We've been offered every latest version of US 4th gen fighters from growlers to super-hornets with the most lucrative deal coming from LM in regards to the F-16 Blk-70/72. I wouldn't be surprised if we're offered the F-35 down the lane but IAF has streamlined it's acquisition process in recent...

I can't put in specific details out here but interned in two PSUs...not D-PSUs though.

If you ever worked or interned in a PSU, you wouldn't be saying that since you'd know that's just not possible. These PSU sloths have god complex. No wonder they're protesting against privatization since they'd end up working their arse off or their incompetency would be exposed...no more...

ORCA doesn't exist. It's just some unofficial render by HAL If you see the recent ADA interview series by Ananth Krishnan, LCA-Mk1/Mk-1A, MWF and TEDBF have a lot of commonality not just in design but sub-systems as well which is why they're expecting to reduce the development time. AMCA is...

IN wanted something with a really long range and endurance which is exactly why they didn't go for N-LCA. IN was given the option of TEDBF (which is more like a larger twin engine variant of the MWF) which could be inducted in 10 years or wait for an N-AMCA in 15+ years. They ended up going...

Hyderabad based VEM technologies is building a full size model of AMCA's finalized design. As mentioned...

The initial versions will definitely use F-414. Though our Kaveri engine project was stalled due to technical difficulties, recent reports show that it is likely to be revived with French assistance. You never know how relations with the US may turn out, particularly given our S-400 deal which...

In addition to Nilgiri's post, the Indian Navy currently operates 45 Mig-29Ks, 26 of which are deployed on INS Vikramaditya at all times. IN currently has a requirement of 54 fighter jets, 40 of which will be operated from INS Vikrant which has recently completed basin trails. While the 3rd AC...

ADA program director in the above interview said some Hyderabad based company is building a full size model of the AMCA

MWF (Tejas Mk-2) is a direct derivative of the LCA. Regarding TEDBF, there will be commonality of sub-systems like electronics, avionics, EW suite, radar, OGS etc and will be using the same engine as MWF (GE's F-414). What will change is the size & structure since TEDBF has a much larger...
