    Informative.
    Integration without oem support is more difficult , which many a times doesnt exist.

    I doubt even OEMs are aware of such issues, because they would generally tend to adhere to their in house standards. Its only when you start to mix and match that “surprises” start popping up.

    Good video but awful presentation.

    Learn from the West as to how to present things 😉

    Oh please, do make a public presentation on nuances of archaeology so that I can call it drab and tasteless if I manage to stay awake :diablo:

    Hmmm. What kind of range would that have, there is already supersonic Kh-31 with very long range in the modern variants.

    Considering the capacity of centerline pylon of Mig-29K and Rafale, I think they are looking at something significantly bigger, maybe something as heavy as a 2000 liter tank ?

    The pic above (which I think is slated for the ‘Super 30’) is the most advanced Russian one yet, and only a step away from a full one-piece panoramic- which will become more widespread in a few years as AM OLED tech matures and becomes commercially viable.

    Just wondering when is Elbit’s next gen display for SH going to be operational? because I think HAL has already jumped on the bandwagon with Elbit on this one. Also opting for Russian MFD’s seems a bit odd when money has been spent to acquire tech from Thales and Elbit.

    A smaller, lighter version of Brahmos (3?) would be developed for MiG-29 and Rafale. I believe this product have a greater shot at export success considering the number of aircraft that would be able to carry it without major modifications.

    Interesting Info there TwinBlade.

    Is it mentioned where these LCDs would go, The Integrated LCD looks confusing. They could rearrange those Widgets.

    The MTA looks good.The PD-14 engines are big. Which ones are to be used? the base model or the derated model?

    The panoramic displays are meant for AMCA, but some dubious sources claim that they might be intended for Tejas Mk2 as well. If they are that close to production (which seems highly unlikely), then it would open up a lot of possibilities (Rafale ? Su-30 upg ? FGFA ?)

    Regarding MTA, it seems like the derated model would be used (or at least wiki figures suggest so)

    Is this the mentioned prototype …. ????

    Seems to be a part of public ceremony to initiate the project. Thanks for sharing.

    Could that cockpit be the new Su-30SM?
    There are two beeing build, and they should be completed soon.

    They are combat trainers for Su-35S and Pak-Fa..

    It could be just as likely that its an Irkut owned aircraft being used as a testbed for future systems rather than being the new production variant ? That would explain the older HUD as well.

    So the ATD-X isn’t supposed to have internal bays as it is a scaled down tech demonstrator for F-3, right ?

    OT:-

    You mean J-7? Oh but soon they’ll be flying J-20 AKA the best warplane in the world. 😀

    Do you really need to invoke China Strong in nearly every thread ? Do you really have a compulsive need for others to acknowledge what you have to say regardless of its factual or logical fallacy ? I think you should take a look at this.

    yes, and the larger and heavier landing gear makes it look more brutish than the IAF’s Tejas variants. When the final single-seat Naval prototype rolls out (not NP-2), IMO it will be the best looking of all the Tejas variants, with its lengthened fuselage (ala Mk2), LEVCONS and bigger landing gear.

    That landing gear is too heavy !! They over engineered it for 5 times the tolerance needed !!
