I think the word 'story' should be removed from the title of the thread so far as it relates to Nukes ... It actually depicts a very realistic scene of our political leaders not having spine to revert with nukes.... Very realistic... Forget NFU, we might not even authorize retaliatory strike...

Hey, taking tejas three legged Cheetah, metaphor to MMRCA, will it be proper to call teens as 4 legged cheetah but tied around a tree with a chain?

nrshah

When unkil pressurized Israel to stop selling us AESA, many of us viewed that perhaps our our AESA is bit far and hence the ban... Applying similar logic, can it be said that we are close to AMCA as US has hinted allowing us partnership in JSF or is it a mere marketing ploy to promote the oldies...

I am sorry if I would be spoiling the republic mood, however differences in attitude of IAF and IN was visible even during Republic Parade...

With respect to DDM, it think just cribbing on BR will not be enough... I took the following approach to fight DDM (Our first rate and very current threat)...

I hate being in a pacifist India... I am sorry i did not mean to offend the nation, but its political ideology.... Whether it is 1947, or 65 or 71 or 99 or 2012, I dont know why every time we are running short of arms and ammunition... Hate these politicians for the same... Dont know until when sold...

2) Going at the same rate India will catch up with America in 40 years time - i.e in 2050. If you are 20 years old today, you will be 60 years when India catches up. I will be dead.

My last post on the subject, OT again... Neither did India did favor by buying equipments from USSR or Russia... Neither we are doing a favor, now by committing 30 Bn USD in pak fa/FGFA... We are getting more than what we should have recd paying similar amount to alternate project... In the absence ...

nrshah

The reason for that is the good behaviour by the Indians...remember, non-aligned not condemning USSR during invasion of Afganistan or Chekoslovakia........and USSR prevented another country getting into the ring around the USSR. There are no free lunches, as some would have us believe. It is the ge...

Reading the livefist articles and such other related reports makes me rethink what partnership (strategic/privileged/Others) is all about and are we creating a definition of partnership which blurs with begging...

nrshah

The aircraft to be jointly developed is termed Perspective Multi-role Fighter (PMF). PMF draws upon the basic structural and system design of the Russian FGFA Technology Demonstrator with modifications to meet IAF specifications which are much more stringent.

Cain, All your arguments are based on high price of upgrade of M2K. As I understand you are ok with enhanced capabilities but the cost of such enhancement is not comfortable... However, it is too early to speculate on that.. As Kartik pointed in one his previous post, we dont know if the cost 2.1Bn ...

Parabola is depressed trajectory which allows late detection and lower reentry temp/time. Sirji, I thought parabola is a high altitude conical shaped trajectory... Wiki also says same thing or as i understand... late detection resulting from depressed trajectory is means a flatter trajectory, as i ...

There were some recent comments from ADA/HAL that it would have been better off designing NLCA ahead of air force LCA...Now when AMCA program officially includes N-AMCA, will we work on N_AMCA ahead of Air force variant?

nrshah

agreed, SU-30MKI has been an excellent experience, but the problem is now Russians are also hardcore buissness men, just like French and IAF won't be looking at Mig-35 Agreed that Russian have gradually becoming businessman... But how does that prohibit we dealing with them? Aren't others business ...

nrshah

the missile would go up to an altitude of 20 km in a parabola and then travel 700 km to attack enemy assets Doesn't travelling 20 KM Parabola first, increases the range more than 700 KM? If I remember correctly, Arun Saar in his analysis mentioned that 750 Km is range for flat depressed trajectory,...

nrshah

Kanson and Rahul, Thanks

nrshah

I have started having a feeling that Brahmos is on the way becoming what Prithi became for ballistic missiles... Platform to name while testing something different or atleast platform to test a lot of subsystems

nrshah

Wont it be better to have one of the existing aircraft to be part of SFC? I mean if say we specifically purchase rafale for SFC, secrecy cannot be maintained as compared to say additional 40 MKI for SFC..

nrshah

Pls check this to understand the underlying concept. It is like firing a rocket/artillery with the help of ballistic computer or it may have some terminal guidance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO_jo5ePriE Thanks a ton.. Can you also educate me on usefulness of such weapon to Navy, i mean to me 4...

Shiv, agree with you that supercruise and TV is not related to any generation and that US marketing gimmicks associated them with 5th gen although they were there even before that.... But still, we cannot deny the advantage they have....

Although agree with you on greater support for AMCA post Tejas IOC, however still it is no where near IN which though had less time with NLCA comparatively, still got a taste and is now backing AMCA with financial support also... Although it is OT for this thread....

nrshah

I get a little worried whenever I read the requirements of supercruise and TVC. I know that the requirements are not yet frozen, I am worried that these 2 things may prove to be very risky for AMCA. Engine is surely not our forte and I hope that IAF finalizes ASR considering that. I understand and ...

From the link: “Tejas can carry 5,000 liters of fuel, including 1,200 each in drop tanks [and] 2,400 in wings and fuselage.” Tejas also can carry two outboard R-73 missiles and two mid-board beyond visual range (BVR) Derby missiles from Israel. Gurus can use fuel data to extrapolate the range of tej...

nrshah

^^^ Sir, Agree with you that we will be fooling ourselves about having achieved parity in 2025 (AMCA comes online)... However, if we don't go for it, where will we stand? 2 generation behind perhaps... If AMCA can bridge the gap by 1 gen, we should go for it... This is not a mutually exclusive proje...
