@BATMAN And this is an elite member. In the whole article, Pakistan came up once, and that was just to mention where the UAVs will be deployed. Not one sentence in the article alludes to the purchase being a reaction to Pakistan's own UAV procurement.
Not exactly, large portion of the labor is definitely low skilled, but the sheer numbers are such that even though the skilled labor are a relatively small portion, the numbers are quite big, and high skilled labor does not necessarily concentrate in electronics, industrial manufacturing counts...
1) I don't think India is loosing to China because of FTAs, rather due to the slow nature of Indian diplomacy. And is is not just FTAs or with South Asian or African countries. It is the trend with all Indian Foreign relations. Fortunately or Unfortunately. I am a strict adherent of slow yet...
If I was looking to milk the inauguration as a election strategy, I would have multiple inaugurations instead of one, keep the people talking for as long as possible about the good (real or perceived) I have done. One single inauguration and people talk for a few days and almost forget it...
What you have said is mostly true, a strong Indian economy is good for BD and vice versa. As much as some of the other BD posters like to claim that ASEAN should be the primary trading partner for BD, they dont realize that it is India (and Myanmar) that border her and have a greater chance of...
I should have better phrased my question. Is it good to have the inlets above and behind the wing root? Anyway, gambit has explained it in a simple sentence.
Exactly, that was the explanation I was looking for. Thank you.
My whole point of bringing you, @Penguin and @Oscar into this thread was to get a few doubts cleared on some general fighter design philosophies, not to discuss the 313 in particular. Thank you for your input.
Thank you for the reply, but my question here was not entirely 313 specific. I just wanted to know if it is a good design philosophy to have air intake above the wing root, I have not seen an single fighter jet with such a design, so i was wondering if this is a design constraint to have intakes...
Sorry, but it fires 30 MM rounds. You are probably confusing with the OTO Merala 76 mm main gun found on Brahmaputra class frigates or the AK-176 main gun.
@Oscar, @gambit, while we are on it, I have a doubt. It would be great if you could clarify it. In post # 154 @kollang has claimed that since 313 has air intakes above the wing, there is more space for weapons bay. I have my doubts on this.
Also, I believe having the intakes above the wing root...
Should not have expected more than this from you. Since you cannot back up even a single claim, you resort to such statements and weasel yourself out of answering my questions. Bravo!!!!!
1) I have gone through the video, all i saw was the landing gear bay open and close (in the 3D CAD models). I have not seen any videos or photos of the weapons bay, yet.
2) F-18 cannot detect it at any distance? Are you pulling assumptions out of your back? Anything that has a mass and size...
