Look before you guys buy the report- doesnt it appear a bit bizarre?

Seawolf missiles?

Buying so many ships with no reports of designs etc only based on some stuff about a new alloy?

Claims of Thales being preferred when every IN guy lauds the local sonars- even the new Krivaks have BEL ones. The IN is committed to local sonars designed for its needs…they’re better than what we get from abroad so the IN sticks by them.

The entire article seems fishy…

Many countries appear to use the above tactic- the RSAF and the PAF come to mind as two AF’s which are heavily advertised as being regular practitioners of the above. Or at the very least, have factored that in their plans…

Superb post Airsande- ties in well with what I have heard as well!

Thanks.

The acceleration bit brings back fond memories- one claim I have heard is that its next to impossible to catch a Flogger “on the deck”. In the hands of a skilled and calm pilot the MiG23BN can outrun almost any adversary.

The problem with all these studies- done by Teal and F&S, is that they are far too generic. The market is neither clearly defined in the above nor are cases analysed with depth. Both India and China are out of any future sales- each would prefer kits homegrown product to ramp up its respective AJT fleet.

I am afraid you have done precious little:

1. You have provided no data to support the assertion that Sea Eagles have poor ECM and can be relatively jammed.

2. It has already been remarked that the IN has no need to buy new Sea Eagles with the Brahmos A and the Su30 MKI combination earmarked for the Naval strike role as well.

3. Furthermore, the Sea Eagles in the IN inventory are quite serviceable.

All the best!

Has the deal been signed yet?

The FMS is but a proposal.

A lot of FMS stuff to India is yet to see the light of the day.
Hardly certain.

Pak may hold out again for something else….

So if there is official article in AFM mag then it is not the truth? O.. I forgot. Yo Indians ask tpae recordings of the interviev and since I was not there it is not evidence… Sure.

What official article? What nonsense. Either posit your position or avoid the thread and spare us the amusement at your shenanigans.

About not having r&d… How can one design engine and not having R&D?

The test facilities in question- note for your troubled grasp of the English language- “test facilities”- include a flying testbed. Which India can avoid spending on.
That is quite different from a generalized gibberish on R&D.

Just honestly tell that the Russian do it for you. Just like Brahmos which is Yakhunt.

The Indian contribution to the Brahmos project- includes a Navattack system based on an Onboard computer, INS, Fire control electronics, elements of the propulsion system, software for the entire integrated system, parts of the land based launcher and guidance system.

Like I said- kindly do not extrapolate the Pak China relationship elsewhere.

Typical to call others trolls. Reported.

Your babbling speaks for itself. So does your rather childish rage at anyone rebutting your claims.
