US modus operandi for total world hegemony: the last bastion - Asia Post the demise of the Soviet Union, there has been a vacuum created for the post of global peer/co-hegemon cum regional hegemon for Asia/Eurasia.

Vishnu,I can't remember whether you flew the LCA as well.It would be most interesting to compare the LCA's flight characteristics with the Gripen,since they are so similar in size and role.The only Q mark about the Gripen is as to its payload/range factor,vis-a-vis the larger heavier twin-engined r...

AnuragK, The gun you are reffering to is the M621, it is 20 mm X 102 mm automatic cannon cartridge of French origin developed by Nexter. Many thanks for the info. Actually, there are several calibers of 20mm, so i just wanted to be sure because only the 102 mm has an acceptable ballistic profile ar...

Craig Alpert -

Could you please let me know the caliber of the 20mm projectile/shell of the LCH main gun, i.e. 20x??mm

The url page has nothing of what you quoted.

The odds also seem to be absolutely well assessed. The writer must be an ever winning profes...

vishnu, we simply don't know, the KS-172 seems to have fallen off public radar. the R-74 and an advanced variant of the R-77 are other options. we should know by the next MAKS. The last that that was heard of the K-172 was that the project was in limbo due to lack of funding. Also, there was news o...

all our fighters need MAWS and wingtip towed decoy not just MKI. even the top of tailfin could be considered if wingtip is a issue. Could not agree with you more. Wonder why IAF tends to neglect this area. It may be recalled that CMDS was not on the IAF's radar until after the infamous Kargil sting...

AnuragK

May be there could be DIRCM under development for 5th gen fighter that gets in to MKI ? Perhaps some derivative of President-S or something else ? Another thing to look forward will be the L-Band wing mounted AESA radar , that would be a nice addition to cue up against low RCS target when combined ...

That is exactly what I'm arguing. Escalation of cost of sugar is a part of CPI (Consumer price index which measures your cost of living or what you have been calling 'inflation'). You cannot use CPI as an index for measuring cost of technology intensive products. See my example of laptops or your o...

You are not getting the point, do you? Yes, the inflation rise will increase the cost to $ 80-85 m/unit. Accepted. I couldnt agree with your assessment of extra ~ 20 m USD for the radar & engine. Becoz, it will be replacment to the exisiting one where you need to deduct the price. And the cost(...

nrshah -

thanks for the info. and much appreciated.

AnuragK

For the same configuration in timeline 2015-2018 by natural inflationary accounting, the price would be we can safely assume around USD 80-85 million/unit. The balance USD 17-22 million is obviously for the extras to keep up with tech evolution and would perhaps include the following: 1) Article 11...

AnuragK

Please get it in perspective. Here are the facts: 1) Prices were negotiated in 1996/1997 for ex-Russia delivery of 50 + 140 to be made at HAL. a)Price at that point in time was USD 35 million/unit fly-away cost. b)India paid Russia a price of USD 30 million/unit (this was minus some standard fitment...

To all you folks who have responded with IB4TL, my advice would be that you please direct your energies in contributing/enhancing productively to the context of the subject with your knowledge.

IMHO, the $40 million a piece price for MKI does not include the price of French/Israeli/Indian avionics that the MKI has. So the over all price of the MKI is much higher than $40 million. Singha, my guess about it being Su-35 is entirely based on its steep price increase, which seems really improb...

[quote="Dmurphy"]I don't know why we're so sure the latest batch of 42 a/cs is the Su-30MKI. Just because the DDM reports so? I've raised it before and I'll raise it again. They've gotto be having something carrying something extra as compared to the earlier batches. May be they're Su-35 B...
