Why are lot of youtube channels proping up and claiming that GE has offered us uprated version of F414 which has thrust in excess 110KN. Have i missed something ?

That's why I said the Phalcon has a radius of coverage of 400km. It need not have reached its station point (which would have usually placed it 150km within India and looking 250km into Pak, for example) t o see what happened on our LOC. Chances are that even enroute to the station point, it did re...

Another thing, not a single ZDK-03 has been used in the engagement. Compare and contrast to our usage of Netra which we used in the initial Balakot strikes. Just shows that the PRC stuff hyped and mentioned by PAF fanboys as the ultimate.. in reality is anything, but. Karan, Speaking of AWACS, AEWC...

Posting a Gripen video about g forces here. These are the types of videos that the Tejas team should roll out ! It will do a world of good in terms of PR.

Mods - remove video if inappropriate for thread, but wanted to show an example.

IAF's official channel has Tejas video with commentary. Camera work is shody, but hey they are trying. IAF is definitely in love with Tejas..

Malaysia is a Muslim country and Tejas Mk1 is equipped with Israeli Elta 2032 radar and Litening pod that is Haraam. How do we bridge this gap? Assuming we qualify a Thales RDY-3 radar and Damocles pod for a MKM version, that will be time and money consuming to develop and certify. It will push tim...

What does this even mean ? Doesnt make sense Usually, just detecting an aircraft on radar doesn’t mean having a ‘firing solution’. In order to have a firing solution, you need accurate azimuth, elevation and range/velocity data. Unlike ground radars, aircraft radars aren’t stationary. Also our airc...

IAF has now officially come on record regarding F16 kill. This is an organisation that gave credit for a F104 kill 20+ years later. I can see on tweeter as well, IAF coming out categorically.

1500 sorties completed by 45. Roughly translates to more or less 1000 hours of flying time in Tejas over 2 years. I do not have a yardstick in terms of hours that are usually put on a airframe in IAF - maybe knowledgeable members can shed some light on this.

More than ADA, I am worried about IAF. 10 years gives a big opening for MMRCA characters to push in their hardware. Hope ADA brings out the prototype fast. nam, The clearance for MCA shows the Import option is foreclosed and no more dalal netas will come back to power. That is the strong undercurre...

F-16 Blk 70 or call it F-21 should be a good buy if IAF wants to bump up Squadron Number with Good Quality Aircraft with Low Maintenance ( single engine ) and proven airframe design.

Agree with Nam , it is setup for failure. We have had countless discussions on engine change - but this model confirms every bit of our suspicion.
