In a war, when your adversary is going to have a 200 - 250KM long ARM, streaming at you at Mach 4, datalinked, you really hope the propeller's are rotating fast.. really fast.. to allow you to land quickly. 200-250 km Air to Air Mach 4+ ARM with a counter shut down capability (that can survive airb...

So in the news its mentioned they are getting HMD ? I thought those were anyways integrated in MKI. Any one knows which HMD are those -- Elbit Systems Targo 2 ? Hope these BNET+ SDR from Astra-Rafael system also enable better integration with Phalcon AWACS. On that note they should also go ahead and...

Are we sure about this? I have heard reports that the MKI's computer failed to compute a firing solution. AFAIK, not true. Well that story has been circulated and written about by even likes of Vishnu Som. Shekhar Gupta repeated this exact piece of news in his recent cut the clutter on Rafale Induc...

http://indiafacts.org/conspiracy-against-narendra-modis-government/ The best case scenario for India here would be playing USA and China against each other.

A2G modes of UTTAM AESA can be developed over time. IAF if serious about indigenization will sincerely back it. For time being can we not use ELTA's ELM-2060P SAR/GMTI pod based solution ? At some point in time even for MKI this was used till all A2G modes were properly functional. Even in current R...

The PSUs will either have to be privatized, which is a political event, or give contracts to private companies for production which will require a huge capital outlay. Private companies will only be interested if they are given a level playing field. Also, what will we do with HAL and other PSUs if...

Guys this is the funniest video I have seen on Youtube on S-400 SAM by Indian guy. It's in Hindi but definitely worth a watch once due to this guys enthusiasm. We should invite this guy to BRF will be fun !!!

What people are also forgetting with Rafale which has planned F4 and very possible F5 version (~2030) with 6th generation tech we will have a very good upgrade path which will put pressure over our adversaries. What 6th gen tech? Rafale's F4/F5 version will put it at par with F-35 in terms of Senso...

What people are also forgetting with Rafale which has planned F4 and very possible F5 version (~2030) with 6th generation tech... Typo saar? Did you mean 5th generation tech?

If J-20 is not stealthy, Rafale will make a mincemeat of it and we are safe for another 10-15 years. If J-20 is good, we will have to then go for SU-57 (hopefully operational by then) or F-35 (if geopolitics favor it). Our MCA is way into the future and who knows how good it will be. However LCA, L...

Some people have mentioned about Rafale's low flying capability, see below video as a testimony. Imagine it sneaking through Himalayas like that loaded with Hammer AASM to get to it's target, scaring Erieye with Meteor.

Sumeet

Rafale is going to crash. Just a reality of combat flying. IAF is prepared for that eventuality. Media and Politicians are not. It will be a crash of a different kind. DCNS in France leaked 90% of the information out about the India specific Scorpene. How do we know Dassault will not do the same? R...

Tejas Mk1A and Tejas MK2/MWF will be backbone of our fighter force for a long time to come. We should play smart here and get all sensors and avionics ready in time even if foreign collaboration is needed with Elta/Elisra/Elettronica etc. Eventually what is imported content can be swapped out with d...

Sumeet

Without aircraft carriers we will be fighting China on our Southern tip. Let's get our carrier force build up going so that we can project our power deep into blue. The more power we have the more allies will find us beneficial to collaborate with. Plus we need a minmum of 3 carriers to handle TSP a...

Sumeet

Well why speculate on whether Tejas MK2 can beat Rafale or not. By the time it comes out Rafale will be at F4 standard. It's silly to talk whether Tejas can beat Rafale or vice versa. I sincerely hope IAF is closely involved and feedback on aerodynamics of M2K, Rafale and Tejas Mk1 experience all co...

I presume Rafale will come with own SDR, all our legacy aircraft were pre digital era, the Su-30MKI scream for an upgrade with AESA radar , MAWS, SDR, updated IRST, ODL and more important long range BVR's, RVV -BD for Awacs, fleet wise Astra availability etc. Aditya, Don't even get me started on ho...

Well IAF seems to love French equipment since time of Kargil. Recall MRCA in its oldest avatar was just buy 126 Mirage 2000. Even during Balakot we see IAF's love affair with French birds although weaponry used was Israel's Spice. Some of Rafale's weaponry can be integrated with Tejas MK1A and MK2 v...

India should pursue both MWF and follow on batche(s) [ 1 - 3] of Rafale when F4 version matures including upgrading existing ones to F4 standard as well. There is no need for new circus called MMRCA 2. Complete focus should be on indigenous R&D & production eco system for this whole decade f...

Man this sucks in 2020+ time frame we will be installing a PESA radar on our frontline fighter.
