I made a point. Obviously you and few others don't agree with that. It is ok.

I am not getting into any specifics, word-play or debate over it, as it will not add any value to the thread. You can take it or leave it.

Lets move past it.

The gap lies in your understanding. Think about that for a moment. India is not playing a game of catch up with anyone. Get that notion out of your head. We are acquiring capabilities that we believe will be valuable for us in the long term. We are not interested in childish games of my-sandbox-is-...

SinghS

The gap is exactly the reason that they offer us F-21(a second generation system) not F-35/F-22. India has procured the S-400 and the US is completely against exporting its aircraft to a country that has the same. Next, the F-22 is out of production. Right now they have the NGAD program, and they a...

And then Ramana-ji the calls will begin. Since America is 45 years ahead of India in terms of aviation design and know-how, we should shut down our aviation industry and buy American. Rakesh-Ji, I am still in Jai Shri Ram mode not Assalam alaikum mode. :rotfl: What I said was not to diss our effort...

SinghS

Nobody in the US for instance would be as sanguine for instance about how ahead their technological lead is. Much of what they used for their systems two generation back is now available in the open market as commercial off the shelf units, which they spent billions on, as being first developers. T...

Man-hours of implementing and testing the FBW can't be leapfrogged without investing money and giving time to our scientists. What is in the lab doesn't matter much in projecting your strength, what matters is what is fielded. The gap lies in a fieldable system and owning it. If I said gap of 45 yea...

SinghS

What is actually foolish IMHO is to claim a random 45 year figure without even looking into the details. Take your above comparison now, at least you are starting to get into some detail - of something 33 years back. Is the FBW something India can't do today? Is it's IR suppression or RAM as it was...

SinghS

B2 flew 1989, Swift flew 2022. Gap 33 years. It will be foolish for us to think that for 32 years USA was sitting and twiddling its thumbs. B2 was in service in 1997. A completely developed stealth platform with a competent fly-by-wire, RAM Coatings, IR-Suppression, Contrail management system and mu...

SinghS

We may not be at the bleeding edge, but we have certainly approached the cutting edge in several areas, despite a very frugal budget. You have nailed it - "frugal budget". There is no substitute for that, if we ever wish to leapfrog. The difference between US wrt others is that they have ...

SinghS

I just did a quick comparison on two parameters. We can think of it as airy fairy, as data is not presented and just a number is cited out of thin air. I am sure the gap is in double digits. But is it half a century?...we need a detailed analysis. I feel this area is more appropriate for the governm...

I did a quick simple arithmetic yesterday just for the sake of it, as I was too bored and work was getting too monotonous.

I concluded that India is behind by minimum 45 years than USA when it comes to aerospace. Take FWIF.

I have the same idea. I am surprised that the vertical stabilizer was always in the plan. It negates LO to some extent. Then why go for LO at all and make all those compromises. Seems like a case of code reuse. They have already developed a pretty good UAV flight control system with Rustom. It make...

SinghS

then why not have two canted vertical stabilizer. The canting angle helps in further LO. Maybe the effort is to realize a true flying wing without vertical stabilizer. If this is the goal, why to waste time & effort in canted angle stabilizers? Maybe once they are satisfied with the authority o...

Has swift suddenly sprouted a vertical stabilizer? A little weird for a flying wing test-bed.
There was none in the HSTT trial:

I have put it side by side for gurus to comment.

Admins can we have a page for academic discussion on why a Hindu sides with the enemy against his own? In the wake of Nupur Sharma suspension, No action on Bengal violence, Delhi Riots, Kashmir genocide and many such incidents, the pertinent questions are: 1. Most of our politicians are Hindu, yet 9...

SinghS

Most of the information you have referenced is about getting the missile to a point where the active seeker can take over. The hard part in targeting and hitting a manouvering target comes after that. Is it really so hard when the relative velocity of the target wrt incoming missile makes the targe...

SinghS

Another factor which will result in WVR contact is the terrain. In the mountainous regions across LoC and LAC, a low-flying fighter can appear out of nowhere and take the enemy by surprise. Even AWACS won't be of much help Like 27-Feb-19, with numerical Advantage, lots of AEW - a 100 plus million d...

PS: If there are very specific military indigenisation questions, they might be willing to ask those as well [but I cannot promise this, though I will try]. Let's try to raise following points: 1. Why did we never commissioned any flying testbed for a project of this nature? Now with 4 Boeing dereg...

Some points a naval fighter differs from an AF one out of many: 1. A different wing geometry --- lift and sink requirements are different 2. Different fastening and anchor points and system in airframe structure --- to have a decent life of airframe and damp excessive vibrations inside 3. A differen...

Comments like that make no sense. How much payload can th Tejas MK1 carry in its internal bays? What’s it range and Payload in a high-low-low profile? This is a completely different mission.

While blaming ADE for delays, lets also ask two pertinent questions: 1. Rustom -1 was ready long ago, which is comparable to what Turkish people achieved much later.

To be fair, I have sweet memories of Bihar and Bengal from my childhood till school days. The main problem is that most of the people have lost hope and courage in front of the ecosystem and have embraced it for their survival.
