What? no french fries (or freedom fries to please to another idiotic american president) on it? A pure scandal !!! :lol:

As Meteor is a 50% UK share, it is probably also built in UK. I'm not sure. MBDA France always built MICA, Exocet, MISTRAL, SCALP and SCALP naval.

It's not a reason not to try to produce it on the indian soil.

I thought that Meteor will never be given to fit a non west fighter (including Tejas, with its israeli radar), so no production in India. The ASRAAM case is easier, as it is a short range missile so less sensible. The problem is that ASRAAM is fiited with a US Infra red seeker (the same than...

In my mind it was about Meteor. A short range missile? good idea. I see a problem : ASRAAM is fitted with a US seeker, no? or maybe it is the occasion to developp a new one. But as always with India, wait to see if it goes to a happy end.

is it a fully indian design ?

No western pilot is afraid of a foe doing a Cobra. He expect it ! So as to sent you a WVR missile on a wonderfully non movable target, or depending of the situation, sending it a half second burst of bullets. Nothing to add, nothing to complain.

Not really. Mig29 (at least early model) is only able to reach 7G. Su27 familly is another beast, but heavier (it helps).

Absolutely useles. You are a nice non movable target in the sky : easy to shoot even with inboard canon. It's just to show the mastery of the FBW but russia. Rafale was able to fly up to 100° AoA, and negative speed (slowdown descent by the rear) but never implemented in the fighters on line...

How many US soldiers in Afghanistan? far too few. In Vietnam it was not a US-Vietnam war, but a US-USSR war. Remember how the US lead coalition (but Mainly US) beat Saddam 2nd biggest of the world army...

Afghanistan, Vietnam : it's only a lack of political support that reduces the effectiveness of the military operations. Same with USSR in Afganistan. To win you need technology and soldiers on the ground. SInce WW2 everyone is reluctant to send troops on the ground, because it's difficult to...

F35 engine uses foreign components only to fulfill offsets. The know how is 100% US. You forget France : Atar engines, M53, M88 are all fully french studied and made. The know how is 100% french. The RR case is special : the last jet engine fully english is Spey. quite old. But as they are...

probably the best short range missile in the west world. With ASRAAM (and Python 5) you have the best in short range. With Meteor the best in medium++ range.

Why? I hope you will be fully able to study and produce a fighter. For now the road remain long. Single crystal blades : OK, but what generation? The first or the latest?
