LCA TEJAS MK1 & MK1A: News and Discussion

[binayak95]

ah already mentioned here on threads, besides even wikipedia has it,
i wasn't sure whic cannon was that but wiki says it's Sukhoi's GSh-30 so maybe that one

I never understood why HAL did not go for the Aden guns from the Jaguars/Harriers. Thats a gun system we have been using since the Hunters entered service - and one that just plain works - and OFB has license too

GSh-30-1 mass is shown as 46kg while aden cannon is 190kg maybe thats why

 

[Suryavanshi]

They seem lower powered than the 30x165mm that the russians use, though I doubt it will matter much for air combat....

Didnt stop Gnats and Hunters from slaying all them Sabres and MiG19s, did it? Though, the weight seems logical

 

[Suryavanshi]

Can we make a 30 mm cannon and just put it in a jet or are there certain factors to it?

 

[Suryavanshi]

Dis indigenous?

 

[Suryavanshi]

That doesn't seem like a good idea.. gun exhaust ingestion chances?

Gun exhaust is diverted downwards and while flying it will most likely be swept back, poor paint gonna take all the brunt.

 

[binayak95]

Most advanced cannon XD

This is a Soviet design - the autocannon 2A42. The same gun is fitted onboard naval ships such as FACs as the CRN 91.

OFB calling it the most advanced gun is typical

That channel has some amazing videos about Tejas development

 

[MrPresident]

What are those 4 small bombs? Also, looks like 2 diff fuel containers. Which one is the standard?

Those are pau kilo ka atum bumb.

So things like Strain on the aircraft body, vibration and Gas diversion do factor in installing the gun

Why is F 22 cannon so clean then?

Clean means inside the fuselage ?? Or exhaust fumes ??

Both have their merits the first ones aspire for change with criticism though sometimes they tend to go overboard but still critics are necessary for any functioning democracy and the second one with their inexhaustible belief stand for stability and hopeful future for example when we were in the meltdown they believed indian army in a heartbeat.

Then there's the eternal, "tight slap to <insert enemy of choice>"

No matter what happens, half a dozen comments will always be about how it is a tight slap

@Roland55 are there any folks in Argentina politics who are in favor of more defense spending? or all parties arriving to the same conclusion?

Lately a more "liberal" party that was created a few years ago is the only one that supports a bit more sending regarding the armed forces. The current ones (Kirchner) have no intention of investing on defense, the major opposition might have a bit more intentions, but that's not saying much (I mean, this are the guys who wanted to pay less for the Korean trainers, and they already were cheap)

Eventually they will have to spend in defence, but that might take years..

Argentina doesn't have the money to spend on defence.
