Maybe everybody missed this ::: http://idrw.org/?p=12796 HAL says that the IJT was back on track after the April 2011 mishap. “The second prototype has undertaken few sorties after the modification. We are now preparing for completing the tasks of stall and spin tests, which are major requirements f...

At a federal court hearing in Bridgeport, Connecticut, United Technologies and its two subsidiaries, Pratt & Whitney Canada and Hamilton Sundstrand Corp, agreed to pay more than $75 million to the U.S. government to settle criminal and administrative charges related to the violations. So United...

^^^ Look at the seeker details (near the nose). Griffin has small fins while paveway has an annulus

Gurneesh

IIRC center pylon became a victim of LCA being overweight.

On another note, the LGB on right side (of the pic) is Griffin while the left side seems to have paveway. This possibly means two types of LGB's have been tested on LCA

Military solutions are meant to be functional even if they are not good looking.

Plus what info do we have about that black cover to brand it as a jugaad ? For all we know, it might be a well researched product to keep dust away (and not off the shelf black rubber sheet used as an ad-hoc measure).

Gurneesh

There is no problem with Indian Army as such. Israelis design, build and operate tanks as per the requirements of terrain obtainable in their country and its vicinity. India must do the same. You can figure out for yourselves the terrain obtained on the other side along the LC and IB from Chamb-Jau...

I asked this before, but I got no answer - What is the black fabric or lining like thing between the block holding the gun and the turret in the Arjun tank. It looks like an ad hoc attachment, I wonder if there is any way to make it look more TFTA (Ya, I know I'm being an ass). If you are asking a ...

In the video posted by Gurneesh, the exhaust fumes from the T-90 tanks seems to be extremely heavy. Is this normal or does is it seem much more smokey as compared to other tanks around the world. Probably the smoke would also depend on the quality of the fuel. The smoke is due to intentional burnin...

One realises the worth of an Amby only once gets into a pile up. Cheap, you loose nothing and yet the most precious thing lives. :rotfl: OT that is not true. Actually it will be safer to be in the newer (better designed for crash worthiness) cars than to be in Amby. Simply because Amby will transfe...

^^The 1500hp German engine must be DDM. We never got the 1500hp MTU 873 powerplant. A DRDO(Cummins ?) 1500hp engine was supposed to be under development. It is highly unlikely that it is already ready. The speed reduction is probably due to the 3t weight increase with the engine remaining same. Thi...

Wiki says that Mi 17-1V has load carrying capacity of 5tons (when externally slung). M777 weighs 4218 kg. So, in theory Mi17 should be able to carry it. Can it carry that at high altitude is anybody's guess (but i think probably not).

QUESTION: What if a large column of PLA tanks crosses the border -- What kind of nuclear weapon could be the best option, if nuclear arms are all that are available?

^^^ I dunno but 200kg of Uranium should weigh exactly the same as 200 kg of any thing (air, water, rdx, tnt, etc).... It is the volume that will change with density. So 200 kg of uranium will have lesser volume that say 200 kg of aluminum.

^^^ Well it is not a simple color inversion. IF you read the tutorial on the website, it will tell you that solid colors compress very well and thus will be darker in the ELA. Also, the more times the image is resaved, the darker it's ELA will be. So, if that image was indeed photo shopped, the lett...

That chassis is flexing a lot. Will that not have effect on accuracy ?

That turret+gun will not go very well with Law Enforcement needs..

Plus, why is low profile needed for urban warfare ???

Based on your video, I am guessing that the Chakra rath is basically a modified body of a BMP-2 mounted on the chassis of a stallion 6*6. Now if that is true, the chassis of the Stallion is designed to carry a gross weight of 14.5 tons, which is around the total weight of the BMP2. If we are to sub...

To those who will be visiting Expo, could you ask the fellow in charge of the display if LSCDS is the reworked cockpit of LCA.
