I also advocate:- Non automated and basic version of Dhanush 155mm howitzer prepositioned in large numbers near China Border. The cost of each will be 1/10th of M777 Issue 12.7mm HMGs to infantry and para military forces developed from 12.7 NSV of our T-72/90 tanks for use in forested & urban ar...

The calculation of indigenisation is based on Sale price less imported components, which means even Gross Profit, insurance, transportation, packing, assembling, testing etc is taken into indigenisation %.

At least order urgent requirements like BPJ, Shields, HMGs, Anti Material Rifles, NVGs, TIs etc while quibbling about high tech super costly items like PAKFA and Rafale.

Super great development. Atlast BDL seems to have done something indigenous itself. A right choice to develop a cheap radio guided ATGM. I think it will be 1/20th the cost of Spike or Javelin.

I think LRSAM is

9 squadrons = 18 batteries/firing units = x3 ie 54 launchers with 8 missiles each around 490 missiles

Akash IAF buy is

15 squadrons = 30 batteries/firing units = x4 ie 120 launchers with 20 missies each around 2500 missiles.

Gyan

I think, the first step is not to fake the percentage of indigenisation. Why call LRSAM, Brahmos indigenous product, say it with pride (for import pimps) that we are importing it for XYZ reasons. Then people like me can ask why import ten times more costly product compared to indigenous Akash or Pra...

IMO there is no such thing as 100% indigenous unless someone is lying. What we need to aim for is near 100% immunity from sanctions. You are 100% right but the "commercial reality" that everything cannot be indigenised should not be used as a "pretext" for importing practically ...

Product A costs 100. DPSU buys from abroad and sells to Army for 200. Voila! Indigenisation of 50% achieved without even painting Made in India on it.

Gyan

Actually the indigenisation of Su-30MKI is 90% but due to unknown reasons 90% components may be imported and anybody who questions this fact is anti National Spy. Similar, is the situation in Brahmos. Hail DPSU fake indigenisation after 20 years of both the JVs.

The last major order for NVGs by Army was given in 2013. As usual Army raised specifications, so we neither have X nor Y. Be as it may, Army requirement is for 30,000 NVGs, if roughly 1 per section is issued. Similarly Para Military and Central Police Forces requirement is for another 30,000 and las...

Thanx Karan it is very interesting information. QRSAM may fulfill the requirement of QRSAM, SRSAM, LLLQRM and even VSHORAD for all the three Services.

How is Syria / Assad paying for it's War ie imports?

My guess is that after 144 Dhanush 45 caliber Howitzers, Army will insist on next batch being 52 caliber. Then after a small batch order for 52 caliber Howitzers, the demand will shift to ATAGS. Now what is this behavior called? Doing an "Arjun" on indigenous products. While in reality cos...

USD 9 Billion dollars can get us around 9000 Nirbahy missiles. The Total Cost of 36 Rafales can get us 20,000 Nirbhay Missiles. What can 36 Rafales do, which 20,000 Nirbhay Missiles (supported by LCA, Su-30MKI) Cannot do?

Gyan

I have got it. Rafale deal will make us so poor that neither Pakistan or China will attack us. My God! IAF is really devious.

Gyan

The issue is how will super costly Rafale address the possibility of 2 front war better than Combination of Su-30MKIs and LCA?

I remember Helos missing static tank targets intended to be hit with ATGMs

For High Value targets, LCA can ingress in defended airspace with One 1000 Pound LGB on center-line pylon, 2 WVR and Two 1200 litre fuel tanks, then my guess is that lo-lo-lo range would be 400-500km which would be good for most of the purposes against Pakistan. The issue is not whether LCA alone ca...
