F16 is an outdated aicraft it took first flight 45 years ago its made up of aluminium alloy with very less carbon composite i dont know why indian media keeps hyping f16 as the most advanced fighter jet in the world
I would not term it as outdated, the newer block 70/72 are pretty Modern Which come with decent Radar and Weopon Package. I would consider F-16s from block 52 onwards to be more on the Modern side. F-16. The latest model is called F - 16 Viper Block 70 / 72 and it has some Technologies of F-35 and F-22 Integrated in it, and US Airforce won't necessarily buy more F-16s but rather use them for till maybe the 2040-50s at Most, after that the F-16 will start getting obsolete. As of now I would not consider the F-16 as an Outdated Aircraft. Maybe the older blocks maybe outdated but the newer ones? Uhm. Not so much.
by that logic no aircraft is outdated because every aircraft gets upgraded with new systems and subsytems
I am not saying that it's not outdated what I am saying is that the older blocks are Which I would consider pretty much outdated. The newer ones are more modern and The F-16 will remain for quite some time and upto to the 2040s too. As of now ,it's only good for export to Airforces like Taiwan, Phillipines, Bangladesh etc.
Covid banaya hi isliye hai bhai...
Mai khus ki mera xam postpone hogaya , hal wale khus ki tejas postpone hogya
How is HAL happy
Then why can't it deliver like dassault or UAC ?
Calculation of this guy was hilarious
, he said 24 months for testing , that means 2 yr , means 2023 March or June for production , so how he shifted production timeline to 2025 , ye konsa Nasha h bro
Uac ka delivery schedule share karna iss yr ka , foc me delay batao , proper , r madhvan ji ke interview batao
Well Madhavan said they were awaiting few items to come from Israel after which they would make ready all FOCs and deliver. I'm not sure my guess: it's the ELTA 2032 MMR may have not been fully delivered by them??
Sets very bad precedence. Rolling out a new fighter for the nation's security is not some high-school exam that can be postponed at per social situations.
it depends on the aircraft,it the aircraft is well supported by it manufacturer and nation which itself might be the result of its suitability and sales volume to as many countries as possible,then its obselence can be delayed a little and the newer version could somewhat keep up with new aircraft.this is on the condition that the previous purchasers keep up with upgrading the aircraft.LM had also puts more research than most companies in prolonging and marketing the f16 so it might explain its long service,but of course there is a limit.
some lru are not yet installed as they have not arrived from israel.
This is horrible. We are still dependent on imports for such critical components? Doesn't BEL makes LRUs too?
