the biggest failure for Tejas project was that India tried to develop many technologies like Engine, Radar etc which are difficult to develop without proper knowledge, and tried to put them together in one plane. If Tejas had insisted on Kaveri engine and Uttam radar, it would have remained a...

Indian Su-30 MKI dont use the Russian Wingtip Jammers, basically they are counter productive as they seem to affect performance. But rather than a pod, it would be better if all IAF fighter planes have an internal ASPJ that might be a very useful avionics to have rather than an external pod

Oh, so now Pakistan started to litter india by sending scrap?

With Brahmos NG which is smaller and lighter, Su-30 MKI will be able to carry upto 5. But yes the Su-30 MKI that could carry the original Brahmo can it be possible for it to carry Nirbhay, as with that we can target important cities of Mainland China which otherwise are not possible to hit with...

There is a report and the same was mentioned in an article which might tell you the mentality of IAF. http://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/govt-takes-note-of-su-30mki-s-poor-serviceability-114102300006_1.html This is an article about poor availablity of Su-30 MKI in IAF. and...

Give IAF a free hand and they would go for 500 Rafales there is difference between need and want, IAF needs lost cost and low maintenance planes that can be used for flying CAPS, what IAF wants is the most expensive plane available. BTW IAF top brass in recent times were involved in trying to...

Su-30 MKI is a good platform, but If I have to select a good candidate for patrolling of the sea and have the offensive ability, I would prefer Su-34, It was designed to be different from Air Dominance Su-30 MKI as being more heavier, having more powerful engine and hence ability to carry more...

there is a lot of confusion in the nomenclature of Sukhoi Flanker family Su-32 Full back, (as know before) is now Su-34, Su-33 is the ship based version of Su-30 . The Chinese have Su-33 with them also.

PEHCHAN KAUN? PEHCHAN PEHCHAN ..............

It is not only the IAF but most of the top brass of our forces are more involved to have more assets than the other than to make the assets really useful. Security is important in air base but they assume that when someone gets in by cutting the wire cutters, they would probably run down the...

MAWS were around since the early 90s if I am not mistaken, But furthermore, the way IAF was stressing the need for AESA for Tejas (but they never insisted one for Mirage 2000 upgrade, which is surprising) they never seems to have stressed for the need for MAWS as urgently.

Just wonder why IAF top brass did not have the vision to have MAWS for Su-30 MKI where as Malaysia has MAWS for their Su-30 MKMs This shows in a way that IAF leadership is not as visionary as they show off to be, Where their interest lies??? You can know from the case of ACM Tyagi and the...

Understand from some news that the pilots did not make it.

Unfortunately,. Indians do not have much in common so that defection might really help, He would always stick out like a sore thumb, Further a problem is, One pilot thinking of defecting ok, but the pair thinking of defecting together, highly unlikely.. Further you are talking of defecting and...

Also there is another one who is yet to be questioned (NAK BROWNE) and I guess Saha might be next

Coming decades you mean, the planes just had MLU after almost one and half decade. which will also increase air frame life

Would these be the ones that are designated to be carrying Air launched Brahmos or those are not these?

Coming years means at least 2 decades ... lot of time Further upgrading them to Super sukhoi stage might improve their life by maybe 3 decades,, (same as Rafale)

Just a curious question, What if Super Sukhoi might get Item 30 engine? Would it further enhance the capability of Super Sukhoi ??

It is the colour, The colour of the left bird, the nose is lighter than the body, and the right bird the nose is darker than the body colour... just an observation
