All this hue and cry that China dosen’t care about India YADA YADA, at whom is this Chinese articles aimed to? Who are the readers of such articles?

Pardon me for the translations:

Recently Indian LCA official publicly declared a position, and expressed will participate in the international market the competition, the Earth people all knew this will only be snatches in front of the FC-1 test flight SHOW. Let alone its quantity produces also early, is the quantity produces also must use American the engine, whether exports also must look at American’s complexion. In fact Indian air force continuously carry on purchases Soviet -30MKI and the M-2000 plan. Also decided -21 and the jaguar carried on the performance promotion to the Mig, the resources investment remains for the LCA space already very is small. No wonder some people said LCA is early should the OVER east east, nothing but all previous years Indian government lacks the cancellation the courage. LCA most early proposed in the 80’s initial period, for resisted F-16 at that time which Pakistan purchased, but because the Indian own aviation research and development strength was limited, therefore still decided -29 approached France to the Soviet purchase Mig to purchase M-2000.

LCA transforms for if carries on the multipurpose light fighter plane which the height matches. 88 year HAL announces it conceives the chart time expresses its performance to have to surpass F-20. The LCA development except Indian our country company outside and so on the HAL also obtains like France to reach company’s the and so on rope, American LM assistance. And uses more overseas systems like 爱立信the PS-05 fire control radar, GE F-404 engine and so on. Although like this its development progress still three waves to a single stroke. On November 17, 1995 first frame technology confirmation machine TD-1 left the plant, the head flew originally plans in 96 years in July, latter postponed to 99 years in, finally in January 5, 2001 test flight, produced as for the quantity possibly also must wait till about 2008.

FC-1 is jointly develops by our country Chengdu airplane company and the Pakistani aviation synthesis company. This machine in 1987 proposed by the ultra -7 name. At the beginning of the 90’s because plan the change, changes name is FC-1. Is same with LCA, this machine besides China and Pakistan, Russia’s Mikoyan also provides the correlation the technical support. Russia also provides this machine RD-93A engine. Other foreign corporations including Italian FIAR Corporation, it provide FC-1 Grifo S-7. FC-1 estimated flies in this June, in 2005 the quantity produces.

