Wrong , Datalinks on MKI are not copntributed by India . Neither on Mig29 as well .
Mig29UPG and Mig29K have same R-098 Polyot datalink from Russia .
While MKI have datalinks from ELISRA grp Israel - TADIRAN SpectraLink . Same Israeli are on A50 platform of IAF as well .
Mig29 would not be...
Ok , since you are my professional mate . I would take time to explain wrong notion .
Delta platforms here mean pure delta wing config . That is convention, nothing new i am talking .
Need to understand Delta means - Perfect triangle in Greek symbol
Simply compare mirage wing with...
Hi Dash - Long time .
Hmmm not much - If you remember I posted copy of tender pdf file which UAC issued for manufacturing of single piece silicate canopy .
So in most probability it will be - Silicate + single piece . Or a 2 piece polychromate one .
But certainly Low RCS treatment will...
F16 - a delta wing , Did i miss something for last 12 years . Or did PAF ordered XL version ???
Don't tempt me , but F16 is way better fighter than Mirage2000 .
Offtopic , but are you a doc by the way .
Impossible - because Mirage lacks in pure kinematics and sheer power .
When you claim Mirage will come close to mig29 in A2A performance . How do you explain the very basic deficiency correction in Mirage .
- No engine upgrade , how come T/W got bridged .
- How will rate of climb improve...
Mirages were neither good A2A fighter nor a multirole fighter .
In 1989 a DACT between Mig29 and Mirage showed the difference between a beast and beauty .
Mig29 outperformed Mirage in each and every sphere ranging from
Instantenous turn rate
Sustained turn rate
Rate of climb
name it and...
My point too , what do they bring on table for JV .
Composites, CAD drawings , Eng brains , Professionalism , Manufacturing . We are fully capable of doing everything .
I had same doubts before but the way LCH programe was handled .
I have complete faith in our Defence Labs , we can do it...
King....^^^^^ , Few corrections . Eurofighter for Indian evaluation flew with AESA radar
"Eurofighter too test-flew a prototype AESA radar for the IAF evaluation team, convincing them that it would be ready by 2014-15."
Broadsword: Rejected MMRCA vendors fight to return
The problem is -...
Really , I never claimed that only one can be carried .
I still say - 4BVRAAM+2SRAAM+2Drop tanks+1 LGB pod + 4 Paveway4 PGM .
Now you come to point , yes its strange . Even i have no clue about that .
Only RAF would know why .
Better ask this question at Keypub forum - EFLitening ...
But what are technologies that Brazil can offer us -
Engine - NO (probably SAFRAN if Rafale wins MRCA)
Radar - NO ( Either EADS o ELTA )
EW/ESM - NO ( We are already into this with ISRAEL and Germany ( MAYAWI and LCH warfare suite)
Only stealthy weapons is one area , i can think of .
Rest...
Rather than purchasing mediocre 800 module AESA of Rafale , we should wait for 2015 to get a decent swashplate AESA radar with Electronic warfare capability .
EA version of CAPTOR will be only one comparable to APG79 in performance which is a gem .
