Very interesting Q&A He did not want to talk about seeker tech for Land Attack Version. when asked he said Long Range >5000KM possible for both supersonic and Hypersonic version Su-30 MKI to carry only one Brahmon in Central pylone. . The most significant from the AeroIndia2011 so far was th el...

Hari sir ... The Shakti engine is optimized for high altitudes. I heard Dhruv hovered with 600 kgs at 6km ! If a different engine is selected, will it be able to meet the high altitude requirements?

HELINA, K.S.Varaprasad, DRDL, DRDO Rakall: thanks so much for the detailed write-up. Was there any talk of man-portable Nag or any of the other variants like the one with a mmw seeker? Also you mentioned in your post about the indigenous seeker. Do we know what stage of development is it in? IIRC, ...

Rustom wing span seems much larger, will it soar even higher

IIRC there was a satcom terminal on top of Rustom fullscale model when it was shown AeroIndia2009 -- why has it disappeared?

Seedo sahab, Please upload the LCA video. To answer your question about IAF pilots doing the cobra: A cobra maneuver is not good for the fatigue life of the plane. IAF fields operational planes at air shows, and obviously doesn't need to market Su-30s. Hence it doesn't show the Cobra. . Just a smal...

That 45 minutes, if true, must be for full internal fuel only. With drop tanks it should be more. May not even be full internal fuel.

A basic query: If already 1000 Akash missiles therefore approx. 20 existing squadrons (if 48 missiles per squadron).
