How is it going to be different from the regular trainer? I thought the trainer is combat capable just like any other Tejas?

Oh sorry! Didn't think that you are awaiting my confirmation though I read your post

You are right, it is A-57 Bartini bomber.

Even for a staunch supporter of the LCA like me, this never ending slippage in timelines is quite frustrating. Playing their advocate, I can imagine how it must feel like for a senior IAF officer who is in charge of the IAF's force structure and whose job it is to make sure that the IAF's squadron ...

@Raghuk Not sure whether you are the correct person to ask this question but why is this hurry among DRDO/ADA/HAL folks to leak out dates via blogs/media only to be proved otherwise? In case of LCA this has happened so many times that such comments regarding the timelines of LSP6-7/NP-1 sounds ridi...

In fact, if there is a bacteria that takes human crap and turns it into non-polluting natural substances, there could be so many more applications for them around the country. Mumbai, the financial capital of India with much of its population crapping outdoors, could use many such products. Sometim...

Thanks ArmenT. The article says that OFB has increased the rate of fire by shortening the travel of bullet in the barrel. I am assuming it means a shorter barrel or earlier tapping of gases for autoloading and subsequently higher pressure gases impinging on the piston, increasing the speed of the wh...

It's heartening to see PSUs coming up with multiple desi designs i.e. Kalantak/excalibur (5.56X45), MSMC ( 5.56X30), Trichy assault rifle (7.62X39) and future modular assault rifle aka F-INSAS rifle. It would be a big mistake if IA goes for imports this time and kills the indigenous effort. Kalantak...

Intresting article about MiG-27's GSh-6-30 cannon. However, another serious problem appeared with the aircraft gun mounting: despite the reduced ballistics [Ed: from the use of shorter barrels] the recoil force of the GSh-6-30A was about 5,500 kg. The impact loads caused by firing were very high for...

Al this is fine to "sterilize" airspace that you can dominate. But imagine a war in which an Indian AWACS is monitoring airspace in which there are 15 Indian aircraft on a known path, and 8 unknown aircraft from the Chinese/Paki side. Are those unknown aircraft Chinese or Paki aircraft or...

Pitot tubes have inbuilt heaters and the NOVA video confirms that the ill fated aircraft had it. It's another thing that the pitot tube got overwhelmed by the snow buildup in the thunderstorm.

Seems like this video was made before the black box was found. There is speculation and assumptions made on what caused the problems. The black box and CVR were found several months ago and the cause(s) is known in more or less certain terms (atleast, the sequence of events is known clearly). http:...

GPS does provide the altitude but the main problem why it can't be relied upon for terrain avoidance in particular (and military/commercial aviation in general) is the reference system used by it. GPS uses WGS84 ellipsoid as the reference base for calculation of altitude, which does not, coincides w...

OT : Shiv your piskological posts are always a delight to read. Why don't you compile all your thoughts in a book on this Indian trait and publish it. That way you can broadcast your message to a broader audience and it is more permanant then posts on BR.

MiG crashes due to pilots' inexperience: IAF Chief

If it is so, Wouldn't it have been prudent for IAF to let only veterans to fly the MiG-21s. Very rude statment even if he is trying to be politically correct.

This PPT created by an HAL trainee ( :) ) says that MKI has 6 tanks (Slide no eight) with the tank number 2 (just in front of the two engines) acting as the service tank feeding the two engines directly. So normal load of 5+ tons of fuel means all fuselage tanks i.e. 1, 2, 4 and 5 are full. In fuel ...

My point is, if an a/c has both drop tank attachment capabilities and in-flight refueling capabilities, the pilot should have an option of using whichever fuel s/he thinks is best suited for the mission based on whether a refueler is around or not. Ofcourse, I may be wrong and it may indeed be poss...

IIRC somebody posted an article on MiG-21s fueling system or I read it somewhere. The various tanks are pressurized with bleed air from the engine.
