Yes. More or less a 1:1 replacement of Bison with the new order (still to be confirmed, but should be this year I think). During the 80s/90s, the total squadrons in the IAF was around 40 (the peak it ever had), around half of these would be interceptor role that Mig 21 filled (i.e around 300 -...

Its definitely unprecedented in this being the first country of this size (several times US population) that the US is electing to progress things substantially with. More so given the backdrop of the relations previously (cold war, inertia of that into the 90s and 2000s added to by US...

Both engines have the same potential when it comes to electric generation onboard....as Radoninsider illustrated (its a small % in the end to run the generator and distribution etc even with more powerful radar etc). The F110 has lately benefitted from its selection for the F-15 EX and the...

They prefer to go separate ways, which is fair enough as the issue was always what the 3rd party IP transfer was going to involve (say from STM) since neither had that and there was really not much point for both to be involved together in unwieldy way....as Vedanta isnt even electronics company...

I agree overall. Overall the expedience of bird in the hand worth 2 in the bush is hopefully kept in mind by IN (given the SSK numbers dropping well behind the original plan 20+ years ago)....given I dont see cost benefit and the time involved being good w.r.t say S-80 w.r.t larger tonnage it...
