dear nakul, i agree that corruption is universal. i have a problem with the extent of it. somehow i feel that you just don't get what i am trying to say. a private enterprise will not hit his own bottom line or top line or whatever. It will still try to be competitive depending on the environment. c...

malli

a clarification.
i am a capitalist, i.e. a champion of capitalism and free enterprise.
my earlier post didn't actually directly reflect that.

malli

no system or sub system is or can be totally indigenous. as capitalism is competition without discipline, socialism is Marxism without discipline and communism is Marxism with discipline. we are still policy wise a deeply socialist military industrial complex that has absolutely no incentive for inn...

"Please remember, those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it." i agree with your comment. we flogged a losing horse for 50 years and are condemned to repeat it. someone a couple of decades back back tried to set us right and our present prosperity is a debt we owe to hi...

50 years for a research project???? It would make sense if you you were a manager in HAL. it wont for anyone else.

IF I can model you, you cannot hide. NO way. buying out tech and manufacturing plants Absolutely nothing original about that. In fact, it is, very, very predictable. (Compare that to Indian AMCA or even the LCA. See the amount of riskS that "India" took. Or is willing to take.) good luck ...

China, IMHO is the least of the factors. Outside of the fact that they are (currently) the world's best xerox shop, they have made enough countries sit up and take notice of their waging tail. I understand that they are investing very heavily in research, etc, etc, etc...... but it takes about 35 y...

There is no Gripen NG. It will happen if we commit 10 billion dollars.

I am happy that somehow some sanity and logic has returned to this esteemed forum. what I've observed is that now no one seems to be questioning the advantage that the american birds will bring to the IAF. Everyone seems to be concentrating on the negatives. There aren't too many except for the cons...

nihat and nachiketa,
the euro twins may be the favourites but they are also the most expensive. probably that will kill them both.

somehow all we are bothered about is whether the cat is white or brown. we just dont care whether it can catch any mice becos we really dont care that it will. its very fortituis that i happened to read a quote by Chamberlain today that the Indians are so very keen on America's support but just dont...

LSA is vital for the IN. No other service will be affected. we give logistics support to the USAF on case to case basis. in the last decade we havent denied the USAF and the USN has not denied the IN or vice versa even on a case to case basis. what this agreement entails is that both countries will ...

the facts are there in my posts. its a 1650km ROA vs 340 nm, its a 125 KN engine vs a 90 KN one, its 4.5 tonnes vs 2.5 tonnes meaningful payload, its an endurance of 2-30 vs 1-30 hrs, its aesa now against aesa later, its about A-A, A-G, ARM, LACM, etc against future capabilities. at the same price....

To better oneself is the nature of successful organisations and individuals. our L1 norms and risk averse nature has resulted in some amazing status quo's. the TOT recieved during the build of the Nilgiri Class has survived even to this day, when the private sector is supplying components for the Da...

to Rajanb and Nrao:
China independently developed a double delta wing with increased internal fuel. it also introduced indegenous engines with greater thrust. IIT's, notwithstanding we just couldnt do it. or should i say HAL couldnt.

malli, You want to make statements without backing them up with facts and reasoning? OK..but do not expect any of us to take you seriously. This is my last post to you on this matter. Man, the MRCA thread has really gone to dogs. No wonder that most of the knowledgeable folks hardly take a look aro...

Malli F-16IN is inferior to Grippen if there are restrictions and monitoring activities which come with F-16IN are absent with Grippen. F-16IN is inferior if the source code of its AESA radar is not available, unlike in the case of Grippen, where it will be available. And your point regarding the t...

India wants fighter jets – but without American baggage If Govt of India and the IAF know that they will not be able to get US aircraft with the required configuration, I wonder as to why F16 and F18 were even considered as contenders? Waste of time and money. It is a way to create a lobby. The lob...

Malli, Answering your post above I will first mention that I am swedish and Gripen fanboy. I am aware about this and stating this view clearly give anyone reading this post the opportunity to give my thoughts a more accurate and unbiased weight.

RahulM, There are cursory reports of FSU/Afghan AF planes being challenged by TSPA F-16s in the mid 80s. it was covered very well in the media at that time. the russians claimed that a TSPA F16 was shot down by a Mig 21 while Time magazine wrote that it was a friendly fire incident. Much later TSPA...

malli, Frankly, this is getting a bit tiresome. So, to repeat jai's question, what is your point? there was no question in my last two posts. the point was that we all need to come out of the imperialism/ cold war prism and choose the best. Forget conspiracy theories. they are the last refuge of th...

i am very surprised with this argument. firstly TSP never \had more than 52 teens. They could not afford more. Till 2005 all they had was only F-16A/B s with no BVRAAM.

my views are very very simple. these birds had double the range of our soviet birds, they were more serviceable and 52 of them were enough to deter us when they were operational. the jags with the asm had a range of 300 nm while the teens had a range of 520 nm. it makes operational planning very ve...
