Re: Rafale & MMRCA News and Discussions-9 August, 2014

Importing finished products will never be ' Make in India' , lets not confuse ourselves with terms like reverse engineering, Indian clever politics, fresh oxygen, toilet papers etc, it all ends up in inherent weakness. There should be a firm policy that we wont import finished products in defense se...

Re: Rafale & MMRCA News and Discussions-9 August, 2014

We dont need Rafale to kick out chainese and green-ied productions, because that would be overkill. What we do need is some Pakfa(100 nos.) and maybe FGFA-IN (100 nos.) For surprise, some Sukhoi MKI(200 nos.) for Intimidation & Dominance and lots of LCA/NLCA MK 1 & MK2(500 nos.) for obvious ...

Re: Rafale & MMRCA News and Discussions-9 August, 2014

According to latest estimates, how many Tejas Mk1(4th gen)/ Mk2 (4.5 gen) can we get by spending Rs. 36,000 Crores ?



Assumption: The final IOC of MK1 and MK2 will come only after the Rafale deal is finalised and order is placed, the way it happened with Arjun after T-90s started arriving

Procurement by a Govt. entity for another Govt . entity ( in this case MoD bureaucracy for IAF Commanders and Pilots) is an entirely different ball game, and I think we're stuck in it.

Re: Artillery Discussion Thread

Some very powerful lobby, influenced by big corporations is behind this mess .
Not taking a decision in a definite time frame that effects national interest,is not only a case of incompetence but also is a crime.
Feels like Lokpal is essential, at least for artillery procurement.
