Something wrong with the way Maths is taught there. Navantia built submarines that were 100 tons overweight and had buoyancy issue.

Good sense seems to have dawned on higher ups.
IMO even if it carries a single Harpoon(519 kg) or Exocet (780 kg)
in its centerline, it will be useful.

1) Additional double digit Rafales are coming for the IAF. To all forum members (who support indigenisation), please do not get despondent over this. It is the only logical conclusion to this saga. . If the order size crosses 100 (26 + 90), most likely we might have local assembly. DassAult would b...

Nothing. This wont go into space. Its a crew abort test at a altitude of 15 km.

Incredible how Kaveri even with sub optimal thrust levels plays a role in influencing major players to set up factories here.
Expecting Safran to put a similar offer if Rafale is selected.

It works both ways.Thanks to pakis, we too would have captured Amraam's emissions and made use of it.
The US package is for deep upgrade of f16 only. Do not think
Amraam D would be available for them.

Finally we have our own MANPAD. Ideally should have been realised as part of IGMDP being so basic and necessary. At 20 kg seems to be on heavier side. Looks like it will exist along with Igla for now. I could be wrong, seeker seems to be old school type and not IIR.

arvin

Agree with assembly and feul part.
Maybe it will replace hydrazine in some other launch vehicle.

arvin

Interesting concept. If the third stage of SSLV is equipped with this and become throttable, will it eliminate the need for having hydrazine based velocity trimming module (VTM) as a fourth stage.

Looks like Polaris MRZR.

Only 10 nos of sea gaurdians (approx $1 billion) for Navy can be justified since it will save air frame life of other assets and they have a wide area under surveillance.

Eliminating the turbo prop engine will also bring down the thermal signature. Getting a lock might be difficult due to lack of IR emissions. Purely electric powered aircraft might be suitable for light attack role where defence is only guns and MANPADS.
