no, I don't think there is a need for such AAMs either. India is not equipped with any either. KS-172 is not in service anywhere.zoolander said:I am refering to super long range aams. the ones that have a range of 200 to 300km. R-77 and etc are just medium
Not a reasonable goal within 5 or even 10 years. 15 maybe.zoolander said:Are china's j-xx and india's mca just a dream or a reasonable goal?
When do you think they will come out? Round by 5 years?
zoolander said:china still might get them but i think they are going to buy the Su-34 because they are a flanker format. Its going to be alot easier to train and integrate it into the chinese air force.
you are again making a very major mistake ,lca has completed 502 test flight,the variants that have been test flown are td1,td2,pvi and pv2(the weapons integrated one),however weapons integration on pv2 is still going on,some modifications were made in these aircrafts including reducing their weight by 600kgs thus enabling an empty weight of 5500kgs,these modifications have already been certified by the indian airforce's defence certification authority cemilac.zoolander said:I made a major mistake on old news. The LCA is accually flying. It made its like 200 or something test flight. It went mach 1.4. The major issue is still the Kavari engine. Good job india for making a decent jet fighter.
So you might see the LCA finaaly go into production in two years.
currently it is going into high altitude and high speed and edurance tests in mother russia.
look i am dick chaney :soldier
No one is going to use Nukes ever again unless they're militants. If one nuke goes off, it will be mutual destruction for the world.norinco89 said:I just read the thread. didnt zoolander say no logistics.
Oviously china dont have many air bases near India. There is nothing to protect. Anyways there is a couple of nukes pointed at multiple cities in India. Y dont we point that out.
China's airforce has gone a long way. It needs more western techs.
India's airforce has also gone a long way. It has imported techs but not a good indigious techs
Both need to modernize
srev one nuke is not going to destroy the world. Its not even for sure if all of them went off the world would be destroyed. If you want to read some scary stuff research the nuclear accidents and false alerts both we and the Soviets had during the cold war,"let alone the confrontations". At least during that period Commie and Yank hegemony and detente were a stabilizing factor in the rest of the world.srev2004 said:No one is going to use Nukes ever again unless they're militants.
