A BIG surprise (for me at least): Developing the ‘Smart Skin’ concept for Su-30MKI And come 2014, UAC, together with Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) will begin upgrading the first 100 IAF Su-30MKIs by modifying their airframes to make them stealthy, converting the existing ‘Bars’ into an active phas...

On "millions" of lines of code: Yes it is a bitch, no two ways about it (I have been there personally). First, as part of the "ToT" I would expect some code, so there is no question about "from scratch". Second, the quality of code India can get will vary from each vend...

Can you enlighten us about the logic behind your theory of sharing the HW onlee and no SW My post two posts prior to yours: Which is why I would HOPE that India gets the hardware as ToT and whatever software it can get - in the 60% ToT for AESA. Besides: "HOPE", is in capitals!!!! I presu...

Hell they wouldnt give it to UAE after UAE had paid to have it written. I never expect the US to part with their AESA code. Please (re)read my postS. I am not sure what they will and they won't give.

No expert - even in my dreams - but, isn't the Milan a 2 Km, IR guidance, etc. Nag is supposed to be fire&forget, 4Km, hits the top of a tank, etc?

Sir can you explain why unkil is not AFRAID(if it is) of losing the contract while more or only AFRAID of lowering the prices? That is the easiest part. The "source" stated it, which was reported by the news report, which is what I pretty much quoted. Also, it makes sense (to me at least)...

As stated: While the USA has claimed that the Gripen has only a "very limited" chance of being selected, the possible inclusion of an Israeli radar would have allowed New Delhi to push down the price of rival offers to supply either the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet or the Lockheed Martin ...
