This report came out over a week ago. They pulled out 10k out of the 50k troops deployed and also the constant rotation of frontline troops reflect their inability to get acquainted to high altitude extreme temps despite their fancy housing enclosures, advanced Martian gear and their heating...

Any idea what drones were used for the demo?

In a first, India demonstrates combat drone swarm system NEW DELHI: In a first, India has demonstrated an offensive swarm drone system that simulated taking down a range of targets, ranging from tanks, terror camps, helipads and fuel dumps at the annual Army Day parade in the capital. The...

Atleast we're on a roll ordering indigenous stuff. What MoD should really order moving forward are DRDO's MP-ATGM and ATAGS in place of Spike & Athos but the manufacturer should be a private firm, Kalyani's artillery systems...particularly their ULH and truck mounted howitzer, Tata/Mahindra's...

India is a leader in global pharma exports...something which we're really good at. I don't think it's a good idea to club our pharma industry with defence. Serum Institute of India is the world's largest producer of vaccines When Denel went under the bus, Kalyani and other such firms bought...

India should expedite shipment to Brazil and all other countries. Bangladesh already backed off and went for Pfizer due to delays and pricing with SII's vaccine

Raja Gopuram of Arunachaleswarar Temple Thiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu Present temple structure was built by Cholas in 9th century CE. Later expanded by Vijayanagara rulers RajaGopuram - World's 3rd Tallest Gopuram!!

This is hugeeee...HAL should now up it's game to increase production rate. Interestingly, 10 of them will be Mk-1 trainers while 73 are Mk-1As' Also, 500 Indian MSME's will be part of the contract https://pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=1688287

I don't see a reason for commonality when the systems we're inducting are indigenous and that should be the way forward. I'd rather have Astra integrated on all our platforms over Meteor or any other foreign missile. Meteors equipped on the Rafales will create the same psychological impact...

The PL-15 is unproven and bleeds energy at it's terminal phase...there's a high possibility to dodge with the right evasive maneuvers if their claims are to be trusted. Also, I doubt the current Chinese AESA radars would be able to effectively track targets in excess of 300km. Even the upcoming...

It would end up with the same fate as our assault rifles tender. Two tranches of 93k rifles each were ordered from Sig while the AK-203 deal will most likely be cancelled. The same with Spike ATGMs where the deal has been cancelled multiple times to procure DRDO's MPATGM. Eventually, emergency...

I don't see why we need Meteors on the Tejas. The meteor has a range of 120km (NEZ 60km best in class) while Astra Mk-1 with 110km and Astra Mk-2 with 160km. Mk-1 has already been inducted by IAF while Mk-2 is in trails. We can expect longer and faster versions of Astra in the near future. Post...

There's not much help required for the LCA Mk-2 or the MWF since it's essentially a larger version of the Tejas...larger airframe, bigger engine, more hardpoints, replacing Israeli radar, EW suite and avionics with indigenous ones What we need help with is Kaveri engine and potential...

I believe it was Israel's defence ministry which was lobbying for Athos. Even though they offered 70% local sourcing, it would just kill both Dhanush & ATAGS and near future hope of self-reliance in artillery systems
