Fair enough, but I won't fully agree to the assumption that the indians wanted to add features to their flankers out of vanity.
My point is that lion's statement that an aircraft with canards can not have thrust vectoring engines because they render each other "redundant", is flawed at best.
Is not flawed. You have yet to answer my point with facts. All I see is you just keep trolling... You see, other already can't stand your trolling and see my point. I have so many good example for sukhoi, BAE, CAC.
Yet just one MKI from the least experience HAL and you want to rebuke my claim. You have yet to prove the beneficial of both able to intergrate together. Just admit it designer don't go for combo of TVC and canard for a practical operation fighter jet. Or else you reply is just for the sake of argument and your own ego and serve no knowledge or well being of all forumer who just want to seek real knowlege and real fact.
Let me give you another example. Why Su-34 didn't have TVC and only canard? You claim other don't go for TVC becos they may be non proficient in making TVC jet.
Load of rubbish. Russian has demonstrated they can go for TVC for SU-35BM but Su-34 didn't go for this option. Why???
