What’s wrong with my posts? I just did one or two posts that stating there is no existent, at least for now, of LCA+AESA. Isn’t that true?

Ridiculous. You made a slam on Indian posters in general. There is a way to talk and you obviously chose not to do it.

There is no need to yell. You can make any generalization about J10 if you want, as long as you are making sense with logic and reasoning. And have a good support for your statement, not just some silly statement without any valid explanation.

Please dont make me laugh- if I do what you just did, you would be the first to come & yell.

No one said you insult J10, don’t be so overreact. It is just some statement you made in this thread need clarification, and just wonder how you come up with that kind of statement. It seems like you cannot answer or give explanation to your own “QUOTE”. Then, starting to ask MOD to lock the thread and accusing of other posters flaming.

More nonsense. I gave clarifications galore, in fact more than I should have. I asked the admins to lock the thread, to avoid the puerile kind of posts you are making. Because ultimately you cannot see the wood for the trees and only see what YOU want to see, namely that the honor & dignity of the J-10 has been somehow offended & of course, you have to retaliate via some inflammatory rhetoric.

Just like I said, if you have anything to say about J10, go ahead and participate in that thread. No need to bring that here. But just make sure you have the logic and reasonable explanation. Otherwise, just become another Flagger.

Right. That thread belongs in the trash can, and so do the kind of attacks that are littered throughout the thread, dripping with invective against a poster – so much for rational arguementation. And I have no interest in becoming a “John Woo” or a “Flogger” – I am perfectly happy being myself.

The 77 is a big boost over the 63 series or even the 79.

Anyone who has sailed around Bombay harbour cannot notice the huge congestion that exists.The danger from “bumboats”,fishing vessels,ferries and other flotsam and jetsam that masquerades as being part of the global merchant fleet,is a real danger to anything on the high seas.The Bombay Port Trust authority must draw up new rules for merchant shipping,perhaps large scale illumination of all merchant ships at a pre-determined distance from the harbour,plus some other means by which “bum-boats” can be sighted at night when within the danger zone. “

For initial flight tests, Dr. Harinarayana says, an agreement has been signed with Russia for loan of a Tu-16 twinjet, on which the test Kaveri will be mounted in a ventral pod. Engine tests are also planned at a high-altitude test facility, as an important feature of the Kaveri for operation in hot-and-high conditions is flat rating of the engine to maintain thrust to higher temperatures and altitudes. The production Kaveri, with a reheat thrust of 20,200 lbs. (80kN), will be more powerful than the 17,000 lbs. Snecma M88-2 now powering the twin-engined Rafale. It matches the output of the uprated M88-3. GTRE says a growth version of the Kaveri will have a turbine entry temperature of 1 ,8500 C and single-crystal turbine blades being developed by GTRE with the Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory. Directionally solidified blades are now used.

The new variant, which India says will be at the technology level of the M88, will have a fan pressure ratio of 4:1 and an overall pressure ratio of 27:1. A new combustor will be shorter and lighter than the present unit. The increased, unspecified, dry thrust should allow the aircraft to super cruise (cruise supersonically without the use of reheat). Also under development is a thrust-vectoring nozzle, to enhance its agility, as well as a digital engine control system. The axisymmetric TV nozzle is planned to be flight tested on a later prototype. The nozzle could possibly permit the elimination of the vertical stabiliser and decrease the radar cross section. Plans are already under way for derivatives of the Kaveri; a non-afterburning version for an advanced jet trainer, a high bypass-ratio turbo fan based on the Kaveri core, as well as variants for other applications.

Its all about money..India can now afford to tie up with other partners and push the Kaveri program forward once it gets productionized in another five years time..

Saw the video. Love the new CAMO, its a lot better than the old white one. How many hard points are there on the LCA? I have seen 7 and 8 being quoted and one website also quotes 7 weapon + 1 for EW pod.

Seven + One (LDP/ EW pod).

Swerve, you are saddling the Indian services with yet another aircraft type. They seemed to be doing blessedly well with all their political masters, even before you stuck your oar in! :p

I dont think the Vikings are required because the Jaguars are – to be honest not the only ones tasked with anti shipping strikes. The other ones are MiG-27s which operate regularly from KKD, with a fairly regular anti ship, low level flying routine. Though they rely on dumb bombs!

But to get back to the point, the reason why both these types dont need S-3s to supplant them is …the Su-30 MKI. Sukhoi squadrons are colocated with the Jaguar one, and are also apparently to be tasked with anti ship missions. That aircraft has the range, and the payload, plus (in future)- the Brahmos, to put a world of hurt on any naval flotilla foolish enough to venture close enough without any sort of organic aircover.

That HUD seems huge! Whats that panel beside it? The long rectangular one?

The forward view appears cluttered, but that could be because of the angle the pic is taken, from personal experience I know that you really dont “get” the view, unless you are in the pilots seat, literally.

Am sure the radar view will be (as is the norm on Russian fighters) available on that HUD itself, plus there is the HMD.

Awesome situational awareness!

So ignore him. If there are a dozen posters saying the opposite and you know what you are saying to be true, convinced etc- then let him be. He is equally convinced that he is correct, and just shouting him down is pointless, dont you think?
