If Hanwa brochure says K9 has been extensively tested, that's enough for the punks sitting at IA. I'm glad MoD is banning imports for certain systems but they should also ensure IA doesn't take advantage of any loopholes like emergency procurements which IA will definitely utilize

Imagine if an indigenous system had to be modified similar to this! IA would cancel the whole project, brand DRDO as incompetent, raise issues of immediate threat and use emergency procurement route to get foreign systems Athos is a dumb proposal in the first place...we have the DRDO ATAGS...

First up, I don't see a reason for IA to go specifically for additional K9s' except for their love of foreign maal and scuttling like headless chickens when faced with a thread and end up spending exponentially more than what they could actually get these systems for. These artillery guns from...

With the number of American sub-systems going in Gripen, it's not any different from getting a complete US platform like the F-16

These artillery guns from Kalyani were under testing last year Bharat 52 Marg T (desi m777 ) Truck mounted Marg T Garuda 105

American engines are even an issue for us since our current LCA Tejas uses GE-404 while 3 future fighter jet programs under development will be using the GE-414. I'd say go for a similar route like us where we are collaborating with France's Safran to develop an engine which suits our current...

The irony lol

India obsession

The NOTAM is for 750km while TASS also reported the development of P800 Oniks ER version previously in 2019. An year before, HT reported that an 800km Brahmos will be tested. Unsure if that took place but TASS did report last year that Russia & India are working on the development of 800km Brahmos

Any official source of the range?

6 seems feasible but 8 is hard to fit horizontally next to each other unless vertically stacked which will result in a bulkier undercarriage AMCA's IWB is shown in the below picture

8 internal is pretty big number. Even the J-20 being one of the largest 5th gen fighter can only accommodate 4 AAMs (PL series) in it's internal weapons bay with another 4 external hardpoints The length and wingspan of J-20 & TFX are identical though TFX is taller while J-20 has more wing...

Where will US's Iron Dome likely to deployed? Somewhere in the middle east I suppose

How many can fit in the internal weapons bay and how many external hardpoints?

I believe AMCA's prototyping has been delayed a bit due to the pandemic but parts production has been started for the prototypes. Unlike our other two programs (MWF & TEDBF) which incorporate a lot of technologies from the LCA project, AMCA uses a whole range of newer more advanced tech. Sensor...

They've sort of already given up cozying with pak after we threatened to reduce the palm oil trade. Matter of fact, we reduced it for a brief period and went to Indonesia instead who was more than willing to fulfill our requirements which is when Malaysian ministers and palm oil lobby requested...

India does have a 5th gen project termed AMCA (Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft) https://defencehub.live/threads/amca-program.413/ Additional, India can also offer the MWF (LCA Tejas Mk-2) which is a more capable enlarged version of the current version. It's current status is metal cutting for...
