Well MBDA have claimed that mica ng would be a 100km range missile nd will carry more fuel due to miniaturisation of sensors nd seeker tech nd also due to a dual pulse motor.. Yeah u are right on NEZ... however my point was directed at IR mica ng being able to launch at long range with a...

I hope we can procure IR mica ng post 2025 for mwf nd mk1a.. IR mica ng with a dual pulse rocket nd a 100 km range would be perfect for a long range passive shot.. enemy won't even know what hit them unlike RF seeker missile. There's was a news about IR astra tho.. but nothing concrete for...

Srinagar af base will get MRSAM to protect it from any surprise attack nd will compliment spyder .. i guess we need to better AD of the Srinagar base as any attack in a future conflict will be most likely targeted at Srinagar Airforce base.. Most likely AD at Srinagar base will get a...

Again AWACS have active emissions... so any targeting data provided by awacs or any other source aircraft will alert the adversary.. Various aircrafts now have ew suite to snoop around hostile missile- aircraft datalink... Even upgraded mirages has antenna around front it's nose to detect...

LOAL datalink for ir missiles has to come from a source... Nd that source needs to be passive to be effective... With ir missile like mica ir, asraam being bvr... It can be guided by telemetry provided by host aircraft radar in LOAL mode.. However whenever the radar will be used to lock... It...

No..MAWS aren't envisaged for now.. how ever MWF will have it... We haven't perfected MAWS yet.. nd sporting an uncooked maws would do more harm than good... Because passive ir maws have to be extremely refined to have very low false alarm.. nd most maws don't cover full spectrum of aircraft...

One crash doesn't mean anything significant .. it has happened to best of aircrafts.. however it will certainly ground su57 until issues are identified... However there is one news of Algeria purchasing su57... & thus being first export customer of su57..

In feb only two mki's were flying against a large strike force of PAF.. & still they stood their ground even after multiple salvo of amraams launched against them... MKI problem was more to the old spec r77 missiles.. which now have been taken care of after recent purchase of long range R27...

Impossible? Not really.. & here's the reason for it.. IAF is really serious about AMCA... Thus AMCA mk1 will feature underpowered ge414 engine(98kn) to expedite the project.. & also it will enjoy benefits from lesson learned by tejas program.. however india is naive when it comes to stealth...

Lol i also suspect it... However it would be only in one scenario.. i.e if al bakis somehow gets hold of 5th gen aircrafts from China & if AMCA gets delayed...

That's for post 2030 era.. where u will need a dogfighter with advent of Chinese 5th gen aircrafts.. it's normal for long range shots when the fight is between a 5th gen & 4th gen aircrafts... however when a 5th gen goes against a 5th gen aircraft... Both won't be able to employ long range BVR...

Their's a competition.. however both aircrafts will be ordered at sufficient nos.. only competition is to secure first order in bulk.. this is needed & seems logical when one sees the track record of ADA/HAL where imperative programs are usually mired with delays & lack of accountability.. so...

Tejas mwf & AMCA both nodal design teams are under ADA & thus are competing against each other to secure mass order... Tejas mwf will go in production in 2027-28.. AMCA mk1 featuring GE414 engine will go hot at around 2028-30.. any delay in any of the project will give advantage to other...

One correction about AMCA.. amca mk1 which field ge414 engine.. & as stated by ADA will go into production in 2028-2030 which seems onerous task but that's wht ADA timeline suggests.. & thus after 2035 AMCA mk2 will go hot with an indigenous/foreign collaborated engine (result of MMRCA deal with...

Nope not true.. ADA has already confirmed.. MWF will not have TD or prototype aircraft.. instead first aircraft flown at around 2023 will be IOC version.. this is done to decrease aircraft development cycle to 6-7 yrs.. else if we go by book of aircraft development.. this means first TD...

Anything about integration of meteor with uttam aesa?? IAF was very enthusiastic about mating meteor to tejas.. if not for elbit radar which terminated the possibilities.

Does anyone has a bonafide comparison of elbit 2052 aesa & uttam aesa ranges & characteristics... & Also with inclusion of uttam aesa... Now will it be possible to mate meteor missiles with uttam aesa..?? as earlier mbda folks were reluctant to include meteor with Israeli radar.. however they...

Mk1A delivery to start by 2021?? Is this true.. ? This is too good to be true.. AFAIK... first delivery will happen after 3 yrs of signing the contract... am i missing something??