Indian LCA light fighter aircraft Air operated layout LCA adopts the tailless 三角翼 layout, the air intake is located underneath the fuselage two sides wings. The airplane according to relaxes 静稳定度 the design, integrates 4 faxes flight control system, the reason two sections of types ailevator as well as the predestined affinity triadic seam wing carries on the control after the vertical stabilizer and the wing to the airplane flight attitude. The airplane uses the carbon fiber compound material, the aluminum lithium alloy as well as the titanium alloy and so on the advanced material. It repairing 三角翼 uses the carbon fiber compound material, installs on the fuselage, predestined affinity compound swept back, in section swept back angle small, outside the section is big. Big 扭转角, about the monolith outer covering use bolt installs on the wing box, majority of 翼肋 and 桁条uses the compound material manufacture. The predestined affinity is loaded with the triadic seam wing, the latter reason is two sections of types ailevator, the air current in the predestined affinity inside turbulent flow separator and under the inside seam wing together function, forms the turbulent flow in the wing root and the vertical stabilizer place. The speed brake is located above the fuselage the vertical stabilizer two sides. The vertical stabilizer, the rudder, the ailevator, the speed brake as well as the landing gear access panel has all used the compound material. This wing design is extremely unique, in particular to front raised front, but the outside generally suspected this design the rationality, outside thought the raised design can decrease LCA in fact the maneuvering performance. Moreover is big 三角翼 certainly does not conform to the short distance take off and landing requirement, therefore does not suit the ship-borne use. Because the LCA wingspan is smaller, because inevitably directs the shortcoming which causes the induced drag to increase. FC-1 adopts the normal arrangement. But has highlighted under the big angle of attack condition maneuvering performance, if uses the flat nose and the big side strip design, latter also may provide the airplane in high speed curve time extra lifting force, the airplane lets in air the inside the mouth to lean, 翼面 is similar with F-16 cuts the angle triangle, uses the broadside strip behind, and extends to after forms the strip concurrently to do 尾撑; Around the belt the reason flap 40 swept backs 梯形翼, the even tail, the vertical stabilizer process cuts the point to repair the shape; The leading edge extends the board also to enlarge. This kind of outlook design, very clearly shows off talent enhances the airplane the center low altitude to entangle fights the performance, simultaneously reduces the fuselage the radar wave echo area. Engine LCA uses is US’S F404-F2 engine. Uses takes into 气锥 ring-like air inlet. Has may adjust the import stator vane. The ventilator uses 3 levels of axes to flow the type width string solid titanium alloy fan blade. The high-pressured air compressor is 7 levels of axes flows the type. The high pressure turbine 1 level of axes flow the type. 气膜 adds the impact air cooling the turbine blade and the stator blade. The low pressure turbine 1 level of axes flow the type. Rene 80 manufactures hollow air cooled rotor blades. Thrust force is 4,800 kilograms. The thrust augmentation thrust force is 8,000 kilograms. The thrust ratio is about 7.8. FC-1 uses Russia’s RD-93A engine, it for Mig -29 RD-33 single shot. Except in supporting facility some differences, other performance basic is same. It uses 四级风 the fan, 9 levels of axes flow the type high pressure air compressor, the single stage high and low pressure turbine wheel. Thrust force 4,913 kilograms, thrust augmentation thrust force 8,140 kilograms. The thrust ratio is about 7.8. LCA cabin Cabin The LCA cabin designs by France. And center regards the monitor and four MFD-55 liquid-crystal display by HUD is composed. Provides “the synthesis numeral electronic installation” is by the equipment system, the management system management system (USMS), the propulsion system, the electrical system and the flight control system composes together. Its core is “32 duties computers”, can complete such as data computation duty and so on flight control, board installation self-checking. Duty computer software uses the American Department of Defense ADA language. System synthesizing capacity or quite good. The control system has used four faxes control system. The FC-1 cabin at present uses our country the equipment. The basic structure by the 1553B data bus joint, the main equipment has the duty computer, the pulse Doppler radar, is used to leads adds the global positioning system, outside hangs the management system management system, the identification of friend or foe system, the radar warning receiver, the foil strip/tracer shell delivery and the data transmission unit and so on. The operation contact surface for evenly reveals, the multi-purpose monitor and both hands does not leave the pole control system. But measures producing possibly to be able to use Italy has provided the comprehensive cabin system. It is composed by HUD and four LCD. May provide the pilot the good SA ability (the situation sensation to be able 力. Because the cost limits, FC-1 uses the pair of -odd ordinate axis fax control system. Radar LCA uses is 爱立信PS-05A. The working pattern includes: Empty: Long-distance search, nearby multi- goals 扫边 with, short range width angle rapid scanning, missile and artillery fire control open area: Sea level and ground object search, interception, topographical survey, missile fire control and so on. Amounts to 120 kilometers to the airborn target maximum search distance. May simultaneously track 10 goals and have at the same time the ability which joins battle with 4 goals, but because the LCA nose must be smaller than JAS-39, therefore has limited its antenna size. Its performance wants the synaeresis to be very many. FC-1 uses is FIAR Corporation’s Grifo S-7, its working pattern includes: Empty, open area, spatial sea, side 扫边 with and so on 25 kind of working patterns. It to the airborn target maximum search distance is 80 kilometers. May simultaneously