To be honest Phrozen flame… I do not care personal and empty statements. Just by flaming they think that they can hide that facts. Just look how they flame towards the FC1. Maybe that plane is not good but it is good enough for China and Pakistan. And we will see how many will be produced. Even the low cost K8 has more export successes then any Indian fighter. FC1 will pass that and it needs to be seen whether the LCA, which is maybe more high tech (composite and other higher tech avionics), will see many flags. Sharma you are besharm. And wolverine stop using personifactions. Is that difficult for you? And please return to the India Awacs. Is there a end date?:D

I agree on that. But what is the difference? Does it have a radar (the Indian version)?

It has sone problems with using the airbrake when belly tank is installed.

I do not mean bad for getting troubles but confidence in the plane. Hope he will get in the air asap. Good to see that it is still one peace (not like the Italian Starfighter on Leeuwarden) and it is not burned.

Did I push the panic button? I don’t say that the FC1 is better then LCA. But comparing a Suzuki wits a Rolls is probably a cheap man’s world. And I don’t think we all live in that same country. If comparing the LCA with other these era plane is seen as fighting then the pathetic level is shown by the number of replies made by the LCA lovers here. Wolverine… Sharma (cause that ji part is silly) Please try read my other response to India and Indian airforce. It is not comparable to your replies towards China or Pakistan. I am not jealous. Never will. Wake up.

Grat news for the poor equipped chopper brigade of the Pakistanis. I suppose they try to remake a US type Kiowa Cobra combination. If the add the Huey then they will have an ideal anti terrorism option in the Afghanistan part. For Kashimr however it will not last that long thanks to the superiotiy of the IAF. The Indians will never run all their tanks over the border withour proper MKI, Mig29, Mirage2000H or even mig21 cover. Probably that is the reason that it is allowed. About those Bells (kiowa without defence suit)… Is there going to be any upgrade for a pod or weapons? Otherwise it is a vulnerable heli. An dwhy are they opting for two seperate versions? Is there any difference cause I can’t find the technical details. Thanks if someone can hepl me on that.

About those T37’s. They were a pain cause they were just upgraded and the spare parts were boycotted. That was on of the main reasons why PAF not opted for more K8’s. The pilots showed clearly more love for the K8 and a few weeks ago I heard about a second batch and future options for some more. The production of this plane is extended and it is a run up for the production of the JF17. Stuill strange to see that Bangladesh opts for this plane. Must be a very cheap price cause otherwise no one would like to have these oldies.

The Gorskov is not important but the Hawk is a super choice. Not that the mig21 is that bad without proper training but India will enter the next era with one of the best trainers. I hoped that it was finalised.
