but long expected. too bad the flankers were too heavy for vik's lifts. though the new 29k's would give the vanilla su-33 a run for its money. But they're not getting vanilla Su-33s for the production variants..the production variants will be built to the Su-30MK2 standard, avionics wise, which mea...

While I would like to discredit the ENTIRE talk: [*]Su-30M newest fighter...... Version 5 airplanes ? last version of mki is phase 3. [*]Tumansky engines [*]No FOD screens on the std AL-31FP [*]same air show demonstration as the F-22 you know this. [*]Cope India Su-30K best pilots-Indians pounded t...

Issue is not 'well known practices' - Issue is - Are you sure the IAF did this? If so how? Or are you just making assumptions? if you can post, you can read and so go through whatver i have already written. after that you are free to make your own assumptions and decide the "issue". you w...

Vikram_S

yeah i dont mean to insult the usaf they are clearly the worlds most powerful AF BUT the uncessary aviation week articles trumpeting their loss at cope india really hurt the pride of some in the fighter community so its understandble that in front of home audience the pilot will try to make up for i...

Vikram_S

are u seriosu when u say this? "there is little reason to 'hide' operational characteristics of the plane's flight envelope." this is a key thing for all concern. you need to read up more on exercises. fighters have been sent to exercise in past with detuned engines to mask performance its...

1 more thing: The Koreans bought in their brand new F-15Ks. beautiful aircraft, with AESA radar and all. but they had less than 50 hours on it (this type and these were straight from the factory had zero hours on them) and they were still learning the aircraft. so it did not have any significant imp...

probably because it was in training mode.

thats what i was trying to say
training mode = no nctr, IFF probably shut off otherwise

one another thing, the most funny actually: so iaf rookies+ regulars go up against elite of usaf: red flag aggressors, handpicked from entire USAF and still do well - actually best amongst all 4 participants (see video with iaf officers back from red flag) but the usaf pilot is chest thumping becaus...

Vikram_S

The ONLY bit of concern is the comment about the TVC. TACDE will have to work on that. Rest, like fracticide, is specific to the red flag. If this is what they had to say at this context, we are doing great. So we are still using a stick for TVC on MKI! I thought it's all integrated with the FBW. I...

Vikram_S

You have to admit that you are making lots of assumptions on what the rookie pilot was told or felt. and the contrary may also apply. There may not have been any orders to 'hold back'. in every exercise till date iaf pilots have held back. so you be the judge who is making assumptions i am just say...

Vikram_S

you are not getting my point he sees the opponent, he wants to win (why not), but he holds back slightly initially (per order) and when he doesnt get the results still goes for the kill (or tries to) at which point he stalls (he is a newbie pilot per transcirpt). against someone who has many flight ...

Vikram_S

stall is indicative of at flight speed and angle of attack, when lift is not sufficent and wings no longer "bite" the air as terms go my point was that iaf pilot could have been instructed to "hold back" in str, ie you begin the turn after a marginal delay which will undershoot t...

Frankly I don't care, till DRDO gets the things working. thedre is no istaeli help for samho or sudarshan. both are local designs. sudarshan is still in tests and will take time to final. if you see bharatdynamics had mentioned sudarshanm project 2 years back only. from isreal for uav, we will buy ...

Vikram_S

I am a little disturbed about the whole lack of Datalink (HUD) thing. Was it because the Datalink was down on purpose (security measure) or is it that the MKI is not able to develop a complete picture from AWACs like other ACs? the mki has polyot datalink able to provide jamproof/eccm resistant com...

I think that lot of Israeli help is being kept quietLike the missile SAMHO or CLGM just fell out of the sky. SUNDARSHAN also looks a lot like Griffin-3.

there is only one Rustam. burt rutan design aircraft is testbed for mAle technologies. it will be demonstrated to the user and then the final rustom design will be made clear (using concurrent engineering, it is possible to incorporate change on final version in parallel). but the actual rustom (2x ...

