120 kN for the Tejas Mk2 would require significant changes to the airframe and almost certainly larger air intakes as well. Unless you want the engine to be starved of airflow. M88-TREX derived engine is a lower hanging fruit given it is designed around a proven M88 engine and is already in develop...

As per the latest interview of HAL chairman with Vishnu Som, Tejas Mk2 First flight will be by end of 2026 or early 2027 and from there 3-4 years, lets add 2 more year if we consider the past record of delivery, so ~2033-34, then I think may be even 120KN might be available. I hope Tejas-Mk2 and AMC...

Things which are coming on social media looks promising. If we assume that all goes well and we get viable flat rated 85-90 KN engine in next 3-5 years and Tejas-Mk2 still in testing or facing issue with engine delays then which one will be the better option Tejas-Mk2 with TRex or ORCA with Kaveri (...

Just a thought on A-5 in conventional role with ~8 ton of payload and range of 2500+ KM.

When we can have our own P-76 SSK, then there should not be any P-75I. All the stakeholders should focus on this P-76 program and production run of 12-18 submarines in 3 or 4 tranches.

I hope it materializes then we might have 3 shipyard for submarine building.

HSL & MDL to build SSN/SSGN/SSBN

L&T to build SSK.

This will help to build up the sizeable sub surface capability in a relatively quick time.

The way things are moving with Su-57 , we may need to rename and refresh the old PAKFA and FGFA thread or create a new one.

As per the video posted in above post, there is degradation of 7-8% of thrust in case of 404 and if it is same for 414 then the thrust of 414 will come down to ~90-92KN so why restrict upcoming flatrated Kaveri-90Kn to just Tejas-Mk1A, it should also be use in TEDBF/AMCA Mk1.

Astra Mk 1: Solid-propellant rocket

I think it is time to hedge against both 404 and 414. US behavior is unreliable in this case and can delay both Tejas Mk1A and Mk2. DRDO/HAL should work in parallel to integrate M88-3 or M88-4E in Mk1A for next batch of 97 Mk1As and either M88-4 or upgraded version of Kaveri for Mk2 but then there i...

As per that article, IAF has submitted to Government. So now it is totally on government court to clear it.
