On this topic, I'll quote from my post elsewhere on internet: "...Recently, there were back-to-back tests of a new version of the BrahMos cruise missile platform from both ship (VLS launch from recently-commissioned P-15B DDG) & land (triple-tube ground launcher). The official releases...

As I said, its unclear at the moment. The highest envelop that the M88 core can be pushed currently is 95-105kN for the M88-4E (ECO) variant. But that's only the theoretical maximum, far as I know the ECO demonstrator only pushed up to ~90kN AB. So unless there were some major breakthroughs in...

India and France are close to concluding a deal, likely in the next couple of months, for the joint development of a 125KN engine for the indigenous fifth generation Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) under development, according to defence officials. The collaboration is between the Defence...

Latest news: India-US Deal For 30 Armed Predator Drones At Advanced Stages: Report India and the United States have intensified the discussions and increased the number of such drones to be sold to India from 10 to 30 - 10 each for navy, air force and army. These state-of-the-art Predator...

NASM-SR and NASM-MR (bottom-right) via Godofparadoxes MR appears to be a fundamentally different missile system with a different propulsion setup. Seems to be a derivative of Nirbhay (if the pic is correct). Makes sense...SR is mostly intended for air-launched applications from naval...

What I'm taking away from statements made from official figures so far is that they're being very measured & calculated wrt India. Yes, the immediate crisis is Russia and this will last the next few news cycles, so focus is there right now. But there's no indication that the larger aim of Asia...

ISS is now in its last decade of operation, even as per original plan it was to be deorbited in next 9 years. Russia was made part of the program because at the time relations were better + US manned spaceflight was spotty, having to rely on Russian Soyuz launches. Today that's no longer the...

@Paro @Nilgiri @Rajaraja Chola According to a few French members (retired professionals) on another forum, India got access to this facility: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_M%C3%A9gajoule

What's wrong with the Leopards?

This form factor seems popular for compact swarming drones. ALFA-S developed in India by NewSpace (pvt company), part of the Combat Air Teaming System (CATS) program: First flown sometime last year

What appears to be (to my untrained eye), a new submarine building dock (actually two docks side-by-side) well into construction a short distance north of the first one at SBC Vizag (which popped out S2, S3 & S4 and is now building S4*): At approx ~185 meters long, its big enough to...

Keeping in mind the fact that the S-5 class SSBN will probably have 12 missile tubes storing K-5 or K-6 intercontinental SLBMs (which will most definitely have Multiple Independently-targeted Re-entry Vehicles or MIRVs)....each S-5 boat, even if we assume a relatively modest MIRV capacity of 3...

Actually this is the first time I'm hearing about it - thanks for sharing! As of NaVIC in commercial applications, I know that Garmin released handheld navigation with it:

Good riddance. The boat they wanted to offer (Amur) simply doesn't exist, neither does a functional Russian AIP solution. It would've been a waste of paperwork to entertain their bid. Frankly, I have very little faith in the whole P-75I program...I feel the program is addressing a requirement...

An Addendum to the India section of my above posts: Considering this policy document specifically talks about the Indo-Pacific, several other matters are left out. What would also be interesting is how the US-India relationship interfaces with the 'Mid-East Quad' that's developing with Israel &...

In the midst of his visit to Australia for a Foreign Ministerial meeting of QUAD nations, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken tweeted out the Fact Sheet of the United States Indo-Pacific Strategy, the first such region-specific policy document released by the White House/National Security...
