Apparently, Norton's new 1200cc V4 engines are being made by TVS in India: Makes sense... I remember reading (probably in Autocar India) about somebody saying they saw large 4-cylinder mills being built during a TVS factory tour. Good on TVS for making proper superbike engines! The experience...

More details on the IFR mechanism:

From what I understand, the HyFly/Zircon type inlet handles AoA changes much better, and is perhaps best reserved for missiles that operate in the lower hypersonic regime (Mach 5-7 or thereabout), while the Waverider type inlets are better for higher mach regimes (~M9). As far as Scramjet...

Pretty sure that's just a lid that falls off a short while after launch. The BrahMos uses something similar during launch (mostly to protect the inlet from FOD etc.): But we know it comes off ultimately: As of the Zircon, pretty sure it's air-breathing. Probably uses inlets similar to the...

🇮🇳🇸🇪 An MoU was signed between the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA) during PM Modi's visit to Sweden. While work regarding the Swedish payload on India's Venus mission, Shukrayaan, was already underway, it has now been formally...

If it's something pursued under the Tata Group, I'm wondering if it might be related to the Grob G180 SPn. Tata purchased all the IP rights of this plane from Grob Aircraft a while ago, so now only Tata can authorize its construction. If they're talking about any Indian aircraft (not under...

Yeah that's what I was afraid of. I found the press release section for IDEF 2023 but it seems these charts aren't available there. Just pics of some individual systems.

Is there a clearer version of the 3rd pic? I could go with AI-upscaling but that tends to mess up a lot of the text & details.

The Agni-V Mk2 (Divyastra) is an advanced, MIRV capable iteration of the Agni-V. Major improvements include replacement of maraging steel first stage casing with one manufactured using carbon composite filament winding, It is India's largest composite casing for now. That, combined with the use...

As of now, I'm afraid there isn't really much of a credible deterrence posture against China to begin with. Let alone taking the ABMs into account. The reason for that is that I feel true credibility only comes with a survivable second-strike capability. While it appears the K-4 SLBM might...
