Out of all our kilos 2 are under repair and one is in Russia for refitting, if i am not wrong? So how many kilo's we have in active service now?

The sub in the front have the same white color paint scheme above it as in the congress report card but is too small to be a SSBN.
The sub behind has more length than the front sub. So we can assume the sub in congress report card is not Arihant?

Is this the 3rd one ? or 4th?

The MTA will be produced both in Russia and India. AFAIK the HAL has started initial works for setting up Factory for producing MTA, and it is their product as they are the developers. Now whats the role of consortium? component manufacturing? Any way it is good move as it will add to the experience...

Srini, My point was that None of the others which u mentioned is a replacement for the AWACS but in turn may need the AEW support. For example in a war time P8-i mission may need fighter escorts and may need AWACS support from the AF. Its main purpose is for the SAR mapping and avoiding harsh whethe...

5 is nowhere near being enough for 24x7 coverage even against the pakis. ... probably 12 phalcons (high end) and 24 cabs-aew(low end) is the minimum needed to feel safe. this is what I too felt till everyone started stating lower numbers... Even this 12+24 needs to be augmented with P8is (12-20), I...

How useful will this new 150 Km missile be in the China context? Quite use full in the sense it would be a battle field missile which can be used to take out their artillery and command nodes with precision. Launching prithvi's may require the approval from higher authorities even if it is conventi...

Now after the Russian IL-76 spares mess up its quite clear we need to move on to other platforms. This was the main reason why IAF was reluctant to order more Phalcon's. According to ACM Naik, IAF has ordered 2 more Phalcons based on the IL-76/A-50 platform Eventually IAF ordered 2 more. But initia...

Good thing he said was that there is no cap on defense expenditure and we are still spending less than 3% of GDP. There wont be any impact on economy. So expect more and more goodies for the forces. His attitude is good, While his visit to japan, Japanese PM asked him how to contain China. His reply...

For some comic relief, please read this hilarious conspiracy-theory laced article from a Pakistani defence website: http://pakarmydefence.blogspot.com/2011/06/hindujews-nexus-against-pakistan-is-not.html Apart from the usual rants about Hindus, Jews, and all members of the animal and plant kingdom ...

he has given excellent reviews for LCA.... in fact after reading his remarks i can surely say IAF will be procuring more than 6-7 squadrons of LCA.

vishnu.nv

nope... the aircraft is owned by the plant until its delivered to respective armed forces.

This kinds of projects needs to be kept in super secrecy and should be announced only after the project is completed. The DRDO certainly has this kind of capability but all depends on the Political will.

The proposal itself is leaked in to press.

The gunship concept is only effective against a decepticon Scorponok or only in an environment where there is complete air superiority.

Better to go for more helicopter gunships..... IMHO 50 Apache + 200 LCH combo would be optimum.

i thought Amur would be cheap.... 11 billion for 6 subs is hell lot of money. I thought IN would go for some customized AIP sub similar to RAN Collins class with ability to fire Nuke tipped Nirbhay.

Most probably UK is offering Co-development which will be their type26 and for us P-17A. wiki says type-26 will be of 6800 tonnes.

I have a crazy idea .How about LCA carrying laksyas at its wings and slaved to the stores management used as AA missile/ suicide missions on ground targets. Have you read the first Page of the thread? There are some rules written over there. if not lemme help you by pasting it here. Newbies beware ...

Dang, why are you telling us this in 2011? Anyways, I seriously think the J-20 is an achievement, even if it copied. It takes guts to copy and then modify to suit. You know, they have to build real wind tunnels, write papers (granted in languages we cannot read - hey such is life), build a tech dem...

Who is letting down whom my friend? The ADA Letting down IAF? The IAF is not operating a single AESA Fighter radar as of today. It will be at-least 2015 when one enters in IAF. There is a AESA fighter radar being prepared at LRDE. The ADA has done a good thing by delinking AESA radar from MK2. They ...

IMHO The catobar also helps in speedy launching of fighters!!

The DRDO can start a project for studying a naval reactor and have cats in the mokup they are constructing in GOA. The french also offered the CDG Based reactor for the future IAC's.

vishnu.nv

IN will not insist on source code but may insist on having some indegenious weapons integrated to F-35 like Astra BVRAAM or sudershan LGB kits. The combination of cats + AEW + F-35 will be the best in market and french cannot offer anything better. I seriously doubt wether the Unkil will agree to In...

vishnu.nv

Which is the reason why the IN has issued a RFI for advanced naval fighters. There was an article perviously mentioning some companies have given a presentation on installing cats on IAC-2 provided they have the permission. IMHO this will get through and we will see IAC-2 with 30-40 JSF and US based...

The PN is going to get the 6 AIP equiped subs from china.

The IAF requirement is for 42 squadron of Fighter aircrafts. This is a minimum requirement plan we have to defend against the any Chinese aggression and to maintain a air superiority over TSP. Anything apart from Fighters (UCAV,UAV etc) will be addition to the capability of IAF. But now the IAF area...

Mr.Barak Obama believes in making their enemy's friends. Be it be Afgan talibs, TSP musharaff's or chiki panda's. In spite of all this real worlds threats they are preparing to fight Iran.

I can agree to the point that we may be in need of a a strategic air lifter and IAF found c-17 good. Hence the purchase of C-17 is justified looking from an in service personal's point of view. But from a tax payers point of view we are being rushed to sign this deal only because of uncle/Boeing pre...
