I am not one of those people who reflexively ignore & belittle adversaries. Yes I agree. you only do that with Indian products.
Our economy is also improving & will become excellent in few decades but right now how many big & critical industrial Indian products are in globally top-5 competition? Most things are imported. We always ask for ToT. ISRO succeeding but DoD lagging.
It will be better if you drop your mail here, if any IAF official sees it. then they may consult you on offensive strategies and what else can be atrributed to "Chalta hai" attitude.
But I guess what does he know, You are afterall working in MNC environment and must know better than him who has "CHALTA HAI" attitude.
GoI, IAF, DoD have already worked with civillian engineers & wan't to involve far more, but you wanna abuse us.
The CHALTA HAI ATTITUDE accusation is not towards entire organisation of DoD, but to a subset of people, bcoz 1000s of people are working in there with different role, capability, opinions as well. Many people inside IAF, ADA, DRDO, HAL might be frustrated as well for the delays. May be many good practical ideas were rejected leading to frustrated employees, resignations.
The ADA gentleman in video said that
a lot of avionics & other stuff have come from private sector, means civilian techies like me. Whether it is DoD techie, or civillian techie, both are same humans with same potential.
You don't wan't private sector participation?
You don't wan't Indian students passing out of colleges to be inteligent, effective, good techies, work in good MNCs?
You don't desire to work in good company with good position, facilities, salary?
Small & big IT & other MNCs are involved in projects like LCA, AMCA, etc.
Do you notice WIPRO, TCS in box of Bengaluru?
I've worked with some of these firms. May be currently also be i'm part of 1 of these firms. May i'm working on something related to Defence. 
I always tell that
no need to trust me, focus directly on technology.
There are
10s of 1000s of techies like me passing out of colleges every year. No matter who you ask, you will get identical response from technical PoV w/o prejudice.
I also tell that my college senior was batch topper, cracked GATE exam, worked on LCA project & told us that
1000s of DoD employees in ADA, DRDO, HAL, IAF & any tech company also have difference opinions.
I'm a low IQ techie, i was excellent in programming in school & college but never good with PCM hence couldnt get through screenng tests based on PCM to reach interviews & become a good coder, hence working in DataCenter tech in sys-admin & tech-support profiles. But
DoD has requirement of CAD professionals which they consider high value, which people like me can fulfil. Too late for me but youngsters can apply.
So don't misunderstand & attack others personally 
w/o considering how many diagrams, pics, graphs, tables, calculations, own ideas, drawings, sketches, threads, etc someone has contributed here.
Abusing, using slangs, calling critics or correction makers as D*mb F**kers , etc, is a proof of incapability of presentation & comunication skills, lack of knowledge, poor comprehension, etc. You won't be able to take these slangs on yourself either.
In the above video, ADA guy clearly said since AMCA will have conformal EOTS and pods are for testing of prototypes.
we all understand that a prototype is just TD hence uses many older gen components to save time, cost like landing gear, cockpit components, sensors, auxilliary components, etc. We could see that in YF-22/23, X-35 as well.
X-35 didn'thave EOTS, IWB, HMDS, etc.
But
public depiction of static models, infographics, animation, etc should be as close to final product as possible as it builds psycologicalimpressions, confidence, security, private investment, etc. Stock markets graphs rally up/down based on these news, depictions, predictions. It can affect supply chain & logistics.
External pod & EOTS are totally different products, have different gen, dimensions, assembly & S/w programming.
Hence external pod depiction even for testing, after 30 years of EOTS tech revealed on F-35 means our EOTS team has fallen way behind schedule.
There is still public confusion & concern that 1st IOC batch of AMCA MK1 may have these external pods.
Some people earlier even said that 1st batch MK1 will have semi-recessed AAM stations like in KF-21.
If a precise question about 1st batch of AMCA MK1 can be asked & answered, i can take a breather.
But still at least i made a dipomatic reply that if these pods are jammers or DEW, then can be made hexagonal or some stealthy shape with RAM, RAS. Take example of F-22's MLU pod:
I am not doubting Chinese tech, rather acknoledging their prowess by saying its a given for any 15+trillion dollar economy to have world class jets. calling them chinkies and porks hurt yoour soul but here you are doubting IAF's strategies and planning.
Would YOU, ME & other Indians like to be abused abroad or online by foreigners? Most foreign movies already depict us badly.
