Re: Indian Air Force News & Discussion - 15 Dec 2016
I was ignoring the business side of things, but a cheap domestic jet plane built around the HTFE25 engine with the sensors and weapons package and instrumentation we've built for the Hawk-i will be a good sales prospect as it will be cheap and allow affordable and effective force projection by the b...

Re: Very Long Range Precision (VLRP) Fire Systems Study
This is probably a thread hijack. If it is, tell me where this should go because we worry too much about the Chinese bogieman when all evidence indicates our armed forces have a good handle on the problem. I think of long range precision fire as our magic wand to utterly dominate China in any future...

Re: Indian Air Force News & Discussion - 15 Dec 2016
Spoken like someone who thinks unless the warplane is at the absolute cutting edge, it is useless. I'd say that, properly armed with capable BVR, WVR and sensors - of which three, we're got or are getting there with two local systems - trainers can take on the best that our neighbors can field at an...

Re: Indian Air Force News & Discussion - 15 Dec 2016
Think of it this way: I think, current and past IAf personnel can correct me if I’m wrong, trainers won’t be counted towards the official squadron limits of the IAF. So that’s several squadrons of planes that aren’t exactly ready for dogfights, but which can fight BVR or do CAS or point defence of s...
