Lets hope there no more new deadlines :)

I did not understand on one hand he says its not delayed and on another he says its End of 2015. Does it not mean the FOC is delayed by 1 year from Dec 2014 to dec 2015.

What about Akash MK2 (With improved range and active seeker), when can we expect that.

May not be completely true but what Prasun writes makes sense. TRISHUL: Compounded Irrationalities Due To Systematic Stupidity-1 Compounded Irrationalities Due To Systematic Stupidity-1 As the saying goes, “Those who know much, talk little”. But its meaning seems to have been lost on India’s...

Looks like both the versions LCA MK2 and NLCA MK2 are completely different A/Cs. Both have quite diff dimensions. Official LCA Tejas Brochure 2015 Official LCA Navy Brochure 2015 Courtesy Karan BRF.

I found this interesting: Luftwaffe MiG-29 experience - positives and negatives

Read somewhere ( in a chat with IAF/Navy Pilots). When someone asked the engagement range of derby whether its 60KM then the pilot laughed and said its more than 60 KM. Of course its less than r-77. also according to him the kill prob is more with Derby than with r-77 ( I mean its more resistant...

I am not Sure why India is not talking for Euro fighter. I understand Dassault won the competition for exclusive talks but there needs to be a timeline for closure. Does anyone have any input on this?

I think France is more inclined to sell these planes but Dassault is not as it has thriving civilian aircraft business. :(

Similarly F22

This is the new Technology we should adopt: Request Rejected Another factor which I observed while working at CEA was the PLF is quite low in Eastern grid plants e.g. the PLF is 80-85% in South india, 70% in west, 60% in North and around 40% in East. since our main sources of coal are in East...

Yesterday been to Dindigal (Near Hyd), MKI's did some spectacular displays there e.g cobra, stall, free fall etc. I did not carry camera to take any decent pics :( . Any idea why that show was there.

A naive question - Does it make sense to have 2 types of fighter aircraft on such small carriers? as we need maintenance facility weapons, spares, separate technicians etc etc on these carriers, Not sure whats the logic. in fact NLCA doesn't make sense on these when 29K is deployed. Any expert...

Any idea why the MK2 is delayed further by 2 years and will it make sense to Airforce beyond 2025 ( As per Prasun's dates). I posted the same question in Sticky as well... Seniors any thoughts please?

Thanks for the info, but hey what happened to first flight in 2015 Q1, Why 2 more years of delay. When ADA/HAL know that MK2 is what Forces want why they are delaying it even further, Not sure if this would be relevant for forces beyond 2025 ( I mean they should ideally induct the all the 8...

I missed this news- But he shared another good news: two Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft developed by DRDO should be delivered to the Indian Air Force (IAF) within six months, or mid-2014. DRDO developed its own phased array radar, and has put in on board three Brazilian...
