Get a load of Indias indigenously built fighter jet 33 years in the making, lol
They're hoping to find buyers for this clunker, double lol... I'm certainly no aeronautics expert, but it stands to reason that you can often tell a lot about an aircraft just by looking at it And this is one junky looking, ugly bird... any buyers out there? https://warisboring.com/india-spent-...1cd#.tvpp3ofak |

Very valid comparison, its like a shorter, more squat looking 23 Flogger
https://www.google.com/search?q=1970...CniTMRGO0OM%3A I dont think one needs to be an aeronautics expert to appreciate a clean, streamlined form and recognize its inherent airworthiness as opposed to this fugly thing... they should stick to buying Eurofighters and F16s |

Mig? Heck no. That has Dassault Mirage written all over it
It has a little F-16XL cranked-arrow wing going on, too. |

Whoops, just read the article. They mentioned the Rafale, which resemble the Indian POS quite a bit.

Excellent post, Notorious... and your point is very well taken, there are undeniable elements of the Mirage no doubt
But the article lays out this bastard jets various fathers, its a Mig, its a Mirage, its an F16, its everything but good, apparently... its an ugly hodgepodge of various design elements The top pic really kills it for me, its just a poor design that clearly doesnt know what it wants to be... I may not be an aeronautics expert, but I know an eagle from an albatross |

The section from the pilot forward looks like it belongs on a different jet altogether The huge intakes that curve awkwardly into the fuselage look even worse, and thats not even mentioning the pitiful mini-canards on the air induction, a sure sign of not knowing what they want in terms of maneuverability/flight stability Throw in the triangular, European looking wings and its clear those guys have no idea what they're trying to accomplish... fun to laugh at for sure, this thread isnt all about the best stuff, gotta have some fun with it as well lol |

No wonder they aren't defending North Dakota very well.
