ISS is now in its last decade of operation, even as per original plan it was to be deorbited in next 9 years. Russia was made part of the program because at the time relations were better + US manned spaceflight was spotty, having to rely on Russian Soyuz launches. Today that's no longer the...

@Paro @Nilgiri @Rajaraja Chola According to a few French members (retired professionals) on another forum, India got access to this facility: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_M%C3%A9gajoule

What's wrong with the Leopards?

This form factor seems popular for compact swarming drones. ALFA-S developed in India by NewSpace (pvt company), part of the Combat Air Teaming System (CATS) program: First flown sometime last year

What appears to be (to my untrained eye), a new submarine building dock (actually two docks side-by-side) well into construction a short distance north of the first one at SBC Vizag (which popped out S2, S3 & S4 and is now building S4*): At approx ~185 meters long, its big enough to...

Keeping in mind the fact that the S-5 class SSBN will probably have 12 missile tubes storing K-5 or K-6 intercontinental SLBMs (which will most definitely have Multiple Independently-targeted Re-entry Vehicles or MIRVs)....each S-5 boat, even if we assume a relatively modest MIRV capacity of 3...

Actually this is the first time I'm hearing about it - thanks for sharing! As of NaVIC in commercial applications, I know that Garmin released handheld navigation with it:

Good riddance. The boat they wanted to offer (Amur) simply doesn't exist, neither does a functional Russian AIP solution. It would've been a waste of paperwork to entertain their bid. Frankly, I have very little faith in the whole P-75I program...I feel the program is addressing a requirement...

An Addendum to the India section of my above posts: Considering this policy document specifically talks about the Indo-Pacific, several other matters are left out. What would also be interesting is how the US-India relationship interfaces with the 'Mid-East Quad' that's developing with Israel &...

In the midst of his visit to Australia for a Foreign Ministerial meeting of QUAD nations, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken tweeted out the Fact Sheet of the United States Indo-Pacific Strategy, the first such region-specific policy document released by the White House/National Security...

:love:

You're welcome - you should just ignore them. :) Mid-East Quad does not directly concern China anyway - world doesn't revolve around you.

UAE’s Ambassador to India Ahmed AlBanna says new grouping that first met in Oct 2021 is ‘an offspring of Abraham Accord’, critical to combat threats to economic growth & stability. NAYANIMA BASU 10 February, 2022 09:53 pm IST UAE Ambassador to India, Dr. Ahmed Al Banna New Delhi: Ahmed...

Pics of SFDR from 2020 DEFEXPO:

There are few other considerations as well. The carrier platform has to be very survivable so it has the best chance to get to the target location in one piece. At one point in time, among IAF fleet it was Jag & M2K, in foreseeable future it will be Rafale. Survivability simply meaning the...

(one of) the hydrodynamic testing models for S-5 class SSBN seems like, thanks to GODOFPARADOXES

New DDG will have 2 types of VLS - Mk.41 for SAM/BMD/LACM rounds (amidships) & a new larger VLS upfront for Hypersonic weapons. This is now more or less going to be a global trend as adoption of Scramjet weapons with large boosters happens. Legacy Universal VLS will not be able to accommodate...
