This is just what I've heard: A delta wing like the LCA may not be the best platform for training.

So HLFT-42 is not LCA SPORT, but a whole new airframe @Nilgiri

As some expected, the Navy may not want to lose the carrier-building experience accrued by CSL waiting for IAC-2. A repeat order of Vikrant is now plausible...

Vikrant conducts at-sea replenishment with INS Deepak

Barak-8 uses its own proprietary VLS designed by Israel's IAI (which I think is a development of the earlier Barak-1 VLS). Not sure what its called, as it is not sold/marketed separately from the missile system. BrahMos uses a larger, domestically-built system called UVLM made by L&T Defence...

Launch time revised

I meant it as a reference to the scale of their purchases compared to their annual defence spending. Of course it will be spread over multiple years. For the longest while Armenia could only afford to get Russian hand-me-downs (which are cheap to begin with), now something has changed. The...

By the way...an observation: Armenia has spent over $400 million over the last couple months purchasing weapons in India alone ($250 million for MBRLs, ATGMs and now this $155 million). That's over half of their entire defence budget (about ~$750 million). I don't know what else they're buying...

It appears previous reports were slightly incorrect...the item being sold is not the Bharat-52 155mm, 52-cal towed howitzer, but instead its the MaRG 155-BR, a 155mm 39-cal self-propelled howitzer mounted on 4x4 high mobility vehicle. https://www.kssl.in/our-business-artillery

Rumor has it the customer is Saudi Arabia

Kalyani Group has secured a $155 million contract to export its Bharat-52 howitzer (155mm, 52-cal) to an undisclosed foreign customer. The numbers are believed (not yet confirmed) to be in the region of 50-75 units based on the typical price of a 155mm gun...and the customer is speculated to be...

India's first private sector rocket Vikram-S to launch in November: Here's what we know The mission will be historic, since rockets in the country so far have been the domain of the State-owned Indian Space Research Organisation. In Short Prarambh mission is expected to launch in the second...

For what it's worth, I will say this: If German re-alignment does happen, Turkey will be seen as a natural partner & ally in both economic and defence-related matters.

I take it your view is that Germany would choose the first option i.e. roll over & reorganize its economy into a services-based one, despite all the losses it would bring to the current powers that be in Deutschland. I wouldn't say its not a valid option - it very much is, especially if the...
