Bharat Rakshak

You have a good point. It might make sense if IN orders 6 ships of a type and splits the shipbuilding between two different shipyards (each building 3 ships). That way IN can get ships quicker (2 per year) even with delays (at one or both shipyards). The system could work in two stages: 1. The desi...

The tests on Admiral Kuznetsov was just take off/landing in clean configuration....so, Will the Mig 29k have severe performance limitations with an air superiority wepons package, when operated from a shorter deck aircraft carrier??? I don't see the MiG-29K being any more handicapped than other nav...

The 3rd P-15A will only join the navy in 2013-14. It takes a ridiculous amount of time for MDL to make a ship. If it was a Pvt sector shipyard it would have been shut down by now. 1st P-15B' won't see the light of the day till 2018 if MDL starts now, so how will IN have 10 destroyers? Kashins will ...

Rahul, While the MiG-29K will be a little more sluggish than the 35 or even the original A; it's TWR is still v.respectable. Empty weight ~ 12400kg: 18000kgf. Last I remember the rate of climb for the MiG-29M was shown at 290m/s - empty weight ~ 11600kg & Thrust ~ 17000kgf. I'd guess the K will...

Tejas,

I happen to collect defense related images, so thanks for the link

CMD - Credible Minimum Deterent?????

Brahmos has a maximum speed of Mach 2.7, which is approximated to Mach 3..........3 times the speed of SOUND

In my humble opinion, going for a Naval LCA, in the present design configuration will have a long term negative impact on the navy. The simple logical reason for using multiple engined aircrafts for carrier based operations is for redundancy. In the middle of the ocean and nowhere else to land, a fl...

With out taking any sides, imagine the logistical nightmare of handling (Support) U.S. & Russian equipments together in a constrained space of a small aircraft carrier. RFI might be a tactical pressure on Russians for a new deal, since the earlier deal was a combined package (Admiral Gorshkov Fu...

Yes, of course, it takes sheer genius and "extreme care" etc., and all the authors are ppl who run 10km uphill both ways at 4AM every day, rain or shine before heading over to the gym... :mrgreen: There's the Pulitzer Prize, the Nobel Prize for Fiction, the Bharat-Ratna and then there is ...

Their is a joint Venture for Brahmos and even for Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA). So, Why is their no Joint Venture between India & Russia, regarding the design & constuction of (Non Nuclear Propulsion) Naval Supercarriers???

Maybe it is pronounced "EditorSaar!"? Ever heard of Farokh ENGINEER? Nari CONTRACTOR? Pervez MUSHARRAF? :twisted: What is wrong with, say Abdul_Chakrapani EDITOR, hain? Anoop, my impression is that papers on Space stuff and any strategic stuff is welcome. I have no idea why it is called &...

My evil 6th cousin (E6C) who "runs" that (more like "sleeps" that) says that the term "periodical" is a misnomer. It's more "randomical", in that your articles get published, with a Paper Number and time of publication, whenever they are ready for publication...

.... removed on his request, I may add. As did some material from the IAF site. Jagan, please let me know if I can be of any help in resurrecting the 'Space' section. Whatever the info you would like, I am petty sure I can get it. animesh, BR had a couple of steady and quite standard web periodical...

Sir,

What if we can re-define SRR to STRATEGIC Research Review???

Do you publish articles relating to space programs (if someone happens to submit a respectable paperwork)?

Regards.

Is it possible to have the text in BR logo in Devnagri script ? only if someone with the graphics skills volunteers to make one. In my humble opinion, the logo should be left at its present state, so that when English speaking foreigners, who reads our motto, should get curious enough as to enquire...

This is my first post on the Bharat Rakshak. After being a regular visitor (a.k.a. lurker) for just over 3 YEARS, I have been given an opportunity to be a part of this venture. I hope to meet a lot of people, make lot of comrades, no enemies and take part in some exciting scientific and technologica...
