Mars is a tough and unforgiving place, I don’t think that it was due to Brit incompetence but more likely due to Mars and cheap landers don’t get along well.

I’m a bit confused, the Medium Combat Aircraft will be in the same weight class as the Su-30?
That does not make it very Medium!
and where is the mention of stealth features?
We already have a big boy around the block, unless the MCA is stealthy, hmm
and btw where does that leave the PAK-FA

Will the IAF be composed of MCA, LCA and PAK-FA in the future?

I wonder if this means that the Mirage deal is far off now.

Interesting
so any rumour as to how far DRDO has reached with the cruise missile development?

PLA and company please keep your highly technical knowledge for the FC-1 thread
I doubt that this Lakshaya would become a cruise missile, the rumour is for the Bhramos to become a land attack cruise missile in the future, that looks more realistic.

Ah the Pakistani hiding behind a Chinese name continues his moronic statements!
lol you are right, I am the one who wrote the bbc articles!
charges?
lol, I own bbcnews.com!

Can we stop being off topic
and to the loser who mentioned my name and my family’s link to RAW, I’m flattered lad but it was not me sir, it was Saleem Hatoum, the greatest one of them all, even h177 could not come close. Go ask him about F-22s, oh and h177 believed that the FC_1 could outmanouver the F-22 easily but that is a different story.
Please see you fact book, something called Encarta, it mentions India having the second highest muslim pop in the world, I understand that in Pakistan you guys are led to believe that the evil Hindu and Yahudi axis are busy killing all muslims and therefore, there can’t be any muslims left in India, but sorry facts appear to be different

Pakistan does not have much money for defence compared to India, they will eventually get BVRs but India will buy better ones and longer ranged ones, in fact I want Pakistan to get those missiles, nothing better to make our slow Indian bureaucracy speed up the arms buying process.
Pakistan having BVR missiles right now is speculation, I understand that your air force has a lack of good news, no new equipment for years etc etc but that does not mean that forum bandwith can be spent talking about speculation.
India getting Phalcons is not speculations
Su-30MKI is not a speculation
Both the Russians and Indians dont deny that the Gorshkov deal exists and that the signing will happen soon.
sorry to burst the coconut shell

And the tradition of having threads based purely on speculations continues. Funnily enough its always about the PAF. The PAF probably does not have BVR missiles now and it will take them some time to get it and intergrate it and of course be trained in using it! There should be no doubt that the PAF will eventually get BVRs, I mean come on, it is the 21st century isn’t it?
The only problem will be that with AWACs support, more money to buy longer range missiles etc, the IAF will still be a superior foe unless you believe those Pakdef members who believe that an F-7 can shoot down the Su-30 simply because it is being flown by an Indian pilot. Money will win any war and sorry but India has much more of that.
Looking forward to the future PaF getting rafales, MIrage 2000s, F-22s threads
peace
