印度专家:LCA可改成5代战机 阿联酋新加坡都想买

印度专家:LCA可改成5代战机 阿联酋新加坡都想买

“虽然印度是目前世界上最大的武器进口国,但这并不妨碍印度热衷于对外出口国产武器装备。而在所有这些印度国产武器当中,尤以LCA轻型战机最受瞩目。迄今为止,已有埃及、斯里兰卡、阿联酋和新加坡等国对其表现出了浓厚兴趣。”
上述这番听着有些让人出戏的调调,出自于印度航空航天领域分析师霍尔木兹·P·玛玛。玛玛新近在媒体上发表了自己的独到见解,他认为,LCA其实是一款被严重低估的先进战机。尽管该机现阶段或多或少还存在着航程较短、载荷较低、飞行间隔时间较长和维护费时费力等等问题,但不可否认的是,LCA将会成为今后印度空军部队里的中坚力量。随着LCA的最新改进型LCA MK2的逐步发展成熟,它甚至有望进化成一款足以同国际上主流的第4、第5战机相媲美的先进机型。

玛玛列举了如下论据作为例证。首先,LCA的主要研发单位印度航空发展局(ADA)在它身上采用了多种先进技术,LCA是印度第一款完全在计算机上完成设计工作的飞机,它的身上凝聚了印度在空气动力学领域的全部精华。据ADA的LCA项目主任科塔交待,目前应用在LCA上面的飞控系统此前已在美制F-16D型战机上做过测试,实际反馈良好。那些试飞过LCA的印度飞行员对此也是赞叹有加,称LCA在高速状态下的操控性良好。

其次,尽管LCA在设计之初并没有将隐身性纳入考虑范围之内,但它的隐身性能实际上却相当不俗。LCA是目前世界上迷你的一款单发单座战机,尺寸越小雷达反射面积就小。此外,LCA的机身上有近45%的部件都是由对雷达反射并不敏感的复合材料所构成的,这也对提高其隐身性能有所助益。第三,独特的Y型进气道设计可以防止雷达波直接照射到发动机涡扇叶片,这也在一定程度上提高了LCA的隐身性能。

再者,目前装备于LCA上的F404型涡扇发动机也为其加分不少。这款久经考验的美制发动机畅销多国,可靠性和可维护性俱佳,在各方面都比原计划配备给LCA的印度国产发动机“卡佛里”强许多。F404的到来使得LCA的战斗力更上一层楼,也增加了它在国际潜在客户心目中的印象分。

第四,LCA拥有品种异常丰富的各型配套武器,其中包括近距格斗弹、超视距导弹、激光制导炸弹、滑翔炸弹、集束炸弹和23毫米机炮等等。尤其值得一提的是,印度目前正在努力研发小型化的“布拉莫斯NG”空射巡航导弹,该弹也能挂载在LCA上,届时其对地对海打击能力定将更上一层楼。

最后,未来的改进型LCA身上还会有更多值得期待的黑科技,比如声控系统,推力矢量技术,以及更先进的下一代发动机等等。玛玛认为,尽管近段时间以来印度空军因为米格-21而碰了一些灰,但LCA作为米格-21的终极替代者,终将为印度空军在单发轻型机上挽回颜面。

毕竟是自家孩子,不管在别人眼里有多么不堪,印度人都能将不是5代机的LCA夸得胜似5代机。然而巧妇也难为无米之炊,如果印度要有哪怕一款比LCA稍微像样点的国产战机,印度专家也不至于整天拿它来做文章了。对于那些指着母猪夸貂蝉的人阿里山,他们内心未必真就认为母猪可以赛貂蝉,只是因为他们家里只有母猪,所以也只能就坡下猪了。(作者署名:军械喵 )

Indian experts: LCA can be changed to 5th generation fighters.


Indian experts: LCA can be changed to 5th generation fighters.

"Although India is currently the world's largest importer of weapons, this does not prevent India from eager to export domestically produced weapons and equipment. Among all these Indian-made weapons, the LCA light fighters are the most watched. So far, Countries such as Egypt, Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates and Singapore have shown great interest in it."

The above-mentioned listening to some of the playful tune, from the Indian aerospace field analyst Hormuz P. Mama. Mama recently published his own unique insights in the media. He believes that LCA is actually an advanced fighter that is seriously underestimated. Although the aircraft has more or less problems such as shorter range, lower load, longer flight interval and time-consuming maintenance, it is undeniable that LCA will become the backbone of the future Indian Air Force. power. With the gradual development of LCA's latest and improved LCA MK2, it is expected to evolve into an advanced model that is comparable to the international mainstream 4th and 5th fighters.

Mama cited the following arguments as an example. First of all, LCA's main research and development unit, the Indian Aviation Development Agency (ADA), has adopted a variety of advanced technologies. The LCA is India's first aircraft that is completely designed on a computer. It has a body that condenses India's aerodynamics. The essence of the field. According to ATA's LCA project director Kota, the flight control system currently applied to the LCA has been tested on the US F-16D fighter, and the actual feedback is good. Indian pilots who have fled the LCA are also amazed at this, saying that the LCA has good handling at high speeds.

Second, although LCA did not take stealth into consideration at the beginning of its design, its stealth performance is actually quite impressive. The LCA is currently a mini single-seat single-seat aircraft in the world. The smaller the size, the smaller the radar reflection area. In addition, nearly 45% of the components on the LCA's fuselage are made of composite materials that are not sensitive to radar reflections, which also helps to improve their stealth performance. Third, the unique Y-shaped inlet design prevents radar waves from directly illuminating the engine turbine blades, which also improves the stealth performance of the LCA to some extent.

In addition, the F404 turbofan engine currently equipped on the LCA also adds a lot of points. This tried-and-tested American engine is sold well in many countries, with excellent reliability and maintainability. It is much stronger than the Indian-made engine "Carveri" originally planned for LCA. The arrival of the F404 has made LCA's combat capability even higher, and it has also increased its impression of the potential customers in the world.

Fourth, LCA has a wide variety of weapons, including close-range combat weapons, over-the-horizon missiles, laser-guided bombs, glide bombs, cluster bombs, and 23mm cannons. In particular, India is currently working on the development of a miniaturized "Brahmos NG" air-launched cruise missile that can also be mounted on the LCA, when its ground-to-sea strike capability will be even higher. Floors.

Finally, there will be more black technologies worth looking forward to in the future of improved LCA, such as voice control systems, thrust vector technology, and more advanced next-generation engines. Mama believes that although the Indian Air Force has touched some grays due to the MiG-21 in recent times, the LCA, as the ultimate replacement for the MiG-21, will eventually save the Indian Air Force on the single-engine light machine.

After all, it is their own children, no matter how unbearable in the eyes of others, the Indians can praise the LCA that is not the 5th generation machine to be like the 5th generation machine. However, it is difficult for a clever woman to have no rice. If India wants even a domestically-made fighter that is slightly more like LCA, Indian experts will not take it for a whole day. For Alishan, who points to the sow's praise, they don't really think that the sows can race, just because they only have sows at home, so they can only lay down the pigs.

Tia gong Indian government chut attractive package. Singapore if interested in that plane can get a dozen for free. In return we just need to import 1000 engineers for each bird. Fair deal ?
