Tuning out for now. Will tweet the link to the first part of @delhidefence's article on the LCA-Navy Mk-I fighter when I am back. Cheers.

I know MEA didn’t confirm PAF aircraft type but I think it’s safe to assume our Mig 21 Bison shot down a F-16. How many F-16s kills have been claimed by Mig 21? I think must be very rare.

Fantastic articles Indranil and Nilesh aka Jay S!!! Take a bow!! This is the sort of thing that jingos salivate for! Now waiting for similarly superb stuff on Naval Mk-II too. This one was also a surprise packet with pure delta wing and tiny rear stabilisers. Looks like the designers attempted to so...

SKrishna

I also see a LERX in the wing join. Maybe that the stub wings from the tender drawings. So the wing shape does change if ever so slightly, from double compound delta to a somewhat triple compound delta with clipped ends for wingtip CCM rails.

SKrishna

I see no spill away opening. May be obscured by the canard but not visible to me in the video. Folks going there please confirm. Integrated IRST I suppose and also 11 hard points make it a beast.

SKrishna

The train ran over a cattle and its breaks jammed. So much for gau raksha.

SKrishna

Super excited to see the canard config on the MK2. Waiting for the full mock-up at Aero India.

(/rant) Why no DSI when they went to all the trouble with canards? (rant end)

SKrishna

Dhruv always looked a bit stout to me. This on the other hand is much sleeker bird. Love the silhouette.

SKrishna

So if the canard is all moving but not a control canard and the FCS doesn’t control it then is it manually operated at fixed deflection angles like the LEVCONS on the NLCA?

AW&ST is honouring ISRO and Planet Labs with their annual Laurate award in Operations category. :D :D Other awardees are SpaceX in Launchers and Boeing in platform category. Just received a mailer to this effect. So no link.. :-? Another feather in ISRO's cap. <edited for spelling>

Why does a solid rocket powered Mach 4+ missile need a subsonic CM type folded wings?

Wont the shear off at high supersonic speeds?

Also being rocket powered, it is likely to glide most of the way and lose its kinetic energy as it approaches the target.
