I am not sure if HAL's proposal is to build more Hawks, Hawk-i or not. The production line is closed and repurposed. I think they are suggesting tha IAF's Hawks be upgraded to Hawk-i standard.

What do you mean Sir? I was hoping IAF will consolidate their types as older generations get retired. While we are still waiting for LCA MK1A orders, MoD might choose to buy 20 of these, 36 of those, 114 of those and 57 of those. Then who is stopping to buy 36 of Su-57 and 36 of F-21/F-35/F-15. I s...

... Deejay sir, that's exactly what I said. Heavy Lift helicopters and medium anti-sub naval helicopters are the only ones that we should look to import.

There is no rhyme or reason. It is a result of a bitter turf way between IA and IAF for a decade.

Given the price of imported systems and the numbers that we require of various types of helicopters, I hope better sense prevails in the MoD and IAF, IA and IN, with regards to our current and future requirement of platforms. Only the capability that we don't have, should be imported. Currently onl...

How long should the IAF then wait for a mature solution to emerge from what the MiG-35 is today? Clearly the RuAF has no real intention of using it in any meaningful numbers, nor is there any development roadmap ahead when there is no paying customer. The MiG-35's strong point is it's superb aerody...

That interview was excellent and explained to me why none of the SU30 MKI pilots got any recognition after the battle.

Too much confusion about refuelling and crew change with the engine running. Hot refuelling is safety design factor. If you design the refuelling activity to be safe while the engine(s) are running then there is no bar to hot refuelling. HTT-40 has achieved this; kudos to the designers. Similarly, ...

Jammers are useful if you are nose-on or 180 degrees receding, given the fact jammers are nothing but lower powered "versions" of a radar type set-up. If you are maneuvering, your jammers will lose the target aircraft so its radar would work again. So unless you have a towed decoy to sedu...

Su 30 was not supposed to be more than half the fighter numbers. Our dwindling single engine fleet is because many Mig 21 Sqns have been taken off and replacement SE have not been found. Secondly, within the strength authorised, the role for IAF has been expanded. From pure defensive posture, the S...
