A tough US law which authorises the administration to impose sanctions on countries that purchase major defence hardware from Russia is not aimed at taking punitive actions against friends and allies, a senior American diplomat has said. Assistant Secretary of State for Political Military...

An indigenously built interceptor boat was handed over to the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) at an event at Hazira in Surat district on Tuesday. The vessel will operate from Gujarat under the control of the Commander Coast Guard Region (North-West) of the ICG, a Defence release said. Built by Larsen...

India plans test firing of three more strategic missiles this month High on a series of successful trials of indigenous weapon systems, India is all set to test fire a few more strategic missiles – home grown and joint venture project before wrapping up the year. Defence sources said three...

In a major boost for the indigenous defence industry, India is going to make six new Airborne Early Warning and Control planes to be developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on aircraft from Air India to further improve Air Force's surveillance capabilities along borders...

Per reports, IN intends to have a 65k ton carrier with EMALS, loaded with 54 fighter jets and appropriate helos

Budget for two submarine programs running in parallel!! I don't think so since the subs will be built and delivered through a decade and the payments will be made as such Budget for P75I has already been allocated and is a done deal. All IN needs to do now is select the appropriate foreign...

I don't think so...PL-15 reportedly has a range of 250-300km if online sources are to be believed. But development of future Astra variants will reduce dependency on foreign imports and IAF running like headless chickens to Russia and Israel for panic buying and spending a bomb.

That wouldn't necessarily change the fact that US pitted India against china and has no other choice. Also, India will let go any other deal with Russia but S400

IN's argument is one carrier would be in repair or refit works or undergo some kinda upgrade while the other two guard each coast respectively. If all three are operational at the same time which is unlikely, the third could always be deployed in IOR. What'd break the bank is not the carrier...

India is the only option for US to counter china...we're bound to get a waiver for the S400

Twin Rack pylons coming soon to LCA Tejas MK1

Does that also include ammo contract or something like a top notch SOPMOD kit? For instance, this particular variant of EOTech's Quad Ground Panoramic NVD costs $48k. Their thermal sights and binocular NVD costs $22k & $16k respectively Some of the best high end rifle scopes I've seen...

LCA Mk-1A is over-spec'ed and under-spec'ed in certain aspects but might be overkill for USN's trainer requirement. While we're not completely aware of the "LIFT" version, a watered down version of the LCA should do the job

I don't think the consortium could deliver Typhoons any sooner than Dassault or Boeing unless you're getting used Typhoons from their existing inventory. Also, maintenance of Typhoons is ridiculously expensive and it would make more sense going for additional Typhoons instead of Rafales or...
