Agreed, a smaller nation with lesser nukes will loose more people & assets. But that doesn't mean that India will sit tight with its 150+/- nukes. So the larger nation also will loose many significant cities, there can't be zero impact even if many nukes are intercepted.
Nothing will happen when the defence budget is 60 yr low as % of gdp which also makes me believe the premier actually means it when he says it is not an era of war.
I was just prioritising a clear LoS over everything
Interestingly in E2s, the idli is just ever so slightly above the vertical stabilizer...clearing them from LoS
Make, make is the keyword here me Guy.
How long are we gonna keep buying.
Especially when you guys are flying 5.5-6th gen planes back there
Interestingly it was developed especially for us with Phalcon radar
But with technologies that have matured during the past decade, we can definitely bring down the weight. Especially more energy efficient AESA technologies.
Why add the drag of additional struts when you can use the existing airframe more efficiently.
Because you'd get slightly better coverage as there won't be a vertical stabilizer in the LoS
Nope, it's not very far out from the horizontal stabilizers which are further lower.
Aisa stall hoga koi bachane nahi ayega.
I'd appreciate a better explanation than "LOL" on why that design won't be flying. You know if you put some effort in an argument then you kind of expect equal in the counter argument. Don't you?
Funny story, when I was a kid and saw a Nimitz Class carrier for the first time on Outlook's front page...I was completed bamboozled by E2 Hawkeyes. Helicopter I knew, fighters too but what's this plane like thing with helicopter like thing on top?
the maiden flight of the other project took place days ago...as usual, few photo would be released.
The political and military high command need to have some shame, a sense of responsibility or slight competency to not be able to sleep peacefully. But they all live in delulu land so they will be sleeping peacefully. Heck, they dont even care that we cant even manage to get 4.5 gen fighters from the last 20+yrs. Our system is so fucked up, even people who want to change the system gets sucked up and gets changed by the system. We are so fucked boys. This is what happens when you introduce democracy to illiterate backward sub humans.
This is the way. India needs more IADs, more domestic missile production capacity, drones, etc.
Are bhai. It's literally over. We have lost the race for air dominance. Earlier i used to think that with 42 squadrons we might just be able to deter any enemies but russian- ukraine war showed that We not only need numbers but we also need advanced fighters, right now we should have our own amca and mk2 flying but it's still in early stages. No push for domestic engines.
