Ofcourse we'd be happy to sit down for talks but they'd be for PoK & GB

GoI should actively offer and bid for surface fleet tenders of East and South East Asian countries. Looking at the specs of Japanese 30FMM...our Nilgiri-class Frigates look relatively better with one ship already commissioned and 4 under construction Nilgiri class Frigates: 6670 tons...

IAF realized the role of AWACS and EW centric capabilities post Balakot. While PAF has 10+ AWACS in active service with majority of em being the latest Saab Erieye 2000 which we have 4 AWACS with 7 times the land mass One more DRDO Netra AWACS was supposed to be delivered but I guess DRDO...

AWACS is a whole different ball game but they'd still need around 30 fighter jets for INS Vikrant. There's still a high possibility for the Rafale M's if IAF also opts for an additional 36 jets. IAF could potentially go for additional Rafales if MWF gets significantly delayed IN already...

IN is more interested in a medium sized twin engine fighter jet. The F-18 is significantly larger on the lines of an Su-30

Why would we want to get a French nuclear powered sub when we have the INS Chakra SSN (Akula Class) and 2x indigenously designed and built Arihant Class SSBNs with 2 more under construction. We also signed an agreement with Russia in 2019 to lease another Akula-class submarine, which is expected...

So which torpedo armed Malaysian Scorpenes? We also had trouble selecting a torpedo since Black Shark torpedo from Italian WASS was initially selected but WASS being a subsidiary of Finmeccanica which has been blacklisted lead to the cancellation of that proposal. IN went on to look at German...

You're right, the Shortfin Barracuda falls short of an SSN, and we are getting SSNs anyway, so it is a bit of a downgrade compared to what an SSN can do at more or less the same cost I think IN is looking for something between the Barracuda and Scorpene like the SMX 3.0, which seems to be a...

Any particular reason why you were apprehensive of the Scorpene? Solely in terms of technical capabilities...the Scorpene 2000 or any of it's competitors like Russia's Amur class, Navantia's S-80, German TKMS HWD class 214 and Daewoo's KSS-III are all fairly identical despite difference in...

On a high level note, the MWF is an enlarged version of the LCA with enhanced range and capabilities. Here's a basic spec comparison between the two Spec LCA MWF Length 13.2m 14.6m Wingspan 8.2m 8.5m Height 4.4m 4.86m Wing Area 38.4 sq.m 44 sq.m Max Takeoff Weight 13.5 tons 17.5...

I think MWF will be the official nomenclature similar to how the LCA is for the Tejas. I'm sure MWF will have a sanskrit name as well while AMCA is just a different boat and there'd be only two variants of it...the AF and naval version which isn't remotely associated to the MWF

We should stop calling it Mk2 and instead start using "MWF" since it's an entirely different weight class. Also, I hope we discard ORCA & TEDBF projects and divert all resources along with extensive private industry participation to the AMCA project

It's an open tender. The Japs need to find a local partner and submit their bid

OFB's new infantry combat vehicle

One of the very first variants of OFB's Aditya MPV encountered an IED attack...this is back in 2017 in Shopian, Kashmir. The size of the blast seems to be huge judging by the size of the crater...all occupants survived
