Since India "Xiti" 5 Rafale fighters from France, the Indian army has shown a confidence that it has never had before. It's fine to clamor to deal with Pakistan, even claiming to fight against the J-20, I have to say that the Indians are really inflated. Under the flicker of France, the Indians even thought that Rafale was an advanced fighter that could change the "rules of the game" in air combat. In addition, the former Indian Air Force Commander Nanbia did not forget to boast of his next-generation fighter LCAMK2, saying that this fighter came out 40 years later than the Rafale fighter, so it is more powerful in performance. This kind of weird logic is elusive. Is the performance of the late fighters necessarily more powerful?
光辉战机
According to Nanbia, this fighter will make its first flight in 2026, which is 40 years after the Rafale’s first flight. So what is so extraordinary about this fighter that can make the Indian commander so inflated? The LCAMK2 that Nanbia calls is actually the second-generation Glorious fighter, which is the next-generation Indian fighter that is further improved and optimized on the Glorious fighter. When it comes to the Brilliant Fighter, many people are not calm. This fighter has been developed for decades before and after, bringing together technologies from many countries, but its performance is very embarrassing. It lags behind the world when it first came out, and is also regarded as a tasteless fighter by the outside world. In the eyes of the Indians, the development of the Brilliance 2 fighter is to "be shameful" and show that they are fully capable of developing advanced fighters.
光辉2Imagine
And this fighter will also be taken over by the famous Steinair, and it has released bold words, saying that a prototype will be built in 2022, in 2025 Mass production began in 2010. Judging from the news currently announced, this fighter will undergo a “big change” in avionics equipment, engines, and weapon systems, and it will also be replaced with a canard design to make a new aerodynamic layout of this fighter. the design of. As a result, the brilliant fighter has changed from the "Phantom" tailless delta wing layout to the popular duck layout of the fourth-generation fighter, joining the typhoon, J-10, and Gripen team. From the perspective of the overall size of the fuselage, the duck layout on the fuselage is larger, and the engine, avionics, radar and other equipment are upgraded.
Rafale Fighter
However, at present, these avionics upgraded in India do not have advanced technology, so it is very likely that they will follow the old path of the previous "Glorious" fighter jets and adopt foreign countries. "Patch together" again with the latest technology and equipment. Objectively speaking, due to the integration of many new concepts, new equipment and technologies, if this fighter can be developed, then this fighter is likely to be stronger than the Rafale. In this way, the Indian commander is not talking casually. . However, judging from the previous progress of the research and development of the Brilliant Fighter, it has gone through many twists and turns, which can be described as "30 years of sharpening a sword." As for this improved Radiance 2, it is somewhat unrealistic to deploy a large number of troops in 2025.
Moreover, it is from Stan Airlines. Can you guarantee that the fighter will be free of problems? Not to mention, it is likely that the delivery time will be delayed. After all, this fighter is not just a simple improvement, but a comprehensive design, no different from re-developing a fighter. In addition, by the day this equipment is installed in the Indian Air Force, I am afraid that Pakistan's Xiaolong 3 has been delivered to hundreds of planes, and whether it can deal with Pakistan will be a big problem.
