    India HAL Tejas Program

    looks like some vintage VHS tape stuff somehow, maybe a bit too crisp, but I like it

    India Jet Engines and Gas Turbines

    A better question is how the new deal is different from the deals India had with Russia.

    India Jet Engines and Gas Turbines

    Would say that "unprecedented" is a far cry... there were some examples during the cold-war period. Though I'd be able to say, that this kind of a deal is first of its kind ever since the 80s/90s when the US for the last time transfered high-profile gas turbine technology to Japan. Even if we...

    India Navy SSK Submarines

    So, all these reports suggests that the programs for 1) refitting existing P75 submarines with DRDO PAFC, 2) a second batch of P75 consisting of 3 Scorpene class boats, and 3) P75I procurement all coexists right now I undesrtand? I'd say that's some major leap forward in terms of commitment of...

    Canada Navy Canada SSK program

    Problem with Type 216 is that the actual design doesn't exist just yet. They need a first customer like what Greece was for Type 214. Then again the situation is even less ideal since Type 216 is almost an all-new design unlike Type 214 which leveraged design features from Type 209 and Type...

    Canada Navy Canada SSK program

    I don't think the article mentioned anything about Babcock taking the deal just because they are already operating in Canada supporting Victoria Class. They just made some PR statements and that's it. Of course Babcock Canada having Canadian operations (and RCN being familiar with them) and...

    India Navy SSK Submarines

    Nice, at least the program is moving forward. Of course it would have been way better if they went with Kalveri class (and possibly integrated DRDO AIP) instead of buying a new submarine all together, but at least they have something in hand now instead of endless delays. Are there any news...

    You've forgot Raytheon who makes ACES II.

    India AMCA Program

    So that will mean that they'll skip the technology demonstration phase, including the technology demonstrator. I'd say its a reasonable choice, given project schedules. Better accelerate the actual program if they could.

    India AMCA Program

    Reading this article, I've got a question. It's mentioned that 2026 will be the roll-out schedule, though I wonder, what happened with the plan to build the NGTD? IIRC, wasn't it planned to build 2 NGTD aircrafts this year and by 2024? Also, is the bid for the private sector partnership still...

    India AMCA Program

    I've seen a similar presentation image for MWF, and it seemed like major avionics components are shared between the two aircraft. Is that correct? If that's the case I also think TEDBF will also use same avionics as well.

    It's KTSSM-II. KTSSM-II itself has two blocks, each with different warheads.

    This thread will serve as a general thread about Korean heavy-duty reciprocating engines products and programs, both for civilian and military, ranging from trivial electric motors, high-speed to low-speed diesel engines for trucks, armored vehicles and ships, to future electric drives and...

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    Hmmm... that's a bit puzzling. Like I've posted a few times before, Koreans (S&T to be exact) have already replaced German components within the EST transmission, and this new version of the transmission also happens to be the current version of the transmission under trials for the Altay in a...

    Korea KF-X/ IF-X (KF-21) program

    Embargo or declining of EL by the US and UK to Korea only happens in exports to very specific countries like Argentina or Pakistan, so it's not much of a concern. Nationalisation of ETU datalink has more to do with the Korean aerial training environment under development, which is also part of...

    By Turkish parts, do you know which exactly they are?

    TR Altay Main Battle Tank & Related Programs

    I mean, important vehicle electonics like the FCS are already Turkish so there ain't much problem with adding some trivial components to the list, if there are benefits

    TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Guys, it seems like for weeks you are arguing about unnecessary and trivial stuff like landing gears and external looks of the plane, but let's not forget this is GTU-0 and also remember that critical designing phase is not complete. Although the shape of the MMU will probably not change by...
