:eek: I know, and I agree, but talking about choppers, you do agree that flying and maintaining a squadron of Mi8 or dhruv for that matter is easier, cheaper, logical than having just 12 choppers of a completely different type in an inventory of approx 330 choppers with many more dhruv in the pipeli...

Is Arjun transportable by C-17 or IL-76? For that matter, is the T-90? (I assume so, since T-72 has been transported by IL-76)

Given the tender for light tanks (which presumably are air-transportable)..is there a need for an MBT to be air-transportable?

Prasun Sengupta reports that Griffin 3 LGB from Israel has been acquired by India. Turns out that his report is a word by word copy paste of a news report in Deagle.com, with only "foreign customer" replaced by the word "India". What to believe? :(( :roll: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Even in 84, only the B-57s had the night bombing capability (navigation by night, bombing computer), the Mirages would have had to use their eyeball mk1 to locate and strike at the dome. good luck doing that by night. especially when you have an SA-2 installation watching over Trombay right across ...

I had a question here..what is the sense in investing in mega-accurate, conventional long-range (read intermediate or inter-continental) missiles? - Can we foresee a scenario where conventional attacks with long-range missiles will not be (mis)interpreted as breach of the nuclear threshold? - And if...

Any idea as to how many T72s have been converted to the T72-M1 Ajeya standard?

Strategic bombing has 2 main objectives: 1) Degrade the long term military potential of the enemy (taking out industries and infrastructure) 2) Degrade the morale of the populace, making the war more personal (striking at population centers, destroying important landmarks, places close to the people...

From the multitude of pictures, can anyone see if Barak is installed on Beas? We should be able to make out from the radar directors, right?

Hi, Wrong. Read this article . So the MKI with it's powerful Bars radar is still going to use this pod. [. From the article, 24 Squadron is supposed to take over recce activities from the Foxbats.
