The F/A-18 ADVANCED SUPER HORNET Enclosed Weapons pod? I like the idea.

Not a hogwash.It is based on realistic data and attrition figures. IAF will have to conduct a lot of CAS and interdiction missions and these missions generally have really have high attrition rates(over 7%,for reference 3% is acceptable,5% is modestly high). If you ever get a chance then read a...

A stealthy airframe on a carrier may not be a good idea. It will be very expensive to maintain on a carrier which doesnt have all the ground based hangar facilities.It will not have good payload,This is a downer because launching and recovering aircrafts from a carrier is very important and if...

This Twin engine fighter as of now is purely Navy project for their carriers. Navy needs some 150+ jet fighters in the long run.

At this point forget more Rafale and get more Tejas mk1a for the time being 10 squadrons of Tejas mk1a will do more good than 2 more squadrons of rafale.

For an outsider who hasn't followed the program for long,he did a better than most indian defende journos. It was more of an overview. ___________________________________________

I think it should be more. At this air frame LIFE pilots will use it up in about 10 years or so. Generally air force pilots fly for about 180-200 hours per year and generally there are 2 pilots per aircraft so 4000 hours is too low. _______________________________ I believe it to be in the...

**THANK YOU** Finally somebody said it. Think logically people IN is never going to have dozen of supercarriers that justifies having a dedicated twin engine fighter project.TEDBF/ORCA will cost easily over 5 BILLION USD for procurement and development and all.That money is better utilised...

300 of Tejas would be enough if it is mk1a.MK2 MWF is a different story,much greater range and payload.It can be our f-16. Plus I sincerely believe there should be more than 500 Tejas in the air force simply because if we need a 45 squadron force,which we obviously need in next 10-15 years,then...

All of that for 50 mill a pop. Thats a steal. Indian air force should order this jet in triple digits. _________________________________________ For 200 or so jets(taking an arbitrary number) it will cost us less than rafale deal.

Maybe because of small number of jets ordered. _________________________ Once economies of scale kick in the prices will plummet.

Given HAL's record and Air forces'constant nagging and MoD's bakchodi.I would say 2024. __________________________________________ This is the most realistic timeframe,we also need to account the budget crunch and the lack of cooperation between these institutions.

Most of the CAS today can be accomplished with rockets. ____________________________________________________________

We only have 22+6 apaches. We still need numbers in air force.Tejas can perform and has performed air to ground missions fine.

Increase the order from 80 aircrafts to more than 150. With mig-27s gone mig-21s retiring we need something cheap and IMMEDIATELY. ___________________________________

Fucking majestic. Didnt know SP-21 was stealth very low observable. ___________________________

Nah. Now that Felon/Frazor crashed i dont think it will even secure any foreign client. ____________________________________________________________________________________
