters like MCA (If pg is funded:lazy:)

But these enhancements as far as I understand do not add upto 37 M$ (Difference 77$ - 40 M $ Current) There should be something more to the deal:cheers: Any thoughts

Thanks mate, that was a good joke, You are really funny:pakistan:

Its quite puzzling to me right now, As far as I understand SU 35BM is being offered at 65 M$ and our MKI will be costing 12m$ more. So can we believe that it will be more potent than SU 35BM in terms of RCS, RADAR etc? any thoughts:cheers: Tx Sri.

Hey thats very expensive, almost 77 M$ :undecided:can anyone tell me why is it so expensive even though we are assembling it in HAL. Tx Sri.

Hi Dash, As far as I understand the current EJ provides only 5-6 kn extra thrust [ge404 IN is 84 KN], I think what was on offer is upgraded EJ i.e. around 95-99 kn with TVC. Seniors please comment. My guess is they will redesign the Air intakes as the Air force is not happy with the current...
