It isn't over till the fat lady sings (i.e if there's a block, it could be at later stage that some source got a scoop on early etc).....but clearly the headline and reporting style used by the wire, was clickbait + sensationalist oriented at best (i.e a block already done and specific reason...

The videos and CNIC pics hurt some trolls really bad.

Sneak peek at the P-17A frigates being constructed in background. @Gessler @Anmdt et al.

We will have to see, but as it stands right now there is no confirmation from the US upon this and their procedures for the sale are continuing unaltered. i.e no block has occurred yet. Different to what the news article by the wire declared on a scoop they gathered from some source that a...

5 axis CNC router... ...and an autoclave for curing. I saw a laser cutter in later part of vid too.

Eveerywhere you look, the parameters for AMCA are provisional. Though with the overall volumetric size being suggested and the powerplant being assumed to be GE-414 x2....we can assume it will resemble the F-35A within a certain +/- range. Slightly kinematically worse (w.r.t max speed, max...

Most sources give it projected around ~ 12 tons. How is that higher than all other 5th gen? F-35A empty weight is around 13 tons and F-22 is around 20 tons.

The Indian Naval vessel INS Sumitra, after successfully preventing a piracy attempt on the Iranian fishing vessel Iman, has executed another anti-piracy mission off the East Coast of Somalia. In this operation, it rescued the Fishing Vessel Al Naeemi and its crew, comprising 19 Pakistani...

The president is essentially voted directly by the people separate to the legislature (MPs). Kind of a US and French style system. So the weightiest check and balance (upon the executive) is the impeachment process the unicameral legislature has and the 2/3rds majority needed to convict (I...

Just post what you want in this thread (politics, internal affairs etc). The rest of forum is as defence oriented as possible. This is best compromise found over the years regarding the baiting and trolling thats happened (and shoutbox thread spamming etc). All Indian language videos/articles...

The isothermal press is like 2000 ton I think. Different forge, for smaller parts and QC relevant to those (aero engine compressor discs etc) DMRL and Midhani work very closely, like parent-child. So you have to treat them like one family.

It is far more complicated dynamic than that. The victor vs vanquished part of the equation really is something metaphysical in the end, there is not much to explore in objective domain. It is part of reason I rarely visit this thread, there is nothing really left for me to learn or...

I might as well address these all together at the current juncture. The bulkhead being one piece (like the F-35 with the cleveland et al. forge rated at 50k tons) is not a current priority w.r.t capital equipment acquisition for the prototype and maybe limited series production of AMCA too...

Given the time you are investing as well in the current effort, I would be happy to help in any way possible for what you would like to do later as well.

Likely all of the above given there are many parts and sizes in the end....and from what I can see of the capital equipment acquired so far.

india coffee thread (chit chat) seems to handle most of what comes up in cricket. Just tag whom you want to etc....I think the biggest cricket geeks chat wise on forum are myself, afif, jackdaws and saiyan. Ryder also knows his stuff somewhat coz he's aussie-turk.
