Stealth Engine doesn't refer to Intake design but the ability to lower exhaust gases temperature by mixing cooler air along the hotter exhaust air so as to lower IR signature...the biggest weakness of any stealth fighter is exhaust gases...since they are Afterburning Engines they tend to have stronger IR signatures than Non-Afterburning Engines. Even F-22 can't beat F-117 Nighthawk and B-2 spirit Bombers in IR Stealth.

The post mentioned rcs of blades, so I said that.

Ngad?

Don't take anything their PAO(public affairs officers) post as true. They're mostly the lowest capablity officers who can't be eliminated otherwise.

For example, this is also done by the PAO:

Flankers/Fulcrums overflying a Soviet destroyer .. you get the idea

I thought this was a running joke and they have been doing it for a few years? Atleast that's what I was told

Anyway so if this is true then ccs clearance in this week could he possibility
But I don't think so the same happened during his American trip but we got ghanta

TF is happening .. Is there something drastically wrong with the naval group that IN does not want follow on scorpenes ?

IN cannot fall into this trap that IAF fell into when it went for different types of fighters in small quantities instead of settling for economy of scale and building up its own niche of skill set in one line of manufacturing and customizing it to its own needs. Perhaps IN is feeling that DCN is not letting IN doing that.

“It gives us great joy to be in a position to be the design and technology partner for P75(I). We are also in collaboration with L&T for the Landing Platform Dock (LPD) program whose tender is eagerly awaited. With these two prestigious programs for the Indian Navy, Navantia is proud to be making a key contribution towards fulfilling the defence needs of India, a nation with which Spain shares excellent relationship.”

How to draft a RFI : A masterclass

Following are the weights of all the currently active gun - missiles ADS.
Pantsir S1M - 42.3t, Biho - 26.5t, Gepard - 47.5t, Marksman - 41t, Type 87 - 38t, Type 97 - 22.5t, PGZ 09 - 35t, SkyRanger 30 (Boxer) - 27t, Type 625E - 25t.

Min value : 22.5t, Max value : 47.5t, Mean : 33.8t, Median : 35t

And this is what they want...

PS : An unarmed Kalyani M4 weighs 16t
🥲

Just Wanted to Confirm whether or not I am getting this correct.

VSHORAD - 6km Max range, 3.5km max altitude, used as a man portable air defence system mainly against helicopters and other low flying objects
Comparable System - American Stinger

VLSRSAM - 50km max range, 16km max altitude, used for area defence like protecting bases (Airforce Variant) and Ships (Naval Variant)
Comparable System - Japanese Chū-SAM

QRSAM - 30km max range, 14km max altitude, Used for defending moving battle groups in short range.
Comparable System - Israeli SPYDER

Barak 8 - 70-90km max range, 20km Max altitude, used for area defence like protecting bases (Airforce Variant) and Ships (Naval Variant)
Comparable System - Italian CAMM - MR

Akash NG - 70km Max range, 14km Max Altitude, Used for defending moving battle groups in medium range.
Comparable System - None

 

[standard snowball]

Can someone explain me India's BMD and compare it to American or Chinese one
I am so ducking confused.
what is the range and altitude of PDV, AAD, AD1, AD2.
Which of these have a planned naval variant.
Which of these are currently operational and where

CAMM AD system, SPYDER system are similar systems and offer short to medium tier AD protection
Japanese Chū-SAM is a replacement of HAWK, offering medium tier AD protection
Barak 8 offer all round protection, from short to near long tier AD, its unique, a single missile capable of doing jobs of all CAMM missiles[SR/MR/LR], SPYDER, Chū-SAM, with limited TBM interception capability
Akash NG similar to Japanese Chū-SAM
VLSRSAM is similar to AMRAAM VL., ESSM, and barak MR, CAMM etc

Well as we all suspected finally it's happening

France ki to chandi hai.

I'm looking forward to those 3 additional Kalvari class subs.

May be comes with more tech & know why to build p 76

 

[standard snowball]

CAMM AD system, SPYDER system are similar systems

No they are not, SPYDER is a short range SAM specifically Designed to be very mobile and be able to move with armoured columns, not the same as CAMM AD. QRSAM is the closest thing to SPYDER

Barak 8 offer all round protection, from short to near long tier AD, its unique, a single missile capable of doing jobs of all CAMM missiles[SR/MR/LR], SPYDER, Chū-SAM, with limited TBM interception capability

This I agree with

Akash NG similar to Japanese Chū-SAM

How, Akash NG is slanted and has a higher range and faster reaction time than Chu SAM, not to mention both countries use them for different purposes, then how can it be compared to Chu SAM.

VLSRSAM is similar to AMRAAM VL., ESSM, and barak SR.

Yes, VLSRSAM is comparable to Barak SR and AMRAAM VL (you mean NASMAS).
My main reason of mentioning Chu SAM was because of similar range and lack of knowledge about Barak SR

+36
+26
Another 26 after winning 24's election to replace MiG-29s
Then another 26 to IAF for showing laal aankh to Cheen
