There is a huge potential for AI related to defence. I will list some examples of use cases where AI can be used 1. ISR missions, where the captured SAR Map can be segmented into different regions of interest like hangars, oil dumps, existing deployment of enemy 2. Disaster relief = All soldiers doi...

No.18 Squadron 'Flying Bullets' will be next Tejas squadron

Only squadron in IAF to have received the PVC.

Primary roles, Air defence and ground attack.

^^ also the meteor love of IAF according to DDM, will be shared post Gripen. But IMO egos of babus at ADA/HAL/MoD will get hurt to a buy a similar plane which are they are building.

^^ so with Mk1A production by 2023 and Mk2/MWF PV by end of 2023. It will indeed be a miracle if MWF FOC happens by 2026 ( seems highly unlikely to me ) then simultaneous production of MWF and Mk1A post 2026 :?: :!: no updates on timelines of NLCA mk2. Ample time to master stealth for AMCA, a long r...

F21 also has a satcom antenna (round bulge) similar to F18 blockIII.

The front view of the plane shows that the fuselage has been widened along with air intake showing some inward curve. Compared to MWF, IRST is missing. And going by the specs. - length, width and wingarea also increased - g Limits are lower and max speed as well (1.6 vs 1.8 mach) - also MTOW reduced...

Singhaji, No idea picked it up from SM Interesting to have ex-IAF pursue such crazy pet projects. Having played the game and more connected to the different entities it would be easier to get things moving. As ramana-ji said, this has happened for many US weapons (some hints to the nanha?). <edited>...

^^ suryag saar, ADA has done a great job, which most of us keyboard warriors can't do. MWF would be great, given that we achieve the targets in time.

Rakesh, the Tejas cannot afford any major incident in public view, given the vested interests that will capitalize on it. Until the aircraft is in service in the hundreds and literally too big to fail and irreplaceable without breaking the bank, we should not give it to the Surya Kirans as neither ...

The R73 target was much smaller than real aircraft Size. I Would say it's still a hit. Saar, if small would have been the reason then it wouldn't be in the demonstration. Full dress rehearsal was done by them. It would have have worked then. It isn't a big thing imho. It was also posted on twitter ...

Apparently the NUH tender specifies a twin-engined bird. So LUH is automatically excluded.

Tears of joy over the complete papering over of our small arms industry? Going to the AK-103 and 7.62 will erase whatever legacy we had from the INSAS endeavor.

1. Air intakes start before the wing now. Starting of the inlet doesnt look like its moved. So it must be wing which is pushed back. 2. Looks like there is a strake ahead of the wing.
