Hi, is the radome in the picture Indian because if I am not wrong the British one used to look a lot whiter

The problem was not that the Mk 1's airframe can not do such maneuvers but that the pilots of Mk 1 did not have Onboard Oxygen Generator and some other similar things which prevented them from attempting such aggressive G maneuvers as without these equipments the strain on their bodies would be...

Netra 475 km range, is news to me, it always bugged me how can netra's range be so less (250KM as some claimed) when it's AAAU was infact bigger than Eriye (not Erieye ER). Thankyou for this post 😊😊

Source ? I would like to read more about this

My fever dream is the 2nd batch 97 of mk1a have kaveri Engine. Which I know is not possible but the hopium is just too good to let go of 🙂🙂

Why would the uttam mk2 be GaAs when literally every new radar DRDO is making is GaN based, from proposed Netra mk1a radar to QRSAM radar to Akash NG radar. I remember when the uttam mk2 was first revealed, folks on both DFI and Twitter were discussing how it's GaN based, so I am going to roll...

This one is different, it's the Radar for Netra AEW&CS. However you are right UTTAM is a scalable radar

It literally says AAAU for Tejas mk1a with a picture of the newer GaN radar instead of the pic of older GaAs radar we saw in 2019 Aero India. If mk1a was having GaAs Radar the said picture would have shown the above radar not the newer rectangular shaped GaN radar. Officially there is no uttam...

GaN variant of Uttam mk2 AESA Radar on Tejas mk1a confirmed.

Egypt uses Al Tariq, Maybe we are laying the ground work for that

If a Mk1B ever materialises, these would be the upgrades I'd like to see 1. wide panoramic touchscreen display (similar to AMCA) 2. More powerful Mission Computer optimised for man machine Teaming 3. Helmet Mounted Display Sight (HMDS) instead of HUD 4. A conformal fuel tank (beneath the...

I have a question Is there any plan for a dual rack pylon for Astra (ejector launcher) on Tejas mk1a or mk2. like the Pakistani JF 17

Are 42 squadrons really enough, given how fast the PLAAF is expanding is this 2 decade old aircraft number enough. I think there is more than enough requirement for 223 mk1a and 114 mrfa and mk2 and AMCA

Thanks for the reply, but if what you are saying is the case then shouldn't we be integrating American weapons too (read AMRAAMs) because in case of a war with China they are going to be our biggest ally and are the only military power to have the MIC to supply us with enough weapons during a...

Because Logistics I am confused because I am yet to see proof indicating that NG CCM is not a licence produced ASRAAM What you are saying here would have been ture if we hadn't signed an agreement to licence produce ASRAAM

I am still not convinced that NG CCM is not just a rebranded ASRAAM as there is no info indicating otherwise. 1. We are planning to license produce ASRAAM here in India and make it our standard CCM (indicating that there would not be an indigenous CCM missile, because if there was an indigenous...

Going by your logic IAF should induct Gripen C as well as it is also a good jet. If your concern is capability, then Tejas and Gripen combined shouldn't be an issue. If your concern is quantity and production, then Tejas will fit that role. "Koi Sense hai is baat ka" Shouldn't we be making NG...

Then why are we planning to make ASRAAM as our standard CCM. Also the exterior difference between MG CCM and AsRAAM is way less than R 73 and Python 5 Why are we license producing a foreign missile to be our standard CCM missile (instead of using it as a stop gap measure) if we are going to...
