Lovely I will take a 1000 thank you...what an epic piece of art!

andy B

^^^ fancy picture boss. Now I know why the IAF wants it and why it costs so much. but still at 126 million $, while F 18 is 60 million, Su 30, 60 mil $ and LCA Tejas is 30 mil$....too much! 400% agreed saar was putting the pic up as its a new weapons config with the meteor under the central fuselag...

Thanks for the link NRao....the link says they are going to have flying demos of the emb145 aew&c...???

I didnt realise we had enough to fly demos nice indeed!

andy B

Well done ISRO Well done indeed! There will be many a people in the G5 community today who will have an uneasy feeling at the success of this launch. It will take many more successful launches before that feeling turns into a throbbing pain but it has started! Yesterdays loyal customer has taken the...

Andy, lets catch up as a BRF Annexe meeting in Melbourne after I am back. .

Brilliant sir ji bliss to send me a note @ anand-83 at hawtma dawt com and we can go from there

andy B

Surya, lovely to hear from you. You coming for this one? You know you want to. Come on. The beer has always been very good and since your last visit Oz. has had an explosion of boutique breweries. The regular "tharra" (VB, XXXX) is always available to cater for finer tastes, never fear. S...

andy B

Indranil boss is there a el-op pod under the port side fuel tank of the ICG Dornier?

andy B

^^^ Sir Ji IIRC most of these uber tanks including Arjun

would have APU's that would support the silent operations no batteries.

andy B

And Speed. It brings a much faster time to transit to its mission area which is/was a big problem with the turboprop MPAs. With a surveillance target to prosecute the time elapsed from the last known datum is a killer variable that throws the search equation for a loop. Just to be clear I left the ...

andy B

Can it be used as a bomb truck? If you see from the video it drops Quickstrike training mines from its wing pylons, and those are very similar to the Mk.82 Snakeeyes . But to be a bomb truck similar to a dedicated bomber would require some mods to the internal weapons bay etc. and that is certainly...

andy B

Nice video the aircraft look spanking shiny with good build quality. Do they plan to integrate Brahmos or Klub with P-8I ? Saar I sincerely doubt that that the airframe will be able to handle the sheer weight of brahmos without extensive mods and also it will limit other payload options big time. I...

andy B

But anyway you look at it, it's a beast, and ours has a MAD unlike the USN one which has created quite a lot of heartburn in their P8A community any links for that info thanks in advance Hain Ji joo are supposed to be on top of these sort of things no? :mrgreen: http://idp.justthe80.com/naval-proje...

andy B

Is any one a subscriber to AFM , the latest issue has write up on IAF Jaguar Upgrade Program http://www.airforcesmonthly.com/view_issue.asp?ID=4848 If any one indeed has this article can scan up and post it here ? Thanks Not to worry sir ji will get it and post along with the live fire report bliss...

andy B

the Su35 has more similarity to the Su27 than the Su30 family. it does the feature the canards because Rus moved away from that to a more advanced FCS. GD IIRC the fcs was one factor but the big reason was the weight of bars compared to irbis. They put canards as a way to compensate for the heavy M...

andy B

andy, thanks for the PDF. And what's up with the "ji"? Sorry bhava tend to get into this formal mode at work :roll: P.S did find another interesting link abt the evolution of Aesa and Pesa. Be mindful that this has some reference from our infamous raptor fan from down under! http://www.mi...

andy B

That 26 bombs video got me thinking as well. The MKI may be matched in a-to-a by the Mig-29s perhaps, but it really has no peer in the IAF when it comes to the bomb-truck role. We refer to the Jaguar as our foremost Deep Penetration Strike Aircraft, but a flight of jaguars just doesn't hold a candl...

andy B

given that this thing is expected to go upto Mach 5 a high mounted shoulder wing typle is interesting choice no? also the vertical tail looks quite big relative to its body size yes? any specific reasons for these...? It is supposed to fly upto 0.5 Mach. The vertical and horizontal stabilizers are ...

Question to aero injuneering gurus...can someone please comment on the wing arrangement of the Heat drone....given that this thing is expected to go upto Mach 5 a high mounted shoulder wing typle is interesting choice no? also the vertical tail looks quite big relative to its body size yes? any spec...

andy B

On the bright side, we got a newer and nicer AWACS chapati carrier 8) Sir you may have a point there the 476 should fit in nicely with the existing 76-90 airframes as the will share the PS90s. Having said that though I would think the same could be true for the 330s as well if IAF brings em in as T...

andy B

Thanks...a bit of context, if it doesn't bore you.. Navy approached LRDE for making a lightweight naval radar with ISAR tech, plus all A2A and A2S modes required. LRDE first made SV-2000, thats supervision-2000, had it clear trials, and went onto the next XV-2004 which features ISAR (you can litera...

andy B

Now next in the series of dumb questions, the russians had the capability to fire submerged missiles for a long time, so what went wrong with the bulava project, wiki dada quotes the dir as saying that the failures in the first phase were all due to QC issues, find it hard to believe Suryag ji plea...

andy B

K Mehta ji, in that case, why did the article use the words 'present' and 'gift'? I guess a contract was signed to assure them of the timeline and did not involve any cost negotiations. If there indeed was such a transaction, the article would have said that HAL is ready to 'deliver' the aircraft. ...

andy B

I think the front section looks very similar to the AN70.

andy B

The only target of the PAF F-16s is the IAF. You know it and the whole world knows it. While latest upgrades undeniably improve A2A ability, they also include critical A2G capability, namely it added adverse weather delivery for JDAM and the improved radar works better in Ground Moving Target Indic...

andy B

I hope there is apt response and it becomes known to all. Not a hearsay that we took revenge from uncorroborated sources . (I do recall Bangladeshis killing BSF men and their bodies being brought back on bamboo poles. Did anything happen after that?) Yes there was. IIRC IAF basically went into BD a...

andy B

but JSTARS looked cooler and deadlier one has to admit, the airborne battle manager role has a cool next-gen ring to it. http://www.spyflight.co.uk/jstars.htm the current JSTARS seems to have a radar about the Astor size only, albeit perhaps more onboard power can be fed into it and more on board c...

^^^^ I am not sure if these are exact replacements for the Gulfstreams, however their role seems to be a little different as the Gulfstreams were undertaking spooky peekaboo missions with raw.

andy B

Airbus more than likely. The Gulfstream is a subset of the larger Phalcon. Also recall that there was a mysterious IAF Gulfstream (bought from a person who could no longer afford it?) that made a stop in Israel a few months ago. Saar I believe it was a bombardier g5000 onlee. Last months and Nov's ...

Aha Shaurya Rohit and I have been crying for that. we are still a truck mobile army :( now if we can get you to throw away your Siachen thoughts - we have some hope for you :) Aiyyooo...not this topic please...I might just tear me cloths off and go insane.... :evil: :cry: :x Joo know how they say a...

andy B

^^^^ one word Vulcano baby!

andy B

^^^ yes yes I know saar but AWACS is the coaches and Refuellers are the water boys

and physios

I was more picturing the offence, defence and midfield line AoA

andy B

patience brother. it will in some form be our JASSM eventually but for now the more low hanging fruit of GLCM and SLCM takes precedence. x2 GD.
