Why procure Stryker now, after the DAC already cleared the FICV program last year?
wait for formal announcement. What could be possible is that they might be inducting few examples of specific system which is housed on stryker.
I never said both have same requirements or that STFE tech was used in kaveri. I am saying that the technology is very similar, especially in FADEC software, controls etc. Yes, Kaveri tech was used in STFE but my point was that STFE working perfectly is an indication that the tech is functional.
The engine can never make 90kn without serious redesign. India is unlikely to bother developing a 90kN engine when its idea is to have Tejas Mk2, AMCA & TEDBF running on 110kN engines. Tejas Mk1 is a stop gap measure to gain data, feedback and act as a testbed for indigenous tech. It does not make sense to develop an engine for a model which is going to be replaced.
I had similar thinking about tapas
India won't induct Stryker. This is like the fake news that said India will buy AEGIS howitzer, NASAMS 2, F414-EPE etc. These are fake news
12 is just a prototype LSPs. It will increase over time. But India intends to develop state of the art surveillance drones with most cutting edge technology. India does not see merit in combat drones as they are only useful against rag tag militants and WW2 level armies without any airforce or SAM. It is the surveillance part of drones using SAR radar, ELINT, SIGINT, E/O sensors which is most critical as they can offer huge amounts of information
Technically, India did buy M777s .
Sorry, my bad. I meant ATHOS howitzer which is Israeli, not American. It was said to be instead of ATAGS citing that ATAGS was a failure and India was planning to manufacture ATHOS in JV with Israel! That was a complete fake news.
Saffaran asked more money , so that deal didn't finalize....was they able to generate more than 81kn,what was the planning, just to check the flutter issue ,or also to increase the thrust
12 for navy is final and thats not lsp
Not really, flutter is more of mechanical or structural issue. You can also look at this old video reuploaded by shiv.
I doubt French are gonna solve the issue with Kaveri, most likely they gonna swindle perpetually. They will ask for X amount of money after some Y time, or they will hook on the drug of "Co-Production" like Shakti engines. Retards at Ministry or GTRE should understand that there is no shortcut here. Research-Build-Test again Research-Build-Test . But, that requires Test Facilities, which Gobermint recently sanctioned. Previously there was so much misery attitude in investing for test facilities for any product even for rocket engines much more jet engines. Babus should remember that even if we give 10B$ to Safran, they are not gonna give up theiR Golden Goose. If baguettes in some alternate universe agreed for it, most likely "Yours Truly-Uncle Sam" would prevent that. But in reality, French are not stupid to handover such. I imagine if the deal went through, after swindling money for some years, most likely they will advocate to buy Co-Production engines with Safran Hot Section which means back to square one.
Where in the video does it show a mechanical problem? The flutter is caused by problems like fuel injection, airflow control, poor compressor control, poor designing etc. Otherwise, the flutter in the jet flame would not start so early on when the engine has not fully heated up to cause mechanical issues or melting
The video is showing you combustion issue. Flutter is another issue which is more pertaining to blades. Here is 2020 post from DFI which posted excerpt from DDR. And thats why you see on GTRE site they are working on new fan too.
Simple tactics buy imported goods in name of setting benchmarks then delay the indigenous product after sometime get into conflict situation convince MoD babus and pmo that already supply chain and logistics has been established for so called small no of imported item let's get it in mass as we can fill up our gap as indigenous product will take time to get into service and reach its potential
Hmmm.. But this combustion issue shown in the video (which I mistook for flutter) looks more like a control or design issue rather than mechanical/alloy problem.
does this babus have Modi's nudes? Why can't he deal with them? Isn't it merely babus? I mean if you dig on them he would definitely find dirt which can be used in courts? Or Are they supported by external forces and any action on them would have some setbacks?
Definitely last one
Flutter was due to blade issue.. and it occurred only at higher thrusts(80 kn)
