Mk2 is a different plane. With canards. Though it will have influences from Tejas.

The KaI offered it to whom? To KAF? They might have offered during development phase, but once an product is developed its set in stone. Tejas was designed initially with Kaveri Engine at its core. Since the engine got delayed the dev team had to proceed with the GE 404 variants. And it took...

A fighter is designed around an engine. It's not really an plug and play with different engine types. If one wants with different engine, then there is whole lot of development involved. From inlets design, engine related hardware changes to FCS software.

It's actually an misconception that other airlines have "young" hostesses 😂 but Air India air hostesses are sometime rude. Had faced it twice. Hope they work out the attitude. I understand they are under pressure. So are we for various reasons.

Will be air India for sure. Infact I expect Air Asia India and Vistara to be absorbed into the bigger air India family. But I don't know how long it will take them to make a profit. Last aircrafts were bought in 2004-2008 circa and they were never renovated. Renovation needs to be done. In...

The thing is investment of this scale takes time. Taiwan will more likely want more than acceptance protection for its big investment.

5 spies were caught. I think that's delaying the user flight trials.

I wont celebrate till it's confirmed......

Can be updated after some testing with real prototype models. Since it's only an trainer and not an full fledged fighter as of now, it seems alright. Later if they want to integrate drop tanks, and based on design, they can increase MTOW. Last for Tejas, they have officially increased payload...

That's just it. A rumor. There will be no new ICBM programme, except continuing in Agni Series. Next is 6000km MIRV version A6 and K5 SLBM. From hereforth range wise, our BM programme will be very slow.

I think potential buy wishers are quite getting ahead of themselves. Even US has aircrafts which have been 'retired' before their service life. But they are not sold. Kept in reserve for sometime like 4-5 years before completely scrapped off. UK with its historic low defence budget, I don't...

I think they will kept in reserve. UK DoD still hasn't spoke about selling them.

Good we are getting some support ships. Hope we can get a move on Mine counter vessels, submarine rescue vessel (2 ordered I guess), and mini subs for special force ops.

Though great work by him, but actually getting sick of these works on twitter. It's like jinxing the project. Let the baby come out first and then do all kinda graphics.

Will just respond to my part. While India not having enough blue collar job wrt to education quality might be true to an extent, it's not the dominant factor. Just 2-3 years back, in the middle of the trade war (US and China) I saw my company transfer manufacturing from China to Vietnam. The...

Exactly. It's overtly aggressive. They can reduce induction timeline if they want to be strictly a trainer. In that case, weapon integrations or drop tanks can take a back seat. I have my reservation on the timeline as well. But willing to wait. We will know by end of this year if a prototype...

The other member has not abused any member here. If some feel they are adding "no value comment" then no one needs to respond. Ignore and move on.

You need to cool down. It's fine. It's Turkeys product. It's no problem being optimistic. If you are feeling they are unrealistic, then wait for a few months. We will see. No need to argue too much unnecessarily

Many members are taking genuine questions like criticisms and as if a difference in fighter development can be seen from projects in Europe, US or even India. Testing an manned fighter is an exhaustive ball game. Let's say you have 1000 parameters to check. You have successfully tested 999. And...

I am not sure on that count. Automobile processors have to be qualified. Basic ones simply can't be used if I am right. Cos it needs to pass some amount of thermal and vibration tests. I had a chance to work once on a comm device to be mounted on a UAV, and the main motherboard PCB actually...
