    India Navy Frigates

    I've read the report stating they will be displacing ~8000T. That is significant, they'll be bigger than our current destroyers (~7500T), just as well considering rumours also state that NGD is going to be between 11-13,000T. That would be in line with how surface combatants are shaping up...

    In the pic in this article you can clearly see "BVR MK-II ASTRA" on the missile body: https://swarajyamag.com/news-brief/iaf-shows-off-160-km-range-astra-mk-ii-missile-in-promo-video-released-ahead-of-90th-air-force-day

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    Well I've shown you missiles with "Astra Mk-II" printed on them releasing from Su-30. I don't know how much more real it can get.

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    As you can see, it is printed on the missiles being carried by aircraft as seen in the tweets I posted as well. It's possible the design changed or they deemed any modification to the airframe unnecessary. Either way, the diagram in the post you originally quoted is not any iteration of Astra...

    Pretty sure that pic in the tweet is a Derby. Astra Mk2 has always looked externally similar to Mk1.

    I had originally hoped that we'd switch to AL41 for higher thrust but it seems we've determined that isn't necessary. I've also heard that rebuilding the AL31FP with new materials (some the result of our own R&D drawing from Kaveri program) can result in considerably higher TBO figures. Which...

    India HAL’s strategic move: To export SU-30 fighter jets soon

    More than export of new airframes, I think the real news here is that possibly HAL could become the defacto contractor for maintainance/repair/overhaul (and maybe even upgrade) of most of the Flankers in SE Asia or elsewhere. Russia's MIC is going to be busy serving their domestic needs & war...

    A bullet that hit the ear could have very easily hit the head due to the wind or any number of factors that cannot be controlled. I don't see much merit in the "this was staged" argument.

    While it's certainly a mess in the grand view of things, at the unit level (section or platoon level) the logistics are going to be pretty standard with at most 2 ammo types in use, which is how most Armies in the world operate. It would be exceedingly rare, if impossible, for the same unit to...
