F18 might win. Their main advantage is their 2 seaters operable from carriers..

I would say 200% valid. China is an essential part of electronic supply chain industry. At some point of time, whether through buying out JVs or stealing, Chinese companies have replaced Japanese and US supply chain companies. Their values might be small. Their overall value (of each company)...

I think we had a discussion on this before. But one more Indian testing is unavoidable. It's coming, either in 1 year or 15 years. That testing is very very essential for our partial NFU policy. Whether we like it or not, lots of questions have been bought up reg '98 testing. Privately believe...

Shakti was JV mostly in name and for production reasons. Even though we have the know how for Shakti, our knowledge gain or transfer for Shakti is low. I hope we co dev new engine from scratch.

Seems they are still without MF Star. Which means they still don't have Baraks II yet.

There are lots of news going around. The first order is always difficult. Let's see. I don't know how the current govt views India politically. They wanted to declare the results last year, Turkey managed to postpone it anyway. And we have had a chance to also propose Su maintenance. I don't...

The model that flew definitely had an vert stabilizer. The previous video if Ghatak undergoing taxi trials had none.

There are 2 different videos. Indicating 2 different Protos. One with a vertical stabilizer. One without. Check the video of last 5 seconds.

One particular reason why Pakistan should be milked to eternity using FATF. They would have eveb given back bin laden if squeezed enough. The world s finally beginning to make stuff work in Pakistan. I would like IK to come back to power and shamelessly beg US for another phone call from Biden...

Who is going to buy it?

It's possible. I think Agni V was only recently inducted after several user trials. So they wanted to have Agni IV in the meantime. Agni V has several new tech, carrying over several improvement from Agni Prime which I think have delayed it's induction. Anyway I am eagerly awaiting for K5 SLBM...

Pretty surprised India inducted Agni IV. I was under the impression that they skipped it and went to Agni V directly as Agni IV does not give any advantage over our adversaries. I mean Agni II and III already covers Pakistan. IV is an overkill and doesn't cover whole of China which the V does...

What is Indian army air support officer? More so maybe related to Helis. Even if it's there, what they have to do with Astra missiles which is an exclusive domain of the IAF.

Indecisiveness among Indian leadership. Even when this new MRFA was launched, many people questioned it's purpose when Tejas Mk2 was already in the offing and they both will enter production at the same time. IAF stuck to it's gun saying it needed them. The MoD or PM should have convinced or...

Sure. You can merge it later. Just wanted to discuss the implications of this missile. Would potentially replace Harpoons (in longer term) and Sea eagle, kh35. Would also be an great selling point of Dhruv if they integrate it on them.

Range of 5 to 55km. First in series of indigenous heli bourne anti ship missiles.

There is nothing interesting in the article uunfortunately. We help them for what? So we can gift ourselves another 26/11 a few years from now? TBH I have my sympathies with the common citizens of Pakistan. But at the end of the day, they are not the deciding authority. Their establishment is...

Watched it live since 2 am here

Needs an separate thread. Rare India winning world cup other than Cricket, Hockey and Kabbadi. Indos was very hopeful Indonesia will make it 15th.
