    India HAL Tejas Program

    2 FOC are being used as test bed for Mk1A. In fact one of them have already test flown with Elta 2052 AESA radar. Another one might fly Uttam or integrating updated console with EW Pod. I think it’s a mini project on how to convert FOC Tejas into Mk1A. Though with low fighter numbers, even...

    India Defence Exports and Relations

    Milking is a strong term. It’s the Armenians which have the requirement and maybe they do. It’s not like India offered an loan and forced them to buy this equipment. I believe it’s also driven by short delivery timeline

    2 ways to look about it. Armenia did ask for weapons AD missiles and To be delivered immediately which india mighty have said no to divert it from their stocks. India is already on standoff with china and Pakistan and can’t spare existing spare. MBRL we have quite a lot and few to spare and...

    India Defence Exports and Relations

    Development of this system has been subsidized by Indian taxpayers. But again this system and it’s iterations have been in production for 20+ years bringing down costs. Every year we spend thousands of projectiles in exercises and order more or less the same to replace them and induct advanced...

    Basic knowledge about RF would say whatever you say cannot be conjured within a short period of time. Are you going to have radar jammers for every bandwidth? If what you say is true, it should be easy to equip 2G phones with 5G technology. Guess what it is not. You just need a basic spectrum...

    Good deal. But not sure how MLRS will help Armenia at this point. Should have ordered Air defence guns and missiles. But long term, if they do survive the drones will be good for offence

    The cost of subsidies quoted is blowed out of context. GoI has earmarked 10B subsidy fund under PLI for 5 companies. And the PLI amount will Be only to the amount of money invested till that point in time to a max of 10B. Don’t think Vedanta and Foxconn is stupid enough to pour 19B in 3 years...

    Lots of challenges involved. Chip manufacturing needs lakhs of litres of fresh waters per day. I recently learnt they can’t even use desalinated water. And associated infrastructure from existing ecosystem. Gujarat has none. And existing chip design engineers are based in tech triangle in the...

    India Coffee House

    Personally don't think there is going to be any reset till President Erdogan is here. Erdogan is silent because he has domestic economic and political issues aplenty that has stopped his rants against India. The moment an press reporter asks about the "K" issue, our President will be back to...

    I would say 200% valid. China is an essential part of electronic supply chain industry. At some point of time, whether through buying out JVs or stealing, Chinese companies have replaced Japanese and US supply chain companies. Their values might be small. Their overall value (of each company)...

    India Quad Archive

    I think we had a discussion on this before. But one more Indian testing is unavoidable. It's coming, either in 1 year or 15 years. That testing is very very essential for our partial NFU policy. Whether we like it or not, lots of questions have been bought up reg '98 testing. Privately believe...

    Shakti was JV mostly in name and for production reasons. Even though we have the know how for Shakti, our knowledge gain or transfer for Shakti is low. I hope we co dev new engine from scratch.

    Seems they are still without MF Star. Which means they still don't have Baraks II yet.

    India HAL Tejas Program

    There are lots of news going around. The first order is always difficult. Let's see. I don't know how the current govt views India politically. They wanted to declare the results last year, Turkey managed to postpone it anyway. And we have had a chance to also propose Su maintenance. I don't...

    One particular reason why Pakistan should be milked to eternity using FATF. They would have eveb given back bin laden if squeezed enough.
