OSINTs did predict PA is gonna fire on the UN vehicles and blame it on India...it's hilarious how this actually turned out to be true and UN not giving a damn about pakistani rants

I'm all in for the AK-203 deal to be scrapped but SSS P-72 rifle is unproven and I don't think any of the forces tested it either. NSG & Para-SF were seen testing their Viper and Saber sniper rifles pre-pandemic but there were no reports after that. If either of the special forces opt for it...

Apart for the cost disparity mentioned in both deals, the AK-203 variant IA opted for isn't actually an AK-203 but is a hybrid of AK-103 & 203. There are much better assault rifles using NATO rounds we can scout for and I'm sure those companies would be willing to offer localized production at...

Any credible source for that info? I spoke to my IA buddy regarding this who is current a Rudra pilot for AAC. Per his colleagues who flew the LCH & LUH, both happened to be on par and better in several aspects over the Dhruv/Rudra

Indigenization has come a long way

Feb-26th showed how PAF effectively used EW and AWACS. They have over twice the number of AWACS with 7 times smaller in land mass. It was evident that Abhi's Mig-21 was blinded which is why he didn't know that he crossed into enemy airspace despite ground controller trying to contact him. Their...

A tough US law which authorises the administration to impose sanctions on countries that purchase major defence hardware from Russia is not aimed at taking punitive actions against friends and allies, a senior American diplomat has said. Assistant Secretary of State for Political Military...

Air India's A321-200 and Air India Express' Boeing 737-800 are the two candidate for DRDOs new AEW&CS project

Coast Guard ship 'Sujit' commissioned in Goa The Indian Coast Guard ship 'Sujeet', the second in the series of 105 metres off-shore patrol vessels, was commissioned in Goa on Tuesday. The vessel will enhance the Indian Coast Guard's operational capability to discharge multifarious maritime...

An indigenously built interceptor boat was handed over to the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) at an event at Hazira in Surat district on Tuesday. The vessel will operate from Gujarat under the control of the Commander Coast Guard Region (North-West) of the ICG, a Defence release said. Built by Larsen...

India plans test firing of three more strategic missiles this month High on a series of successful trials of indigenous weapon systems, India is all set to test fire a few more strategic missiles – home grown and joint venture project before wrapping up the year. Defence sources said three...

In a major boost for the indigenous defence industry, India is going to make six new Airborne Early Warning and Control planes to be developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on aircraft from Air India to further improve Air Force's surveillance capabilities along borders...

Per reports, IN intends to have a 65k ton carrier with EMALS, loaded with 54 fighter jets and appropriate helos

Budget for two submarine programs running in parallel!! I don't think so since the subs will be built and delivered through a decade and the payments will be made as such Budget for P75I has already been allocated and is a done deal. All IN needs to do now is select the appropriate foreign...

I don't think so...PL-15 reportedly has a range of 250-300km if online sources are to be believed. But development of future Astra variants will reduce dependency on foreign imports and IAF running like headless chickens to Russia and Israel for panic buying and spending a bomb.

That wouldn't necessarily change the fact that US pitted India against china and has no other choice. Also, India will let go any other deal with Russia but S400

IN's argument is one carrier would be in repair or refit works or undergo some kinda upgrade while the other two guard each coast respectively. If all three are operational at the same time which is unlikely, the third could always be deployed in IOR. What'd break the bank is not the carrier...

India is the only option for US to counter china...we're bound to get a waiver for the S400

India working on next ‘Astra’ missile with 160 km range as Mk1 is integrated in IAF & Navy India is working on an extended range of the indigenous beyond-visual-range (BVR) air-to-air missile ‘Astra’ (Sanskrit/Hindi for a launched weapon), which will enable it to strike enemy targets 160 km...
