The hornet is not going to make it. Two reasons why - one - it failed critical hot and high tests, 2 - it doesn't bring much to the table compared to other contenders. The EF could very well be the dark horse in this race. It was after all L2 and brings to the table Germany, England and a couple of ...

Re: Indian Military Aviation- September 29 2013
Responding to some thoughts on the LCA dhaaga. Do we still need that theoretical 42 squadron number or can we do more with less.

FMS route for Gripen? Possible?
It is about shoring up capabilities in a short time frame. The Tejasii( mk2) will also maybe need external consultant support from SAAB ( and maybe the AMCA). They are almost sanction proof IMHO.

IMHO I think we are following a good strategy and not putting all the eggs in one basket. The way I look at it there is no way in the world that we can ramp up production of Tejas to about 24 AC per year in a short time frame. And that is mk1. After mk2 comes online the ramp up will take longer - 20...

While we are on the topic of IAF Re-Equipment, can we also include other aspects such as Radars, SAM's, Airfield updates, etc.
E.g. Pechora Squadrons being re-equipped with the Akash Mk1.
Need to do some research but just a thought.

On a side note, one of the pics shows construction in the vicinity of the airport - any idea how close is that? Those tower cranes almost look as if they have LOS access to the airport, not good from a safety standpoint.
