Re: Chinese Armed Forces: News & Discussion Thread
That's why they're also building upgraded versions of the J-10. Single engined and a big enough airframe do a lot. F-16'ish analogue.

Re: Tejas Mk.1 & Mk.1A: News & Discussions: 04 January 2021
The Mk1A contract was fine. Except it took the MoD, IAF and HAL multiple years to come to a consensus. That is the real issue here. If we do the same circus for the Mk2, nobody can help us.

Guys, we have our own ranges to pitch these fighters against each other and figure out what stands where. Pretty sure IAF knows whats what about the MKI & Rafale by now.

Re: Su-30MKI: News and Discussion - 24 July 2021
Studies have already been done on what the MKI can field. In terms of power availability, space, weight, thermal limits etc. As for weapons integration, KaranM knows that stuff better than most in the open domain. So i'll ask him to shed some light if he can.

Re: Su-30MKI: News and Discussion - 24 July 2021
Getting an Indian radar on the MKI is the plan. Would be interesting to see if the Russian side resists this. One would think that any IAF/MOD funded AESA work will have huge financial implications for them given the Flanker installed base. So it is in their interest to push a Russian AESA to the M...
