It definitely should. APS should be standard feature on any tank upgrade these days.

Its matter of time and context in the end. Turkey is still fresh from some pretty awful stuff (regarding its birthing into modern nationstate republic). Large parts of developing world its same case. For Germany (or any "developed" democracy archetype used as reference)....one merely needs to...

I'll be stealing this quote to use later. Thanks!

One of my favourite corvette archetypes are now starting to get retired: Older pic: The class would be succeeded by similar kora class (one of which I had pleasure of boarding during its stopover in Singapore) This class at the time in turn replaced the Soviet petya class (which were found...

What do members think/analyse of this? @Jackdaws @Milspec @Gessler @Zapper @crixus et al. ======================= More good signs happening: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/6-billion-in-2-weeks-india-inc-bonds-a-big-hit-overseas/articleshow/88940791.cms...

There is significant inertia between GE and TEI. That is also what goes on between Safran and HAL. Open tender (w.r.t ToT) from square one is suboptimal compared to harnessing a known/proven inertia (given time, resource and capital spent so far) over a fairly large time period. "ToT" in jet...

Bro lets see. All have plus and negative points and schedules and timeline pressure. These things (And continuing timeline discussion you are having on hurjet thread) is stuff best analysed in rearview....as we are not in the decision-maker head about priority matrix and evaluation and what is...

Thanks bro, this is it precisely. Also thank you to whomever moved the spate of relevant replies to this LCA tender separate thread. The TFX+Hurjet thread is best served for technical discussion only as far as possible. Earlier some put down TFX and I intervened/countered that stuff (using up...

Hope mods bear with me on this one....I'd rather just give my thoughts on some of the last few replies (regd Hurjet, Malaysia LCA tender and confluence with politics/off-topic stuff, other factors and defence deals in general) in one larger way rather than smaller repetitive chunks. In...

You know what, I absolutely love this rivalry (that carries on, how can it not?) from the history of Britain. The waning and waxing of the respective regal and lords and barons of both sides....and the bedrock identities.. Whenever england waned from relative wax (edward 2 after longshanks...

His contention (I would imagine) is that the move to finance+services was done (by the leadership class) without proper guided reference+input+impact analysis from the British people I would imagine. It is very much in the end how people perceive leadership class w.r.t the larger population...

Lends itself quite well to contested deterrence from Vietnam and Indonesia to make a good larger arc around SCS to PLAN's available envelope currently. Lets hope this gets the ball rolling more in South East Asia SCS region.

Well going back to napoleonic wars....that era was way different as trade was more mercantile (i.e not voluntary at all) w.r.t BEIC etc It was based on extractive colonial processes and ideology....i.e huge one-way levers/gradients set forcefully. Today though, one fundamentally has to know...

I remember Gretna first coming up (eons ago when I was in school) as it was easier to get married in Scotland back in the day....so English young couples (under age 21 iirc) people would hop over to get married there as they couldnt back in England. heh. Hope you having/had a good time there...

Each of the 3 batteries will have two launchers. From WSJ: Each battery comprises two missile launchers, a radar and a command-and-control center, and can fire two missiles within 10 seconds, one of the Indian officials said, adding that a contract was expected to be signed this month So with...

Akash-NG SAM could also be another item. Fingers crossed bro: https://idrw.org/why-vietnam-was-monitoring-akash-ng-program-since-its-inception/

It depends (in the strict Naval convention in use these days) much more on endurance (point 3's expected mission parameters) than strict tonnage....to better delineate what is a corvette vs frigate. These vary a bit from navy to navy (given each country's size, territorial water, coastline...
