Was about to post it :) Great news. Much greater than Pinaka export. Cos even though Indian army has finished evaluation of atleast one of Kalyani products, the final order is still being awaited by CCS. And here they have a product which has cleared the foreign country’s testing...

True. Real AMCA development hasn’t been sanctioned by GoI yet. But initial feed money for testing has been allocated by DRDO from its internal funds. One A-319 plane will be used to test AMCA radar and other avionics. AMCA funds are expected to be sanctioned this year.

It’s too expensive and probably uses more foreign parts and weapons than Indian Tejas Mk1A and 2.

I guess this also means BMD Phase 1 has been implemented to a large extent with Delhi, Mumbai protected now. With AD2 testing beginning , double layered protection can be provided to all the metros plus important cities.

@Nilgiri this one deserves a separate thread for sometime don’t you think? This also probably means BMD Phase 1 is complete. And budget is funded from PMO directly I think similar to Nuke sub projects

Let’s not compare wokeism with the strategic mindset of any country. Wokeism is just an phase. An someone who is an woke at 20, won’t be so at 35, due to real world understanding and dynamics. Of course, it’s different altogether when an woke becomes president. Hugo Chavez destroyed Venezuelan...

Why would GE do that? Turkey is an huge market for them. And Turkey is not trying to steal tech like the Chinese here.

All of them successfully placed at their orbit.

The original Agni 2 was developed in the 90’s and operationalised in the 2000’s. The Agni Prime is the latest tech advancement developed in the last 4-6 years.

Additional immediate orders for 37 expected. Overall numbers expected to be 170+ slowly over this decade and the next. Slowly and steadily getting there.

Even the Somalians won’t be bothering to coming over to Pakistan at this point with the current economic status. It’s a few months and even rich Pakistanis in foreign countries ain’t coming back

So many drone systems. Proliferation of drones is scary. Forget defence. It’s a threat to personal safety in the future. In India, murderers don’t even have guns. So they chase you to hack you to death most of the time. You have an equal chance to escape. With drones, develop an bomb pocket...

It’s just Ballistic missiles tests are very difficult to hide as they have to re -enter the atmosphere and lots of tracking systems in place to monitor them. I believe it’s Turkey’s first test run and Congratulations to the scientists and the countrymen for joining the Ballistic missiles club...

Rudram 3 looks too heavy to be carried even by Sukhois. Guess it needs an Bomber….

So how was it tested previously? Turkey had to release an NOTAM and this time and age, and especially the location Turkey is in, OSI could have easily found out if Turkey had performed an Ballistic Missile tests before.

No. I think the problem in India is not research but commercial value of such research. It’s the universities and private entities who should buy and use supercomputer for their research. And our companies don’t buy them and our universities except a few don’t do even research. And our...

2 FOC are being used as test bed for Mk1A. In fact one of them have already test flown with Elta 2052 AESA radar. Another one might fly Uttam or integrating updated console with EW Pod. I think it’s a mini project on how to convert FOC Tejas into Mk1A. Though with low fighter numbers, even...

Milking is a strong term. It’s the Armenians which have the requirement and maybe they do. It’s not like India offered an loan and forced them to buy this equipment. I believe it’s also driven by short delivery timeline
