[patriots]

[The Shrike]

Any sources with more details?

 

[Bleh]

Why ?

Expansion of export potential..

 

[Chinmoy]

i don't know if it is hoax ,pr stunt or something else but i also heard that due to its powerful radar f35 can use radar as dew weapon though it is highly unlikely as power required to be effective as dew weapon is much more

Even X-ray is a DEW. Any high power microwave or Radio wave is a potential DEW.

 

[Chinmoy]

JV ?

Yes, Sagem and OIS-AT is working a JV for Hammer guidance kit.

 

[Chandragupt Maurya]

Uttam integrated
Final trial done.
Missile fired?

Malaysia would prefer buying those jets which has UTTAM AESA and Meteor missiles instead of those equipped with Israeli missiles and radars

I want to ask a question :- Do You really Actually think that Malaysia will buy Tejas?

Decision is postponed to next year. That increases chance of Turkey Hurjet.

 

[Shuturmurg]

Islamic shitholes will only sniff each others butt .

Neither of those 2 countries are shithole. Both countries are richer, more industrialized then us.

I am really having a feeling that Malaysia has purposely postponed the decision to next year because of Tukrish Hurjet and they want to buy it From Turkey Because Turkey is Islamic majority country like Malaysia so hence Malaysia might Opt for Hurjet as a whole. I really don't trust these Islamic countries.

That's my feeling as well.

 

[Lonewolf]

That's my feeling as well.

Hurjet is trainer only ,not fighter by any measures , till 2026 when it is further modified as per schedule ,so i won't bet too much on hurjet.

Its a good possibility to give time us time to operationalize and demonstrate LCA without Israeli LRUs for Malaysia especially Uttam radar and non-Israeli weapons like AASRAM, JDAM, etc.

Indian LCA combat aircraft now being armed with American JDAM precision bombing kits

New Delhi [India], March 29 (ANI): In a major capability boost for the indigenous LCA Tejas combat aircraft, the Indian Air Force is equipping them with American Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) kits which would help them target enemy positions with pinpoint accuracy.
The Indian Air Force had recently signed a contract for the JDAM kits which help air to ground bombs to attack their targets with precision at distances of over 80 kms, government sources told ANI here.


The first fleet to be equipped with these JDAMs would be that of the Light Combat Aircraft Tejas which is going to be one of the mainstays of the force in the future, the sources said.


The capability would give a further edge to the homegrown aircraft over the adversary aircraft as they would be able to destroy targets from standoff distances, they said.


The Indian Air Force had recently equipped the Tejas with the French-origin Hammer air to ground stand-off missile along with the indigenous Astra indigenous air to air missiles.

Indian armed forces have extensively utilised the delegated financial powers granted to them in different phases by the government to equip themselves with the necessary weaponry to handle any conflict or aggression by enemies on both sides.


The Indian Air Force is strongly supporting the indigenous LCA Tejas fighter aircraft programme by adding more and more capabilities to the aircraft.


The IAF has already operationalised two of its squadrons in the initial operational clearance and final operational clearance versions while a contract has been signed for the 83 Mark1As set to be delivered a couple of years from now.


The IAF has also its eyes set on the LCA Mark 2 and the AMCA being developed by the DRDO for it. (ANI)

India to arm Tejas fighter jets with American JDAM bombing kits

Indigenous LCA Tejas fighter jets will be equipped with American JDAM bombing kits which would help the Indian Air Force target enemy positions with pinpoint accuracy.

Amid an ongoing conflict with China along the northern borders, India has placed orders for American Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) precision-guided bombing kits to enhance the capabilities of its LCA Tejas fighter jets.




The acquisition of JDAM kits under delegated financial powers by the Air Force will enable Tejas jets to take out enemy bunkers and runways at 80 km and distances beyond. It would enable the Tejas to carry out Balakot-like airstrikes with more accuracy and precision, top government sources told India Today.

The order for the JDAM from the US for the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas was placed to prepare the indigenous aircraft for taking on enemy planes in a much better way.

The emergency powers were given to the armed forces because of the ongoing conflict with the People’s Liberation Army of China in the Eastern Ladakh sector.

India has already activated two LCA Tejas fighter squadrons and is looking to get four more in a couple of years. They will replace the outgoing MiG-21 inventory.


“LCA Tejas is a far better aircraft than the Chinese developed JF-17 and the HAMMER would take it ahead of their fleet in strike capabilities,” an official said.
