DRDO in talks with SNECMA on JV of Kaveri Engine, IAF clears engine specs
Tejas lands in Goa for Weapons trials
And some news regarding Tejas :diablo:
Meeting started at 3.00pm and ended at 5.30 pm , India has already calculated most of the works , and the two company Representatives were there to just verify the claims put up in the documents , so by now both Representatives know each others figure and pretty much know who will take the order and the winning company might just leak the news , unless difference , is less then 5 % , but if the difference is around 15-20 % , winner will be announced soon
I donot understand wht Mr shukla is trying to say ??
F-35 will not come with TOT , unless USA has personally assured Shukla
F-35 time line even ordered 2moro , we will not get them till 2020 at best , and will take 6 more years to complete the order , by that time even AMCA might had its first flight , and FGFA at least 100+ in service
MMRCA aircraft will not be back bone nor prime aircraft of IAF , it always be MKI and then FGFA post 2020
F-35 was observed and studies by Indian navy , but even they found that post 2020 purchase is just too late and have stuck with FGFA , since Naval variant will be developed .
Some points on what Indian Navy did, to select between Su-33 and Mig-29k
1) Production of both aircraft’s were stopped by that time
2 ) Both aircraft’s were tested by Indian naval pilots
3 ) Feedback taken from IAF , which operated both Su30mki and Mig-29
4) at last space is a real estate on a carrier , Mig-29k been smaller in size was selected has told to me by Naval pilot based in INS hansa , current fighter base of Mig-29k for Indian navy
US F414 engine for Tejas MK-2 will be till MLU of the aircraft’s occur , may be after 2025 , US F414 engines will be replaced by Kaveri-2 engines , same engines which will power AMCA by then
Is this a supplement to the LCH? I think most people are aware of the issues and limitations of the Apache. It is interesting how these contracts with the US are being passed or going through relatively quick compared to other purchases. C-130, C-17 and now the Apache 64D…
It will be temporary fill for Hind before LCH is inducted in large numbers in IAF and bigger numbers will go to Indian army
The lowest bidder means the RAFALE has already won. There is no way Eurofighter can undercut Dassault.. Indian contract could pave the way for more orders in rapid succession in Brazil,UAE, and Switzerland.
With UAE almost on the brink of ordering Rafale , every one is closely monitoring Indian MMRCA , Brazil seems to be watching even more closely, in terms of selection of aircraft’s only on performance and technical and avoiding any political interference , Indian MMRCA report will be much sort out after, to those countries ,who are interested in technical information of fighter aircraft .
Was it succesful ???
it has cleared EGR and will carry out Slow and fast Taxi trials soon and should have its first flight by first week of nov 11
