The plan is that a new multirole 5th generation fighter will be entering service sometime in the 2014-2016 timeframe.

Not sure if serious. 😐

You heard it here people. An Air Force that can barely keep a handful of MiG-29s flying, is looking at PAK-FA.

His calculation shows that the F-35’s APG-81, which allegedly has 1,400 T/R modules, will be able to recognize the Eurofighter or semi-stealth fighter at 120 kilometers or farther based on the assumption both radars have the same capability.

Hmm, interesting. Irbis-E manufacturers claim 90km detection of a .01m2 target, obviously a much lower RCS target than the Typhoon.

Easily enough room for 3 compressed:

Agreed, but at the same time, if the intention is 4 larger AAMs, then the 3 per bay capability might be a waste of time and money.

Interesting wing pods on that Yak…

REquest:

Are there ANY photos of the Indian carrier under construction? Satelite or anything else?

How about anything new on Arihant?

Sort of shocking how little info has emerged, at least visually.
