    India India - Pakistan Relations

    Words don't necessarily replicate actions and we've learned that from history be it Kargil or the likes since Army>Govt in pak. Wouldn't be surprised if pak's foreign/security policy is being drafted by china. We should be extremely cautious and wary of pakistan and china's nefarious designs

    My point is what exactly is the need for Talwar when we are actively constructing Nilgiris. Though Talwars are smaller at 4k tons compared to Nilgiri's 6k tons and more suitable for shallow waters, we can easily modify Nilgiris to develop a smaller version. Also, 2 of the 4 ships are being...

    We'd have to see what projects this will actually affect. MoD has already released a list of 100+ weapons systems sometime last year which are banned from imports either because we have an indigenous alternative or a project in advanced stages But we still have some active acquisitions and...

    India HAL Tejas Program

    Are you referring to the Super Sukhoi upgrade? I assume that is unlikely to happen and HAL will end up installing it's own upgrades of certain sub-systems developed by DRDO and it's entities (I posted the list of upgrades picture along with entire revamp of cockpit somewhere on this forum...

    What's behind Pakistan's rumoured purchase of Chinese fighter jets?

    Most of the last two decades were lost in the constant changes, delays, funding shortage, setup of test facilities etc that LCA program had to face and even after IOC approval until recently, the production rate was also fairly low. Not to mention, the MoD babus and IAF top brass were money...

    What's behind Pakistan's rumoured purchase of Chinese fighter jets?

    Lol...that's what fanboys have been saying since 2015. Even if we sign a deal today, it'll be way too late since we're last in line given Dassault's order book and most world countries would start inducting 5th gen fighters. Wouldn't be surprised if china offers PAF their J-31 or the likes

    India HAL Tejas Program

    Current line produces 8 jets per year. With two additional lines, that should be 24 jets but why is it only 16 unless one line will solely be used for exports Additionally, the Su-30 lines will be idle and I wonder if they can be modified at least for the MWF to initiate production

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    I believe Nirbhay is a tech demonstrator, not a production variant even though few missiles with the Russian Turbojet engine have been inducted into the forces. Even in the recent interview with ARDE's director, he mentioned that few more tests and evaluations will be needed with GTRE's MANIK...

    We're not closing down the Iranian option but my point is we should still utilize the pak route

    What's behind Pakistan's rumoured purchase of Chinese fighter jets?

    While you're response is in no way apt to Gessler's post which again reflects your blind hatred, which fighter jets is IAF buying after the Balakot incident? The MMRCA was first envisioned in 2008 for 126 jets in which Rafale was finalized but due to political and economic issues, it was later...
