I came to live with this fact when the first announcement came that the contract was delayed. :( After all that workshare and cost hassle. We should have signed this agreement last year. Here's to hoping for a signature at the end of the year. Putin's coming to India this December. Even with...

Shukla has lost a lot of credibility among people who follow defense news. Anything from him that has to do with Arjun/T-90 or FGFA/F-35 needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.

There won't be anything of the sort. It is not easy to jack up prices in a JV. It is a 50-50 JV. If they jack up prices, it means even they have to spend an equal amount. And we have auditors who watch these things. Secondly, the project is defined as a strategic project. You will rarely...

Another example of fake news.

Then how do you explain our numbers and equipment? PPP does the trick. A well paid software engineer gets 600-800 Pounds a month. PPP. Equivalent to earning 3000 Pounds in the UK. Anyway, our capital expenditure this year is $15 Billion. Out of this at least 30-40% is known to be spent in the...

Indian jugaad. :p (Indian innovation) Using PPP, the budget is over $100 Billion. The importance of PPP.

Some correction here. AMCA will replace Jaguars. FGFA will replace Mig-29 and Mirage-2000, followed by the oldest Flankers, which are undergoing MLUs today.

What's interesting is MoD has not yet put a cap on number of unmanned aircraft that we can have, unlike manned fighters which have a max of 42 squadrons. Today the IUSAV is quite modest, it is still quite small, the size of LCA and has similar range as the LCA. We may see a Mk2 or Mk3 version...

I was being general. I don't particularly worry about one individual source.

The ones that I have listed have a lot of service life left in them, even the Jaguars. 37 of them were newly built and are just a few years old. More teeth for jaguar: Nearly 120 of the Indian Air Force jets are being modernised | Mail Online The Jaguars are supposed to get a new engine by...

We will just have 3 or 4 prototypes of 5th gen by 2020. Most of our forces will be 4th and 4.5th gen. Mig-29 = 63 Jaguar = 125 Mirage-2000 = 49+2 MKI = 270 Rafale/LCA = at least two to three squadrons. Possibly some remaining Mig-21s and Mig-27s that make up 13 squadrons today. Just use an...

The T-50 RCS figure mentioned by you and the one compared with for the F-22 are different. The T-50's figure is the average of RCS figures from all sides. The F-22's figure is only from the front. Rafale is required for the same reason why UK needs the F-35 when Typhoon is already present...

Actually this was well reported in the media. The cause was also ascertained and they said the aircraft will be back in testing after repairs. They explained in some details about what happened before and after too, like the pilot jumping off and running for his life, though nothing happened...

They are offering full ToT and 50% ownership.

No, it's misinformation. PAKFA Stage 2 and FGFA will be very similar in configuration.

But take it with a pinch of salt. Until it is officially revealed, it is speculation at best.

PAKFA specs people. Поставки перспективного авиационного комплекса фронтовой авиации в ВВС для начала опытной эксплуатации начнутся с 2016 года-—-ОРУЖИЕ РРThe weapons bays are...

Ground tests of two prototypes are being carried out. Interesting information.

New stealth fighter prototype delivered to Russian Air Force - Brahmand.com

New radar with 360 deg capability. This is the only thing that we know for sure. There will be other major changes as well since we have to develop the source codes again. Which means new bus system, new computers etc. We will remove metal parts on PAKFA and replace them with composites on...
