CARPET BOMBING: Tejas to demonstrate fire power ahead of FOC

[Suman]

Your use of term carpet bombing! Carpet bombing means to drop tons of bombs without any specific target simply bomb and entire designated area. Normally done via heavy bombers and that too in large numbers!

I believe we are neither ignorant nor nincompoops to not to understand or induce Carpet bomb intelligence into our aircrafts

Wrong Carpet bombing, also known as saturation bombing, is a large aerial bombing done in a progressive manner to inflict damage in every part of a selected area of land

It Can be done By Either Formations of Fighters or Heavy Bombers
See the Video Above Su-30 Mki Doing Carpet Bombing

Saturation bombing is AREA specific, not TARGET specific.

You Indians can't keep a secret. It's the direct result of all the chest-thumping and monkey poop slinging you guys do. The words 'civilized', 'organized' and 'clandestine' are lost on your military R&D and government. What with Parikar openly declaring support for terrorism and Modi running his mouth in public in Bangladesh confirming that India had supported the insurgency and rebellion...you guys are practically idiots.

Right! Unlike you guys who are the progeny of Einstein!

Saturation bombing is AREA specific, not TARGET specific.

Obvious For Specific Targeting , Air forces Use JDAM and Laser Guided Munitions But it Cannot Be Defined As Carpet Bombing

Bengaluru, June 29: The Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas is all set undertake critical test flights carrying an array of missiles and bombs to complete its scheduled weapon trials.

Top sources with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed to this Correspondent that the integration of Russian-made Close Combat Missile (CCM) R-73 has been completed.

The ground integration of the Israeli-made CMM Python-5 too has been completed ahead of the flight trials. The Beyond Visual Range (BVR) missile Derby has also been integrated on to the aircraft.

Tejas can carry two CCMs with a range of 15 km at the extreme end pods. These missiles can home on to the enemy aircraft based on their heat signature.

The Derby (two missiles) is being integrated on the mid-board-pods of Tejas and they have a range varying between 80 and 100 km.

The home-grown fighter carries the laser-guided bomb (LGB) Griffin, which has a range of 5-6 km. Tejas will also carry LGB Paveway, which according to sources, has already demonstrated its capabilities with an accuracy of 1 meter. "These missiles have demonstrated their capabilities to strike with precision during day and night," says an official.


BVR missiles to be tested in July ::
The laser-designator pod also has been integrated on to the aircraft. "Tejas can carry drop tanks with 1200-litre and 800-725-litre capacity. The R-73 has completed flight trials in Goa, Jaisalmer and Jamnagar over 10 times. The LGB has been tested for six times now," the official said.

The BVR testes scheduled to be held in May has now been fixed for July at forward bases. "The CCMs and BVRs used on Tejas are capable of SSKP (Single Shot Kill Probability). In a war scenario, the pilot can increase the kill probability by opting for firing both CCMs, or both BVRs together," the official added.

The integration of Russian-made gun for Tejas Gsh-23 has been completed. The gun has been already ground tested at a facility in Nasik.


FOC may spill over to March 2016?
When asked whether Tejas would skip the December 2015 deadline for Final Operational Clearance (FOC), the top MoD official said: "There are still some passing clouds hanging around. But the teams from Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) and Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) are confident of beating the deadline."

However, another official told this Correspondent that the programme might skip the December deadline by maximum three months.

"May be it will spill over to the last quarter of this FY. The FOC will be in by March 2016," he said.


Refueling probe, nose cone radome awaited ::
To complete the FOC points, the air-to-air refueling probe from Cobham hasn't arrived yet. The nose cone quartz radome too is being awaited.

There are already some rumours floating around in the corridors of HAL and ADA over the delay in accessing these pending foreign systems.

A Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) official says that they are hopeful of thrashing the issue.

"Definitely there are concerns. But, we are hoping to get clarity by July. Hopefully, we should have access to all hardware within a month. We don't see any more technology challenges after the integration of these pending items," says the senior DRDO official.

ADA says that almost 75 per cent of work related to FOC has been completed. The siblings of Tejas have completed 2971 flights so far logging around 1909 hours, at the time this piece went live on the web.

How can a tiny light weight fighter do the carpet bombing? This not a job of light weight fighter and even so many Heavy weight fighter can't perform that?. Please explain me how

Basically this term Carpet bombing is used for for bombers. Is Tejas is a bomber?

Tiny Lightweight Fighter can Carry Payload Upto 4 tons. Standard Procedure for Attack is Done With Formations Not Single Fighter.Formations Can be Vary From Air-forces o Air-forces,It can be 3,6,9 12 Depends Upon Standard Strategies.
Tejas is Multi-role fighter it is tested with Both Unguided & Laser-guided Munitions in A2G Mode

Hope they don't miss the deadline

I hope so too.

You are not new guy , you perfectly know that how much intelligent our South Asian Defence Journalist are .
This test would be mainly BVR & WVR & gun firing.
Since when Air to Air Missile use for bombing.
Some noob members start defending the undefendable.

 

[Windjammer]

With a maximum external ordnance of some 3000 kg, it will take about six Tejas to come close to what can even remotely be termed as carpet bombing.

And the 6 tejas will cost less than one bomber . Mission accomplished .

The Pakistanis are the most intelligent person why are you fighting with them they are the sons of Musharraf who is wearing bangles in Pakistan and also who got his booty kicked so what can you expect from them.
this Joker says Vishaal is bluff, Aura is bluff, FGFA is bluff,and blah blah blah
Actually they can't make or have these in near future that's why they want these to be called bluff. What can you expect from MADrassa and Mullahs.

Here is an other proud son of Bharat Mata born in slumdog, and wanna be Yankee---he's so ashamed of been an indian, he put american flags
