    Another paper design from Russia. Where is the investment?? So many design are out there from mig41 to lmfs and now this hypersonic design . Meanwhile they have produced just 2 su57 and ordered just 76.

    Su30 itself has more than 9000 kg internal fuel and much less powerful engines than su57. Su30 matched that range and more. There is talk of wetpoints and drop tanks for su30mki in upgrade to exceed range even further.

    Again ranting without facts. No operational Russian fighter jets have an aesa. Su30 upgrade that Russia did and is offering India has no aesa because it is simply not ready. India also have a whole lot of aesa ground radars operating . And even more programs in development than what you could...

    True to your form. You didn't read any point and just ranted. Where is an operational Russian aesa?? Why doesn't Russian su30 upgrade consists of an aesa if aesa is ready?? When did I say India made better radars I said Russia hasn't operationalized any aesa while India caught up to aesa...

    This seems desperate. Myanmar doesn't have money for something as expensive as su57.

    Su30mki has Indian mission computer. India won't rely on Russian mission computer no matter what it buys now. India also had own rwr in su30 with Israeli lightening pod you know why ? Because they were better than anything Russia could offer. What makes you think twenty years later india is...

    Regarding Pakistan getting stealth jet! The most costly aspect of Stealth jet is not development but maintenance of jet. Ram coatings fall apart. Composite airframe with Sawtooth connection requires extensive care and overhaul. Not to mention the maintenance of an stealth engine ( which china...

    Why don't you then trust the professionals of IAF when they say j20 is visible on su30 MKI radar. Is it because iaf doesn't know about stealth ? Similarly why don't you believe that rafale is leagues ahead of j20 when IAF believes it is enough to deal with j20. Chinese have a huge...

    Wrong su35 were brought after j20 was already designed. They bought su35 because j20 is way too premature. You are talking like kejriwal . How are chinese making advance plane when j20 is immature. J20 doesn't have adequate engine . Chinese themselves admit it. And in Avionics and sensors...

    When did I say su30 is best? You are the one insisting j20 is a threat so please explain what are the actual tech in j20?

    What technology is there in j20 that is proven?? It's engine are inadequate and not stealth. It's aesa is useless and it's sensors which are heart and soul of Stealth are all decades behind western or even Russian tech. Just answer one question why did Chinese buy su35 when they have j20 ?

    Su30 deal was done in 1990s . It has Indian mission computer but Russian radar ( bars) hence Russia objection to foreign bvr but Indian missile are fine. Su57 deal now India will demand Indian Uttam aesa ( if not available for initial batch then surely for following batches ) once radar and...

    If india ever bought su57 it will become su57mki . The only thing common with other su57 will be frame and engine everything else will be changed from Russian to Indian and western. Su57 MKI will have . Indian aesa radar . Indian mission computer . Indian aesa based ew suite with sensor fusion...

    I don't think we directly paid to Russia. We might have funded laboratories in both Russia and India ( mostly in India) to work on various components of fgfa program. So I guess most of the money would have been spent in India anyway which will help in amca project as same labs will deliver...

    I'm not arguing for su57 after 2040. More like by 2025 as a hedge for amca program. It may also be true that IAF decided to hedge with rafale and go AMCA will be the only stealth bird. I'm doubtful about 114 rafale as mwf has also ascended to medium weight category. Even if contract for 114...

    Are Bhai. If fgfa continued they'd issue RFI when the bird was to be mature for induction. It was joint project not a rafale like procurement. Same for amca no need for RFI until the bird is ready it's a home production. Sent from my C103 using Tapatalk
