More likely the N-sub that we lease belongs to Yasen class (not some rust bucket). Very likely to have TOT that feeds into local SSN program.

So the price of the past lease taken for comparison may not be accurate in this case.

My theory is that the S400 is Paki specific. ** They may want to negate the paki nuclear-tipped cruise missile threat ** Pakis may be aquiring 5-10 chinese stealth planes in the coming years, and S400 might make them think twice before a misadventure. ** Pakis will also be getting Chinese armed dro...

I don't get why LWIR is being swapped for MWIR? I understand MWIR FPA has better resolution (384*288)/(128*128). Is it detection at longer range from air? LWIR offers long range detection, while MWIR offers higher resolution. LWIR is like S-band radar, while MWIR is X-band in terms of detection and...

Why don't we map the IAF personnel assigned to LCA from TD phase onwards? I bet even Squadron Leader ranks from Engineering section (let alone Flying section) were not assigned.

Dry thrust is not an issue with the JSF..It never had super cruise as a requirement because range was the absolute driver for the design along with the requirement for a single engined fighter. The bypass ratio of the F135 and the thrust class is designed around the engine. If they wanted a super c...

That, to me, is a very aggressive schedule. But, one - I believe - is based on solid footing. It is my belief that the ASR (and the like) are near complete. Can they change, most certainly. Likely? Chances are minimal. BTW, MP has told these guys that he wants most of the plane to be Indian made. T...

^ 16,900 lbf (75 KN) is the maximum wet thrust of M-88. AMCA engine will sport a equivalent dry thrust of ~75 KN.

2 x 16,900 lbf = ~33,000 lbf greater than 28,000 lbf dry thurst of JSF.

Point i'm trying to say is , AMCA team has taken note of all short-comings of programs such as JSF.

Kanson

@NRao, as others noted, appreciate your efforts in collecting & listing info on AMCA. I think, Austin is right in saying ASR not completely finalized. Aspects like ITR/STR are not finalized, to my knowledge. Rightly so as without engine choice and known thrust these cannot be finalized. What is ...

My understanding is SM-3 is anti ballistic while SM-6 is anti air. While Barak-8 has a lower range, its engagement envelope is much better than SM-6. It has a high single hit probability, eliminating the launch of a two missile salvo. Also, ballistic missiles are useless at sea unless nuclear armed...

Kanson

TusharM, How does Barak 8 compare to Standard SM-2 or PAC III or MEADS? SM-2 is a class by itself. So true comparison should be B-8, PAC III and MEADS. Long back Israel evaluated SM2(aka SM 6) for their need(It was on offer). Then went on to develop Barak-8. Info from them is Barak-8 provides much ...

@brar_w Doesn't matter, the technology is the same and the hardware changes for the EPE/EDE are leveraged to either extract more thrust or get more durability. Surely the EDE enhancements would be extremely beneficial for the LCA which can get you to 6000 hours between changes and give you around 3-...

Given that its going to be the first high profile deal if and when it goes through, this will most likely be the limit of what is agreed to by both sides.

There is no ADVENT GE-F414 program. GE just chose to do demonstrate something using one of its existing engines, while the ADVENT engine is different and is managed by AFRL's VAATE program.
