It's not meant to be an air-superiority fighter, it's a multi/swing-role fighter. It will only replace likes of Mirage-2000 & MiG-29. F414 is only an interim option, but with the new engine, it should be capable of supercruising + increased electrical output. The replacement of MKI would have...

Don't know yet, things will become clearer with time. PSMC isn't so much into design (they do some designs, but that's not their focus) - they are a fab, they take designs from customers & just build the chips. Once the fab is in place, they'll be building chips designed by any number of...

Sorry, haven't been following. HAL rarely sticks to timelines anyway - when it happens, we'll know. :p

Vikrant was always meant to have MFSTAR. The only radar that's intended to fill the shoes of something like MFSTAR is the LRMFR - and that system would only arrive for the NGD & further.

Here they are: India's first four astronaut candidates for the Gaganyaan program!

We've already sold various types of ammo via UK as an intermediary, so I doubt we are fundamentally opposed to it. I guess it'll come down to whether the price is right.

They've got the MACS accessory interface system as well - a clip-on rail that ensures no holes are drilled into the helmet's shell (which would otherwise slightly compromise it's integrity around those spots).

Sure hope so - the ARAD being a short-stroke piston would make a neat replacement for the direct-impingement Colt M4A1s and especially the older TAR-21s. Place of origin shouldn't matter when it comes to equipping SOFs - they should get the best there is, period. If Russian FSB & SSO have no...
