Honestly I wouldn't concern too much with BD market for cars...defense or otherwise, esp what 1 or 2 typical sorts think/project/assert on defense forums.... we just get things done there on the ground: Indian Railways loaded 83 pick-up vans 🚚 from Kalamboli in Maharashtra to Benapole in...

@Sinan See, your govt is not silent. Let us wait and see how this goes....I think timing is important to get right.

Didn't see one up yet, so I started this. @Gautam ^^^ we need to get to at least this level of onboard video (SpaceX level etc can be later) for launches ASAP....our quality is subpar and it really is not that difficult imo.

@Yankeestani its funny you brought up walter cronkite actually. It got me thinking a bit....who was the "old school" newsperson/journalist/MSM'er most stuck in my memory for presenting the US side/perspective in my early formative era (90s)....and it would have to be Dan Rather. I forget...

Yes this is true, but large part also comes from sheer size of Indonesia and federal weight built up in institutions (even if you have seized it in absolute way at very top like Suharto). Nearly all Arab countries (and most African countries too) are all much smaller population and are run as...

https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2020/11/taiwan-starts-construction-of-new-ids-submarine-for-roc-navy/ The submarine game in East Asia is heating up, with multiple new submarines being constructed. Japan recently launched the first of the new Taigei-class. South Korea launched the second...

One of my favourite subjects :D When I was in Singapore, Indonesian politics is something followed closely. In hindsight, Habibie should have had longer term. What do you think? BTW, can you explain to me how parliament changed the constitution for this matter? Was it direct article change...

Sure have come a long way since our forces were stuck with maruti gypsies, leyland trucks and those small vans and pickups....there was barely any attention given to armour + protection back then...but still long way to go.

Yes this will be important to take to submarine launch environment...as there is higher power req. there. AFAIK the HWT tender for scorpene will be finalised/selected soon, but it is going to be imported from France (F21) or Germany (DM2A4)....given takshak maturity will take some time longer...

I think you did a good job since you are just starting out. Maybe get about 5 - 6 folks to answer your Q next time, I feel ~ 3 - 4 feels a bit too few....unless you do say a part 2. Also you can experiment going that way with getting your vid length closer to the 10 minute segment. I think...

So far 40 km (21.6 nm) is the number given for max range...it was an original requirement iirc. https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2020/11/first-production-varunastra-heavyweight-torpedo-delivered-to-the-indian-navy/ The torpedo is powered by an electric propulsion system with multiple 250...

Depends how early you mean by early. I dont see majority of ppl vaccinated worldwide well into mid or even late 2021 given the logistics etc. Definitely though the most vulnerable to covid (elderly and underlying conditions) will be prioritised, barring any serious longer term effects that...
