Good move there by HAL to fit in a Li-ion Battery in HTT-40. Most likely baby steps being taken to replace the 700KW Honeywell TPE-331 engine that powers the bird. Last page has details of 88 nos of TPE-331 to be supplied probably for IAF order fulfillment. All of this sub 1MW electric power propul...

If Chinese plan to make some kind of move on Taiwan later this year, would Wang-Yi's visit have any significance it that context? They would keep such an intention under tight wraps and would do it opportunistic, gauging the situation in Ukraine and how things pan out and if the West is scattered. N...

Thanks. I have heard in Tamil Nadu, many Christian converts don't report their true religion and still report as Hindu in the census. Their numbers are much larger and active conversion is going on in a big way. The dravidian parties atheism, but hypocrisy in misappropriation of temples assets and f...

I heard it was also because many foreign vendors wouldn't be coming to the DefExpo due to the situation in Ukraine. Saw in one of the Youtube video channels. Don't recall which.

Questions to the gurus: When Shakti engine for Dhruv was developed, was there a similar talk of collaborative development? I am not aware if Safran ever shared the hot section technology. Aren't we still completely dependent on them? I am not sure if that was the understanding from the beginning. Wo...

I thought MBRLs were area weapons. This shows seemingly pinpoint accuracy at 100 km?? Propaganda?

Stunning fan art of Naval Tejas with an imaginary camo and squadron.

Wow, can't take my eyes of her. Stunning artwork. Mk2 looks more and more beautiful (actually looks better than the model shown in AI, especially the canard/ canopy junction area) .

Second configuration? I don't see it in the image posted. Was it somewhere else?

If beauty alone can kill! She is stunning. I imagined it would be a little more conventional than this (based on past renderings). I see this as is a sign of our maturity and confidence. The rear fuselage is more conventional, less risk with adopting MWF design, which is a smart move. Perhaps chevro...

Very impressive numbers. With Tejas Mk1, 1A, and Mk2 poised to replace so many legacy fighters in IAF, we are sole sourced and firmly in the US orbit for engines. They will have a crushing grip on our air force. Regarding a dire push for our own powerplants, sadly I have not seen a reckoning in powe...

~$28 million a pop including simulators and equipment. A decent capability for smaller air forces if you don't want to be in China's MIC orbit (~1,100 mile range, 3.7 tons stores). What other aircrafts are out there that offer similar performance? Thanks.
