One simple question....Why do we need another MKI when we already have an MKI??? What is wrong about having another MKI if that meets IAF’s requirements both technologically and financially ? Mig – 35 MKI would be a cost effective solution. If it performs like Su – 30 MKI, then that’s the best thin...

A question for the gurus - Can we have 4 pylons in each wing area of Tejas??? Since in todays scenario total 7 hardpoints is very less I think. What !! you want Tejas to be a Su - 30 MKI ? Remember, Tejas is a Light Combat Aircraft. Any aircraft would loose its Agility if it is loaded more. If Teja...

You are going to carry what 40 to 50 rounds What is wrong with 10 more rounds ? Or are you planning to depend on supply lines say for a 10 day mission ? Or are you thinking in 10 days soldier will fire 40 – 50 rounds and anything more than that soldier will ask for over time as we do sometimes in o...

Surya, War is not a 10 – 5 Job, in case of a war a Tank unit has to be on 24X7 duty. So, a manual loader will be prone to exhaustion some time or the other. Imagine the weight of shells a Manual loader has to pull out and load into the gun. And saying a loader is a soldier and is physically fit to ...

One report in a mag along with the parameters of all contenders has the MIG-35 coming in at just $38.5m,half that of a Typhoon or Rafale,with the Gripen/F-16 about equal in the $45m range and the F-18 at $58m.Will check out the exact figs later on.Ashley tellis has also advised the IAF to buy the c...

why?? I might argue I prefer the 4th person in the crew Its not like we are having a shortage of people :) One reason could be Space inside the tank can be saved which can be utilized for more ammo or gadgets or fuel. Did you think on this line ? Infact, I want to know if there could be other advan...

Can a auto loader be retro fitted into Arjun Turret ? Why is CVRDE not thinking on that line ?
It can reduce the number of persons inside the tank from 4 to 3.
IA is used to 3 persons inside the tank

Capt Maolanker's presentation talked about changing the air intakes so that the engine doesn't get starved at sea level. He also talked about the undercarraige moving outboard, presumably in the wings. however, I don't see the changed air intakes in the Mk-2 model, nor is the undercarraige present ...

There's no reason to fly the NG-Demo to India again. After all, remember that it is a Demo and it's nothing you perform airshows with and it's quite risky even bringing it to India. Thatz the point I wanted to make. :) Same reason holds good for the Russians for not bringing Mig - 35 to AeroIndia 2...

Opps !! That Gripen in AeroIndia 2011 doesn't seem to be Gripen NG (IN). What is the reason SAAB has not sent Gripen NG ? The conclusion that people arrived not seeing the Mig – 35 in AeroIndia 2011 is that Mig has smelled they have lost the race for MCRA. Now what should we conclude that SAAB has s...

4) That brings it to final point. If they are going to move the undercarriage stowage and mount point to wing and shoulder mounting, what about the space which was taken up by the undercarriage in the existing layout ? Ya Allah, more internal fuel!. So top it by around 500 to 750kg more fuel. So I ...

Yes, Vignesh Ji, even I think so. If you do a image search on google for LCH you will see this pic. Even I was confused I thought was an early mock up of our LCH then again the star on its musharaf was confusing me further.

Archan ji, "B_Ambuj" is the name given to me by you when I choose my name as "bamboos".
I would like to request you to change my name to Drishyaman as my real name is ****

LCH also needs 5 bladed rotor Now, what is rational behind that kind of thought, if you could explain the need for that? Unkil has been flying Light Combat Helicopter like the Bell AH-1 Cobra which falls in the same weight class as our LCH with 2 rotor blades. In fact, our LCH is having 4 rotor bla...

Full TOT including blisk/SCB ? If that is "true" , then we don't need any fighter flying GE414

We need a fighter which flies on some other engine, so that we get the best of all world

George Welch, Your argument not with standing, we Indians in general are weary about Yanky stuffs. We have already put billions in Uncle’s pocket via FMS.

Well as per my factbook Zhuk-AE got its IOC back in 2009. They are eying to extend the current target detection range of around 150Km to 250+Km. But yet Zhuk-AE with range of 150Km is far better then what we are buying. IIRC that was after the upgrade deal was signed. Including it in the upgrade wo...

The Apache looks like a Toad in the front view but the LCH looks cool.

The radar cross section for LCH should be much less than the Apache.

Not convinced that Mig – 35 is out of race. But, if that happens we need to make a choice between the Rafale and the Typhoon keeping aside the fighters which runs on Unkil’s engines. Considering the fact that apart from being prone to Sanctions, Unkil will try to enforce inter-operability clause. No...

Maximum take off weight of Rafale (C/D) seems to be 24,500 kg and it is being powered by 2× Snecma M88-2 turbofans with Thrust with afterburner of 75.62 KN From the above fact can’t the 2 Kaveri with the current thrust of 75 KN be good enough for 20,000 – 22,000 kg MCA ?
