Does RCS really matters for 4th generation fighters which carries all the armaments externally. If their clean configuration is 0.5 or 1.5 m2 it doesn't matter because when it will be loaded with fuel tanks, bombs and missiles on its pylons, RCS will reach to 4-5 m2 and it will be in same...
Your update and ur language reminds me one news paper editor "Rupeenews". First change ur flag and then talk.

Its a good development and hope to see this armament on other vessels of Indian Navy very soon.
And what about the following points:-
1. ToT, which was still not clear from US govt for even F-16 & F-18, Do you think ToT will be provided for F-35, which will be prime fighter jet for US forces for next 3-4 decades???
2. Price factor, Flyaway cost for F-35 will not be less than 130-140...
No, Gorky never came to India. It never left Russia since 1998-99. I think we are talking abt Russian Cruiser "Peter the Great" Which came to India 2 yrs back. And it came to Goa i guess.
I dont think selction of Aircraft will be done on basis of what is the economic condition for Spain and Italy. It will be more on what is on offer(current & future) and at what price. This deal is not for satisfying the countries who didn't get any other orders from India.
As per you, since US companies lost the MRCA battle so US should shift the attention to Kashmir??? I think US didn't learnt from own experience of Vietnam, Iraq and Afganistan..
They should learn business tectis from Israel.
As per your lines, you just want other nations to dance on US drums tunes. India is not in that row. I think you need to understand the meaning of allies or strategic partners, its not the same which US is doing or done in last 15 yrs in South Asia. Each country has right to take decision for...
There was one more tendor from Indian Navy for Medium Range Maritime Reconnaissance (MRMR) Aircraft, in which Boeing offered Diet version of P-8 Poseidon. I think total no of aircraft required were 6 for this deal.

Thats not a correct statement. As per the plan Tejas was designed to replace large no of ageing Mig-21s in late 90s or early 2000. Since Tejas program got delayed due to various factors and IOC came just few months back only and still its suffering from low thrust and Tejas Mk2 will come in...
Islamist militants have stormed one of Pakistan's largest military bases, attacking a US supplied surveillance aircraft, in a move that will cause further embarrassment for the country just weeks after the death of Osama bin Laden.
Four people including a Pakistani navy officer and a fire...
I also really wish if its Ibris-E AESA radar, But i read somewhere that power required by Ibris-E radar can not be full filled by current engines of SU-30 MKI. Moreover if its Zukh AE also then it will not be same as it was for Mig-35 as nose diameter is bigger for SU-30 MKI and it will be...
Really good job. Congrats to all team members who made it happen. It really feels good to see that Indian scientist mastered building Composite materials and now they are customizing it and using it in all the area and results are here.
