Netra Mk2 will feature 300° radar coverage, 240° coverage from the flat panel mounted on top and 60° from a nose mounted AESA radar

Tejas Mk1A is anyday leagues ahead of Mig-29 and Mirage 2000 in quite a few parameters.

Nothing more than that, LoL, during Op Gaganshakti 2018, the LCA Tejas Mk1 performed A2G missions better than even the SEPECAT Jaguar, a dedicated DPSA

Raffle LoL, these clowns need to be taught basic ABCD first

RD-33MK engines onboard the Mig-35 are not particularly reliable as we have seen with the Mig-29K.

Astra Mk1 is a BVR missile, will require a radar to detect and track the enemy so that the missile can be fired. Radars are power hungry, and I don't think that twin 180hp engines can power it, heck not even a 900hp engine would be able to power a radar. Only option that remains is a WVR missile...

For drones to counter other drones, it will need A2A missiles

Even if the money is spread out over multiple years, its still unfeasible. MRFA practically blocks out a bulk of the IAF's CAPEX to be spent on these gold plated licensed assembly while leaving programs like Tejas Mk2, Su30 upgrade, AEW&C, Tankers, etc. Just take a look at this tweet.

Show me where is the money. The cost for 126 barebones Rafale way back in 2013 was $13-14 billion in itself. Once you start adding rest of the things the price balloons to $20+ billion.

The production rate has been as low as 4 jets/year to all time high of 8 jets delivered to IAF in a span of just 4 months(SP27- SP35). Also, one has to take into consideration that although the order for 24 FOC(16 single seat + 8 trainers) std Tejas was placed in 2011, it was only in January...

Here you go, the poster is from DRDO itself, the 150km range has been advertised by Adani Aerospace. https://www.spansen.com/2022/02/for-its-project-650-anti-radiation-missile-drdo-india-inc.html?m=1

The difference that I could find between dual-thrust and dual-pulse is that in dual-thrust the fuel in the two sections are of different types(densities). The fuel in 2nd section usually burns at a slower rate, this is the sustain phase which comes after the boost phase which happens during...

Have these guys changed their minds on MRFA?

Can you elaborate more on this?

4 years away, 2 years development + 2 years trials

The Mig 29 airframe was refurbished during the 2012 upgrade to Mig 29 UPG, and it is said that the upgrade has added 15 additional years to its service life. Also, the aircraft is likely stripped to its airframe skin during repair and overhaul by BRD, so its likely if the airframe is not capable...

Just say "Don't Care", "Didn't Ask" and "Kindly F off"
