That's a typo, I presume? You meant to say "will easily outrange M2K", right?

Roop

But no SPJs! I think SPJs (of one kind or another) will come with Mk1A, not earlier. Your basic point, however, is very valid -- the lack of SPJ capability is IMO the most serious operational weakness in the Tejas Mk1. The aircraft simply cannot venture into even contested (let alone hostile) airsp...

No GoI organization works that way ... I don't know what you mean by "works that way"; you are trying to refute something Picklu said, but it's not clear what. IAC, I agree with Picklu -- GoI appears to have finally realized the importance of some healthy PR. Not lies, mind you, nothing b...

You know, DavidD is a nice guy and all, and unfailingly polite in his debates here, and I commend him for that -- but really are we taking seriously his question of "Why would China pick a fight with India for no reason? What do they have to gain by it?" The answer to this question is so o...

We're pretty inscrutable for the Chinese too. ... They do not understand what we're up to.

This, to me, still remains a classic, and one of the most beautiful aircraft built so far. Agreed.

He points out a 9-12:1 ratio to dislodge a defender in the mountains. However, PGM from aircraft as was done in Kargil can make a significant difference. IAF airstrikes (PGM) in Kargil were not directed at Paki infantry positions, they were directed at the Muntho Dalo supply depot. Once the supply ...

Moved over from the Tejas thread.... By the way, it is funny to read that many in BRF have negative views on the F-21. No kidding! It is just that many in BRF believe (like a number in the IAF do) that what value does the F-21 bring over the Rafale? If, by "value", you mean technical/tact...

Today the DBO airfield is 30 km from Chinese positions - well within artillery range. The Darbuk–Shyok-DBO Road is 7 km from Chinese positions - well within mortar ranges. Okay, but what you are implying (or hypothesizing about) is a situation where the Chinese "go kinetic" (start a serio...
