Here's the link ramanaji http://164.100.47.193/lsscommittee/Publ ... ts_114.pdf

It took some time for me as well to search for the report.

Summary of the PAC report A total amount of 10397.11 crore (FE 3800.01crore) was sanctioned for the three FSED phases of LCA programme , against which, ADA had incurred a cumulative expenditure of 8294.39 crore (FE 2768.18 crore) in October 2014. Rest on Kaveri and Mayavi. Point against decision mak...

... The radar range given by the VCAS is just a numeric example. The actual number is friggin awesome . Another thing I heard is that the Daggers are burning up Coimbatore sky logging sorties like a jackrabbit boning in spring. All those whining of "difficult to maintain onlee" is gone an...

Yf23 wing design is completely different from above pictures. What am I missing?

Stealing / reverse engg may look unethical but there is no courts of justice to punish such deeds. Rather I would say it is a quick way to leapfrog but the sustainability is still a question.

Ugly Duckling, Swan or a hunt bird in hand? The JF 17- an open source assessment - Prof. Prodyut Das One of the unknown in the comments among them is from yours truly. :lol: Afaik this is verbatim copy pasting of his vayu article. Why are skeletons of the past being retrieved? Waste of time to teac...

Gaurav, I would take AM Nambiar, a serving IAF Mirage 2000 vereran who is the VCAS, and his evaluation of the LCA today anyday over the recollections of an individual who is still caught up in agency politics of decades past. With all due respect to this veteran, he is almost completely mistaken ab...

On the G ratings mentioned above,I think it's more of an acceleration figure, like 8G/-2G, than the weight of the bird as such.

Ah, my ignorance in domain knowledge is evident from my question. But I am just a

Thanks Bala vignesh ji

Microsat is a special. A similar named satellite was sent last year too. TOI reports that it can capture images in night using far IR spectrum. Good to see the progress in that front and a successor is being sent hopefully. The question was evaded by sivan sir that it was for DRDO in the press conf...

Flight test updates from ADA http://i67.tinypic.com/kckvpf.png http://i63.tinypic.com/xfnqmg.png Good to see the full force with which things are being worked out. It seems that they are busy with BVR integration Other updates from lurking around - on tejas fb page, it was stated that tejas won't se...

First, admit this. You have no idea what the Chinese are faking and what they aren't. At best you can speculate. Second, export contracts dont mean diddly squat. India got an "export contract" for the Vickers MBT in the 70's. Ask any IA guy of the era what they thought of this world-class...

I am with Kengsley, Khalsa and K_Rohit ji as well. PLAN ships being inducted in service is not propaganda. We despise the 17Blunder but it has won export contracts. PLAN 052D construction is at huge immense rate. They aren't faking the induction. They may be incapable/conceeding some FOC standards i...

Won't the dual rack pylon be considered a first for the Tejas? No lungi dances?

The lucidity of info + usage of graphs in the presentation is amazing. Even a complete noob like me could comprehend the facts and understand the problems solved by CLAW. All it requires is the political will and patience. Gurus have made ISRO et all a success today, same can be done for the LCA. Ju...

SJha posted this great news. https://twitter.com/SJha1618/status/1080408813918801920 ADA says NP-1 & NP-2 LCA-Navy demonstrators are heading towards carrier trials from a ski-jump (STOBAR) carrier, which in our case is the INS Vikramaditya. Take-off with full-fuel and two R-73 AAMs has been demo...

for a non-technical person like me, this looks nothing short of sorcery. enjoy!

The fit and finish on the Tejas looks really good. Can someone tell which specific SP we are seeing in those pics? I wasn’t able to decipher the SP-X or XX number below the cockpit. It seems like a two digit number and it was on HAL facility. So I am guessing it is SP-11. It is SP10. It is clear in...

Aiming To Be First AI Unicorn From India To begin with, an agent-based Real AI Processor (RAP) invented by this software engineer , who chose to follow his heart by coming back to India after his higher studies, has created a new benchmark in AI applications. This is not celebrated as of today beca...

Yeah. But for 2nd to be a "collateral" damage, the first one has to be an intended damage. But both are accidental damages. Might be translation error. I just copy pasted the headline from the site. :lol: Collateral meaning from Hoogle baba says "additional but subordinate; secondary...

As per the article, there was another F16 near the one that caught fire. Also in the previous image on the left bottom side, it seems like the radome of the other damaged F16.

Belgian Air Force F-16 destroyed by fire during maintenance – Collateral damage on second F-16 ...a technician was working on an F-16 when he accidentally activated the six-barrels 20mm Vulcan M61A-1 cannon of that F-16. The cannon was loaded and some bullets hit another F-16AM (FA-128). That aircr...
