Chinese won’t come alone for sure. They will plan to coordinate with Pakistan navy for sure. Entire Indian Navy couldn’t meet portion of Navy here. Our Eastern and Tri Service command should be tasked for this role. After 1971, the eastern side importance have gotten less. Western Command gets...

Congratulations to Turkey for launching this project and getting it on air in time

As usual not yet. These news get recycled every now and then and newspapers just copy paste it based on sources.

Finally someone is pushing Indian engine on our cruise missiles. Guess some bureaucrat took a look at the cost of the missile with foreign import engine and decided to develop new one from scratch. India still has unspecified number of Nirbhay missiles with old Russian engine inducted. They...

Piecemeal. I think for now Dhruv production will take place. Only 12 LUH and 15 LCH are placed. So not economical to move for small orders. It was planned for 4-500 Ka226 and LUH and 114 LCH. So facility was created in anticipation of the order which never came

FA50 is still an trainer. Tejas is an full fledged fighter. It’s no comparison. Other than engine and radar, there are no other similarities. Tejas still uses Israeli HUD , FA50 uses American ones I think. Weapons wise, Tejas has 3 times more weapons already integrated, Indian , Russian ...

This facility was planned with Ka226 and LUH in mind. Unfortunately this facility will be idle for the next 3-4 years.

F18 is still dual engine. Two F404 would still work in Catobar or stobar config. Would still carry lot of fuel and weapons in stobar config. But single engine with stobar would be still an tough call. For Indian tender, F18 was tested in stobar configuration and they found it can still lift 80%...

Koreans are pretty good “businessmen” if anyone asks me. They won the Malaysian tender without the officials visiting other aircraft facilities or test flying them. In fact it was so open, that their RFP was more than the max tender value Malaysian MoF has planned, and their MoD requested more...

Indian Navy rejected Naval Tejas with F404 due to bulked up increased MTOW which limits the radius and weapons capacity. It also finished landing and take off tests from aircraft carriers. From the results, Navy also rejected F414 engine upgrade seeing it still would carry low capacity and...

India cancelled optional 3 more buy in 2016 of Scorpenes. India should continue building scorpenes in batches of 3, with more indigenous in each batch till we call it own Indian design. Like the Koreans.

It is good Pralay is getting deployed. I had initial doubts whether Indian armed forces were taking this missile seriously. In one instance they took an actual missile and it was stuck in a country for 2 days without any supervision after all Indian personnel have returned. Shaurya is another...

70 years ago, no one had any inkling China would become such an threat to world peace, it once said it will strive to destroy. No one in East Asia believed Japan can leave its militarism, barbariness when WW2 got over. US became so unpredictable during Trump Era. Same goes for India. We don’t...

You are requesting for an world with even more risks of nuclear war and most importantly it’s misuse. US and Probably Russia has probably 100’s of incidents where their nuclear weapons were at risks. Pakistan ran an business with Libya and NK. Now imagine countries with poor defence spending...

Going much ahead of ourselves aren’t we? Having nuclear bomb is just one part of the problem. Having an effective mechanism in place so as not letting rogue elements taking control of the stockpile, delivery systems development, proliferation etc costs huge amount of money and resources. Many...

It’s not an FDI company doing R&D in another country. Nuclear bombs gives out shock waves which are now detectable. Depending upon the ground formation the shock waves generated can be less or more. But such an operation cannot be kept secret. Plus there is Russia that keeps an huge interest in...

Very stupid decision for an very low number… 3B for 30 is already expensive. This will increase the price. India has no EO system manufacturers. Maybe SAR radar, but it’s integration cost money. US is not giving access to its platform to integrate foreign systems. No Indian munitions. Body...

ASW Corvette is 16. 8 from GRW and 8 from CSL. One more Kalvari has been delivered today. Nuke subs numbers are not officially given out. I think follow on to ins avnesh is being made…. Survey vessels are more important I think for our future submarines…
