The irony lol

India obsession

The NOTAM is for 750km while TASS also reported the development of P800 Oniks ER version previously in 2019. An year before, HT reported that an 800km Brahmos will be tested. Unsure if that took place but TASS did report last year that Russia & India are working on the development of 800km Brahmos

Any official source of the range?

6 seems feasible but 8 is hard to fit horizontally next to each other unless vertically stacked which will result in a bulkier undercarriage AMCA's IWB is shown in the below picture

8 internal is pretty big number. Even the J-20 being one of the largest 5th gen fighter can only accommodate 4 AAMs (PL series) in it's internal weapons bay with another 4 external hardpoints The length and wingspan of J-20 & TFX are identical though TFX is taller while J-20 has more wing...

Where will US's Iron Dome likely to deployed? Somewhere in the middle east I suppose

How many can fit in the internal weapons bay and how many external hardpoints?

I believe AMCA's prototyping has been delayed a bit due to the pandemic but parts production has been started for the prototypes. Unlike our other two programs (MWF & TEDBF) which incorporate a lot of technologies from the LCA project, AMCA uses a whole range of newer more advanced tech. Sensor...

They've sort of already given up cozying with pak after we threatened to reduce the palm oil trade. Matter of fact, we reduced it for a brief period and went to Indonesia instead who was more than willing to fulfill our requirements which is when Malaysian ministers and palm oil lobby requested...

India does have a 5th gen project termed AMCA (Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft) https://defencehub.live/threads/amca-program.413/ Additional, India can also offer the MWF (LCA Tejas Mk-2) which is a more capable enlarged version of the current version. It's current status is metal cutting for...

Another important aspect to be considered in this deal is Malaysia wants palm oil countertrade commitment and might make significant payments using palm oil "The technical features notwithstanding, what will tip the scale is the LCA that offers competitive features with cost-effective design...

It is I believe from 2017/18...last year HAL displayed a Tejas at Aero India 2021 which has been fitted with Uttam AESA (look closely at the blue display board in front) https://ifenewsnetwork.com/uttam-aesa-radar-fitted-tejas-fighter-jet-spotted-in-aero-india-2021/ This is from 2019...

The Mk-2 will have canards and a slightly larger airframe but essentially the same as Mk-1 and that's about the only difference when it comes to airframe. We've done years of flight testing on the Mk-1, developed technologies and sub-systems which will all be integrated onto Mk-2. Since we have...

India among few countries developing hypersonic missiles, US Congressional report says https://theprint.in/defence/india-among-few-countries-developing-hypersonic-missiles-us-congressional-report-says/754703/

As stated in my previous post, India has developed, integrated and tested the Uttam Mk-1 AESA radar on the LCA Tejas while Uttam Mk-2 is under development for MWF (LCA Mk-2) As for Israeli components, which primarily include radar and avionics...HAL/DRDO have already developed indigenous...

Here's the Uttam AESA already integrated and tested on the Tejas. I heard they're developing Uttam Mk-2 which would be smaller in size but increase in number of TRMs which'll go into MWF and TEDBF
