Guys there is news that Russia & India have reached agreement for FGFFA Now the french are throwing in Rafale M to justify price cuts to india for their other overseas customers. Modi govt by leaking the news that they have arrived at FGFA agreement with russia is just putting Dassault in the...

Indiand R&D funding(yet to be cleared) was for indian specific FGFA version. There is no reason to expect russians wont sell their PAKFA design in export market. If EU lifts its arms embargo (as french are urging it to !!!) on china french will also sell their rafale and nuron to china.Do you...

cruise missiles are always meant to fly at tree top level to avoid detection. That is their sole design purpose. Then why should you expect it to fly above 300 feet? A cruise missile has no pilot in it and costs under 3 million dollars or so. So even it is intercepted we can try to strike the...

even more strange is IAF not insisting on such twin seat configurations for rafale their pet deep penetration striker on china. If strike fighters don't need twin seats now, will they need it a decade after?

Russia, India Complete Draft Project for Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft | idrw.org It seems the new govt is speeding up FGFA project which was stuck in a limbo for the past few years,

So are the most of the retired brass , a few agenda posters here and DDM folks , who leak tons of plated fake news supplied by foreign interests and arms lobbies on tejas and Arjun, Their veils to will be torn shortly as both platforms are entering service. Ajai shukla still has a lot of...

So all bad news about PAKFA is fake news, Any DDM news saying tejas is just a trainer is good news, authentic source based news!!! And Matsy farts in Vayu stratpost, like tejas is below the Mig-21 Bison level is even more authentic news!!!!!! A nice and simple way to separate fake news...

MMRCA folks want to end that surprise once for all.Spending 20 billion dollar on rafale and 20 billion dollars on FGFA back to back is just impossible. There are other serivces like Army and navy badly in need of money for much more essential programs.Couple of monsoon failures will really make...

The IDRW report mentions in a matter of fact way that "MOD has asked to revise the ralfale cost as costs have ballooned"!!! And then goes on to say the contract is ready to be signed. Can you think contract be signed without finalizing cost. This cost is the reason why rafale lost out all...

IAF vs HAL : Round 1 | idrw.org This is the difference between IAF and PLAF. PLAF is working with its home based manufacturers to perfect its sword arm, IAF is divoricng our home based manufacturers and basing its trusts on french and Russians!!!! Now for the sake of Swiss pliatus they are...

IAF has been asking for MMRCA from 1999? As late as 2004 they have only asked for 126 mirage-2000s after their good performance in kargil. Only the NDA govt modified it to MMRCA tender fearing corruption charges in a single vendor deal and which was later modified into MMRCA only after 2004...

But the recent news is somewhat different, this further confirms that like your info and expertise on Tejas , it is also an outdated piece of news,

AURA owes its existence to the strides made in the tejas programs like composite tech, fly by wire tech and control laws for RSS deltas

Considering Tejas is replacing Mig-21s,23s and 27s AMCA replacing Jaguars,(It may take atleast a fifteen years minimum for a full fledged AMCA induction , will jags fly till then?) FGFA replacing Mig-29 and Mirage-2000, what is rafale replacing?

Every aircaft has its plus and minus. PAKFA is entering service in Russian airforce by 2016, But right now IAF is all quite on PAKFA or FGFA, with a singular focus on spending all the 20 billions on rafale for deep strikes into tibet.They are showing no urgency on FGFA development...

I agree hundred percent on each and every point you raised, RAFALE is totally not needed now, but IAF hell bent on committing a huge amount of money on it, while Tejas mk-2 and super sukhois can easily do the job at a third of the MMRCA deal cost, In the case of FGFA , without first laying...

Pak-fa Will fall flat if IAF pulls out : Defence Analyst | idrw.org

The fit and finish has miles to go before it even reaches the level of any modern 4.5th gen fighter. With so much strengthening strips jutting out in all directions it is hardly stealth friendly in its fuselage underside. Even tejas LSP-7,8 has a way better finish than this. Whatever be the...

Gunning for the PAK-FA: What the IAF really wants | idrw.org So what I posted before was true. IAf is afraid that PAKFA will be less stealthier than both J-20 and J-31. Thats why they are accusing the russians of failing to give design info which will help them improve the stealth specs of FGFA.

F35 is like a jack of all trades compromise to have a common version produced in thousands to have a low cost stealth 5th gen plane,it was never about rivaling the stealth and air to air performance of F-22. That is why it is way inferior to f-22 in every dept. If the stealth solutions on...
