Recent visit to the area confirms that ITBF units are MANPAD capable and equipped.
But they don't have something light like Stingers.

Engine smoke can also depend on the fuel itself. If the kerosene is dirty it will smoke any engine. So think about the basics before speculating if the Mig-29 engine smokes more or not. Other factors are engine maintenance, fuel additives, afterburner on or off, It is possible that LCA's GE engine h...

Q & A for Raptor Killer Excersize ===================== 1) where is the theater of engagement? ( in and around Indian air space ?) in that case raptors will fly in from TSP badlands? Or Diego Garcia? (definitely not from Utah) 2) what is the asset priority (allow a ship to be sunk but rapti is d...

i am merely throwing the discussion open 1) radar is not the only way to "see" an aircraft. 2) highly tuned array of audio sensors at strategic locations can also indicate the vector (speed and direction) of a raptor (or any other a/c) - this works at night too 3) even a raptor (or a doze...

Tanaji,
good choice of words. from someone else it'd be called flame-b'ting.
BTW LCA is looking better every day. A good design normally is a good looking design as well. It will surely kick butt. They should induct min 250 + another 100 naval LCA

Somnath you've made some good points. I had said that ABM is mostly for chest thumping that offended some... may be not the right choice of words. This ABM project seems to have taken a life of its own. Lots of good experiments and results But no government discourse on policy or scenario of use. (p...

I have been working on a feasibility report for 3rd generation bio-fuels.....

curiosity increases so asking again: who will operate BMD (IAF or IA) will they purhase the system from DRDO? what if they (the customer) change specs? what if they want a "comparative trials" with the US or Israeli system? what is the chain of command to make a decison to launch an ABM wi...

Sorry: I am Taiwan Baptist Christian. But that is off topic. (By public discussion I do not mean discussion on this forum, no one gives a hoot about that. But public discussion I mean public spat between prominent scientists, public politiking by IA vs DRDO, public announcements of future capabiliti...

Regarding thread topic National Security Discusssion: China is building up its military rapidly but it is also building up its Cities, Infrastructure, education etc. China paranoia is understandable based on 1962 experience.

C17 should not be purchased from USA. USA is not a reliable supplier (can and will cut off supplies / spares) USA wants to profit from supplying both Ind / Pak India's nuclear test possibilities will diminish to ZERO (as it is 0.00001 already) USA will rig the machines with bugs USA wants india / pa...

On the business side: Various reports indicate that IAF and Army "needs" something like 65+155 LCHs. Which is a good start. But the business wing of DRDO (if it exists), should be mindful of export customers also - including western nations. I wonder if DRDO / HAL are geared up to close th...

....<clipped> Mr. Li, who gave you the idea that the ABM is Pak centric? Look to the east and you might find a reason more valid than 'chest thumping'. And how does develpoing an ABM guarantee a seat in the UN Security Council? i think i did not form the sentence correctly, i did not mean to imply ...

Good Plot so far.

Here small gift for the author.

Flamingo species in India is the Greater Flamingo.

Among the so-called experts here no one has yet answered any of my Q above. I guess the answer does not exist. As usual, there is too much theoretical discussion going on that is not related to ABM Missile Discussion (for example USA bankrolling the pakis etc - a wild statement in itself). Of course...

Questions: if & when the ABM sys is ready for deployment - who will be the operator? (may be IAF) who will purchase it (may be IAF) what if IAF pulls an "arjun" on it and ups the requirements what if IAF decides to consider a foreign ABM sys i think it makes more sense to create a new ...

Previous post is regarding essay by Arundhoti Roy,
is that Mil Miscellaneous?
- Mr. Li

One silent observation. RayC has started it and others have picked up on it. Is that (repeated) mention of "dhoti" as something backward or wrong. what is wrong with wearing a dhoti? (nothing) commenting on it is insulting a whole culture what is so right about wearing pants???? (nothing) ...

C17 good machine. But it is not meant for Chicken's Neck. As you would know, even if it is 16km wide, Chicken Neck is near Yadong Valley. which is a mountenous road. Railways are planned there but only for culture and not for battle war. Don't be paranoid because of thin land strip can be cut off. R...

Mr. Li thinks that it is erroneous to count parts that are indegeious or foreign maal in a built up ship or tank or plane.

Mr. Li would like to know if Maoists read international news. Even we (chinese) have moved Chairman Mao's dead body out of public sight. Mao is not in people's mind at PRC.
