If a war starts on LoC and Laddakh, then what will India use to provide CAS and long distance anti-armour firepower to its ground troops? Fixed wing aircraft can't provide same type of support. Requirement for LCH was felt in 1999 and the program was started keeping these needs in mind. Rudra is not...

Pakistan has ancient Mirage III and Vs which are good only for ground attack roles. They have created infrastructure for their maintenance and repair in-house.

Mirage 2000 is a very different bird and will need lot of new investments in addition to airframe cost.

A lot of "vegetarian" animals like horses are opportunistic meat eaters and will grab a quick bite of a small bird, small mammals and insects quite regularly.
Monkeys actually hunt other animals.

A beam of a 40 m long Airbus seems a bit of waste. Unlike Embraer, most versions of A-320 are big enough for idli, extra power and electronics. Beam antenna makes sense if aircraft is smaller like A-319. Also the idli antenna has been designed and undergone wind tunnel testing in 2017. All in all, i...

Netra on Embraer is always called AEW&C while Phalcon is always called AWACS. Netra-MkII on A-319 is being called AEW&C too. What's the difference between the two?
