This is the status of this duffer, inept & 100% incompetent administration. These ba$tard$ should be brought back and subjected to GIT investigation under the SC. This bully cat needs to be belled.
This criminal negligence gonna keep us tied unless we roll back this existing css and directly hire professionals or departmental staff to serve as secretaries - - - - - -.

While Thunder is improving capability wise in terms of sensors and equipment what truly impresses me is the large and diverse armament at its disposal for every possible role and scenario, making it a true multi role fighter with matching armament.


It is actually becoming a pretty good package and with the addition of conformal tanks would be a very serious threat in the air to anything coming in.

The current mystery is which configuration of Radar is ending up on the platform. The newly exhibited system looks good on paper but Im interested in whether it’s actually selected or a swashplate system is.

Not to mention, it is probably one of the smallest 4th gen fighters out there, even smaller than the F16. Couple that with the wide array of weaponry, this is truly one dangerously lethal bird of prey...

CFT's have much less drag than the under-hung external tanks, besides CFT's don't necessarily have to be mounted above the wings, they can be designed for any suitable place that results in least aerodynamic disturbances. We used under belly "Gondola" on Migs in 70's/80's for additional fuel

But what about the drag ? We might need a more powerful engine to counter the additional drag due to cft , dont we ?
