I am not completely sure about this, Somewhere I read: In olden days SATI started due to the loss at war. i.e. the army which won the war used to take away the fallen one's women therefore these women thought dieing along with husband was honorable/better than becoming like Pros. Things seems...

Yes it does look big in LSP8

Some interesting points on the Performance improvements needed in MK1. Its a old doc not sure if they have already implemented. Excuse if already posted...

"Astra is still in development and something tells me that the seeker will be pretty close to derby/P4... " Are we not using AGAT seeker of R77 for Astra?

So only 4 ACs will be delivered instead of 8 as mentioned in Business standard article. Tejas LCA sprints towards IAF's frontline squadron | Business Standard

If they can put the same kind of pressure till End of 2014 for FOC then we can expect some good progress. Anyway congrats to ADA and IAF.

I think its R-73E again along with HMD support on a live target. Waiting eagerly for Radar guided trails to happen ( Derby with 2032).

LSP 5 or LSP4 LSP8 I do not think there are any visible differences, Can any one find any?

The 5th Generation Is Cursed Not sure if already posted. Interesting as it shows what Russia is offering and what india is looking for.

The current paint job is with the nano paint ( Radar absorbing paint) which was developed for T-50? In fact there was some video on robotic arm for painting purpose ( to get even layer I believe).

I have a question, Why IN is not looking for nuclear propulsion for IAC2, I believe the one on Arihant can be tweaked ( slightly bigger) to generate the required energy? Is this feasible? or IN not confident about nuclear prop for now? Tx

Did they start testing with radar? did LCA get new radome?

"Defence Aviation has learnt that the radar was a Hybrid version of Israel’s Elta EL/M-2032 which is currently in service with Indian Navy on its Sea Harrier fleet. The radar is mechanically steered and most components are of Indian origin. The processor of the radar is of Israeli origin similar...

IMHO in the end it would be a hybrid similar what we have in MK1 ( i.e. 2032 + Ind stuff). As developing Aesa in the stipulated time is not possible ( Looking at our past record). Or may be Desi Aesa is tagetted for MLU of Mk2

Now I believe the 2052 Aesa is on offer - Advanced Systems Improve Tejas’ Fighting Skills - Defense Update - Military Technology & Defense News Earlier it was barred due to MMRCA competition which now US fighters have lost. Pl comment... Tx
