LM has always said that the the F-16 could pave the way for the F-35 .............. with the F-16 embedding some of the F-35 techs. What seems to be new in this is the presentation with the blessing of the DoD and the presentation was made to the IN. I am not too sure that the IAF would be interest...

Well the A50 I guess would get its due in time.

This may be a newbie question, but still The question is why was Kaveri designed as a flat rated engine and is it true that no other flat rated engine are available as a replacement ? If so why was Kaveri designed differently while the world moved in a different direction? I have virtually zero know...

Because some people seem to think that the US will cut off spares for any little petty offense , which is clearly not the case George, please check the thread regarding Pokran nuclear test of 1998 on this very forum. The petty offence that India would probably do is a 200 KT nuclear bum explosion, ...

JimmyJ

It wasn't for overhaul (maintenance), it was upgrade (new stuff which US has no obligation to sell them) But like I said, you won't be getting spares from Russia for the MiG-35 decades from now anyways If you look at the Indian fighter inventory, upgrades are a principal part during the operational...

JimmyJ

But isn't it also correct that the basic airframes of Mig 29 or Su 27 where so good a design that upgrades can make Mig 29/Su 27 worthful for another 30-40 years while F-16 and to an extend the F-18 cannot. Just think about what all can be done with the Su 30 MKI airframe its just amazing. And it is...

JimmyJ

But I wonder whether such a large operation would go unnoticied by the higher ups, just think about the logistics needed and radars of all the nations on the way. But oh ya this is really enjoyable, especially because of the speed of posting. Never gives the mind to think of anything else.

1. A stable Afghanistan is necessary for US exit 2. A stable Pakistan = India surrounded = weaker India 3. Weaker India = No reigonal counter balance for China Therefore, similar to your lopsided analysis, I will conclude that the US wants a stable Afghanistan with close ties to India to surround P...

JimmyJ

^^^ Without repeating any part of that...(don't have words to describe it) I just wish to ask you to get a hold of yourself. I can not imagine a situation that suits both China and the US. A stable Pakistan is necessary for a better Afghan exit policy for US. A stable Pakistan is necessary to contr...

When saying deterrence from Indian point of view, what exactly are we looking at? For example, Pakistan does not have a NFU in its nuclear weapon doctrine and utilizes it Nuclear Weapons to deter India's powerful conventional military power from over running its military. So what exactly are we dete...

The Brahmand is vast, so if first is all about coming on the TV first, there is one hell oppurtunities waiting for us. But the focus must be on generating new information as our minister said.

Lets get back to LCA please. Looking at the length and diameter of F-404 and F-414 engine of GE , they are exactly the same (although global security and wiki are not exactly the best sources) , the idle time would be absolutely minimal for LCA supply line if no structural changes are required , so...

N^3, Though I was able to understand most of the points you made about Khetolai, there is one which I am missing. What makes it sure that it is because of the s1 that the damage was done to Khetolai? What if the other, I mean s2, was the cause of the damage? I hope I am not asking who is Sita after ...

manjgu, Could you please include the aircraft carrier/the IAF fighters (SU 30 MKI & to be inducted Mig 29K)that would be based in Andaman Region into this equation. That would better the comparison and can be a game changer too. You can also consider the Chineese fighters coming to the fight whi...

After tracking this thread for more than an year, I now for real feel that it is going down the hill. I must thank Dervin for the way he thrashed me after my first post.

Dear Gurus, Have anyone seen the news in our good old DD today in which it was mentioned that our Mr. Santhanam has said the thermonuclear test was not a failure. It seems there was a discussion with Mr. Santhanam. Please try to watch it, it is currently in the news. My little brain couldn't underst...

I think the fizzle dud has taken the sizzle out and that India has declared peace with Pakistan and China. It also signed a peace treaty with Bangladesh so as to use their strength to protect India from China and Pakistan

JimmyJ

Trying to Equate current Chinese posturing to the TN fizzle or sizzle is not right in any sense. An enemy wouldn't worry whether whats going to fall on their head is a Thermo nuclear or a pure fission bomb. But what is at present in our inventory to get the bum above their heads is the question I be...

Rather than using Groshov in an attacking posture, the IN may probably use it as a bait just like in the 71 to attract the Pak Subs, sometimes its easier to let the enemy close in on you to destroy it. It is a definite bait as the PN knows it would hurt IN the most if it loses the AC. And the AC wil...

On the other hand, I wouldn't completely rule out that action from being a serious warning of your ministry to Dassault.
