@Karthi then what abt jv ??

Is it that some discreet G2G has already been done? and tech transfer (know-how)/collaborative effort is underway.

 

[SavageKing456]

Although I shouldn't take an interview too seriously but did you guys notice one thing?
I mean today in TMH's video, when the Director was introducing scientists, for two of the project directors, he said that he can't take the name of the project, but in the same vid he introduced the SWiFT project directors

Base RD-93 (currently being used in Mig-29s and JF-17s) is a bit more powerful than FE-404.

Other factors, let's see. Anyway, in warfare, such small differences do not translate to operational advantage, but rather tactics and how you use them.



Mk1 is ready(ish). Mk2 is still under fabrication, it will be tested, issues sorted out, then FOC will take anything from 2-5 years from now.

Just saying

Best not to get into comparison stuffs etc bec of lack of extensive subject knowledge by everyone involved ( including me )

Eg
RD93 being bit more powerful , how does it generate into a significant advantage or any advantage ? Given that it's MTBF is lesser than 404 , 2 identical aircrafts one flying with RD93 & another 404 , one with 404 will have better sortie generation rate and lower overhaul time , an aircraft can be 20-30% better than another aircraft in combat performance but if it's sortie generation rate in a given time period is half compared to the other , than operationally it looses its potency , similarly there will many other things involved

Point being we all are noobs , so we don't have the extensive knowledge base to make factor each and every point on most of the issues , especially comparisons imo

These developments don't happen on ad-hoc basis and they have bunch of requirements and validations.
These are done on a per component basis. So, seats themselves will have its own set of requirements and validations.
It would take monumental apathy to miss something like that.
