Third generation engine with marginally increased thrust than AL 31 engine , which cannot do sustained supercruise. It does have super manueverability but with new generation air to air missile that does not make any difference and nobody wants to do dogfight with this plane. The radar technology is old and air to air missile is not reliable. The electronic warfare suite is two generations old. The plane requires extensive repairs and what about the spares and plane availability . The sensor fusion is not yet achieved. All in all like J 20 another fifth generation plane with most of third and fourth generation technology. The heat signature is also not suppressed and Evan a good heat seeking missile can bring it down. I don't know who is getting impressed with this fifth generation plane as I know well what is a fifth generation plane and what technologies are required to achieve that. <br /><br />TIMBAKTOOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-12460552403710144312017-07-31T18:24:29.221-07:002017-07-31T18:24:29.221-07:00As usual plan sounds simple and straight forward.....As usual plan sounds simple and straight forward.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-23916026678824459412017-07-31T08:06:41.486-07:002017-07-31T08:06:41.486-07:00A sensible decision.

The sukhoi Fifth generation plane has no equivalent in the west nor is AMCA of the same weight class.<br />So we will have a local,jet in every weight class.<br />Let us see what jet does navy choose. The existing 45 MiG-29 and to be added 57 will palat a crucial role in the event of future conflict.<br />Just hope our navy does fly 1 or 2 squadrons of LCA navy to ensure we keep learning , it should help in AMCA navy version. This is how west keeps updating themselves.

On one side lie the obvious advantages of standardising on fewer platforms for economies of scale and ease of logistics while the other side is the need to avoid repeating what we did with our submarine program, viz. lose precious expertise by shutting down the HAL production line after 2020. The powers that be seem to prefer the latter course of action though what it does to operational efficiency is an open question. Supporters will of course claim that IAF has always had a fairly heterogeneous inventory but it begs asking whether we have to keep doing it in the future. The other unstated goal I suppose, is to use this procurement to keep Russia firmly on our side strategically which is rather myopic since we no longer need their help on Pakistan and they won't come to our side against China. <br /><br />All in all a rather sorry state of affairs for our defence posture in general.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
