Sahastrabahu Temple ( Saas Bahu Temple) is an 11th-century twin temple in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India. Near the Gwalior Fort and dedicated to Vishnu in his Padmanabha form, like most Hindu and Jain temples in this region, it is mostly in ruins and was badly damaged from numerous invasions and...

It looks like the RFI is pretty much sent to every MBT OEM out there irrespective of the country. Following is mentioned in the RFI which no tank in production meets as of now except the T-14 to some extent and maybe Israel's recently revealed concept "The main armament of the FRCV will be able...

Arjun's design is that of a heavy MBT in excess of 60 tons and there's only so much weight reduction one can do on it. The particular dept of DRDO which is responsible for development of armoured vehicles CVRDE is not the most efficient arm of DRDO causing delays of next gen MBT technologies...

Either country won't budge and we're both nuclear powers...so it's sort of a stalemate. There is lil to no chance for Altay to get selected since IA knows the pak-Turk relation and a potential possibility that PA will be using turk weapons systems Imagine PA's mechanized columns having aerial...

@crixus @Test7 several of these tanks don't fall in the same weight category that IA is looking for...Any MBT over 60 tons is not ideal for the terrains that IA operates in. If that was the case, IA wouldn't bug DRDO to reduce the weight of Arjun MBT IA will primarily be looking for an MBT...

@crixus @Raptor what do y'all think are the chances for South Koreans given we've gone for the K9 Vajras. There could also be some potential scope in collaborating for our AMCA and their 5th gen version of KFX

L&T all the way...no matter what experience PSUs bring to the table, I'd opt for private firms anytime. For instance, L&T delivered K9 Vajras way in advance than what they stated in the contract. GRSE is so far the most efficient public shipyard but they're mostly into surface vessels while...

We should be able to ward off if its only one strike group since PLAN is expected to have 4 in total. We'd have two CBGs along with a bunch of additional subs by the end of this decade

Japan is very unlikely to export Soryu while Germany is not the most reliable defence partner. Also, it is best to go for some French variant to maintain commonality and uniformity among our fleet. A whole new platform altogether will only create logistical & maintenance issues along with the...

There were also some rumors of DCNS pitching a hybrid design of Shortfin and Scorpene

The first RFP for FICV/FRCV came out in 2017 which was scrapped and now re-issued again. This is very likely to get scrapped and we'd end up license producing more T-90s

I wonder which tank currently in production fits the bill or they actually expecting to develop a whole new tank altogether which'd take forever

I hope those educational reforms introduced in 2020 are implemented real soon...they're not the most ideal but a significant improvement from the current education system

Looks like the only unit which received high cut helmets in the whole of Para SF apart from Para-9

But these aren't a common sight and how economically are these feasible!! We'd have to shell out a ton to lease the Russian nuclear sub but it makes sense since it's a critical tech. If we're paying the same dime for stuff like drones which can clearly be made by private firms...we're just...

I have never heard of any country leasing weapons systems

Though Rafale is the most potent fighter jet in IAF's inventory and we'd love to order more, the chances for future orders are bleak primarily due to the cost since IAF intends to fill in the dwindling squadron numbers by finding cost effective replacements for the retiring Migs. Currently, LCA...

Couldn't agree more. I was actually checking out some HD pics of Amogh & JVPC carbines which were procured by some state police forces...the finish was so shoddy that cheap chinese crap 30 years ago was far better The AK-203 deal which is stuck indefinitely though should've been given to Adani...

I think even SF is moving away from Tavors. Though IA recently received Negev LMGs, SF was looking to procure SCAR-L/H assault rifles, Barrett M107 snipers, MK48 machine guns, M249 LMGs along with Browning 50 cal HMGs to be mounted on Para SF's new Force Motors LSV Infact, most of the later...

Solar Industries to deliver first lot of 40,000 grenades to Indian Army CENTRAL Government’s bold decision to open up the ammunition manufacturing sector for private agencies is paying rich dividends as the Indian Army is all set to receive the first consignment of high quality grenades...
