This also marks 7 out of 7 successful launches for the LVM3...this is truly turning out to be a reliable launch vehicle, couldn't ask for a better platform for the upcoming human spaceflight missions! Pics from yesterday's launch:

Just about an hour before launch. Fingers crossed.

Hard to say...there is no active intent or roadmap to procure a 6th gen capability at the moment. Without such a directive/request from IAF, the Govt is not going to fund any program. In the future (~2040-2050s), the MKIs will need a next-gen replacement centered around air-superiority roles...

News from last month, but hugely significant at indicating the battery R&D capabilities of domestic companies: JLR leverages Tata Group synergies, selects Agratas as battery partner for 720km range EVs Tata Group-owned Agratas is to supply battery packs of up to 120kWh capacity for future...

I'm able to think of 4 main reasons why the Rafale was chosen over the F/A-18 for Navy: 1) Commonality with IAF. With things like Joint Logistics Nodes (JLNs) taking shape, plus Performance-Based Logistics contracts in place, maintenance of a very high availability & sortie rate will become...
