havent seen any clear proof as to Rafale being completly French. Can The French deliver the first of 18 aircraft by 2013, considering their production rate for this year is 11 aircraft. Boeing makes 40 Super Bugs in a year. I have grown to like Rafale much more but the French behaviour lately isn't ...

well one Pinaka battery has 6 launchers, each with 12 rockets, thus they can deploy 72 rockets very quickly, a battery can neutralize 1000m * 800m out to 45km, ideal to take out an entire air base. The Pinaka Fire control Computer funstions in stand alone mode and can control and communicate with up...

Well EDE has been ground tested for years, already in 2006, for GE to develope and test the EPE will take no time and the fact is even if we fund it, we'll get back our royalties when USN super Bugs begin MLU in the next decade. secondly US threat libraries are extensive and are always much larger, ...

wow you guys seem angry over US giving the beggar nation a few new f-16s, UAVs and missiles, while our closest strategic partner Russia gave out their entire military catalogue to the Chinese who due to no controls have copied everything and i mean everything, on any given day China is a much bigger...

Lately Am I just seeing many US fan boys posting the already grinded stuff about f-16 and 18 again and again? Fan boys: Before you want to post your remarks about the teens,its highly suggested to go through the previous threads and archives . Stop irritating the readers and followers by re-posting...

But problem with any US product is the political one mainly. We can not simply trust them. Not this Obama Administration. Other one will be Tech transfer. I don't thing we can expect much from US on the ground also. Cost of SH is also not small. The TOT will certainly be more than EF and Gripen sim...

Mr. Shukla is fantasizing. I don't even know where to start with punching holes in his little daydream. (a) The US would never mount a SF op with so many complexities. They learned well from eagle claw, urgent fury, gothic serpent, etc. - they keep their SF ops simple. (b) pak nukes aren't concentra...

India was given a oppourtunity to become part of the f-35 but we refused, i dont see any reason why we can't have US collabo on the MCA. Kaveri with over 100KN+ thrust will be a minimum requirement for the twin-engined MCA and god only knows how long it will take for it be ready, hence i dont see wh...

IMHO, Super Horny is still the ideal aircraft, firstly its the only aircraft that can be delivered by 2013 period. No other contender can confidently say that. Secondly the IRST on block 2 SH's will go on board the fuesalage and not drop tank like some people think. http://www.flightglobal.com/asset...

aim-120C-5 has a range of 105km,

aim-120 C-7 has a range of around 130km

Aim-120D has 30nm more range than the c-7, which puts the range around 180km.

mig-35 wont begin production till 2013/2014, looking at russian nature of delay well the mig wont arrive in India before end 2015 thats if production really begins in 2013, it usually takes well over 2.5 years for a single unit to be produced. F-16 is capable of deploying Mica, Magic, Delilah, Popey...

RameshC

well nothing is clear yet and it wont be clear till atleast weapons trials begin in home countries, we'll know by April next year the shortlisted contenders. its not about the russian aircraft and crashes..its about the rate of losing aircraft every year, we are bound to loose another 20-25 aircraft...

RameshC

well CAG, even IAF has complained in reports so your jack about r-77 being this miracle missile is useless. f-17 and SH have no comparison and we can see quickly whose the moron. well r-33 has been there for a while but i wonder why we didnt order it, besides missiles like r-33, brahmos, ks-172s can...

RameshC

i am not saying anything about the mig's record, what i am saying is crashes are common in the IAF, we loose aircraft every year and we have to start mrca acquisiton ASAP, we cant wait for the mig-35 to begin production in 2013 and i am sure IAf wont delay the procurement, by 2013 the first mrca wil...

i dont know about US missile reliability, all i know is that the IAF had a lot of complains and problems about Russian BVR missiles. By SH being useful for all 3 services i meant the multirole aspect of its performance, it can carry and deploy more A2A missiles on a single misssion than all the othe...

r-27s and r-77s are the real culprits, useless missiles some of them didnt even function well for one year, its no only the missiles but also their launchers. russian aircraft are gr8 but they are useless with out good and realible weaponry. the block 70 seems like a better option, but viper's chanc...

on paper: F22 - 4 x aim9x in side bays, 4 x amraamC7 (clipped fin subversion?) in main bay F35 - 4 x LGB (of newly slimmed dimension) in its single bay. The Aim-C-7 is now replaced with the aim-120D, this missile when launched from the f-22 at supercruise allows for a maximum kinematic kill range o...

RameshC

what use is a russian missile when more than half of BVR missiles in our inventory are malfunctioning, r-27/r-77s, kh-31a/ps are not reliable. The mig-35 is the worst choice. SH is the ideal aircraft. SH wins hands down in a technical POV in relation with price.

RameshC

well compared to the SH, the mig has hardly has any combat experience, matter of fact, lots of migs were shot down in kosovo, Iraq etc. the SH has killed mig-21s so far in a single sortie, couple of them during iraq-2. I dont think the new package to pak include more f-16s, pak had ordered 38 but US...

well the Spectra EW suite was made in the US at Thales North America, its a subisdiary but still falls under US law, even Gripen talked about how they can offer full technology just like the French but i doubt how that will stand when Spectra isn't the only thing on the Rafale coming from the US. Ev...

Yeah a toilet is a luxury fighter pilots dont have. Nice aircraft but i think MKI out macthes it. Besides MKI will be tthe first to get Brahmos.

I am not sure if things like Spectra EW made in the US on the rafale can be replaced by any other EW suite, coz spectra is the most advanced EW suite on offer. Even if can be replaced by which one one and at what cost? If so we can always have the Spectra lets say on the Gripen, Sh or even the SV if...

RameshC

why are we talking about the RD-33 when its not in the competition ,IAF is not interested in it for LCA, its the least reliable between GE and EJ2000. so looking at possibilties, both EJ or GE should allow for sueprcruise, GE should allow for higher sustained supercruise with a very good combat load...

RameshC

you dont understand that we still have to deal with them, the mig is a piece of shit and wont be ready till 2013, now ****** delays get used to the fact that US will win a lot of defence deals, your ranting wont stop that, their platforms outperform their competiton and hence they will win a lot of...

how come those russian pods are as big as missiles if a platform has to carry them wonder how many weapons it can still carry?? they seem awefully big , as if the rcs of the migs arent big enough and you want to add such large pods, the f-16IN, SH can detect something like this well over 180-200 km ...

There is no need for IOC for aircraft like f-16 because they recieved their IOC ages ago, any new block only requires a few weapons trails and its all operational, mig is a new platform, it needs it basic IOC which it wont recieve till next year :rotfl: same thing you said about f16 also true abo...

i meant radar and weapons testing, the RBE-2 AESA was proven long time ago but just because its been tested doesnt mean anything, weapons trials is what matters, Rafale with this new AESA has completed weapons trials which is exactly what Russia is doing now with the mig and the swedes with the Grip...
