Nice Pic. What different functions do the right/left joysticks do? Obviously only one controls the aircraft.

The two look different so its not the same function. Is one for the canards and the other for the main controls?

Drevin

Nice article that explains how the thrust of the EJ200 will increase to 27-28klbf as a MLU feature. Also check out the sophisticated TVC nozzle being built by ITP, Spain also part of the MLU Tranche3 package. Plz check the section titled "Future of the EJ200" http://www.eurofighter-typhoon...

Typhoon's get AESA

http://www.eurofighter.com/news/20070510CAESAR.asp

Drevin

nice one ..... and my doubt was answered by Saik ...its 2-stage and 3000km. Arun thanks for all the background information on the agni series ... really kept us well informed.

Drevin

question: 3-stage or 2-stage missile?

Drevin

If the pre-req for the MRCA plane is an AESA Rafale and Typhoon get booted isn't it? Rafale F3 is going to fly only early next year and F3 doesn't have the AESA. Its only in 2011 that F4 with AESA will enter production ....

Drevin

I agree with Shankar on the APG79 part ..... The APG 79 has some well documented problems that reduce its effectiveness. Its just that no one knows about this. And we shouldn't be in a situation where we find out the APG79 is not all that great after we purchase it.

Drevin

Mig35 ... see the pictures on br's website. and see rakalls posts regarding the same. they finally got in an aesa too. and its engines have a FADEC ...so yea its big on my list of possible victors. Rafale also with a chance because it will come with meteor bvraam and a 2nd generation aesa and has go...

Drevin

vivek, if you notice carefully .... all the folks who aren't impressed with the grippen are those who have checked it out at aeroindia '07 .... so i go with rakall, joey, ..... the grippen didn't impress them .... and lets not question their judgement .... both rakall and joey have contributed immen...

Drevin

The marine version is the same as the one for the lca with some corrosion resistance and the same thrust problems

Drevin

Is the Rafale on display ?? If it is maybe someone can post.

Drevin

yep sarang will continue

most importantly try to find out if snecma will jv with gtre for kaveri completion at the snecma stall

I am sure folk near the shakti stall will have an idea about this.

Drevin

Supposedly, The AAD is supposed to be equivalent to the Patriot/PAC3 or better. The PAD is supposed to be equivalent to the Arrow or better. :!: How can PAD be compared to Arrow. PAD is a HTK weapon without a warhead whereas Arrow is not a HTK ABM and carries a proximity warhead. Infact I think ther...

Drevin

Austin, very informative article .... very well structured. Thanks a lot for the link Ramana.

Drevin

ooooooooooooooooo ok .... gawd it. Thank you alok. too much pressure at work man ..... my brain is too stressed out. shiv ur sarcasm is to wacky

stretches my brain.

feel like a rubberband.

Drevin

:-? I didnt understand one bit. What is this mangolia got to do with pakistan let alone zia-ul-haq. Its like oil and soapnut powder. Where is peaceful Mangolia and where is the fanatical ex-dictator of Pakistan. Worlds apart. Please enlighten me....... Ah k you pulling Arun's leg cause he likes mang...

Drevin

I agree that we must keep MIRV technology in mind as the final frontier for our BMD evolutionary process. Since it is confirmed that boost phase intercepts are very difficult we need to track each of the warheads in a MIRV missile warhead and destroy it before it hits the target. But as Dileep menti...

Drevin

I hope Musharaf isn't joking. What plesbicite

...... It doesn't exist. And POK is Pakistan occupied Kashmir

ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED

He should just shut his trap and return POK.

Drevin

akutcher no one is expecting an intercept 500km away !!!!! Relax man. Paki BM's will be in boost phase even 200km's from the tracking radar in rajasthan. Thats why I said its possible to intercept Paki BM's at boost phase. Anything wrong with that :?: I was trying to conclude that MIRV tech won't fl...

Drevin

saty apologies ... not getting personal here. I just wanted to keep the discussion more focussed on the PAD missile ... if i have inadverently offended you in the process apologies. And you have an above average IQ okay. :) Also I was under the preconceived notion that boost phase is all the way unt...

Drevin

saty don't change the topic .... by talking about air or space based detection platforms. Let us now confine ourselves to a land based radar. Just for simplicity sake. Its also realistic. The Prithvi interceptor i think demonstrated a boost phase intercept. I know its ambiguous .... but I think an i...

Drevin

The Interceptor missile kills in boost phase ...

Drevin

MIRV tech is sooooooo dead

I suddenly love the Israeli's and Americans. Hindi-Israeli bhai bhai

Drevin

You both r saying the same thing.

Drevin

DDMitis

Drevin

The fact that it is AXO means that most of the interceptions will be within earth's atmosphere. The variation is height is not important. What is important is the time taken to detect and track the BM. Now thats what the Radar does. The AXO system is not just the interceptor but the radar components...

Drevin

I have info saying the intercept was @ 50km elevation. Can the gurus confirm if the interception was in the ionosphere?

Drevin

The interceptor had two stages

And is unlike the BM. So make your conclusions.

Drevin

kutcher,..,.. why r u generalizing my opinions and concluding that I am against India being battle-ready andhaving credible second-strike capacity??!! Contrary all I am trying to convey boss , ... is that a military dictatorship in our neighborhood justifies more expenditure. Your frustations about ...

Drevin

My point is "justification for arms expenditure" by India. And that is relevant.

Drevin

I agree with you Rye that they were also predators. All I wanted to say is that "It is justified to purchase arms" i.e build up arms when ur neighbor is not stable ..... I was trying to justify Indian arms expenditure .... so long as their leader is not democratically elected .... Musharaf...

Drevin

As long as the stability of Pakistan is at question India will have to spend heavily on arms purchases. That is exactly what you see now. Having a military dictator as a stabilizing factor just shows how weak Pakistan's democracy really is ..... Pakistan == its army which is really sad. Civilians do...

Drevin

Hi Johann ... summarizing what you just said .... It is impossible for any country to guarantee that India won't strike back against her attacker. The NFU policy amplifies that belief. The repercussions of nuclear conflict are so enormous its not worth considering a nuclear war.

Drevin

Vijay relax. NFU is a good thing. Its a rational process to make sure our integrity is clear in case of war. You are basically afraid the US will twist it around against us by arming pakistan with conventional superiority .... Just relax. NFU is a good thing man. :) Let them get erieye/falcons ... w...

Drevin

Nice narration. Just curious if 100 feet is good enuf? Probably the radar ground can reach down to 50ft ??
