Kid, you need to go back to primary school to re-learn the basic courtesy. I feel sorry for your parents. You just learned no good thing from them.

Well, you put on an article, pass on some information to others. Certainly I can question the credibility of this article. This is what the forum is about. If you don't like it or have nothing to support your article, you can choose to ignore. In terms of "Chinese had officially showed interest...

It is impossible for Chinese to be interested in LCA: 1. This kind of light fighter jet doesn't fit PLAAF's usage, for example, the range is not enough; 2. Around 1991, the first full size half metal model already finished, but the whole project was halted due to the engine issue until 1994 that...

8 LCAs, no matter loaded with what, won't scare anyone. They may successfully sink a PLAN boat, but they can't handle the PLAN fighter jets flying in later. That is the exact same reason no Philippine jet showing up when those Chinese marine policy boats in the EEZ claimed by Philippine, even...

Italy is not the one leading in composite material, Japan and US are. Not sure how did India push her composite material ahead of US.

Does anyone wonder how come LCA has such high percentage composite material? Considering F-35 which started development way behind LCA, you have to ask: are Indian scientists are super good on structure design, or India's composite material technologies are decades ahead of US?

Really? Guaranteed by who? India's role in the eyes of US politicians is not decided by what you or me believe, but India's strength (economic and military). India had been the list of US enemies since cold war, that is why Pakistan had been one of top receivers of US economic/military aid...

Jaguar was designed during cold war targeting those soviet armor column and their logistic system in Eastern European countries. Considering the size of European countries and the number of the airports and other infrastructure, a small ferry range is not a problem for it. But in a potential war...

Their public data of PL-15E's maxi range is 145km. To some extent, that proves Americans' estimation of PL-15's range: 200km.

Airbus has too much US technologies integrated, you can buy more airbus planes but you simply can't ban boeing completely. Otherwise the Americans will let you know who is the boss. Forget them, they are decades behind. That depends what is the reason. If it is based on quality issue like...

Not that simple. The jet engine is one of the most complex machine in the world. Engine design, materials are only a small part of the it. Processing techs, tools, assistant chemical, electronic equipment, test machines, etc, etc, are all important. The whole supply chain covers almost every...

It is supplier's job to check customer's capability and propose the maintenance plan (either by local team or supplier). The related cost should be added into the price. That is one of the reasons that western weapons are far more expensive than Russian or Chinese. It is the opposite: British...

Is there any official source to support that?

3 questions about Tejas Mk2: a. How many has produced since 2015? b. If Mk1A was procured at the price over 40M, how can MK2 be lower? Tejas Mk1A: At $75 million per unit, How does it fare against the competition – Indian Defence Research Wing (idrw.org) LCA-MK1A to cost ₹306 crore...

Whose projection? The only projection that Chinese ever made publicly was in 1990s: GDP per capita would reach $10000 USD in 2050. When ever did USSR become world No.1 trader? When ever was USSR enjoying No.1 trade surplus? USSR was never built to be part of world trading system, you are...

No, how you use plane depends on what the plane is designed for. A modern farrari technically better than any truck built in last 80s or 90s. But when you consider a motor vehicle to do transporting work, you will definitely choose the latter at any time.

Because you will need to re-structure the whole factory building, install whole new set of tools/cranes, training the staffs who used to build howitzers with new skills, also you will need to build an airport besides it. The problem is that is far more expensive than building a new factory and...

1. 3D printers: it is very new technology, still in the process of implementing. For the fighter jet, as the components are required to work in various extreme environment, there are too many factors to consider, so only few component suppliers are using this, most of them are still using...

Ok, ok, you are right. HAL and India are the most advanced players on this planet, you guys just don't need to go through the whole transformation stage from prototype version to mass production version, which is a must stage for every country in development of every plane.

That is the issue, can you please provide the source that IAF is insisting adding in new requirement in Tejas MK1 even after FOC was given. Not that simple, not just because there is an allowance was given, every supplier can produce their own part within their acceptable deviation range...
