I Agree to the fact that roads and rails are better. But its always necessary to have a airlift option for the country's critical military hardware. The Chinese has mas load of cruise missiles which they will use in abundance in case of a war to neutralize the road and rail networks.

OK. Final word on the topic of Moss and TACDE and IAF: The squadron had barely settled down at Ambala when dark clouds of war loomed on the horizon. The original plan of entrusting the squadron with development and training work with no burden of operational commitments, were quickly shelved, and t...

OT Here-. This is Indian naval Discussion. But Kuldipcharger, Vishnu.Nv etc. claims of the Moss in 1971 were all from the PAF side, this was suppossed to be reason for why PAF did challenge the IAF was bombing the PA. Truth could be PAF pilots did not want to risk thier lifes defending PA. No one f...

Did India ever operated Moss? i have seen many TSP blogs stating soviet Moss was reason for the complete air superiority we achieved during 1971 war. Gurus please share some gyan on this.

dear sirs, sorry for my ignorance but isn't an air search mode on an aircraft that can't defend itself against aerial threats, an invitation for trouble?? The Aircraft is having a big RCS.

When the deal for 80 Mi-17 signed, the posters in this forum pointed out the need for starting a production line. It was also estimated that we may require further helicopters of these size.

Philip, You have said that the world trend is for smaller and mobile tanks. Please Could you give one program as example? I am no master in armored vehicles.

Even the Sea Harriers are phased out we can use the Viraat as a Helicopter carrier. It will give much punch to the ASW operations and UAV based surveillance in IOR.

In that case UAE is also going to buy Rafale. Again another country which is having closer military ties with pakistan. China is having Su-30, so we should not purchase SU-3 also...f-16 block 60 is currently flown by UAE Air force. May be deputed from PAF. we should have to compromise somewhere or o...

The Drop tanks of JF-17 seems to be well designed. Appears to be more stealthy than LCA drop tanks. Whats the purpose of fins on the drop tanks?
Overall the plane looks neat and a great improvement over the Mig-21.

The current issue of the force magazine says the Arjun performed well in the desert trials where it was pitched against the T-72 and the T-90 tanks. This made army to rethink on arjun and a order of total 250 will be made for the MK1 and another 250 for MKII.

The New's of IN acquiring new MRCA doesn't makes sense at all. Why don't they procure more Mig-29 K's? So did the navy shelved plan's for additional Mig-29K's?
