Indian OPVs would be much cheaper. OPVs do not carry missiles or weapons, so there would be no integration issues. BD could explore something with Indian shipyards.

Actually shared this news on the other Indian forum. It's actually great news. More details would emerge if and when we sign the agreement. I really hope it's in the next 2 months. Definitely going to take up to 3-5B for Indian side.

I don't know if such under the accounts deal could.be done with US which has pretty good oversight on over the deal commercial deals.

Good decision. If this amount of money 3B had been poured in our indigenous programmes we could have a better system by now. The thing is we make.the decision only when pushed into.the corner.

I think IAF pilots are starting to love it. And it also means IAF have framed war strategy using the birds and want to try it out in exercises.

We can do all simulation we want. Nothing is greater than actual testing. P5 had decades of multiple nuclear testing to formalize their technology. They have conducted open, air and sea nuclesr testing. But it would be a bad time to do the testing this decade as our economy is just on it's...

Intel was very close to establishing a plant near Chennai or Goa back in 2005 I think when Maran was Telecommunication minister. That Jaya thwarted it is another matter altogether. But I heard they were perplexed by lack of clear policy cos semiconductor industry cannot operate in a vacuum and...

PFBR is not operational yet. Being the first.of it's class, obviously it's actually already delayed by 7 years and definitely it's not lack of plutonium. We don't have MIRV missiles yet to account for it yet as we don't have an active known MIRV system. I quite honestly think India is due...

Going to give my oft repeated response. "Will believe it when I see it. " :D

This needs a new thread for some days. It's highly imported especially with regards to our labour intensive manufacturing sector. Tariff is going down to 5% for some and zero for some. Also covers electronics, apparel (some positive news for apparel after years), steel etc. Services are set to...

Better to develop it near Bangalore or Hyderabad. With aerospace already developed to an extent in that region, it makes easy for talents to switch companies and for Tata to get the best talents themselves. Especially when Indian industry with regards to bigger aircraft manufacturing is nascent...

Philippines also has marine helicopter requirements. Dhruv is competing in the tender I guess.

It's 1.3B people. Do someone expect all people to be "nationalistic"? Bangladeshis quit Pakistan irrespective of being "Muslims". Does that make them traitors? Traitors will be in all form and shape in all religion.

The new gen is even more brainwashed with social media and stuff. Friends I have studied with, has started openly blaming Brahmins in WhatsApp groups not even withstanding Brahmins are there in school groups, and he is used to be best friends with a few of them. The irony is, this generation...

And that is my fear. I do not want any social issues in my state. The so called secularism parties (no party is secular in my opinion), who represent secular hindus are silent about this. Not even one condemnation. Kerala Communists would condemn communal statements coming from the church, but...

The person I quoted said the corvette coming might be a rumour while.anti ship.was confirmed. So I was wondering how BD was receiving the missile without the corvette.

This is resulting in reverse polarisation. God forbid, if there will be religious social unrests in TN, it will be Christians and not with Muslims. Hundreds of reports are already there of Christians singing in front of ancient Hindu temples, cleansing it of demon, giving sermons to Hindus in...

Does BD use Turkish radar? If it's not, how easy it is to integrate an Turkish missile onto a BD ship with incompatible FCR.

You would be surprised the stories coming out of TN. I had someone when I was in college days, travelling somewhere in Sivaganga alone in a bus, person near me requested me to convert. My friend who is very docile, someone who in the gang is always polite, has an unknown hatred for evangelists...

I am an Indian, and very few among us can claim that they know the length and breadth of India. Foreign journos who call themselves experts of India are just kidding themselves. The history of caste itself has a different origin. Caste was designed as a way to organize people back 5000 years...
