Ruski behavior just shows that winter is coming. IIRC We recently rescued kalashnikov from a very precarious situation.

Lets not shiver by a propagandu video.

Heartbreaking to hear the loss. RIP sir. A series of losses this year making it a test of time.

Hope the gurus from the forum or some journo write a tribute for him and his role in reviving the tejas and htt40.

A pretty shitty post by hushkit. ..

Gaurav, why post links to that guy and his crap and give him more hits. He is a jerk with a major superiority complex who runs a blog but acts as if he is a WW aviation authority.

Thanks

True MWF has been WT tested as said in the video amd soon going for metal cutting stage. Plus it is a production model ac so less turnaround time.

Yes from my arm chair perspective, it is to mitigate risk. Mk1A is HAL project. From the learnings of jaguar AESA, they are porting the 2052 to LCAMk1A. It should take lesser time and lesser risk.
