Russians had mastered FOBS long ago nothing they do in space should come as a surprise. "Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay of Anandmath/Bande Mataram fame in his work 'Kapalkundala' wrote 'tumi adham - tai boliya ami uttam na hoibo keno' meaning if others are bad nothing stops us from being good. &q...

Indranil, as you have called Negi, BR's ertswhile scourge and most dangerous wrecker of rules and regulations, sir. He has fallen off his crate and spilled his beer, and I regret to inform you that you now owe him one. :mrgreen: This is not true , will speak to you offline. Thing is MWF is great th...

Thread has served its purpose ; time to close it ? Otherwise kindly bring Nukkad back

negi

I personally have high regards for HAL however we cannot ignore fundamental fact that eventually we are going to have to focus on efficiency , running a ship where deadlines will have to be met and slip ups will have repercussions , the private industry by it's very nature fits such a requirement . ...

negi

^ Doing hard work is not bad that's what good organisations do , HAL can keep producing for the IAF it has to meet IAF orders first. It can also wean itself gradually from the grunt work and climb up the value chain i.e. be involved in fighter development much earlier and spend resources and time th...

negi

Actually if Tejas does end up winning it makes perfect sense to have someone from private industry run the assembly for Tejas E (export) , HAL should remain focussed on task at hand ; sorry to say but this is simply too much distraction if HAL is serious about delivering on the plethora of projects ...

negi

Indranil I am not saying I believe that mk1’s thrust is less , I am saying that it has come out in too many forums from a lot of people there is a merit in that criticism . My point was simple if one builds a second iteration of a product it is sensible to address the core concern other bells and wh...

negi

negi there is no engine available with higher thrust. We would have to move into the F100/AL-31 class and that would basically mean designing a whole new aircraft because there is no way to build a slightly larger LCA Mk2 with an AL-31 sized engine. There are engines there but that is not for you o...

negi

Karan I am not arguing on whether Mk1's thrust is enough or not (it's not for me to have a say on that ) ; what I am arguing on is a fundamental fact i.e. a product has been classified as lacking in area 'x' it is but imperative that if we have anyways decided to make 'x2' it better address that cri...

negi

Karan on MWF my views are based on single point which is it's not the suite or systems that have come under criticism on the Mk1 for major ones are yet to even be operationalised ; the only repeated criticism in public domain is it lacking thrust . Now if you look at MWF specs even the max take off ...

negi

Rakesh you have your views I have mine

as for theory yours is as good as mine .

negi

On the contrary AM Masand is bang on with his point ; we have known TSP to always draw the first blood and despite that if we come up with a flimsy excuse like , oh we had only x deployed in Srinagar or we were outnumbered yet we did so well despite having a much larger air force it only points to t...

negi

I don't think static displays are high fidelity representation of final thing anything worse than Tejas Mk1 and the thing will go into the dustbin.

negi

I personally don't understand MWF much if IAF has specified a mission profile for this fighter then it would be easier to talk in those terms else it is at most a Tejas MK X because you cannot get a lot done by just moving from GE F 404 to GE F 414 specially when current platform has been criticised...

negi

My theory is that F-16 has some design elements which make it easier imo to have the pilot higher up on the spine , the intake bulge and canopy are diametrically opposite to each other the weight distribution is easier to manage , even the newer Gripen doesn't have as well placed canopy as the 16 sp...

negi

Even before we saw them coming Unkil would have seen and detected them mobilising the F-16s , selling your own wares gives one some distinct advantage and leverage . AM Masand's point about we not mobilising in enough numbers is something which I subscribe to as well but that's perhaps not palatable...

Hero honda themselves have invested about 100 cr into Ather ; ex Flipkart types have also invested into Ather , also some of the leadership comes from Fkart.

negi

My friends work at Ather they are good , their manufacturing is in Chennai, R&D here at Bangalore . The initial launch price might be a bit steep for tier 2 town dwellers but they are doing well in terms of installing the charging infra in Bangalore. As for Chinese content no one can build anyth...

negi

^ It will take yugas to reach this sort of thinking for our forces like to follow and go by 'traditions' any thought that questions status-quo is not welcomed . For instance if one is able to build a missile in scud (I use it as an example for even bhikari countries can field it) class i.e. cheap , ...

negi

It is not that simple R-77 has evolved over the time and Chinese would always be curious to lay their hands on actual sample that served with the IAF to see and compare. The data link for instance can be different .

negi

On a side note I believe BVR engagements in Himalayan region is going to be tricky for an AC in theory can easily break the lock should it dive low and then fly low and slow between the ridges , nothing fancy like they show in the movies but a measured move easier to pull off when you know the bogey...

Well the poodle might have by now passed on the wreckage to the yellow master for close inspection.

Software is easier ; DSP filters for guidance are pretty fundamental and known nothing earth shattering happened there in last 10 years ; in fact what has happened is there is now much more compute power available on a small real estate today so it's even easier than before . The real deal is to get...

negi

Chipanda now has all the money and they have all the underhand tactics , today they may fail but eventually they will master both the engine tech as well as field a true 5th gen. fighter , we cannot count on them failing .

negi

Heh things really did go full circle eh , there was a time when I said the same thing to you

, waise ao kabhi haveli pe .

negi

My speculation is it's all related if someone builds a system that is supposed to prevent AC from going into a stall then it is highly likely they don't do so by just controlling pitch but even airspeed among other variables . May be pilot pulled up soon after takeoff and system tried to inject spee...

My reading of Indian pschye tells me we go to exercises with our best trying to prove a point whereas Massa and others simply turn up , soak up a lot of data , give a pat on the back to the SDRE and go back home to do their homework .

There is a famous adage in the product development world you ain't improving nothing unless you have shipped the damn thing and it has actually seen some real action out in the field; until that you can do n number of iterations in the lab and it will still be a science project. IN Admiral's article...

Finally a complete AC ; never liked tail-less designs .

negi

Well I would be more than happy to be wrong on this however since there is no official confirmation on our end I would stick to my theory for now .

negi

Well my comment was in context of the possibility that if we only took out a bandar or say mirage then it would sort of validate my theory that Pakis had always planned this to lure our AC into their airspace and were never serious about conducting any air strike in the first place , they want to pr...

negi

MEA only said we shot down their AC it did not categorically identify the type to be a f-16 . Any ways hope the Bisons are replaced by Tejas asap .
