Hmmm...maybe thats what that german website is talking about with the 2xCE-20 for the SHLV....i.e this methalox engine x2 instead. Hopefully ISRO gives clear picture soon what the routes are firmly. Even though methalox (semi cryo methane + LOX) has slightly worse Isp than full-cryo...

Keep telling yourself that. Things were really bad in the media for a long while before either.

Like I'll bite your "bait" I guess? Have you done an actual number crunch vis a vis %'s relative to flight hours of the platform in IAF use? Something you know how to do or even what that is? Sure whatever you say. I'm sure you will have lot better luck (compared to the dozens of Pakistanis...

I agree with this overall. Pakistan has done reasonably with the situation it got and leveraged it (the close alliance with PRC) to get a decent airframe to fill out its squadrons it can take forward too.

Well working outwards from CE-20 (once its proven+reliable), you are correct about its final potential given its quite the monster for final stage (200kN +/- 20kN). i.e one could technically have variants with immense lower stages to get to the envelope you speak of. Some websites even have a...

The larger point is when the US detected the whereabouts, whether they chose to cooperate with a "Major non nato ally" or didn't (w.r.t "unwittingly" hosting the guy). It more than anything highlighted what the "Major non nato ally" stuff really involved in the end (basic logistics and airspace...

Placeholder name when they hadn't quite figured out how Agni would evolve program wise. It is subsumed now under Agni 6. Honestly Agni 6 is low priority....as we do not really need that land-component w.r.t resource allocation....given Agni 5 covers pretty much we need already from land. Far...

Its like saying the IAF can produce the SU-30 to meet their requirements...just because most of it is "produced" in India. No one reasonable would think to call it Indian aircraft. Certain expectations of countries are there I suppose....when (per year) one gets about a dozen patents granted...

Yep it got posted in page 1, spurring more convo.

What do you mean?

2/ Maitri's father Kantilal used to ferry people from Surat to Mumbai airport for a living and watch the planes take off and land. That's when he decided that his daughter would fly a plane. He even sold off a piece of his land to arrange fees for a flight training course in USA. 3/ After...

This would blow back on India big time internationally. It is against the geneva conventions first of all. India must be very precise as to what the enemy is inside Pakistan....and how to (help by their own hand as they are already doing) further stratify and become more insular from their...

@Joe Shearer probably can weigh in here.
