I often take a somewhat devil's advocate absolutist position just to see if someone will produce a reply like this :love: You are very correct it ultimately boils down to confidence and maturity developed of the platform w.r.t the physical capacities (shipyards and funding). India is lacking...

What was your name on PDF out of interest @Smoke ?

Fair enough. I also have earlier stated that I wish the LCA was mk2 size to begin with...the original Tejas (mk1) is a little too small IMO. But these were all requirements driven from the IAF. They are more or less satisfied with the results and the ecosystem to be had in the 4th and 4.5 gen...

The mk1A comes equipped with the AESA Uttam radar and the arsenal at disposal will be the same as mk 2. So its not question of "not meeting IAF needs" (as these are very much driven qualitatively by the radar and weapon arsenal) though mk2 will certainly augment range/payload on the tejas...

Will have. Right now the ASBM platform(s) are supposedly being developed via the Agni-P program.

tbh, I couldn't care much. I liked the Sachin era of cricket I grew up with and I remember the best moments fondly. Test Cricket is also the highest form that counts the most for me, ODI is just equivalent of rapid chess (rather than long time control chess where the true art occurs mostly). I...

CBC just aired this regd the SMR assasin case w.r.t Canada @Afif

Basically we have confirmation now that LUPEX is separate mission to CY-4 (which will be done later). LUPEX will be a joint mission with JAXA it seems (which is pretty much the best country India can cooperate with space if you look at what JAXA has developed in unique ways which they are very...
