Pakistan is developing a predator like UAV/UCAV called Burraq that is more or less based upon Selex Falco UAV & Pegasus HALE UAV.

Not sure how Israel indirectly gets linked to it...

Avinandan

>>One UCAV looks like Boeing X-45C=Phantom Ray or perhaps French Neuron It doesnt have any resemblance to Phantom Ray or neuron. It has a unique nose which resembles like SR-71 black bird and again a unique wing configuration different from Phantam, neuron or polecat. Thats why referred as "Un...

now that a new centerline pylon on Su30 is being developed and stressed for a 4-5t brahmos-A, we have an opportunity here to make a devastating cluster bomb weapon. imagine a giant weapon as long as brahmos, but fills up that recess completely and square in cross section. should be a wind corrected...

I have observed this once last year as well, but this time I have seem almost 4-5 times.
The Sukhois low level sorties in and around Pune seems to have with their landing gear down (not retracted). Any ideas

Avinandan

I have a small nitpick

Why the rear landing gear is so long ?
Almost all the modern attack helis have just a wheel at the end of its tail.

I have a few queries about the Bubble Canopy :-- 1. It exposes the whole HUD when open, so outside dust and heat could damage that, please correct if I am wrong. 2. How expensive is the Bubble canopy w.r.t to the regular one ? 3. Does the refactive index of the materical used could play with the pil...

I was out in Saturday evening at about 5:00 PM and saw 4 Su-30 MKIs doing low level practice sorties at low speeds. One engine of the 3rd Sukhoi was smoking like hell, I mean worse than a RD33

. Does that mean the engine is due for complete overhaul ?

Avinandan

Vivek Saar, Where are you ??

ksmahesh I agree. Due to MaadarCh**D politcians of this nation we are heading toward becoming another slave country. We still have slave mentality, psychologically we are not free, how can this nation be free from Slave Mentality when their own PM says, Brithish Raj was good for India meaning, Indi...

And now I am not sure if MKI does a rear ward facing radar or not. This link says it has :-- http://www.aviastar.org/air/russia/su-30.php Su-30MKI: Version for India in four configurations, sometimes referred to as Su-30MKI, MKII, MKIII and MKIV. The first eight were delivered in March 1997 to basic...

Avinandan

Who said MKI has a rear facing radar? I didn't say MKI... :wink: . The Su-30M can be equipped with a Phazotron N010 Zhuk-27 radar or a NIIP N011M BARS pulse Doppler phased array radar. The Su-30MKI is fitted with the N011M, which can track up to 15 targets simultaneously. The sensors include a rear...

“So even if there is a manoeuvre by the enemy missile in the last 500 milliseconds

500 milliseconds means .5 seconds, that doesn't seem much though.
That means that if the RV does some evasive maneuvers much earlier, then the interceptor missile is most likely to miss it.

Avinandan

Although no body knows enough of the FGFA, but just wondering if there would it have any rear facing RADAR just like the Su-30 does ?

Avinandan

Nope, my place is quite far from the Lohegaon air base to approach for landing. Infact I am staying in the area for about 4 years, and have seen Su30 numerous times. This is the first time I have seen like this, the odd part is all the 4 of them had their handing gears on, i guess they were training...

Avinandan

Today at about 8:45 am, I saw 4 Su flying very low with their undercarriage on, this is the first time I have seen them doing so. Are there any specific reasons for this ?

Thanks,

Most of the major air forces have the option of using quick /rapid setting concrete to repair damaged runways and helipads. IIRC, DRDO had successfully created special Quick setting concrete which could repair damaged runways in 12 hours or so. I guess that PAF would also be having such concrete to ...

I've mentioned before about Pilatus' turboprop PC-21,which is so good that it can simulate advanced aircraft like the F-18,etc.It can, according to several reports in aviation mags,replace an AJT and can be used as a one-stop trainer for almost any aircraft.The cost factor makes it even more attrac...

Were these Pilots in active service in IAF ? I believe the test pilots would be ex-service men.

ZBDs have 100mm gun whereas BMP-II have 30mm Cannon. Then why only tracers were fired from ZBDs.

Will it replace the Prithvi or Agni I or will it put along side these missiles ?

True, but this would be cheap, and by the way why do think that this is a piece of crap. It may be copied but may be a good aircraft.

Looks awesome, infact China can make a cheap fighter plane out of it.

If at all N-option is to be used then we will have to wipe out their entire military installations and forward positions along with N-facilities,and I am afraid this all will come at a price. :evil: Ideal option would be a series of electromagnetic attack.

I am not able to understand why at all India is looking for PAC - 3. There is enough evidence that Arrow(both 1 and 2 versions) and Antey 2500 are much more better than the Patriot. Moreover India already has small number of S- 300 as well as Green Pine Radar(which could be readily be employed with ...
