Wow, you guys sound so ‘professional’. Jackasses, the only one who is close to being a professional is me, as I am the only one here with a university degree.

Now, I’m no so familiar with all the N001 or whatever names, but, answer me this: Why are the Chinese buying so many Russian weapons. I thought the Chinese hate to lose face. By buyingso many foreign stuffs, don’t they lose face?

I have been called a professional student once…… 😀

I am talking about like the ops in NE in early december, where IA had to go against usual lot of 1000’s of ULFA buggers.

IA only provided logistical support. RBA did all the fighting. 🙂

Then again, NE is not crawling with stingers or SA7/14/16/18s (did i get them right?) So choppers will do fine. 😉

India’s first indeginous turbojet engine – the HAL HJE-2500,

You’d rather not know why the engine did’nt make it into service. 😡

Why? 😉

Sharma. It was just a copy paste from the magazine we all know here (AFM). Why don’t you write them to correct this in the next edition? Man. Some just can’t move their complex and share the joy of aviation.

PLA, the “News” you posted is atleast 4 months old. Its not “News” anymore. I don’t see any reason why that must be posted here unless you are trying to flame. 😡

True enough, HAL will surely need to be building up more production lines, I don’t know if its optimal, just think about it, Mirage line, LCA line, Sukhoi line, MiG-29K maintainance, jag maintainance, MiG-27 upgrade etc etc etc, that is a lot, one thing is for sure, HAL will be helping out the unemployment rate for years to come.
The new Government minimum program draft is out and for defence it talks about speeding up defence procurements and using all the defence funds allocated in buying defence equipment as fast as possible and not letting the fund sit and end up being returned to the Gov at the end of the financial year, see we told you that defence procurement would not change.

Permanent Defence fund was setup by NDA. No longer will the funds go back to govt every year 😀

So, does anybody know if the T-90 will be able to trap on the Gorshkov without extensive modifications to its landing gear?

😀

Sure it can. But Russians and Indians are working on a CAT to launch it. 😎 😀

and J-10 use 22% composite
material in body if not morel.

Source?

That’s true about user requirements. Japan matches the US in importing Chinese made stuff, and the Japanese are extremely quality conscious.

Every race on this planet is quality concious. Every one wants to buy products that last forever :rolleyes: .

When you mention that Japanese are quality concious, you have to realize that they understood/realized that quality pays sonner and kind of made it into a religion. 😀