Indian IT engineers, Medical & in other domains also, have to work online, sometimes F2F with Chinese, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, Middle-East people & other potentially hostile nations. But we just do our part of work.
There is big difference b/w criticizing & abusing. But i do criticize USA, EU, China, Pak, BD, etc where needed.
If you use such slang language in international office, you'll be fired immediately & professionally black-listed.
If you use such language abroad, you'll face immediate social & legal consequences.
Please stop this typical youngster slang/abusive mentality in international forum.
Don't you watch news what IAF Chief said yesterday & before? Today they are unhappy with HAL, tomorrow it could be with ADA, DRDO. Who predicted that IAF Chief can pass such comments?
IAF is just operator, not designer, not manufacturer, nor R&D wing,
We live in democracy, pay tax, can question anything looking to lag or out of line.
AMCA is a medium weight class and cannot extend it IWB without compromising its structure. no wait, that must be their chalta hai attitude,
What compromise exactly? Why we always want the world to do eveything 1st?
AMCA's IWB is 4.2m long X 2.2m wide. I have already shown by many scaled diagrams that 6 staggered short-fin AAMs can fit in easily. Go check my previous posts.
If AMCA's IWB can be widened & Astr-2 AAMs staggered then similar to F-22, 6 Astr-2 AAMs can fit.
In A-G only mode, it may allow total 16 SAAW bombs.

In persuit of improvements, there might be some
good news.
The unofficial tweet might be true. I lately got an infographic showing AMCA's IWB dimensions to be 4.2m long, 2.2m wide, 0.75m height. Thanks to
@AGNI 6 ICBM
The dimension is not mentioned in many other posters.
The Astr-1,2,3 AAMs have same length 3.84m. But unfortunately due to big fins of...
Your associate Kuntal Biswas made early CAD of 2 Astr-3 SFDR /bay, total 4 AAMs, but pic is angled, the bay is short with big gap in between.
View attachment 19111
He has also made multiple CADs of Astr-3 SFDR BUT with
different fin & ramjet intake dimensions.
View attachment 19066
The 3rd one is the only one with bottom view so if we resize it with IWB then still it will be a
TIGHT UNSAFE fit of 3 staggered AAMs/bay.
And if we consider 3 staggered Meteors (AAM CAD by artist "AkelaFreedom") then although it is 6" shorter but its intakes & fins seem to be wider & overflows out of bay...
If the Ramjet intake is shortened then 6 Astr-3 SFDR AAMs might fit relatively better. But there could be military safety specs which may or may not allow this.
View attachment 19902
We see Akash-1 SAM also has Ramjets which don't extend all the way backwards.
View attachment 19901
The intake fairing in Meteor is long bcoz it houses some electronics, fin actuators. Same could be with Astr-3 SFDR. But if the AAM body can be adjusted then it can favor AMCA.
View attachment 19900
Continuing on this agenda of internal load, 2 days back someone shared PL-15E AAM with folding fins from Zhuai airshow. AFAIK...
Look at YF-22 Vs F-22, X-35 Vs F-35. So yes it is their "chalta hai" attitude, if they don't do it.
afterall why didn't they make heavy class aircraft? ohh wait the engine are underpowered for heavy class they must have negleted that in planning with their "chalta hai" attitude
Are you aware of AHCA concept study thread?
CAUTION/DISCLAIMER:
- This thread is inspired by global tech evolution, R&D & big jets like Su-3X including Naval variant Su-33.
- On casual forum, there is no need to wait for official govt. or DoD statements.
- Neither global tech evolution waits for lagging countries, nor Discussions for every component to mature & be available.
>Some day upgraded Super-Su-30MKI will need replacement by similar size & weight jet due to technological advancement, requirement of 5th-6th gen. Even after Super-Sukhoi upgrade which is analogous to Su-35-S, the RCS & IRS will be quite high.
>The radars...
YF-22/23 revealed in 1990, 35 years passed now.
What will be Su-30MKI replacement?
What will be future naval stealth jet?
Why MWF just inflated from LCA but not given steath treatment?
When they will be initiated then take 20 years to develop & inducted?
Why ADA not commenting on these things?
Why not negotiate AL-31/41 or F-100/110 engines for better jet like Turkey using for Kaan?
Keep watching news channels. In future the IAF people will start asking above questions.
