Making emojis will not change reality. F16 in 1970s did not have high end radar guided BVR and that is why cannons became important in Vietnam. Have some sense before you say anything.
Accha so why does even F-35 have cannon? This is perfect example of how you are putting the cart before the horse. Tejas gun is uncertified so you say gun is not necessary? So if Tejas had gun but BVR was not certified you will say BVR is unnecessary? Don't let the tail wag the dog.
All I see launching from Tejas is Israeli Derby missile.
and UTTAM radar is quite close to being inducted.
Frame this line. We will talk again in 5 years.
India already has developed algorithm for BARS radar
Tell me what algorithm for Bars did India develop.
and making UTTAM is mainly about TR modules rather than basic algorithms.
Are you drunk?
India does not want to rush into getting UTTAM prematurely as it is best to get fully developed and certified radar than rush. But that does not mean it is not fit enough or that it will take ten years to arrive.
10 years is actually very valid time period for ANYONE to develop a new AESA radar. Russians been working on AESA for almost 15 years and operational model is still not ready. We are a long time from having a fully operational UTTAM that we can put on any aircraft and send it to war.
That does not matter whether blue whale was grandfather or grandmother of stealth. What matters is that it was unusable without computerised FBW. Stealth planes require a balance between aerodynamics and stealth which in turn needs computerised controls.
Accha. F-16 had computerized FBW because it was inherently unstable design straight from the start (1970s). Show me where is the stealth in that.
Tejas has FBW. So LCA is a stealth fighter?
Indigenisation means made in India.
Indigenous means the revenue from building something goes to Indian company. Not to some company from abroad. If the money is going out of India (which is the case for Su-30, Barak or the dozen other licensed manufacturing we do), then you have very skewed understanding of what we are talking about.
Only retards call assembly as indigenous. You may be that but not me. Su30 MKI is indigenous, for example whereas Jaguar is not. That is the difference.
Accha if we make heavy-class H-MRCA like Su-30MKI indigenously, then why are we having so much trouble making a small L-MRCA like Tejas?
If we are making a big PESA like Bars indigenously, then why we are unable to build ever a proper slotted-array radar for Tejas? Why we are forced to import ELM-2032 from Israel?
If we are making a huge turbofan like AL-31FP indigenously, then why are we unable to make even a small propeller engine for HTT-40? Why are we forced to import Honeywell engine from US?
Here read this about test trials on Tejas LSP-2 with UTTAM radar. It has already been fitted. YOu are living in fantasies assuming whatever you want without having any logic or reason behind the timelines or assumptions you make.
You are a moron. UTTAM been fitted for ground test, we even saw picture of that. LSP-2 was flying sorties prior to being fitted with UTTAM, not with it.
And that is meant to be indigenised over time just like Su30 was indigenised.
Another poor fool who mistakes screwdrivergiri for indigenous make.
So, regardless of whether it is BARAK-8 or not, it will be made in India and called MRSAM/LRSAM.
There is no MRSAM/LRSAM if you disregard Barak-8.
Yeah, that missile is called SA-6. KUB is a new name I heard and had to check in internet.
SA-6 is NATO name. Kub is original Russian name. Do you call S-400 as S-400 or do call it SA-21?
Anyway that is not the point. The point is that Akash is a copy of Kub.
Nevertheless, Akash has top speed of 2.5-3 Mach whereas SA-6 has 1.8-2 Mach. That makes all the difference.
Wow congratulations on making a small improvement over a missile that first flew in early 1960s!
Yeah, I mentioned why there was no proper BVR missiles in vietnam war and cannon became important. But the same BVR worked in Gulf war 1 & 2.
BVR? There was no proper WVRAAMs itself in Vietnam War. But the lesson which was learnt is that cannon is indispensable piece of equipment regardless of how advanced your missiles are. Disregard such lessons at your own peril. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it again.
^^ Those are jets far more advanced than Tejas and they all carry cannons for a reason. Unless you think you know more about air combat than IAF or USAF. And to tell the truth, even HAL and ADA agree that cannon is necessary - which is why they designed it into Tejas in the first place! They failed to make it work that is separate problem.
And you're honestly just making up excuses for their failures. If they really thought it was unnecessary why will they design it there in first place?
That was the first time FOC date was mentioned and that date has been sticking. If you hear the same thing 112 times does not make it anything new.
Tejas was supposed to be in service as of turn of the century as per words of APJ Abdul Kalam when he was in DRDO! The guys running the PSUs have no credibility, they eat their own words all the time so shamelessly that it is become a routine.
We who have been following Indian defence programs for about last 8 years know this only too well.
How is Arihant too slow? What makes Arihant so slow? Do you know that Kilo class submarine weighs 2400tons and has 5MW propulsion? The propulsion of Arihant class is 90MW with maximum electricity of 30MW. The propulsion is much higher than what Kilo class submarine would have even if scaled to 6000 ton weight.
The Scorpene submarines have 4-6MW for 2000ton weight. Scaling to 6000ton, we get propulsio as 12-18MW. With some extra needs, it can go upto 20MW. The propulsion of Arihant can be entire power of the reactor whereas the electricity generation is generally 33%. Even if we take electric generation alone, the power is more than enough to get good speed. So, the arihant has powerful reactor sufficient for propulsion as SSN.
Uh...you seem to have forgotten the fact that Arihant is a nuclear submarine and does not need to come up for air while Kilo and Scorpene have to surface every now and then. That's why for them low power output is enough. They can recharge their batteries when they surface. Arihant has to do this underwater and under its own power.
Yes there are. China's first SSBN was only marginally larger than Arihant. And the first SSBN ever built (American) was even lighter than Arihant.
In fact it is easier to make big submarines than small ones as miniaturisation is a difficult process.
There is no miniaturization. There is just less stuff.
This is like saying hatchback is a miniaturized SUV. Such comments come from people who don't really understand the meaning of the words they are saying. How is it miniaturized? The steering wheel on hatchback is the same size as the steering wheel on SUV. Both are designed to accommodate the same 6 ft tall human being.
A miniaturized SUV means this:
