Lmao. The engineers are admitting that the cooling system is taking much power than what it was designed for. For any engineering system it's a massive facepalm movement . But this platform now is not focused on technical aspects. Engineers are not posting here anymore it seems. Technical...

I'm quit happy in my world thank you 😂

https://www.twz.com/f-35-engine-running-too-hot-due-to-under-speccing-upgrade-now-vital They are still discovering issues with jet. It's still not mature enough. Sortie rate is too low for a frontline flighter and they are falling despite more jets being added . Lots of f35 of initial batches...

I'm just saying what us airforce has officially stated. You can take it as you wish. Regarding j20 if the Chinese are confident of it and we have no answer to it I'm pretty sure Chinese will take over arunachal in few years. Let's see if that actually happens.

Let me tell you something. F35 still doesn't have FOC which means it's not ready for combat operations according to us airforce. Despite massive production f35 is still a work in progress and not a mature fighter jet. Now you can imagine how ready in j20. The world of defence hardware moves...

Porkies put more emphasis on awacs than us because they were trained by American tactics while we inclined more on Soviet tactics hence we are investing more heavily in Sam systems. We entered late into awacs game but now we are going full speed. Btw as Ukraine has shown modern battlefield...

Porkies were looking very smart when the bought Chinese zdk awacs. And now they have to retire those very early because they turned out to be useless junk . Porkies are not looking very smart now are they??

The key to survive Indian defence forums is learn to take small wins as and when they come. Those who wish for all things to happen at once are bound to be disappointed in the end. Many turn cynical. 😂

Indian population pyramid is much more stable then china. India will face issue with ageing population but what china is facing is multiple times worst.

😂 They have pushed China beyond the edge of collapse. With you fertility rate down the gutter and population already declining. The only industry China needs is geriatric care industry for all the old people left dying. 😂

AMCA metal cutting has given a jolt to foreign lobbyists. Once AMCA prototype flies it's the end of Indian imports and beginning of Indian exports. Loss of billions and billions for foreign lobbys.

Don't read too much in few images . If they are released to media they may be very old by now.

While r&d issues are pertinent for AMCA mk2 . For AMCA mk1 engine issue is sorted for now with off the shelf f414. If new engine is delayed for AMCA mk2 we may continue with more AMCA mk1 . There is also a path for f414 epe engine with 116 kn thrust which india might have to find of Safran...

So metal cutting for AMCA has started finally. Which means a roll out by 2024 is imminent and we might see induction by 2030. All these tech improvements like single bulkhead , larger press machine etc might come with AMCA mk2 program which will have larger production run and far bigger...

That will need funding to the tune of billions. Only after that EPE will be ready.

What stands out is that a major chunk of 4 billion dollars development funding will go to engine development. This is very good news.

For AMCA mk1 we may go for dual Channel cooling solution to suppress IR like Rafale . Mk2 will definitely have new engine with much less IR signature with new components.

AMCA even in mk1 phase is leagues ahead of kfx . As kfx mk1 has no internal bays . Besides india is far ahead in development of radar , avionics and even air to air missiles etc. The base we build for lca is far more robust compared to what minimum work South Korean did for fa-50. All that hard...

If mtow is just 25 tons and AMCA mk1 will have 2 f414 with 10ton each so 20 ton thrust. That's a pretty good TWR. In stealth configuration mtow is just 20 tons and TWR then is Superb 1. About supercruise from Wikipedia The two Snecma M88s that power the Dassault Rafale enables the Rafale...

Block 4 or newer ?? Will have to check . Iirc they don't.
