AMCA - Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (HAL)

[no smoking]

When something is work in progress it is expected to change.

Not the change as big as we saw in AMCA concept.
When you see such a big change, you know you have to re-do the 80% of previous wind tunnel tests, if not 100%, not to mention those primary R&D on material, electronic, etc, etc.

No one is going to share AMCA DETAILS because your import lobby arse demands it. Get used to it. 90-% Indian planes will be indigenous by 2040

What data do you want,blueprints....that ain't possible,everyone sells brochure not the details .......no one but the testpilot at HAL claimed so,and here people justify such....We are buying Rafale since over two decades ,and it's no new...the cockpit design it is bringing will gonna be obsolete within a decade and more and more aircrafts will be featuring the new Wide area display design......
Instead you should also have visited DRDO website defence science journal,also as per Lockheed 70 stealth comes from the design and that's why you don't see US with all advance stealth material claiming that the new F16,f18,f15 will become stealth like that of China.....
The RCS depends upon numerous factors,the ones you stated are the frontal RCS(and that's too if doubt is totally false)and that's too for PR....Now comes to research paper,their are many papers in the DSJ such as on radar absorbent surface(RAS:-glass epoxy composite),Jaumann wide band EMW absorber,metamaterials....the property of metamaterials are that they absorb 99 percent energy of certain wavelengths and are applicable on narrow band,that is most probable for the X band aircraft in the vicinity....Their are various other journals,just go through the DRDO website,publication,defence science journals,Archives,issues,materials and search for the stealth material related stuff........

Visited DRDO website too for defence science journal, there are some good publications, wanted to mention that but that's ok.

My nigga the article sourced by me is from 2006.
We have come a long way since then.

The coating tech is solidified and it will only get better with time, check the AMCA thread u can probably find more sources.
All sub component for 5th gen is almost done, all there is left is a prototype to fly.

Any new publication by the IIT guys from them, I couldn't find it on research gate. DRDO publications if any?

 

[scatterStorm]

Here is what happens when you comment without seeing everything . The article is from 2006, surely they have developed it further in these 14 yrs? Besides its 89%

I've read the article, its date too. But since there's no publication under there name, how we would know if anything was achieved. Give me source to DRDO publications if you have where they say we have done it?

We will be facing and F16D again over LOC very soon and this time quite frankly in a merge, so it better have a good alpha similar to MIG 29UPG or the likes of F18 Super Hornet, thank goodness we purchased Rafael.

Was there a merge in the last PAF and IAF skirmish?

Anyway, the success in any new aerial battle will boil down to training, tactics, coordination, discipline and stick8nh with clear and achievable objectives. Pakistan is already acquainted with Rafale through other Air Forces and some of their pilots even flew the Rafale. They are plotting and planning their ambush.

If Pakistan has to fight Rafale it will stretch their AD and aircraft capabilities but most likely they will rely on csrefully choreographed ambush. They will take advantage of some gung ho attitudes of some IAF pilots. And if PAF cannot get into position the will simply call off their attack.

So I hope the IAF are level-headed and objective in their analysis of Pakistani tactics.

Can explain what this means ? How good is this new material.

Hopefully this time NAL fabricates the right radome....

Yes there was the merge in last skirmish between f16 and mig21. It doesn't matter Rafale is mainly for nuclear delivery role. So only 6-8 Rafale will be on both fronts for normal missions.

They will be nuke capable doesn't mean they won't perform normal missions. Mirage are for nuke role even today yet they went to blow up balakot.

No we have 12-18 M2k and jaguar 12-18 for this role. They don't do normal missions until someone is really desperate. Moreover these aircraft have some additional stuff in it. You don't sacrifice your nuke platform aircrafts in petty fights. We have 50 M2k. Many m2k are available for strike missions

36 more rafale will surely come plus those 50 mirage will serve us for 15 more years after upgrade.

Thankyou for the information ..
But what is the relation of that with my comments.?

That well have more rafale ! And that nuke delivery roll won't be transferred to rafales outright but slowly along with some su30 mki taking the role too

No they will not. There is a reason why m2k and jaguar are given this role . And in future Rafale will replace them. Su30 is not strike platform and can not fly as low as them .

Lol some su30 are already with strategic force command. And why do you think we spend so much effort to lug world fattest cruise missile to su30.

Hehe.