track 8 goals. And may simultaneously join battle with 2 goals. Air-to-air missile LCA uses is Israel’s Germany is apart from the ball and the is strange snake -4 wrestle missile compared to the center. These two kind of missiles are use the homogeneous shell body to match the different detection unit to develop Cheng Ercheng. German ratio size is the length is 3.8 meters, the diameter 150 millimeters, the wingspan is 500 millimeters, the weight 118 kilograms. Power firing distance 60 kilometers. It used has been used to leads + end the active radar guiding way. Certainly has not used the assistance guidance method which the general instruction revises, therefore its long-distance ability is restricted. “The strange snake” 4 short-range air-to-air missile are western use first big off-boresight angle short-range air-to-air missile. The missile is loaded with the digital autopilot, its air operated design enables it to make 70g the mobility, the weight 105 kilograms, uses the double wave band infrared guidance department. The strange snake “4 characteristics are the control surface are very many, its high mobility is realizes through it altogether 18 air operated surface coordinated work. From the warhead will be four fixed forward wings in the future, the similar number goal deals with/drifts off course/rolls the feathering rotor, two horizontal direction entire flight aileron, four fixed gradually change the narrow side strip, on the rear part module 4 fixed wings, this rear part module once when launch opens by two brake children pine, may freely revolve in 滚转 the direction. Four side strip functions are induce the lift, and provides the structure rigidity for the shell body, specially burns through in the flight last stage propellant, again cannot increase the missile when the rigidity more needs. FC-1 air-to-air missile at present looked is in our country SD-10 is apart from the ball and the French magic -2 wrestle missile. SD-10 estimate uses the instruction to revise + relaying to be used to leads + the terminal guidance radar guiding way, above the power firing distance 80 kilometers, about effective range 60 kilometers. It uses uniquely cuts the sharp tail wing. Guaranteed it has a higher maneuvering performance. As for magic -2 can say is the present basic level disposition. This ball uses the double canard shaped air operated contour layout, 4 piece of stationary types cut the tree top triangle forward wing to be located the nose of missile, after after that is in front of 4 piece of active types the section trapezoid/section triangle composition rudder, 4 piece of swept backs trapezoidal rotary systems wing is located the missile tail. Uses the unit infrared guidance system. Precisely attacks to the place LCA may carry Israel Litt rather hangs the cabin, it already used in the Soviet -30MKI fighter bomber. Its equipment has the foresight infrared track system, the laser ranging/illumination system, the Czechoslovakia association is used to leads the system and so on. May amount to 20 kilometers to the tank size goal track distance. Provides weapon including France laser guided bomb and A S30 air-to-ground missile. Perhaps FC-1 uses is our country development “the blue light hangs the cabin”, says from many aspects, its and Israel’s Litt performance is rather similar. It provides weapon including laser guided bomb and air-to-ground missile. Anti-ship LCA at present can launch the anti-ship missile should have France the flying fish, its AM39 performance is: Maximum range 70 kilometers. Bullet weight 670 kilograms. 弹长4.69 meters, diameter 0.35 meter. Warhead weight 160 kilograms. Russia’s KH-35: The performance is: Maximum range 1,300 kilometers. Bullet weight 480 kilograms. 弹长4.4 meters, diameter 0.425 meter. Warhead weight 145 kilograms. FC-1 uses our country the C-802 anti-ship missile, its introduction model is C-802A. The performance index is: Maximum range 150 kilometers. Bullet weight 715 kilograms. 弹长6.4 meters, diameter 0.365 meter. Warhead weight 165 kilograms. In summary, may see LCA and the FC-1 basically not seniority order among brothers. FC-1 relies on is apart from the ball to occupy superiorly in the beyond line of sight air fight ability. LCA relies on FBW and the strange snake -4 can strive to defeat in the wrestle. Like precisely basic is same as for other to the place attack and the anti-ship ability. LCA although already test flight, but its system compatible question or quite is big, Israel, France and Russia are after all three different systems east east, but Italy and our country all use American the armed force sign, the system conformity wants easy many. Certainly this is only a very rough comparison, in fact the modern air fight is synthesizes the system the resistance. Including aspect and so on early warning direction, pilot quality, logistics support, electronic countermeasure. Moreover LCA and FC-1 in equipment and detail whether also do have the adjustment at present also to be unknown. Therefore possibly also can have the adjustment to its two contrasts.

The seeker is different, the war head is larger. Russia plans to induct it as PJ-10

So besides Coastal Defence Anti-Ship missions, what else is the ground mobile Brahmos going to be used by the Army?

http://www.rediff.com/news/2004/feb/05brah.htm

The land version of the 290km range Brahmos is capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads. It is mounted on a 12×12 drive carrier and is on display at the DRDO pavilion at the ongoing Defence Expo 2004 in Delhi.

DRDO officials said that a number of tests of the land version of the solid fuel missile had been carried out at the Interim Test Range at Balasore last November.

The scientists at the RDE engineering facility at Pune have now developed an indigenous heavy-duty Tatra-based carrier on which the missiles have been mounted, giving them all-terrain mobility.

The land-based Brahmos has a launch readiness time of five minutes. Officials said a group of launchers could form a battery under a command post.

The Brahmos missiles, DRDO officials said, were capable of being operational in nuclear, chemical and biological environment with the carriers being fitted with remote launch control systems.
