Another long presentation that I will be looking at later when I have more time @Marlii @Rodeo @Gessler et al. The slides start around 2h 25 mark. The slide summary is on twitter thread too where I first found it just earlier:

Hey new member, there is also an Indian economy thread here you might be interested in updating over time, you might get more conversation in that one by doing so. https://defencehub.live/threads/indian-economy-infra-archive.532/ Hope you spread message of this forum for folks interested in...

Hi old friend. I am happy to see you here. I very much enjoyed reading over such long time the wealth of information you have contributed on the topic of PAF. Please update here whenever possible.

Nice to see you join the forum! Its quieter here, but more useful discussion pops up qualitatively....would appreciate you spreading the word for any folks if this kind of (international) setting is more their cup of tea. All major participant countries get dedicated mods and there is consistent...

I just realised theres actually 4 vizag class, so Kolkata--->Vizag was a 3+4. So likely it will be 4+4 for the successor. Anyway I will tag @Anmdt to see if he can share any extra insight.

It has to do with the combat space taken comprehensively (the intent of the integrated command space). In the naval domain, the A&N islands role for example as its a massive asset, a very large but fixed bunch of aircraft carriers in a prime location. What will its role be, how can be further...

@Smoke You likely already know this but forums can get pretty confrontational on sensitive topics. In transient period (especially when you are new to a place), please do ignore those you need to, while cultivating a good debate/discussion with those you prefer like Joe here who is a vast pool...

If you feel its flaming or rule violation. Just tag me and give it ~ 24 hours as I am online here only at my convenience. Don't feed the flamewar in interim. New members are coming off hot from PDF flamewar atmosphere, so also give them time to adjust to rules here.

I dont know the answers here. Maybe @Gessler has some insight. I have bookmarked the original YT video for later measured perusal and tell you if I gleam anything useful from it. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I often take a somewhat devil's advocate absolutist position just to see if someone will produce a reply like this :love: You are very correct it ultimately boils down to confidence and maturity developed of the platform w.r.t the physical capacities (shipyards and funding). India is lacking...

What was your name on PDF out of interest @Smoke ?

Fair enough. I also have earlier stated that I wish the LCA was mk2 size to begin with...the original Tejas (mk1) is a little too small IMO. But these were all requirements driven from the IAF. They are more or less satisfied with the results and the ecosystem to be had in the 4th and 4.5 gen...

The mk1A comes equipped with the AESA Uttam radar and the arsenal at disposal will be the same as mk 2. So its not question of "not meeting IAF needs" (as these are very much driven qualitatively by the radar and weapon arsenal) though mk2 will certainly augment range/payload on the tejas...
