    Sukhoi PAK FA

    Good thing dear retard., Rafale in eastern sector will just be a good interceptor and nothing else, as it wont have the range and the load to hit china where it would hurt, It can do that job in western sector, Sure, IAF has taken a base in West Bengal and they are smart, but also this is a...

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    Somewhat like this but IAF grey is more like bluish gray,,, but this is close and looks way better than that other colour scheme

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    Usually at least during the soviet times the Russian had twin seat trainers for most planes and they were having U in their model no, for example the Twin seat trainer version of MiG-21 would be MiG-21U. When we were buying MiG-21, IAF used bombers like Canberras, the requirement of twin seat...

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    Doesnt look that cute in this colour scheme, I think the Grey one that IAF uses would be much better, The russian one is attractive, but I think that would suit the topography in Russia.

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    Well, I think you know yourself better, right? So stop posting hilarious things Rafale was beaten hands down by Su-30 MKI in WVR combat, and one of the weakness of Su-30 MKI is very big RCS, On other hand Su-57 is stealthy and very low RCS in design itself, further with all the other avionics...

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    With all the Data fusion done on Su-57, I still wonder why India wants twin seater. They are not insisting on same for Rafale.. is IAF trying to make it difficult for Russian planes only?

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    Most hilarious thing I read for a long time. You really do overestimate the Rafale and underestimate the Chinese planes.. but try not to talk so stupid. Rafale against china = Cannon fodder for Chinese planes. Which long range missiles are you talking abt? You mean to say India does not have...

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    I would correct you about Migs and Mirages here, Mig-29 are way better than Mirage 2000, The biggest problem with MiG-29 was our air force. IAF limited MiG-29 purely as Air superiority plane, and this flaw became apparent during Kargil when Jaguar was found inept to hit targets in Kargil and the...

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    IAF is a professional air force, but sadly they are not led professionally. The top brass have been seriously involved in a way to fill their own pockets, and there is no bigger example than ACM Tyagi and NAK Browne Su-30 MKI was there during their time as leaders, how exactly did they take care...

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    It is strange seeing Rafale boys ranting on Su-57 thread,,, How about you going to Rafale thread and do this ranting there? As far as Rafale its an overated plane thats excellent when against third world countries without credible air defence, When the Russians came to Syria, the Rafales simply...

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    There are generations of planes that define which is better, but ultimately it all would come down to, who wins in actual combat, If plane A can beat plane B most of the times then certainly plane B is the more capable plane and more suited to its user, Its not just the plane and weapons, but...

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    Actually when the Stagnation level is reached thats when new discoveries are made The world was stagnating and then came the steam power, industrial revolution etc, and when that almost came to stagnation then came the evolution of computers,. and that sort of brought us where we are now. There...

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    When was F-22 produced? Late 90s After that there was some avionics upgrade, the Radar is same and not upgraded, But there was incremental upgrade in avionics, On other hand Su-57 is with new technolgies, Earlier there was gap between American and Russian tech due to collapse of Soviet union...

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    IAF doubts everything Russian now, The Americans use RCS differently than Russians, The Americans and europeans take RCS which is lowest. That is usually Frontal. Which is like PMPO for Audio,, Where as the Russians are looking at RCS from all angles, more or less like RMS for Audio. PMPO will...

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    FGFA will have the Russian Item 30 engine. That is the one India has been waiting for and it is in a class of itself. The avionics,, the Radar would be Russian as the Russians have developed a nice ecosystem for it. Perhaps the MKI'sed part could be part of the avionics such as Targeting pod and...

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    Once we have an aerial deterrent like Su-57. the Chinese will push for the development of J-20 further and also try to threaten us with nuclear ability. But it is important to have the conventional force strong enough to at least blunt the Chinese conventional threat.

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    Thank you for the inside info, but I would prefer to wait for the official word. Just getting curious, any word about the Super Sukhoi upgrade.,.. Thats something that everyone seems to have forgotten about. So is it like the moment Su-57 MKI is signed they start to water down the tech to get...

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    Just to summarise the thoughts of other members 1. GET some Su-57 prototypes and test them 2. Learn about the plane also advice some changes that might be required. 3. Also try to learn if there are other External PODs etc that we might require for say Su-57 MKI and ask them to be tested and...

    Sukhoi PAK FA

    The useless UPA Govt was neither secular nor peaceful. it was impotent Govt whose top people were used to be being funded by the fake indian currency being circulated by them. That is why the talks of "peace" is to ensure that they are funded by their handlers also purchasing new planes and...
