Cost worry on Rafale and Tejas "I wonder if you would go to a car showroom today," said the defence source, "and ask to buy a 1984 model Maruti." I have to commute everyday 10 kms. If I have the following choices: 1) walking 2) commuting on my scooter which is 25 yr old and pron...

Q for TSP experts:
when will TSP reach Greek-like debt trap / economic collapse status?
Who are the topmost lenders to TSP?
What can they take if TSP is unable to repay the debt?

IMO we are wrongly focusing on the bullet marks?

The testing would be of the vibrations and its effect on the body of the plane.
Do we have information on this?

ISIS getting into a fight with the ISI/Paki taliban is not a bad thing unlikely to happen. ISIS is funded by Saudis and so is TSP/Taliban. The ideological fault-line lies is with Iranian backed Shias and not Sunnis. Any struggle between Taliban and ISIS will be territorial and temporary and more of...

The Rustom is almost ready to be flown so whatever restricted items there was have either been developed or solutions have been worked around. I guess you are pointing to the actuator ...

My point being, we usually associate MTCR with missiles.
We are getting to being self sufficient on missiles.

But we may need entry to catch up on UAVs.

MALe, HALE, Armed UAV's under development as well. What's your point ???

Development is slow and limited, as most of the items are restricted.
Things that can be used on LCA, cannot be openly used on Rustom.

During the whole Cold War (incl. Cuban missile crisis), the premise was US will react asymmetrically. The retribution from US will far exceed the provocation. Reaction to 9/11 followed the same principle. This MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) detente prevented active wars between Soviet and US. Mo...

Let me add a few more straws. 2.33) Apart from promises HAL flew a certain HTT-34 flew in 1984 with an upgraded engine and systems, even showcased it in Farnborough.

Dude, who says 0-0 ejections seats are only for planes carrying weapons? Do you even know what it means? it basically means that even at 0 altitude and speed, the seat can be ejected saving the pilot. In fact, a Mig-29 pilot doing aerobics saved his life due to 0-0 ejection seat. If a basic trainer...

A Deshmukh, It is clear that you missed the point that was sought to be made. I will try one last time. Pratyush, I think you are not fully aware. 1) The IAF HAL was aware of the flaws of HPT 32 for decades. http://www.indiastrategic.in/topstories1221_HPT32_Deepak_trainer.htm 108 engine cuts! 2) Fo...

I will say that the IAF is to blame for the mess for the basic trainer that it finds it self in. I disagree. There are a lot of issues where IAF takes the blame. Particularly on the LCA management. But not on HTT-40. Major blame lies on HAL. The HPT 32 was delivered decades ago. The IAF was aware o...

By Ajai Shukla With the HTT-40 on track, and racing towards its first flight next year, HTT-40 on track? :roll: First flight next year - 2016?

Bakis attacking school children would be an insane escalation. Unfortunately for us, that is the exact kind of escalation that Bakis are looking for to unite all the Islamics under the "hate India and kill the Kuffar" banner. On the contrary, any such step, would unite all Indics and Baki...

One question. Unless you are Keanu Reeves in Matrix, walking into a battle hardened army camp with a lot of ammunition does not make any sense. You will be terminated without much damage to the camp.

In UP, mayawati's vote bank is safe. Its just that her and mulayam's vote bank calculations work with a 50% turnout (2009 was 47% turnout), but those get thrown into dustbin with 58.29% turnout which we got in 2014. It is that extra 11% vote which went entirely to modi which made all the difference...

There are many instances that detail the struggle and oppression of the Australoid outcastes in the Hindu epics.

But the IAF didn't believe that HAL could build such a trainer quickly. After a series of HPT-32 crashes (then the IAF’s basic trainer), it was decided in September 2009 to buy 75 basic trainers from the global market. Fresh QRs were framed in order to bring as many vendors as possible into the ten...

Regarding 1962: I don't know how much has been said about the American involvement in the 1962 war, but one of the reasons why the Chicoms didn't push down further was the fear of full-scale American active involvement (instead of just the support they were providing). Wrong. The Americans were tie...
