We got a NFAK fan here @Saiyan0321 :cool:

Hehe, money for nothing is extremely non-politically correct song now.... :P

Indonesia involvement+commitment in this project has lately seen some turbulence....let us see what finalises on it more steadily long term. Also as far as I am aware, Indonesia needs something for this decade ASAP to meet its requirements it set for itself in capability....KF-X will take quite...

Its kind of interesting he ran against Jokowi a few times and is in his cabinet now anyway lol (that too as something as important as defence minister). This kind of thing is pretty unthinkable in lot of countries.

Yes it would afford Indonesia a great economy of scale...and very scaleable, diverse and reliable weapons package. Offset quality also makes most sense when you get in number from one supplier. This is why all the recent announcements have sorely confused me. Indonesia ideally would just...

Uh oh @Deliorman is here ....:D <--his favourite emoji

Yes 240 degree system on say 10 emb platforms (or even full strength squadron) could have been done by now....honestly 240 is perfectly fine along with the range of NETRA for the role IAF needed just underneath phalcon (given indigenous and can punch out in numbers)....you can evolve operational...

Netra program continues. It is tier 2 (240 degree coverage max range 250 - 300km) compared to tier 1 phalcon (360 degree coverage ,max range 400 km) I believe DRDO wants to standardize on a C-295 platform for both NETRA and the under-development 360 coverage AWACS.

We can get back to metallica appreciation now like we were doing earlier hehe (y)

China was frankly really dumb to engage like this. So much is now spoiled irreparably for very long time...and India will ramp up its guard intensely with more steely determination compared to before. That too in an area far from PLA's peak or average warfighting potential (using more lower...
