| GUEST24452 | By latest reports India declined to buy the advanced Mig 35s for cost related reasons. They only decided to upgrade their older Mig 29 fleet for much lesser fees. And I have seen and read about their "Tejas" LCA scheduled for launch in 2012. I found that to be a big joke, at least comparing to what the Chinese & Pakistanis had developed jointly, their MCA fighter jets back in 2006. After 25 years!?!?! of research and development the Indians recently realized in order to keep it cheap they had ordered an engine from GE so weak that it will be able to lift the plane only but will not be able to support any payload. Back to the drawing board guys. |

| GUEST35219 | Pakistan has no technical contribution to the Joint fighter project. Its totally a chinese plane with cost sharing with pakistan. Moreover, It will be better to compare the JF with joint India-Russia PAK -FA 5th Gen fighter project. Developing Fighters is very a complex job. It took SNECMA more than 20yrs to come with Rafale despite of having exp in producing adv fighters like Mirage 2000. So, LCA project is also taking its due course and given India is still a new player in Defence Aviation, It has done a very fine job by mastering various key techs like composite material airframes, Fly by wire air control system and is in process of developing its own fighter engines, EW suites, BVRs etc. |

| GUEST27113 | Hello, I'm usually a member at China Defence Forum. The Air Force of India might be the strongest branch of the Indian military. Its ground forces are so so and its Navy are alright. Its ground forces still rely on Russian armor speaking of T-90S since the Arjun did not satisfy the Indian Army's expectations. The Navy of India has aircraft carrier for years in service using the MiG-29K(?). But it lacks in modern surface combatants in the class of PLAN's 054A frigates, 051C and 052C destroyers or JMSDF's Kongu class destroyers. Although India used to be China's big rival in the past, a possible military threat between these two Asian giants is very unlikely, since India won't become a puppet for the NATO so easily. OK back to this topic: The MiG-35, latest variant of the MiG-29 is an up to date 4th generation fighter jet similar to the J-10, Mirage2000-5, F-16CBlock50, F/A-18C etc for sure. While older MiG29A and S were still outfitted with outdated avionics and no Fly-By-Wire, this one is a real killerbird at close and medium range. |

| GUEST95104 | It is the most vital secret kept as the strategic defense initiative in India. It is an achievement of DRDO (Defense Research and Development Organization) in India that keeps India confident of winning the next war with Pakistan in hours. The secret lies in stealth non-nuclear precision deep penetration bombs that will devastate Pakistani or Chinese nuclear capabilities in minutes. Israel and America have similar capabilities. Pakistani nuclear and missile installation are deep underground. Pakistan took the North Korean and Chinese technologies to harden their nuke bases against incoming Indian or Western missiles. The question is how deep can you go? The crust of the earth is close to 30 miles. You can hardly go five or six miles down. The deep penetrating bombs does not have to reach that far. A computer simulated coordinated series of deep penetration can isolate the target and generate enough harmonic tremor to automatically seal the site for ever. Asserting that Pakistan will continue to increase its defense capabilities, President Pervez Musharraf has said the country's nuclear and missile installations are safe even from a nuclear strike. The low tech Pakistani General is too confident of Pakistani deep underground facilities. India monitors these Pakistani strategic sites continuously using signal, satellite, field intelligence and remote viewing techniques. "The security and safety of our nuclear and missile power is so much that if God forbid there is a nuclear attack on Pakistan, this would not be affected," Musharraf said on the occasion of the 130th birth anniversary of founder of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Jinnah at his mausoleum in Karachi on Sunday night. Indian scientists in DRDO is ready to take these installations out in minutes. |

| GUEST95104 | Two Indian Air Force (IAF) Sukhoi-30MKI combat jets have been sent to Russia for a retrofit that would enable them launch the aerial version of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile that India and Russia have jointly developed, an official said. "The aerial version of the BrahMos missiles will be delivered from the Su-30MKI platform. We were in talks with Sukhoi and the IAF for it. Finally two Su-30MKIs of the IAF have been sent to Russia for retrofitting," a senior official of BrahMos Aerospace that manufactures the missile, told IANS, speaking on condition of anonymity. "The aerial version of BrahMos is coming along very well. After being programmed, the missile will be released from the aircraft and will auto-launch towards its target when it reaches an altitude of 50 metres," the official explained. "The aerial version is nearly nine metres long and this requires modifications of the aircraft's fuselage. Since the Sukhoi company is busy with designing a fifth generation fighter, (India's) DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) scientists, along with Russian experts, will carry out the necessary modifications," the official said. The modifications will be completed by early 2010. Once this happens, BrahMos will become a "universal cruise missile" due to its ability to be launched from land, sea - from both ships and submarines - and the air. The land and naval versions have already been inducted into service with the Indian Army and the Indian Navy. The navy has integrated anti-ship versions of the BrahMos on its warships, including INS Rajput, and is integrating it on to two other ships of the same class. The missiles will also be mounted on the three 7,000-tonne Kolkata class destroyers currently being constructed at Mumbai's Mazagon Docks. The navy had Dec 18 last year test-fired the missile from a vertical launcher on a ship in the Bay of Bengal. All earlier launches had been carried out from inclined launchers. The missile, which takes its name from the Brahmaputra and Moskva rivers, has a range of nearly 300 km and carries a 300 kg conventional warhead. It can achieve speeds of up to 2.8 Mach or nearly three times the speed of sound. BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited was established in India as a joint venture through an inter-governmental agreement signed between India and Russia in February 1998. |

| GUEST95104 | The Indian Air Force's newest force-multiplier, the first of three 'Phalcon' Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW) aircraft landed quietly in New Delhi on Sunday. IAF’s new 'eyes in the sky, Phalcon AWACS lands in New Delhi. Photo: www.beriev.comConfirming this, senior IAF officials said that the aircraft was at Delhi's Palam technical area airport on a stopover from Israel. It was inspected by senior air force brass, including Air Chief Marshal Fali Major before heading out to Agra. The aircraft are to be based in Agra and form part of a new AEW squadron. The induction of the Phalcon comes as a tremendous force multiplier in the present standoff between India and Pakistan. "It can help monitor the military build-up, troop and aircraft movements nearly 200 km inside Pakistan while flying nearly 100 km inside your own territory," says Air Marshal A.K. Goel (retd) The only platforms offering such a capability, albeit a limited one, are the spy planes of the R&AW's Aviation Research Centre and the IAF's fleet of Israeli-built Heron and Searcher-II drones. The aircraft can do this using its Israeli-built AEW mission suite called the Phalcon, mounted on a Russian-built IL-76 transport aircraft. The system is used for tactical surveillance of airborne and surface targets and intelligence gathering to a radius of over 400 km. The solid-state phased array Elta EL/M-2075 radar is mounted on a radome above the fuselage. The electronically steered beam provides a 360 degree coverage around the aircraft and it carries air force personnel on board to analyse the data and steer fighter aircraft. "AEWs have a three-fold advantage of flexibility-they can be deployed anywhere, provide much better coverage because they are mounted on an elevated platform and carry control systems and datalinks, which can be used to vector your own fighter aircraft," says Air Marshal V.K. Bhatia, former western air commander. India has signed a $ 1.1 billion deal for three Phalcons with Israel in 2004. The first aircraft were to be delivered last year but delayed by a few months. All deliveries are to be completed by next year. The IAF is keen on acquiring three more Phalcons and with negotiations said to be in an advanced stage, the deal is likely to be signed sometime this year. |
