Could have developed this model on Su30 seeing as we developed the primary architecture. But not sure about Russian reservations on them. Tejas range with 2 drop tanks are pretty big. I believe it's 2000km +. And you still have 5 pylons with 2 drop tanks. Even if 3 ASPJ are carried on 3, I...

I think Kashmir stappled visas was resolved long back in 2011-12 itself. China wants to bleed India through Pakistan.

Seems a Growler version of Tejas is on the cards.

On ground it's relatively peaceful. If there is atmosphere of poison with 200m Muslims there would be issues everyday. Killings and rape everyday. There is respect on the ground. This is not to say tension or friction do not exists. It does and will be there but will be managed. However the...

Japan and Korea do have strong navy compared to India. Probably due to their threat perception. But Royal Navy is on their way down.

Idrw links should be banned. It's one of the most untrustworthy websites ever. They even take comment from Defence forum and post it as sources.

Next is PH Army.

Not exactly. Whatever be the system for the Nuclear role, it will be an individual system designed and manufactured in India. It may be just integrated with mission computer for limited diagnostics. Moreover some Mirages and Jags are with SFC. Mirages will be returned to normal operational...

They don't have a permanent base. They fly over for a few weeks. Hopefully infra is build for P8I in that base too.

So 10 in Arakkonam base and 8 in Goa. Are they thinking to base anything in Andamans? The original requirements was 24 I guess.

Read another article. Forgot the link. The navy is looking for trainer versions too. Rafale M do not have twin seat trainers. The French Navy uses AF version to train Naval pilots. That would put the Rafale at an disadvantage. While F18 has both versions, not to mention an Growler version...

Getting scientists from Ukraine and Russia during early years of 90's really helped China's defence industry. We could not do it due to our economy's near bankruptcy and having to protect our country's precious foreign exchange. But Russian engineers were dime a dozen even in early 2000s. We...

And what have I said contradicted yours? I haven't talked about TFX here at all. I said a trainer variant would be inducted in 4 years and you agree with me. What's there to differ? I differ with some people a fighter variant of Hurjet is time away. Is it so hard to read English? Wind...

I would be genuinely happy if Turkey can produce an "fighter" variant in 4 years and not an trainer. Then it means something to learn from Turkey to all world nations including India, US, Russia, China on how to design a design, prototype, test and induct an "fighter" in 4 years. My comment...

I have really no idea on what you mean sir. F16 is an LM bird. Turkey probably developed some subsystems for F16 so it would be easy for TAI you mean?

I have to prove what? And Turkey is embargoed for what? From getting F35. Not from getting components to make its fighter or systems or lab facilities. Isnt BAE an design consultant for TAI? It's definitely not wrong in this globalised world and I hope India had this opportunity to work with...

I am not sure if you had understood the gist of the my posts or not. Infact I agree with you on most of the points. I believe Turkey would be able to deliver an trainer version of Hurjet by 2026. I am not even talking about TFX. What I differ and still stand by my point is a fighter version of...

You are already buying most of the stuff from outside. Engine, Lab consultancy, design consultancy, test facilities, avionics and what we do not know. I am definitely not comparing Turkeys programme with India. India had her challenges. We were not in NATO and we have had to develop every...

I studied in a college in ECR, and many students came in Kalpakkam. We had no issues bringing guests in for Symposium. Most of the time it would be from IGCAR. Being a def bluff myself, I would try to understand what they explain. Sometimes they would come with slides to explain to us kids what...

I will believe it when I see it. Developing an fighter, especially 4th gen fighter is no easy feat for the first time. There are a lots of learning, re-learning, mistakes and corrections. And Turkey hasn't designed a fighter jet from scratch before.
