Re: Indian Military Aviation

Somehow i have gut feeling that UAV would replace the point defense fighter. If we can make a UAV which loiters with less fuel consumption and can launch missile. (My understanding is a fighter package can carry 20 air-air missile.)

I would rather Akash become our std, agile and world - class missile in the 5km - 35km range and make life very difficult for any intruder rather than be sluggish and big in the s300 sense. the MK2 idea looks right - not much increase if any in airframe size but systems to change. the ground based ...
