Aero India 2023

[NutCracker]

Why they are making it with ISRO of all people, shouldn't DRDO be a preferred partner?

ISRO might be heavily indulged into its guiding system.

I still dont understand why this thing is taking so much of time to come out though havjng so much experience in making our own helicopter..Techs have already been developed...
SO MUCH OF TIME WASTED and we are still seeing the Scale models...!!!!!

Looks different than before @abingdonboy

They’ve reverted to the original design (was seen in the most recent wind tunnel test model too), looks a lot better than the full scale mockup they showed at previous aero Indias

So much hype because the US brought this over. How many products does the US send to all these shows and none ever get ordered

as the US official said india hasn’t even asked forthe F35 as of yet

The reality is the US won’t sell the F35 to india without a LOT of agreements signed first. India is not a NATO member and has S400, just to get into a position to have the F35 on the table a lot of work will have to go on. Then you hand it over to the IAF and MoD babus and as the MRFA and MQ9B sagas have shown the drama is only just beginning at that point. It would be 10+ years before they are even in a place to sign a deal imo (conservatively talking). Unless AMCA spectacularly fails there’s no scope here. Then again if MRFA fails to take off the import armed forces will be desperate to start their next mega deal circus.

for sure the defence fanboy/blog base will be demanding the F35 for india for the next 20 years but reality has a way of winning out

(for as much as they are utterly devoid of urgency one can count on MoD babus to extract a pound of flesh and make demands that the US simply won’t be willing to pay for their premier strike fighter. There’s a reason DTTI has delivered next to nothing in >10 years and why the MQ9B saga drags on with the US having to agree that india will be the first country outside of the US to have assembly for the birds)

Har Aero India and Defence exhibition me Hum logo ko Chutiya banane liye kuch na kuch laya jata hai. Last time was CATs warrior... This time HLFT 42.

During every aero India, we are given false hope/feelings like, Bro" we are just itch away from become a military super power. Generals, MOD, DRDO and PSUs/MSMEs all talk loud and proud.

But after Aero India everything disappear. Generals go into Import mode, MOD go election mode, DRDO goes Mute mode and PSU/MSMEs goes into sleep Mode.

Only the few thing are constant which are:- Delays, Slipping deadlines, Trials, New RFI for Import.

Now, WTF is this

 

[arnabmit]

Oh yes, it's OFFICIAL now that Tejas Mk1A took its first flight in May 2022.

Yep This is what I was thinkin . Last year it was LCA SPORTS , Before that we had AJT, IJT . Now we have mish mash of LCA, Marut and with some dash of m2k - called as LIFT. Yaar tum keval LCA MK2 and AMCA ka fuselage ke fasteners hi banakar le aatey to hum kush ho jaate ki AMCA or MK2 ka kuch progress ho raha hai. ...
Even HAL knows HLFT is all hawa till IAF and Gov gives green light. Par woh bhi kya kare - Kambhakt Aero India har 2 saal main aata hai.. jo saath main lata hai unka public performance review. Uhein Pandaal bharne ke liye bhi kuch naya chahiye hota hai... yeh PM ko batane ke liye bhai hum screwdrivergiri ke alaava proactively aur cheezon main bhi bizee they...

I went yesterday to Aero India 2023 in Bangalore. The aircraft line up was really impressive! People were lining up to get into the cockpit of the Gripen. Indigenous items were highlighted especially the iDEX initiative.
