now that's a big claim :truestory:

^^ The Hardpoints seems like a neat job itself.

Did I see two tiny-winy hard points on the wings :suspicious:

Courtesy: keypublishing.com Note: The left air intake duct do not exactly resembles the right intake duct, the same is also true for Su-27 and 30 where these intake ducts are uneven and as usual the right side is larger then the left side.

The question of Strategic bomber have been discussed before AURA will not be able to act like a strategic bomber, first off all India cannot produce her own stratigic bomber, second strategic bombers are not available for sales. What Strategic bombers does is Mass Destruction, and no one is...

F-35 multi role, cheap to purchase,maintain and fly the the F-22, moreover F-35 is expected to generate business while F-22 is highly confidential and export is prohibited by law of the land. F-35 was designed for 3 types of roles Air force variant, carrier variant and VOTL/STOVL in mind, while...

I think its not the missiles but the aircraft capabilities that makes the basis of Air superiority or interceptor, like maneuverability and climb rates, no doubt missiles are an integral part of it, when those air combat aircraft are also tailored to drop bombs or attack surface targets their...

Bomber as in tactical strike or strategic capabilities? What are the added features required more then a regular multi role capable machine.

Defcon 1 MCA was suppose to be a deep penetration and strike aircraft , but current trend of multirole capabilities eliminates the need for dedicated fighter jets, why to have only the bomber if you can have the added capabilities of air role.

Defcon 1 Air superiority fighters should be able to perform tactical bombing mission considering you got the ammunition compatible with the aircraft, after all most of IAF machines are multirole capable not dedicated air superiority, if you are talking about strategic bomber, India will need to...

Anti radar missile for Su-30 MKI the one that will also carry the air launch Brahmos. I wonder what the big hush about tactical bombers?

DSI on F-16 was tried on experimental basis aka technology demonstrator, it is not the production version of F-16 Block 30, I think even a Mach 2.4 is possible with a fixed geometry design but at the expense of sub sonic performance. Though I have not checked for credible source regarding...

Again PAK-FA is claimed to have 3 X band radars at front and 2 L band radars ( probably at wings),wonder where are the second and third X band radars are located , one must be in that nose randome cone.

While it is believed that F-16 had reached a top speed of M 2.0 with a modified intake optimised for the purpose the usual top speed for fixed geometry intake for production jet is around Mach 1.7 to 1.8, for higher speed it will require a modified intake design-a setup not optimised for sub...

Some times it is said that F-22 is an exception with her high power engine but I am not ready to buy it with out any explanation and F-35 have a even powerful engine (although it have a single engine) Air frame does matter but modern airframe should usually tackle M2.0+ usually while for...

^^ updated post to make it more readable.

For a Mig-31, I think to break the sound barrier she will need to go for after burners and after burners are not known to be used for prolonged duration it is also not fuel efficient, after burners are for short shots usually for added power and thrust at the cost of fuel inefficiency. The...

Is their any official confirmation that the F-22 Raptor have a maximum speed in acess to M 1.9-2.0?

p2prada the saw tooth nozzle of F135 might help in deflecting radar waves but is not considered as stealth even by Pratt & Whitney but they claim F-119 to have integrated stealth technology.
