Looks like a COTS GPS also being used.....

Outgoing VN ambassador to India talks about the growing defence ties (like VINBAX) and also commercial and cultural ties. Very well spoken and passionate gentleman. His successor hopefully continues the positive trajectory as well as possible.

Best wishes to all Turkish members and their nation on their victory day.

Yes humanitarian aid should be external to politics.

I'd say this is more or less my take on it too. It has been accelerated ever since Obama lost the 2010 midterms heavily and he weaponised identity politics (to stitch the so-called intersectional coalition) to push past what couldn't be done cleanly and with policy arguments. All with the...

uranium one and killary. nuff said.

Mostly a summary of what happened in month of july this year:

The strategy will be optimized appropriately and there will be greater reliance on surface ships (and P-8 poseidon etc) for underwater threats. There will be less direct deterrence potential compared to SSN (given SSN's extra degrees of freedom in its specific realm), but there will be similar...

Fatigue simulation and testing would involve broad spectrum of expected load profile and expected durations etc. G-loads would be the largest component of these in general, but there would be plenty of others like vibration, pressurization cycles, known impact loads and so on. These all depend...

CATOBAR vs EMALS would be something to be determined with time. It will "at least be" the former....but if IFEP cooperation with US/UK/France goes well (a MOU has been signed with a GE arm where all 3 countries are involved)..... and trust is built/leveraged well.....it could very well extend...

Had to look for it, its here: https://defencehub.live/threads/indian-navy-general-archive.93/page-12#post-139350 However one has to remember this is during phase (1990 - 2020) when India was moving into an investment ramp (still ongoing) unlike more matured capacities in west (and also...

We just started off on wrong foot on this forum, it happens (trust me I share lot of your concerns about India, but this forum has a way to go about it best that you will find with time and experience here). So there is no real reason to not agree on many things on all kind of topics simply...

I entirely agree. That was always what I have suggested for some time now given the stretched resources and priority matrix I foresee.

For transient foreign platform (i.e these 2), I would say F-18 is looking more likely at this point. It is not officially chosen yet though. India intends to have its own TEDBF as the "final" selection for use in its carrier program, but that is well after say F-18 is acquired.

The way I see the situation, I would imagine Indian navy logisticians/analysts have factored in such things as: - 2 years off the bat simply to get the new drydock (at CSL) online at this size (310 m and 65,000 ton DWT). There is no other drydock currently to handle this size and type of ship...

What's this, Indonesia casanova competition in warkop lol.

Happy birthday. 🎂 🎉 FWIW lot of your posts make me chuckle....so I'm glad you are here.
