I hope, once the S-400 batteries are in place, we will start taking out Paki bunkers & posts that provide covering fire. Or even every time a terrorist gets killed (or kills) in the hinterland. They should know this equation: "1 terrorist ID'ed = Paki soldiers get halal'ed" Not that w...

A question to Gurus (with reference to the conformal Fuel tanks). I feel the Primary role of the MK1A/MK1 would primarily be that of an interceptor (and to bolster numbers). It would be a Nasty Nasty condition if we have to resort to Tejas for Ground attack or long range penetration role. Given tha...

Su-30MKi v/s Thunder simulation... This is a DCS simulation and a lot depends on the skill of the player. Sidewinder and longshot know their stuff very well. Also, it depends on how developed the DCS mod is. JF17 has been around for some time. There are simulations by terrorists babies showing off ...

Events have put the GE414 at serious sanctions risk I am not sure they will risk the possibility of not selling 200+ engines to India with spares. MK2 is still Design in progress, India might just bite the bullet and re engine the plane (Its a lose-lose situation for all). It might provide the righ...

I am curious to know, which asset did PAF deploy; that caused the intermittent communication jamming? ........ We lacked enough surveillance of paki landmass, advance intelligence and planning for aftermath, once we bombed Pakis. What is bothering me are: did we not know in advance that they have s...

Having a loss of pressurization AND an FCS failure suggests some software problem (or the electronics that control both systems).

P.S. people are cagey about sharing the TRM count of various aircraft. Unlike us, who share Uttam's specs freely, I couldn't find the TRM count on F-16's APG-83 or F22's or the Gripen-E's Vixen radar I was surprised at the sharing of this information in this video. Equally surprised about the shari...

I dont think we have seen Tejas at 9g yet... Experimentally cleared to 8.5 and generally limited to 8g. But what I dont understand is the slow speed pass. Bahrain 110Kts, Aero India 2021 - 120 Kts. May have some thing to do with the locking of the AoA on the prod aircraft

For all the talk of starting war (or one starting on its own), I believe the following are a reality check. Currently we have demonstrated that India is no pushover. We have also made it amply clear to the Han that we cannot be spoken to in a condescending voice. If the Chinese foreign affairs spok...

I seriously hope leadership + bureaucracy + military do not vacate any ridgelines & heights for "de-escalation" since now that the Chinese know the Indian response, they'll start by occupying these ridgelines & highpoints next time. Like Kargil, we dont have any option remaining b...

Can we leave that speculation about the picture behind? It is likely pre-Galwan according to Gokhale. If the PLA doesn't have competent personnel in place, it soon will as the situation is becoming more serious. It is better to assume they are competent. 1.

Gurus/Seniors, We may for now not even need to ask for meeting and keep on strengthening the newly acquired positions with better infra. And in the next summer readjust some more heights further.

The lifts can currently carry the MiG-29K and the Tejas Mk1. Boeing has confirmed that the F-18 will fit on the lifts. The Rafale M cannot fit on the lifts. Dassault is suggesting detachable wingtips. F-35B and F-35C will not fit either. I am not sure about TEDBF. TEDBF is being explicitly designed...

Usually Mig 21 carry 4 AAMs, Tejas can carry 5 AAms + SPJ, clearly an improvement over current condition. Remember even with 24+ enemy, IAF fired only 1 missile. The 6AAM+centerline tank config will probably be used for QRA and point defence missions. CAP missions will probably require 2 wing tanks...

Is jammer pod integrated? I hope it is therefore it has been forward deployed. Jamming pod integration is included in Mk1A, although I'm sure it will be back-ported to the Mk1 once done. I don't think integration of jamming pod is a necessity for forward deployment in the IAF. The Mig-29's were for...

Thanks for breaking out the details tsarkar sir. But the larger point is that, even without A2G mode of Uttam: 1) The Tejas had one of the best range scores in A2G missions in exercises 2) The Litening pod is mighty effective in favorable conditions 3) Barring the Rafale, none of the other fighters...

Its like in The Imitation Game. You keep as much of your capabilities hidden until absolutely necessary.

Sid - there is a double standard that runs so deep that some of the folks don't even realize their bias. The services buy a lot of equipment that is not let's say "operational" at the time of delivery due to shortcomings in technology. I have listed them (shtil Air Defence system with the...

So was it a wise decision in hindsight to hold production off for these two items? Would it have been a wise decision to build aircraft with lossy radomes or no radomes? And send them to combat like that? Yes, if this is better than what is present at hand, then the answer to your question is a big...
