It call comes down to cost benefit analysis. Currently we use Heron for surveillance and the quantity sufficed our operational need. Money was needed for other platforms and systems Indian Navy have considered the MQ-4C Triton in a complementary role with P-8I maritime patrol aircraft hence we...

We have 2 main deals with Israeli Under Project Cheetah Heron drones will be armed IAI is working with Indian partners to manufacture UAV/UCAV in India

We have IAI Heron and IAI Eitan MALE UAVs. We plan to use MQ-9 in HALE role. Though we have failed to successfully achieve the requested (targeted) specification for TAPAS-BH-201 we shall continue developing the platform and eventually we will reach the target specification. At the same time...

FUFA and Ghatak are UCAVs.

The project is in conceptual stage. We are still identifying its perspective required specification.

Its to early to speculate but logical conclusion at this stage would be yes.

Better simulators are available for F-35 reducing the need for higher flight time per month. https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/products/f-35-lightning-ii-training-systems.html In India such simulators have been developed for Tejas and MKI reducing the need for higher flight time per month.

FUFA will start with a mix of 5th generation and 6th generation characteristics. and then will improve further.

AMCA Mk.1 will have a mix of 5th generation and 4th generation characteristics. AMCA Mk. 2 will have a mix of 5th generation and 6th generation characteristics. Aircraft development is a continual process. You develop technologies and modify/assimilate the developed technology in your aircraft...

As per he wind tunnel models AMCA Mk.1 is expected to have IRST. EOTS will be fielded in AMCA Mk. 2.

The software was developed by Boeing to allow the X-45N to land and takeoff autonomously on aircraft carriers has recently been installed on the first F/A-18F. Maybe the software is not adopted by Lockheed Martin. Automatic landing system was never part of original design specification.

Sinking starts when the air-pockets start filling with water (e.g. air-intake, turbine chamber, etc.) or their is enough structural damage that causes part of aircraft break up or aircraft starts to tilt.

Most aircraft will float in water. This is because wings of the aircraft will generate enough buoyant force and almost all planes are designed with center of gravity in the center of air-frame avoiding tilt. This happens only if aircraft fall horizontally flat along Z-Axis and their is not much...

Accidents are normal part of any aviation. Things get even more complicated during deck based operations of aircraft carrier. With the amount of sorties conducted by USN such accidents are matter of probability. We don't know if the jet was at fault here. IAF has more than enough fair share of...

The APG-77v1 was installed on F-22 Raptors can provide full air-to-ground functionality (high-resolution synthetic aperture radar mapping, ground moving target indication and track (GMTI/GMTT), automatic cueing and recognition and combat identification. In modern multi-role you don't find a...

Couple of years ago I had a interesting talk with an officer of air-defense regiment. He enlightened me its a cat and mouse game between fighters vs ground based SAM. You rightly pointed out that biggest danger to a fighter is from ground based SAM. What I was told interception of fighter is a...

Do you have a backing for your quote???

Hello Shit. Its Fu*king Beautiful!!!!
