No idea yet....but it looks to be at least (end-end) twice to thrice the total hardware, manhours, capital time etc... of CY-3. i.e essentially two launches combining into one mission with a whole lot of extras governing this too. So I would say we can estimate somewhere in ballpark of that...

Original presentation (gonna go watch it later myself):

I saw the aurora from it....damn pretty.

Maybe to cross-compare and reference with DRDO own AIP project. These are all pricey things to do, so synergy potentials likely play some part in decision making. Li-ion that is still long while away for DRDO to cut its teeth on.

Yah them adding "among other imports and Indian securities.".... already kind of tipped me off as to the clickbait likelihood of the title. Maybe some higher up journo/editor jumped gun conveniently on tieing "securities" to defence, arms etc :LOL: I mean there is things vostro rupee likely...

Excellent news, meteor is extremely potent addition to the arsenal. Is Korea working on its own A2A missile programs?

Honestly its just one news source reporting this right now, so we will have to wait for more details/follow up. It could very well be a fluff piece too....or investments instead of outright buying (by Russia buying stakes into Indian companies/bond market etc that may or may not be related to...

https://www.firstpost.com/world/russian-firms-spend-4-billion-dollar-from-rupee-vostro-accounts-to-buy-india-arms-rupee-13769478.html Exporters in Russia, who started trading with India using Indian rupees, have recently spent nearly $4 billion to buy India-made defence equipment and armaments...

The significant difference in the "pyramid sizes" so to speak stem from the quality control (QC) related to the larger feedback loop of mass production/application available in the ecosystem (and then proximate ecosystems) There exist roughly summarized two versions for countries engaged in the...

CCP is full of strategic missteps regarding its nation (China), state (PRC) and its neighbourhood (nations, states and nationstates). Right from dawn of not retiring Mao after the civil war (of which WW2 overlapped with) ended....and having to shoulder the terrible burdens he imposed given the...

Yup exactly. There is unmatched qualitative distillation that occurs in this forum specifically in its way. I have not seen it anywhere else online as places easily go for quantity trolling and other such things to pump up volume with fluff and any good quality folks present cant really hear...

Its not like it has not happened before. US lost its basing at subic bay after marcos (dad of current guy) departure and original acquino coming to power...and the PH then demanding about 1 billion or so per year for continued US operations there (that the US didn't see as a fair price and...

Rest of it concerns with if you have X amount of total shipyard capacity for say a forseen chunk of 10 years dictating current production run dynamics etc.... how much do you allot to wartime vs peacetime needs.....a distillation of the threat analysis (to then debate within that context). If...

The OPVs IN (or CG) have will be nowhere near a wartime theatre, they will be sanitised/corraled away from the operational spaces foreseen along with regular (peacetime) shipping traffic.....i.e the body public of shipping they are tasked with being around to begin with for ROI of...

Glad Tessy Thomas was assigned here, her guidance hopefully will produce more fruit soon

OPV is not meant for wartime though. They are peacetime security operation, but you are right these should maybe be allocated to CG instead. The endurance requirements are what determine their major design driver in India's case along with the coastal sensor network post 2008 Mumbai attacks...

Bharat dynamics limited (BDL) Facility walkthrough. They got some very interesting close up footage that was surprisingly allowed (kind of thing impossible not too long ago IMO) @Gessler @Zapper @Afif @TR_123456 et al.
