Sachin sahab, It’s a way of turning in the air. It doesn’t need any extra control surfaces. My first aeromodel only used skid to turn as I only had an elevator and rudder on that plane. Andy Bhai, I know that Meteor uses an hybrid of the two. And that makes sense. When you have to make small turns ...

andy B

^^^Indranil and BrarW thanks for the above info. If I may ask a question....given the intake positioning and potential inherent maneuvering restrictions would such a weapon utilise skid to turn or bank to turn. Is it correct to assume that so long as airflow is not restricted the weapon could potent...

But frankly, such loss numbers are there is history of every AF. I am reading a book on John Boyd. The trainee pilot losses on single Fighter Base, Nellis AFB used to be as high as 70 in single year during Korea War. On an avg one crash per week was the norm the book says. I am sure that had nothin...

Would have preferred more P8i's and more Guardians Think there is any possibility of our shrewd folk trying to pitch that to business man Trump? our folks are scared not shrewd. :mrgreen: trump carries a really big stick and is not afraid to use it.

indo tsp agreement prohibits fixed wing ac within 10km of border does it include drones ? If drones are allowed sounds like a good plan against commando raids Our drones were monitoring Sep 16 strikes and they did recon as well. These were places beyond LoC So it is definitely possible.

the 30yo P15 delhi class carries 48 big SAMs and 16 barak1 SRSAM. plus 16uran in inclined tubes. fairly meaty for a ship of that size. the aft barak8 silos on 15A/B can surely be doubled in size to add 16 more. and new QRSAM in peripheral boxes whether VL or trainable. atleast fit and test the cell...

Brar many thanks for the details on Amraam ER. The ability to tackle TBM threat is exactly what I feel the ESSM brings in addition to being able to tackle AA threats. But as you said the sensor systems are not set up. I still think the mobile version of AEGIS will still have quite a large footprint ...

^ The above video talks abt "Permasyn" motors , which, IIRC, is made by Siemens. The 2 x diesel engine comes from MAN. So looks like significant German input in the "move" category. Dineshji Man diesels are an excellent choice and probably best in the business. Their diesels are...

Its been ongoing for years with both Boeing and Raytheon working hard at both internal bay carriage, range..... They have mature, off the shelf solutions for longer/extended range needs for legacy F-15Cs and Es if anything over and above the Aim-120D is needed on those fighters. Its been reported t...

andy B

The AMRAAM-ER program already exists. It is basically the Aim-120 C7 front end, guidance, warhead and data-link mated to an ESSM motor... Brar cheers for this. Interesting to know the C7 being mated to the Essm motor. I still do think that ESSM will find its way to being a land based Sam eventually...

There is some hugely positive news on the AWACS front as well. Will keep it for later. ;) Karan saar you are acutuely aware that this statement is a KLPD for jingos. Bliss to share. I also have a humble request if I may....I have been trying to understand where LRDE is headed in terms of TRM produc...

andy B

Brar Warrior firstly thanks for your ongoing contribution to discussions across multiple threads much appreciated! I have a small query if I may....with the ongoing blk 2 ESSM testing and due induction do you see the Amraam being modded with the larger ESSM motor (was it six inch cant remember) to g...

From the link: Su30 can do mach 1.2 with the Brahmos attached! its a beast! :-D In Wind Tunnel, for Sure. Not so sure about real life. Jay S saar reckon you are bang on, highly doubt a full supersonic release in real time conditions. I think a more realistic launch profile will be high subsonic. St...

FATCA compliance is only required for those who have US assets . This includes all US people (citizens and GCs) and work visa holders . There’s no requirement for regular folks’ information to be passed to US authorities - no country would do that . If compliance is a burden, Indian banks can just ...

thats a very unique & strange way of TDing a fighter! for a space rocket I can understand some sub-scale stuff to proof techs but no conventional fighter. all the modern ones have always been of the full up size, though design mods were done after TD testing the chinese J35 and J20 also started...

Please take a look at the form if you can, just in case you haven't already. Why do the amrekis want your PAN no and other details, including whether you have political connections/influence or not?? What if you are just an average aam aadmi Indian investor with nil foreign dealings?? Chetak saar, ...

Additional KYC in terms of FATCA is being pushed by SEBI, I hear. Saw an actual for this "Additional KYC" which I declined to sign. Why are Indians being asked to sign FATCA?? WTF, do we have to do, with some amreki laws?? Chetak saar I can only share what I see in the banking sector. At ...

Brar saar agreed. The SGAF has been involved with rhe IAF for a long long time around Kalaikunda for many years now. This does indeed speak volumes about confidence in Tejas as a system great news. In terms of SGAF needs there is really no place for Tejas or any other type at this juncture. They cur...

Interesting q&a about the Gripen bit of floundering when it comes to the naval version which we all know is a damn farce!!!

50k for 200+ Rambhas and 60k for only ~20 Mi-35 gunships? The numbers don't make sense. Cannon is only "just in case" for Su-30. It is an integral part of the attack package for Mi 35. Videos show Mi 35 going "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" . Never heard S...

Saar thats an CATM 84 D (captive carry training missile) Harpoon onlee

Not sure in background if its an IN or IAF dhruv as its blurry as hell...Not sure if this is at a Jag or a P8 I Neptune base!

andy B

Damn can the bottom plate of the truck, the gun is mounted on take it without buckling? Must be really strong. Saar the thing has 4 hydraulic jacks which would be used to set the thing stable prior to firing. The base mounting plate would transfer and dissipate the energy to the hydraulic mountings...

Carter is expected to take the DTTI to "the next level". April 10 is the day. All said and done, perhaps the F-18 in all forms is the way to go. IAF, IN including the Growler. Better still the F-35, all variants. Nrao saar IMVHO the Shornet for Iaf most probably will require the 414 EPE i...
