    India UAV Programs

    Very stupid decision for an very low number… 3B for 30 is already expensive. This will increase the price. India has no EO system manufacturers. Maybe SAR radar, but it’s integration cost money. US is not giving access to its platform to integrate foreign systems. No Indian munitions. Body...

    India Navy Destroyers

    ASW Corvette is 16. 8 from GRW and 8 from CSL. One more Kalvari has been delivered today. Nuke subs numbers are not officially given out. I think follow on to ins avnesh is being made…. Survey vessels are more important I think for our future submarines…

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    I think this is user trials by SFC from their own inventory. They don’t test new stuffs. But to be honest, I am disappointed over lack of cover over Agni 6 or K5 SLBM. While range of A6 won’t differ much, it is supposed to be MIRV. In fact our range has been static since 2012 when we first...

    Tata could hopefully use the Gujarat plant and leverage it’s advantages with Airbus to start A320 manufacturing in India and exports from India. Could be an game changer.

    India Defence Industry, R&D and Procurements

    Will end up more than 140+ for sure. Need replacing An32 of IAF of which we ordered 120+ and still have 105 remain. MoD needs to make sure by ordering more samples to bring down the costs. R&D should begin today to use local components for the IAF order

    Another stupid procurement decision from MoD. The original requirement was 24. We ordered 12, then 4, first 12 then reduced to 8 and proceeding. We could have saved more than an billion dollars by ordering 24 of them in a single go. 6 Apaches costed 900m dollars instead of placing them with the...

    How big was the Indian team over there? India really needs to concentrate on sales on few countries. Vietnam can be a good partner and we do need to take real test samples next time.

    India Navy Aircraft Carriers

    But Even steam catapults require huge amount of power, meaning adding more turbines and boilers. It also does not make sense to have 2 sets of fighters for this purpose. Technically the same aircraft can work in both stobar and catapult but fatigue, stress, mtbf would be unpredictable as...

    Same stobar. If it’s Catobar, then it’s not IAC1 copy. As of now, no design work is involved, just order one more, only manufacturing is involved.

    India Jet Engines and Gas Turbines

    I don’t know how challenging or true it would be. If true it would still be an good idea to integrate this with TEDBF as Rafale M engines also have similar performance. But we don’t know about the reliability and the sustainability of this engine. This engine can attain 80kn but has vibrational...

    China China's new Wing Loong 3 drone has intercontinental range, to make first flight soon

    Bigger drones have no advantage in RCS. Easily susceptible to tracking and interception. Ofcourse it helps in monitoring large swathes of ocean. But I am not sure how effective it would be to attack other countries. Maybe it can act as mothership to other smaller drones, it’s a worth a try that way

    It’s an non strategic platform for sure. But I think for IN and MoD cost was a factor and they were the cheapest in the tender. Now cos of him, we are without 4 LPD 😆

    FYI That deal did not go through. It’s for india to decide the nature of the comments. He made words like Genocide and stuff. And that was not really happening.. I guess what Turkey will think of Modi did the same from UN platform asking for Kurdish independence

    Strategic alleys does not mean they are willing to sell their strategic weapons for free. They will say, it’s available to you but not for India. But india can still buy non strategic weapon system as it classifies. Turkey won an contract to sell LPD to Indian Navy in 2017. It was under final...

    Ofcourse they are not going to pay 400m this year. It will be divided over the next 2-4 years. Or we don’t know if it’s an soft loan. GoI has attempted not to make it a big deal out of the sales. And this sale may not be for Armenia. Except for one article, which is Business standard who are...

    We are talking. Indian Turkish defence relationship were ready to take off till Ummah President Mr. Erdogan started to repeatedly make unwarranted comments on Kashmir issue on which Turkey has no locus standi whatsoever. We haven’t even let US or Soviet Union meddle in this issue back when they...