URL is too scrwed up to post, but here is the entire article form above: Indian defense executives took the opportunity of a recent weapons exhibition in Moscow to once again raise the issue of a “successor” to the Indo-Russian Brahmos rocket-ramjet powered cruise missile. However, given the perform...

Looks my friend needs a Babur/Raad fired on his head..to believe that it was real when i was taking my car out yesterday, a bird dumped on it. next time it happens, i will immediately turned towards pak, and cursed it for babur'ing or raad'ing my windsheild wiper. thanks to you sontu, i am now awar...

:rotfl: anish, thanks: " guess Raa*d missile will most likely be used to arm the B-3 Bomber!" i just realised that pakistan named its new missile most correctly. it is a perfect representation of pakistan in every sense. what a difference one letter does make. PAF air chief: tumhare paas b...

Vikram_S

Anishns the raad is so stealthy, that almost no evidence of it being tested exists. the only evidence is poor resolution image of mirage 3 carrying super sophisticated RAAD and then animated gif of RAAD flying. super stealth stuff. it reminds me of a malayalam movie in which mammootty designs next g...

Vikram_S

Agree, about Babur ..that it is based on the Chineese one but Raad seems to be of latest design with stealth incorporated. 1> what is baburs stealth property? 2>what do u mean by latest design 3>this is not a baccha forum where u can make silly claims w/o evidence I am not saying that these are 100...

Vikram_S

babur/raad are mostly based on corresponding chinese designs that have been developed much earlier. even the dimensions are eerily similar. i severely doubt the pakistanis claims of range, and even guidance and even operationalization of RAAD. the pakistanis are obsessed about opening their pants a...

/quote] Hats off to you ..So you are saying since IAF has 250 KM range Prithvi, the do not a longer range ALCM..i.e Su-30's will fire Brahmos well within Indian airspace to cover 300 kms :-) no, i am saying since IAF already has kh-59, kh-31, crystal maze, prithvi and is going to arm UAVs, it can a...

Vikram_S

the point is the kind of nosnese written without any evidence: sontu wrote: The question is if PAK/CHINA can already complete the integration of a newly developed Babur/Raad cruise missiles (with ranges more than 700 KMs) in their F-16, JF-17 and Mirage -IIIs .Why it takes so much time for India to ...

Vikram_S

sontu edits to "operational longer range ALCM with IAF" from "ALCM with IAF"...wow. too good. so he reads about kh-59, crytal maze and then jumps happily and adds two words. and that makes everything A-lrite. for strike beyond fba (Forward battle area), iaf has already got prithv...

Vikram_S

China has inducted nuclear submarines which are so noisy that they have never made a patrol. Reportedly sailors have received lethal doses of radiation from the reactors. is there a link? btw, chinese way that is the correct way. in fact, iaf should induct brahmos rite now with sontu approval, and ...

Yes dear Vikram ..if Everybody in India had to think ..the way you think..then we will be waiting till 2015 or more till Sukhoi gives us Green Signal to have an operational ALCM with IAF i can only salaam @ ur mastery about the topic. do u even understand how a fighter is designed? every pylon is s...

Vikram_S

first learn the basics before writing BS. you asked for an answer and u got it. instead of understanding what it meant, you respond with more whines. the brahmos is not a toy that u can put on an airframe because "sontu of brf" wants. the iaf are not fools to go and put a missile on an air...

Vikram_S

pls read the previous reports. the brahmos group is waiting for the sukhoi corp to validate the carriage of ~2-3 ton brahmos by su-30 mki, and then confirm that with IAF. this is no easy task but will require months of dedicated modelling (for flow separation & other cfd stuff) plus actual trial...

testing is also a very detailed activity. in this test i bet iaf tested rvvae to see if it met requirements with drdo help. (itr is drdo facility). big thing is all this is getting done in india now, and we dont pay manufacturer million $ to do it for us.

they routinely do. trick is not to get caught. when they got caught they had to stop working with china. but till then they enjoyed selling previous gen technology to china for much $. technology hungry china was ok with even that. they had python4, but they sold python3 license to china.
