    It's not just composites where the Indians have managed to pull ahead of the Russians. The mission computer is another area, a very key area where we have managed to make a name for ourselves. The performance of the mssion computer goes a long way in determining the pweformance of the AESA/PESA...

    JF-17 Thunder / FC-1 Xiaolong

    The entire capability of the JF-17 is based on the future. None of the 'killer' capabilities touted by the PAK fanboys as its claim to superiority are current. Every single of these capabilities "will be inducted in the future". And this pretty much includes everything expected in a modern...

    Atleast think before posting, it certainly wont hurt you much. Btw you only end up embaressing yourself with every post. The JFT might have least RCS in PAF (I seriously doubt that wrt the F-16 C/D block 52), but that does not mean it compares to the LCA in RCS. And in any case RCS values are...

    Actually, you very rarely, if ever, will want to fire a BVR missile at max range. The reason is very straightforward and has nothing to do with the superiority of the missile or the aircraft. All BVRs are guided to the target by radars onboard the fighter/AWACS until the...

    Lets leave out the insults directed against the nation to our west. They aren't worth the effort of hurling abuses to. Anyways, the decision by PAF to rely on the JF-17 as the backbone of their AF makes one point astonishingly clear. The PAF does not expect themeselves to be fighting an...

    The SU3BM is undoubtedly a better aircraft in so far as RCS is concerned, but the avionics of the super SU30mki and the 35BM would be fairly closely matched. The lack of access to western avionics will indeed hurt the BM, and with the IAF willing to spend over $100 million a pop for the mki...

    Ok, then how come the chinese who designed the material of the missile skin did not get a nobel prize in chemistry? It would take nothing short of a revolution in material science to allow a hypersonic missile to be manuevrable in whole flight while flying through the dense atmosphere. As for...
