An annual production rate of 80-100 Brahmos is too low if we're vying for exports as well...not to mention this will also arm pretty much every fighter jet in IAF's inventory and potentially arm the attack helos as well

Looks like your trigger happy thought process is mired with serious comprehension issues. Where did I even compare Rafale's competency with the J-10? I was simply briefing about the origin of J-10 Secondly, our authorities sucked when it came to disinfo warfare compared to your ISPR and his bot...

Something to note is Brahmos-NG is "near hypersonic" and not exactly hypersonic which indicates it'll reach speeds in excess of Mach-4 Brahmos is also developing a fully hypersonic variant dubbed the "Brahmos-II" with an operational range of 1000km and capable of reaching Mach-8

While the who saga of production, timely delivery and establishing a robust supply chain along with high availability of spares are issues which come at a later note...GoI/MoD should focus on bagging the contract and for this to happen, they need to employ PR firms and lobbying groups to...

When it comes to palm oil imports, India is second to none and when it comes to Malaysian exports which is the second largest palm oil exporter, India is it's biggest consumer accounting for twice that of China It is absolutely absurd for China to pitch in their jet when RMAF's primary...

In that regard, I don't think any helmet provides protection against weather and extreme temps due to the open gaps. From a cold weather gear standpoint and since you've also experienced North American winters, an expensive winter jacket alone wouldn't offering much insulation but layering works...

It really depends on the range at which the victim is shot at. Very recently, a soldier died on LoC I believe and the AK round punched a hole in his Patka and you must've seen the picture on DFI too. Secondly, the area of coverage which Patka offers is very low and is easy to hit and not miss...

Of course Attack chopper's primary role is to support mechanized columns and ground units but my point being PLA has hundreds of these to support their formations on LAC along with active UAV/UCAV support while PAA is likely to induct more since their initial attempt to procure the T-129...

I wonder what's stopping us from replacing the Patkas where we have several hundred thousands still in usage including Para SF sporting them in several occasions

@Gessler Given China arming PAA/PAF with Z-10ME, when do you think is the possibility for IAF & IA to place significant orders for the LCH now that HAL also setup an additional hangar last year to produce 30 LCHs per year? As of now, I believe the 15LCHs' order will be distributed between IAF & AAC

Realistically, IA doesn't have any other option for a light tank to navigate along the LAC in such high altitudes and terrains. Sprut is the only option available but even the Russians didn't induct it except for some token numbers but for whatever reason, IA isn't keen on it either This...

It’s L&T for Light Tank ! Putting all the speculations to rest, “We now can confirm, its L&T with CVRDE that will make the light tank for Indian Army”. Larsen & Toubro has cleared the Techno-commercial Evaluation stage for the development of assembly test chassis and its related subsystems. As...

Indo-China conflict in the Aksai Chin region...it might be fought with clubs and batons though like how we've been fighting over the last couple of years

What did the Russian contract include?

and more importantly we should focus on reducing imports from china and try to bridge the trade deficit which is in excess of $60bn currently. Try to lure international companies to setup shop in India

A welcome move by GoI...this will help in pumping more investments, improving the economy thereby uplifting the lives of locals, employment opportunities and luring they away from joining terrorist groups, inflow of other demographics into the valley and diluting the hostility of certain locals...

Chegdu's original proposal of the J-10 is based on it's cancelled J-9 program which in turn is based on Saab's 37 Viggen. After the fall of Soviet Union, the chinese hired Russian engineers to build most of their weapons systems which is why you see a ton of similarities between chinese &...
