Well I certainly beleive its yet to be proven. NG has not performed the compatibility assesment. I must admit though for it to have the stage where the operator (IN) is contracting a study then it must look on paper at least to be doable. More power to the In if they can get E-2s on their CVs, its certainly a very capable aircraft. Not sure its really necessary though.

I met the NG guys. They have already done the study and they found it as a fit. They inform me that IN too has come to the same conclusion. I am in touch with the top two guys who are negotiating with IN.

Tejas being integrated with weapon systems, multi-mode radar

BANGALORE, FEB 3 (PTI)
Work on weapon systems and integration of the multi-mode radar in Tejas, the home-grown Light Combat Aircraft has begun while three prototypes of the supersonic fighter have flown 340 test sorties.

Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), the design agency for the LCA, a unit of DRDO, today said three Tejas aircraft have been flying upto an altitude of 15 km, speed of Mach 1 . 4 and angle of attack of 20 degrees and Gravity Pull (G) of over 4.5 to minus 1.0 G limits during test flights.

“Tejas has so far completed over 187 hours of flight test in 340 flight test sorties on three prototype aircraft,” an ADA statement said.

Gp Capt R K S Bhaduria, test pilot for ADA and National Flight Test Centre (NTFC) today completed his 100th flight test sortie on Tejas, becoming the second pilot after Sqn Ldr Suneet Krishna to fly 100 sorties of the LCA.

Eight test pilots of the Indian Air Force have evaluated these aircraft, including Air Cmde R K Sharma, the present project director (Flight test).

“The handling qualities as well as the performance of these aircraft have been adjudged superb,” ADA said.

The fourth prototype (PV-2) is undergoing systems integration test prior to its clearance for flight.

The single-engine, tailless, delta-winged, fly-by-wire supersonic fighter currently is powered by an American GE-404 engine. DRDO is developing an indigenous Kaveri engine for Tejas being designed to replace the aging MiG aircraft of the Indian Air Force from the next decade.

Thanks Austin.

That MiG-29k must be photoshoped.

Yakhont is a russian missile. Brahmos is MiG-21 with Yakhount Airframe. Its so simple. I have a radio that looks like coco cola bottle. You see the same principle.

Most of the stuff i got is confidential. Someday i will share with you. 🙂

Brute – if missile inlet looks like Mig-21 inlet doesnt mean anything. As long as it do what it is intended for Indians dont care.

On what basis u are saying it will crash before taking off.

Photoshop missile 😀 – good observation for a brute gorilla.

Hey cinciboy! Ignore Harry. Afterall he is just an expert. You have terrific observation capacity. I have loads of information on photoshoped Brahmos. It will be usefull to exchange notes if you have any with you. You have no idea what these Indians photoshop and induct in their armed forces. I have too many facts. 😮

See when Indian MiG-21 takes of with a pilot, it actually flies and then crashes. Imagine it is used as a missile, then there is no pilot, hence it will automatically crash. The Mig-21 inlet is 2nd generation inlet, right? How can it perform supersonic? 😡
