A good video of IAF's S/w Development Institute. It showcases Su-30MKI, LCA, MiG-29, turboprop trainer, AWACS.
AVM K N Santosh, the commander of S/w dev. institute, said that MLU is supposed to happen every 10 years. He believes in achieving 100% self-relliance.
Hats off to my fellow computer/electronics guys. I wish if i was good enough scorer to get into such priviledged place.

The earlier one they released was also top notch:

I just got watching this one in detail. It was very good look into what any major air force would seek to establish, improve and expand upon with time.

i.e The RnD avionics, the core brain capability so to speak.

It will have relevance to Turkish AF institutes @Yasar_TR @TR_123456 @Mis_TR_Like @Anmdt et al.

Also @Gessler @Zapper @Rajendra Chola et al need to have a watch of this if they haven't already.

@Afif as well.

Any comments welcome too.

Well, I am envious.

IAF and (PAF to an extent) has these types of set up and accumulated institutional knowledge and whole eco-system broadly speaking. (I.e. DRDO and state manufacturers)

Whatever economic development BD had, it didn't translate into something remotely close, even proportionally. Having active national security threats worked as blessing for India and Pak to develop their defence eco-system.

But I guess, with Bangabandhu aerospace university and MoD's Bangabandhu aeronautical complex we have a recent beginning, BBT-2 is a testimony to that. Too little too late. Still, better than never. Indeginous male UAV development will shade more light on it, if they can develop the software package in house, it would be the next step.

Btw, this channel also has some other great contents.

We took a different approach.
Aselsan,Roketsan,Havelsan etc started as Armed Forces ''sections'' for such needs.

I am envious of your country in honest lol. India is spending 75B on defence. Second or third highest spending dept for India. If not for threats, we would be happily spending only 50-55B on defence & the rest on infra, education etc etc. but we have twin threats to take care off and 75B isn’t enough. Our failure to develop our defence industry is biting us now. Defence industry can be a big employer earning billions & employing lakhs

Some interesting participants and visuals so far.

They made such a good video private Why they invested in the 1st place?
Admins/Moderators/Members should download such vieos a.s.a.p. after they upload & put it on a common Google drive or something.

 

[Bhartiya Sainik]

BTW, guys which is the best website to download YouTube videos in its max resolution or at least FHD 1080p if the video supports?
I tried following:
(https://yt5s.biz/enxj100/)
(https://en1.savefrom.net/2ol/)
(https://y2meta.app/en38)
(https://ssyoutube.com/en785ie/)
Some sites provide"video only" option for higher resolution

Su-30MKI internal fuel weight on Wikipedia was 11 tons, now showing 9.64 tons

They re-uploaded it now:

Maybe you can go through and see if they edited out/censored anything compared to original one

I can't be bothered.

Even if they edited, it is useless now. Lots of people globally - officials, enthusiasts, etc might have downloaded it immediately or taken screenshots.
I don't think there was anyting secret. The code segments were not zoomed for example. Any tech student would know whatever was shown. And it is actually very less compared to what has been shown in Western & Russian documentaries since 1990s on TV & internet.

It was just some 2-star or 3-star flexing over a brig or colonel that vetted it all initially. Politics among this lot.

Fortunately for India, it has the same advantage w.r.t PRC as BD has w.r.t India. PLA's military might is mostly occupied in the East where PRC's primary competition lies.

I'm not giving full time to military analysis but AFAIK neither Bharat has mil. advantage over China nor BD over Bharat. There is no point in comparing BD, Srilanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma, etc state sized nation with Bharat bcoz their situation is not like S.Korea, France, Israel, etc.

You didn't understand what I said. I am saying PLA is mostly occupied in the East where it is competing with US and it's allies. Its strategic posture is not built around India. Same with India, its military is occupied in the West and in the North with Pakistan and China. This is not a comparison.

And for BD, it is still a bigger country and economy than all those countries combined. Not strictly comparable.

I got your point but although China's population density in Tibet is low but it has enough military deployment against us & is increasing year by year. It is ahead of us in everything. It is preparing for multi-front war.
Our forces are also among biggest in world, they are divided in regional divisions & can fight multi-front war but mobilizing big regional forces also requires big preparations & costs + it alerts the other side.
So it is not that we are weak in NE. We have small problems everywhere - Naxalites, Maoists/Chinese supporting citizens & politicians, some separatist minded people who don't understand what it takes to make a nation & survive for millenniums, some corrupt politicians & industrialists who only care about their black money, some of our own untrustable people who are foreign puppets doing false propaganda, etc. Our military can tackle all these problems but we want our deluded & corrupted people to understand peacefully. We are trying to avoid emergency situation like President's rule.
