Mig-35 mania

I’v got close to 60 shots of this bird. Here is a sample:

Hello folks,

I’d been to Aero India 07 yesterday (9th Feb). Thanks to some high ranking contacts of my friend’s dad, i got to get into the cockpit of the Mig-35 and the Super Hornet….and not to mention some sweet Dassault Falcon private jets….climed up to take a look into the Gripen’s cockpit as well, although i did not get to sit in it.

The highlight for me however was pics&handshakes with the king of mysore – shrikanthadatta waidar, Charles Edelstenne form Dassault and some Russian chicks.

I’ll post some pics shortly.

space technology :confused:

IMHO Lockheed’s block70/NG F-16 offer is equally good.

Features :

> Range extended with addition of fuselage mounted conformal fuel tanks and wing tanks.
> Northrop Grumman AN/APG-80 “Agile Beam Radar” AESA radar
> Northrop Grumman AN/ASQ-28 IFTS (Internal FLIR and Targeting System)
> F110-GE-132 turbofan, rated 32,500 lbs thrust
> New Modular mission computer has a processing throughput of 12.5 million instructions per second and provides sensor and weapons integration.
> ALQ-165 electronic countermeasures system, also known as the Airborne Self-Protection Jammer (ASPJ)
> New electronic warfare management system
> Fiber-optic avionics data bus
> Up to eight chaff/flare dispensers,
> New advanced friend or foe detection system
> New pilot-aircraft interface by incorporating three advanced 5-inch by 5-inch color displays.
> new M4.2+ avionics suite provides Rafale like “omnirole” abilities.

“This F-16 represents the latest and greatest that the US has to offer.” – Royce Caplinger, Lockheed Martin

“.. we are prepared to make upgraded F-16s to India’s specifications with complete transfer of technology“ Mike Kelly, Lockheed Martin.

So, does anybody here think that this proposed joint PAK-FA can achieve F-22 like performance and incorporate raptor like technology ?
