Travelled extensively across North India and in TS & AP through big/smaller cities and pilgrimage sites this month. Marked reduction, almost total absence of begging on streets in most places visited. Even the poorest were trying to make a living, something is working damn right well now. This ...

Check the dimensions & weight of VSHORAD vs Igla or Stinger. Its both bigger and heavier for it to be shoulder-fired Srai: based on the pictures you shared, I am not able to discern any size difference between the two. In fact, the MRSAM launcher accommodates 8 missiles, while Akash-NG accommod...

Loved the videos by various bloggers of Banihal to Sangaldan train.
I hope Vande Bharat trains will be heated for passenger comfort.
Will these sections be opened up to freight trains?

LE Uranium is the problem here. We've never invested that much in centrifuge tech to be able to produce it at industrial scale (to power 15-20GW of PHWRs with this ANEEL fuel), for fear of attracting attention.

$78 billion sounds big today but by 2030, when India has doubled to $7 billion economy, it'll appear to be a great deal. One lesson Ukraine war has taught Europe is not to rely too much on one supplier. We're transforming into a green economy with particular focus on hydrogen. Gas will be a small co...

Thank You JTull for posting this news. Greatly appreciated. ... I waited 10mins after the news broke but only the IAF thread was active on BRF. Glad to be able to share such wonderful news.

My other question does that the MK1A loose 1 pylon for a CCM when carrying the SPJ's or will it still have the ability to carry 2 CCM +4 BVR missiles with SPJ's No idea.

DRDO has Rafale IR sensor as a more modern solution to compare with.

I am looking forward to seeing it on LCA Mk2 prototypes.

These missiles are optimised for better performance and higher maneuverability during the second pulse. While they should be able to engage targets during first pulse (a much longer) phase, but I wonder if they can be as effective as a single pulse-only missile. By the 'optimised' I mean the chosen ...

JTull

Simple answer: boosters You can add-on different size boosters for desired range. The negative side is larger boosters mean minimum engagement zone gets pushed out further as it won’t be able to intercept while the booster is still attached and running. So you need both. Good point. This is analogo...

Thanks for confirming my assessment. Converting technical capabilities to indigenous subsystems requires a national mission. Unfortunately our ordering process focuses mostly on costs, so favours suppliers who've already monetised their research costs. There's no incentive to develop unless the end ...

JTull

We've the technical maturity to integrate any weapon system. But we don't have emotional maturity or the vision to build every subsystem, even when we can. Prior to Atmanirbhar Bharat, it was deemed okay to import subsystems if there's no profit in producing each individual one of these. For example...

Ajai Shukla's RR article reeks of lifafa journalism. Several incorrect assertions are made as definitive news. Apparently he knows more than the Naval chief on IAC-2. And he knows more than several respected journos on Rafale twin seaters.

There are a lot of Indian origin people in Canada who don't subscribe to Khalistani ideology. As with most situations, quieter majority who suffers. Maybe that's the objective of the louder ones.

I don't think Naval Squadrons have 18 fighters. Converting 5 sqns to 90 aircraft isn't right.

Akash is an Indian first generation effort. Imagine the performance characteristics of the subsequent missiles designed by DRDO. Quite optimistic.

Sanjeev Sanyal has been talking about process reforms for couple of years.
