Bhai, a bit premature to claim it....engine apart?

It is not very useful for India, there are sats now for recon.....and sams have come a long way. Good use for Russia...

not sure, mig 31 generates lot of power for its radar, not sure if mki can to drive r-37 like missile

yes, thats it....

there was some talk about k300 or something like that....but no real data

Brown Sepoys go to the back of line

mig 29 was one of the first unstable designs I think in mig series if not in all Russian planes

Most modern gen planes are aerodynamically not stable I think once the fly by wire took over?

F-16 is a beauty!! Very clean and minimal design from all sides.

But there are no options with China Russia getting closer and China's meteoric rise in tech....we simply don't have many options.

Ya, we gained nothing from TOT because if we did then we would have an engine by now from Russian TOTs and so on. All complex and fundamental things like metallurgy and so on are still not mastered on our side. Basic and deep maintenance is probably done by HAL but deep maintenance may have...

Not sure if its HAL related thing....I am thinking couple of things one being that LCA 1st version has root deficiencies and may not be prudent to order in large numbers and two being that we have difficulties in getting components from overseas and someone pressing their buttons to influence...

I think we understate our readiness to obfuscate things.....production means stuff is good enough in my opinion and delivery is just a process as that is dependant on basing and other logistics

Irish are not irish anymore in spirit, bunch of chumps that will jump at orders from EU. Minus England, they will become bitches in no time.....they produce nothing other than tax free heavens. I am talking about NI and Scotts in context vs independent one....but they are the same already.

Can it launch in that position or the sensors will be out of whack?

How is a cheap interceptor the criteria, doesn't it have to be capable? It is better to not have one vs having an incapable one...its just some bluster from leftists or female vultures in power. I would not read much into it... They would not consider Tejas

Yes, detectors/sensors are typically maintained lot cooler than ambient temperatures and it is hard to cool the jet engine just with air without carrying extra processing equipment.....it will just minimize somethings and possibly increase material life

I don't think it will influence to the extent where it can fool the IR detectors....flares are more effective in general

UK vs Argentina, then its no brainer that its UK for us...its better to partner with UK, Russia and French for us than anyone else in that order

I am sure there are lot of issues possibly minor in nature, better to go with slow deployment of first version...I think they are doing it the right way to test it as much as they can
