If that was the case then you can brand every single nation on the planet a potential aggressor and Evil dooer..

please use less rhetoric ..

interesting points GD, however i fear you are only wasting your time by replying to vortex, nothing short of ‘the evil red commies’ saving the world from alien invasion would convince him that the chinese arent an american-blood thusty evil race out to destroy all that is good and pure in the world. :rolleyes:

how do you know all aliens are bad? and how do you know if the invasion would be good or bad??? 😡

Historic precedence predicts a Japanese sneak attack not a Chinese commie one.

:rolleyes:

k is thats so i take it back, but let me tell u guys that even after dumping so many dollars there u just can’t wait for our needs??? …… how wud the Isreali’s feel when we now pull out of the Phalcon and go in for a joint development for the A-50 with AESA and also make it clear that we don have to need an Isreali stuff and spedn the same monet here for developing an idegenious stuff …. u guys are really $ucked up coz no other ones gives u the kind of pocket that India is spending on acquiring ur stuffs, and i f u guys thinks that theie is no alternative, then thats simply a wet dream, …. and the Phalcon deal has stretched so long just coz of American pressure, in that time we cud have said that get lost we don ned it, but it was the political consideration along with the IAF’s needs that we put on with that ….

and again abt the report, k is thats uneliable, so be it, i from now on wont give a damn to it, but what IF that happend to be the truth later on??….

and yo, atleast Isreali’s sud known what Blackcat means to their largest importer or weapons … well curse, well what can i say my friend?? … i don want to make u remember what they say abt those who did not hear the ‘messengers’ words …. well I rest my case here no more on this one!

BLACKCAT no official sources have been noted in the post and you are just feeding a flamebait thats all mate.

and i dont think EREZ has much say in matters such as what you are discussing leave the poor guy alone ..lol.

now tell me will you be going to any airshows in India and will you be posting pictures of them for us?

I thought the main aim of the LCA is to replace the Mig-21’s and considering the number of Mig-21’s that the InAF has in service i doubt they or the ADA would go for a super duper tech aircraft, having said that i also doubt that they would go and shoot themselves in the proverbial foot by designing and building an aircraft that does not atleast equal what its rival fields and although the government line is different we know that PAF is the target of it.

People will reply to this by saying well the InAF is big and Hi-Fi it doesnt need to worry about the PAF etc etc.. and in reality it is thinking of the PLAAF. to them i just want to point out that statistically we are more likely to be flying against the PAF then the PLAAF..

also do bare in mind that most statistics are made up on the spot.

wonder if it would be at fairford

Because the IAF needs to maintain and even expand its squadron strength and many planes such as the MiG-23s are leaving the force, the first 8 LCAs will enter service in 06 but large sale production will probably start by late 07-08 timeframe. PLus, no more money can be thrown at the LCA, its called the decreasing returns in econ. The LCA btw will begin weapons testing later this year when the PV2 comes online, the Kopyo has been dropped, meaning, the MMR must be ready, at least in minimum modes.

or they want to put the radar from the Mig-29k into it until the MMR is ready?
