Military aircraft engine must be quickly developed: IAF chief N A K Browne

“This (military aircraft engine) is an area where we need to focus… you may have to steal, beg or borrow but you have to do it. This is one of the core technologies required by the nation,” Air Chief Marshal Browne emphasised.

ACM Browne is almost desperate now, didn’t ACM Naik scoffed at the GTRE-Snecma co-op ?

another interesting quote from the article which i think might be related to F-INSAS program for infantry…

Browne said another key technology required by the IAF was the latest and most advanced Active Electronically Scanned Array ( AESA) radar.

He said the latest radar should be developed indigenously as it gives a wider coverage range to the aircraft and can be used for intelligence gathering and provide information to local commanders at a faster pace.

Yo You think CHINA CANT MAKE MISSILES!!!!!! And what do you think pL-12 is doing? HAHHAHA!! MASsIVE FAIL!!!!!!!

in Dreaming-Land!!

Yo like HUGE export sucess of R-33 and 37 😀

I couldn’t understand what you were trying to convey :confused:

European firm offers missiles for IAF’s Su-30

I think IRIS-T or ASRAAM has been confused for Mica. Are their datalinks even compatible with Russian fighters ?

some may consider that, for a multirole bird, internal carriage is quite overrated… 😉

for a bomber, on the other hand, it can be considered interesting, but for the rest…

Those some usually are from nations that are not seeking 5th gen platforms to protect their own 4.5 gens.

which article?

the one where he said 400 F-18s are better than 200 Typhoons, but at the same time we suck for going foreign, go indigenous.. which defeats the point of 400 F-18s?

Yes that one :p

Please don’t kill me, but from this angle it really looks like the offspring of mig1.44 and berkut. 🙂

*runs away*

😉 I have long thought and commented that all these twin engined fighters would become White Elephants at one stage for the IAF. Good to know some one in the media thinks the same as well. 😉

If you might have read Admiral Arun Prakash’s article on MMRCA shortlist, that article was way better than this one with regards to cost v/s capability.
