mad cap Anthony I really wonder what we will do if there is a an attack by the chinks, what are we going to do without artillery , they have 10000 art pieces, Anthony is going to tell them wait till we get some?? Practically speaking, the lives of our men at risk for want of hardware of all sort. Ac...

Mad cap Anthony Anthony has black listed IMI and other companies , does he realize the damage he is doing to the country ? Its a case of acting or trying to project a clean governance. If a 3rd rate OFB official takes a bribe why should the country suffer?. IN the same case why arent politicians bla...

If the news that we are going in for the spike is true then it could mean the death of the Nag missile . As it would not make sense reinventing the wheel when the all the versions of the spike are available including the heli launched version . What i hear is no one was willing to transfer the tech ...

I think i got some info for my question on the net "Air Vice Marshal A Agrawal (retired), a director of Basant Aerospace, told Jane's that he saw the SWAK on display in Singapore and realised it would meet an emerging Indian Air Force requirement for a stand-off precision guided munition (PGM)....

Thanks victor,
A write up anybody ?, obviously it has not been designed in India ,as they would have to have wind tunnel access
and I dont remember any body designing it in india , it would take at least 5 years .

where did the tech come from ?

I saw a dummy of an airlaunched glide bomb in aero india and the company which was promoting it was called basant industries , I was more than happy to see it , but unfortunately there does not seem to be any pic or discussion about it .

I think to conclude that Arihant is vastly superior to the chinese subs would be incorrect, The chinese have been building and operating nuke subs for a very long time and surely they know a thing or 2 more than us . Ok we have got asisitance from the soviets , so have they . One of the reasons they...

I join Kartik`s opinion where he says that the wing design of the jf-17 was lifted and put on the jf-17. and added lerx of the f-18 and the intakes of the f-35 The wing planform seems too identical to be an original design. Moreover when the f-16 is a classic design success ,why waste time in reinve...

Dear Hari nair When i talked about test schedule i was refering to wether doing a barrel role was a test point to be achieved , Is the hardware and software of the auto hover mode made in india or is it imported? also there was some talk of active vibration cancellation system , is it also incorpora...

rad

Dear Hari Nair Thanks for clearing the barrel roll importance , when you talk of over the top manouver is it like a stall turn in a fixed wing aircraft ,or in a heli where your nose is pointing straight up and nearly zero airspeed and then stomping on the rudders to swing the nose of the heli to poi...

Yes i think they do have them , and also an auto hover flight control mode as well.

Hari nair correct me if i am wrong

Dear Hari Nair I really appreciate the time and effort you take to explain helicopter aerodynamics to half baked people like me , it shows your patience and will to teach .It is one thing to be a TP and another thing to teach.I recall seeing a video series on "THE EMPIRE TEST PILOT SCHOOL"...

Dear Hari Nair

Please explain what is control saturation , how and in what mode of flight can it occur and what we should do to avoid

getting into that situation . I have 6 hrs on Robinson R-22 but that that was nearly 20 years back , cheers

LCA air to air weapons AS the LCA is nearing the IOC phase there is no mention of the weapons ie Air to Air apart from the r-73 , how are we going to match the jf-17 with its amraam type chinese active missile ?. I personaly dont believe that the astra will come in quickly enough , so the only other...

Its high time we invested in SAR aircraft like the sentinel program of the UK based on a bombardier ac , I hear they are very pleased with the performance as it incorporates technology more later than the JSTAR platform, it has been offered to india and we should go for it or we should go for the is...

Shiv i would tend to partly agree with you , of course ECM would also be the option but you should remember that given its sophistication no body knows wether the later amraams can be decoyed or deflected by EW .That would be tricky ,as being unsuccesful would mean death. I am sure that Israel would...

Miissles for the LCA We just recently lost the critical advantage that we had all these years with the supply of AMRAAMs C-5 version to pakistan which is better in all aspects than the basic models in all spheres.

If it is true that a su30 mki has been given to TACDE only now after nearly a decade of sukhoi operation Then i think it is a crime , usually when a new A/ C comes to service the first thing usualy done is to send it to any TACDE type of institution to evolve new tactics based on the strengths of th...

Has anybody done an elaborate study pertaining to the difference between the malaysian sukhoi and the inidan sukhoi.? It appears that they have a Maws which we dont have and also the HUd seems bigger brighter and wider. Any info on the EW part?. AFAIK no fighter ac has a dircm but we have to invest ...

One of the major obstacles that had to be over come was of the connecting link between the decoy and the ac being burned by after burner so it took a lot of time and effort to overcome that, and today it is made of fibre optic cable , that does not radiate RF while transmiting. The decoy pod was nev...

The Mention of MAWS just reminded me of the threat that our sukhois will be facing ,In an all out war obviously they will target our ac with multi launches of amraams to be sure of a kill and in a dogfight situation IIR A darter missile will be fired at us as well. It is a common knowledge that thes...

We should have opted for the later IRBIS Radar and the ks-172 missiles , I think the russians are playing hardball if they dont agree , and might say we will only give it if you buy the later -su-35.

I think we should take the statement that our HUD `s are better than the Israeli ones, with a bit of salt , may be better in some ways than the older versions compared . We should understand that they are in the forefront of technology in avionics, wherelese we have just started .World over Holograp...

The Ram air scoop at the base of the fin is for cooling the space between the engine and the airframe, I had asked the guy near the LCA model at aero india 2007 and this was his answer, especialy during after burner engagement there seems to be a lot of heat generated which was concerning . As far a...

HI Krish Regarding the rate of turn of the LCA it was quite obvious that the performance of the LCA was no way near the full potential as the during the last aero india and the previous ones.

Tsarkar , your analysis of the Pak adge and shoraad system was good , it should be wake up call for those who think it would be a cake walk during a CAS .

15 km is too low a range for a mraam , obviously it is not right because if the missile travelled for 60 secs and covered 15 km then the average speed would be approx 250 meters per sec . I think the nag missile travels faster!. The r-73 travels further I think.

rad

Most probably the radar we developed with the French for the anti ballistic missile system would be a version similar to the Master M3R AESA radar . The picture of the radar depicted in this page is the Master M radar which is a planar radar.
