    Importantly, thats not the type (the type that just goes on and off) of RWR the russians use. Russian RWR looks like this Western ones are more "advanced" in the sense that they process the data and give an estimate, the Russian one gives raw data. The yellow thing going around is signal...

    Fair enough. Though MANPADS present much less of a threat to fixed wing fighters.

    You are confusing DC MAWS with MAWS. EVen if we assume they dont have dedicated MAWS, they still have a backup MAWS. Russian RWR has a dual role as a MAWS, you can tell the direction, altitude, attitude, and signal strength of incoming missile.

    Hmmm. Does seem overweight compared to something like AGM 88. Both have similar max range and warhead, but HARM seems to be half the weight.

    Correct me if Im wrong, but isnt Heron TP a better drone than Predator for ground attack? More payload, more endurance, etc.... And we were converting our existing Heron TP to armed variant. Maybe we could be ordering those instead of predator, due to lack of ToT of predator.

    What? TFX is supposed to fly for the first time in 2027-28, 4 years behind ours. How are they going to outpace us? TFX also started much later, with much less experience in design.... This doesnt make sense

    While it is the wrong thread, I'll answer it as best I can. Procurement- marginal improvement in speed. Large improvement in indigenous systems. Defence strategy- Medium increase in offensive posture, revived threat of Indian invasion of Pakistan as response to subconventional warfare...
