126 m2k's then would have scuttled mk2's now. These airframes would have lasted till 2050 perhaps.

Re: MRCA (Many Rakshaks Choose Aircraft) Contest - Episode III
Am i the only one here who thinks missing out on 126 m2k was a blessing in disguise... considering the exorbitant cost of upgrades? also perhaps at the cost of few su30 squadrons. Also why do we need more mki's when we haven't even laid out concrete plans for upgrading existing ones?

Think of it this way, design/development cost of 1000 plus engines (AMCA, TEHWF) @15 million a pop (future prices)can easily amortize the investment it calls for today.

Only problem here could be issues with the uprated engines designed for AMCA having to carry heavy payloads.
Assuming stealth fighter engines need to be uprated to provide space for IWB.

A redesigned/upscaled airforce variant of tebdf with 120kn AMCA mk2 engines could well be our hwf. No point in having a heavy stealth fighter with its payload hanging on external pylons. AMCAs could well be the escorts and interceptors of our future air battles.

IAC 2 will happen at a given point of time. With current budgetary constraints India simply can't afford to operationalize 3 AC simultaneously. So ideally IAC 2 will be a Vik A replacement which probably is 30 years down the lane.untill then it's better to accept this fact and plan accordingly.

if AMCA acheives supercruise with 414 ins6 in a clean configuration with just a2a weapons in IWB and fuel enough for a decent range then we should be close to the optimal design point.

My point was assuming the design incorporates minimal drag and stealth wouldn't it be better to forgo mtow or range considerations to the extent that a later variant with higher thrust can solve these.

Re: Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft: News & Discussion - 30 August 2019
F-35A does not have a supercruise requirement and the key metric is thrust minus drag (dry thrust). KFX with those F-414's will be limited in its speed. I think once it matures, you will see that reflected in its performance envelope. That's a very valid statement. That F35A's performance numbers a...
