Both India and Turkey should focus on forming a non-aligned trading bloc independent of western or sino-russian influences by onboarding SE Asian, South American, African and stan countries

If you've been following pak's foreign policy moves lately, it's quite obvious they were trying to get into Russia's camp as well after the west ditched em and the prospects of Russia & china forming a new world order against NATO and the west in general China with it's CPEC gained way too much...

What do you think the ToT/workshare/know-how of such a project look like? In case Indo-French relations turn sour in the future, would we still have complete access to the tech so that we can manufacture all components/spares along with maintenance/overhauls without French assistance?

The Safari and Harrier look almost identical. I believe the Harrier was designed more for the urban populace...Tata should make the Safari beefier to differentiate

If US sanctions India...they're effectively loose the whole of Asia since that'll only make us closer to Russia and maybe even china. Imagine a block with Russia, India and China in the mix...NATO just can't do jack shiite no matter how many countries they rope in which is exactly what US wants...

L&T is developing a Fixed Wing UAV with Short range take-off and Landing for Recce. and strategic operations. Preliminary design, Wind tunnel testing and Scale down model flight trials are completed. Further development of the platform is tuned towards user requirement.

I believe that's the reason we procured M777, Sig-716, P-8I, Apaches, Chinooks, Guardian drones etc with a few others lined up like NASAMs, Predator, Javelin under consideration but all the later were cancelled in favor of indigenous platforms For NASAM which was supposed to cover Delhi's NCR...

Brahmos is a two stage missile with a solid propellant booster followed by a liquid ramjet. Infact, all components including the booster, seeker, onboard electronics and airframe are developed by DRDO while ramjet is the only Russian component (since Brahmos is still a JV) and is similar to the...

What it should've actually included is EMALS...but I guess Yanks wanted us to procure F-18s if we want EMALS and our guys decided it wasn't worth it and also since IN dropped plans for a 3rd carrier in favor of more subs

We don't have any immediate replacements for the engines and P-8I's, neither indigenous nor from France/Israel. As for Apaches & Chinooks, we have Russian alternatives in our inventory along with HAL's helo fleet which seemed to be promising so far...all we need is LCH's in significant numbers...

Don't see any dedicated thread for Indian AD systems, so posting this here

That's quite obvious even prior to this whole Russia-Ukr saga. Despite offering the latest block F-16s with ToT and localized production, we didn't even consider or thoroughly evaluate their proposal. We've seen all along on how pak was ditched by the yanks and more recently the Turks being...

India to launch its own digital currency in 2022-2023 India’s central bank will issue a digital rupee in the 2022-2023 financial year which begins Apr. 1. India’s finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the introduction of the digital rupee would be based on “blockchain and other...

The yanks might have the best weapons out there but for our military top brass, the most technologically advanced weapons are simply not enough...they need lucrative kickbacks to ensure financial stability for their next 5-10 generations and this aspect is something yanks are not as good as...

What sanctions and from whom?
