Yah that article is why I tagged you here to show what I mean about the PLI....i.e incentives to scale the ecosystem past the final assembly stage. https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/apple-samsung-give-5-bn-thrust-to-india-s-local-manufacturing-scheme-122011801205_1.html The...

They actually called it "sky net" too? @Paro @Jackdaws @AlphaMike et al. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-19/china-operations-to-force-fugitives-back/100747234 A human rights organisation says China is abducting and intimidating political dissidents and their families living overseas in...

Staggering incentive relative to value addition @Saithan : https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/cons-products/electronics/apple-samsung-may-make-handsets-worth-5-billion-in-fy22/articleshow/88962202.cms

J-20 has 4 (main bay) + another 2 (one on each side in the rotation dolley thing they have there in that side volume) = 6 "internal" The extra 2 in side are IIRC shorter range AAM. But there is talk that J-20 can stagger 6 in the main bay if they incorporate another mechanism for it. so 6 + 2...

India is one of only a handful of nations that have sent probes to the moon and Mars. But the most impressive part of its space program is its cost-effectiveness. Unlike other government space organizations, India's agency is extremely efficient, with the lowest cost-per-kilogram in the...

Any updates on this visit? Some defence deal announcements were made as expected in any case.

TR govt should rationalise tariffs and incentives relative to the value-addition. Right now lot of assembly-heavy investments have just about 10% value addition done (at best).... So 90% of the value (IP, PCB, component fab, battery etc) is offshored and thats a big deal (you end up becoming...

I hope to see the PLI + MSME (and other support to MSME finally being given by govt esp after 2020 covid wrecking ball) channel some degree to address this now. Its long overdue.....the use of india's market cap to leverage into better investment for the bulk of labour at hand.

It definitely should. APS should be standard feature on any tank upgrade these days.

Its matter of time and context in the end. Turkey is still fresh from some pretty awful stuff (regarding its birthing into modern nationstate republic). Large parts of developing world its same case. For Germany (or any "developed" democracy archetype used as reference)....one merely needs to...

I'll be stealing this quote to use later. Thanks!

One of my favourite corvette archetypes are now starting to get retired: Older pic: The class would be succeeded by similar kora class (one of which I had pleasure of boarding during its stopover in Singapore) This class at the time in turn replaced the Soviet petya class (which were found...

What do members think/analyse of this? @Jackdaws @Milspec @Gessler @Zapper @crixus et al. ======================= More good signs happening: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/6-billion-in-2-weeks-india-inc-bonds-a-big-hit-overseas/articleshow/88940791.cms...

There is significant inertia between GE and TEI. That is also what goes on between Safran and HAL. Open tender (w.r.t ToT) from square one is suboptimal compared to harnessing a known/proven inertia (given time, resource and capital spent so far) over a fairly large time period. "ToT" in jet...

Bro lets see. All have plus and negative points and schedules and timeline pressure. These things (And continuing timeline discussion you are having on hurjet thread) is stuff best analysed in rearview....as we are not in the decision-maker head about priority matrix and evaluation and what is...

Thanks bro, this is it precisely. Also thank you to whomever moved the spate of relevant replies to this LCA tender separate thread. The TFX+Hurjet thread is best served for technical discussion only as far as possible. Earlier some put down TFX and I intervened/countered that stuff (using up...

Hope mods bear with me on this one....I'd rather just give my thoughts on some of the last few replies (regd Hurjet, Malaysia LCA tender and confluence with politics/off-topic stuff, other factors and defence deals in general) in one larger way rather than smaller repetitive chunks. In...

You know what, I absolutely love this rivalry (that carries on, how can it not?) from the history of Britain. The waning and waxing of the respective regal and lords and barons of both sides....and the bedrock identities.. Whenever england waned from relative wax (edward 2 after longshanks...

His contention (I would imagine) is that the move to finance+services was done (by the leadership class) without proper guided reference+input+impact analysis from the British people I would imagine. It is very much in the end how people perceive leadership class w.r.t the larger population...
