What is the NETT payload for operating at 7000 m ?

If this is not a farce, then what is? Does anybody want to guess what knowhow, manufacturing tech or indeginization this will bring to India? In a word - 'squat'. 200 Ka-226s to be ordered. 50 delivered off-the-shelf. Remainder assembled locally @ 30-40 per year. Indigenous content rising to 30% af...

A mango man question.

What band / fregeuncy can a fighter aircraft borne AESA radar operates ?

Since the T/R can operate independently does it mean that an AESA radar can operate in ANY band ?

Come on Kersi,be realistic.The Gorshkov was a one-off deal. In retrospect,it was very poorly detailed and negoitiated,especially as it was originally built in the UKR which reportedly couldn't even hand over all plans of the ship.The issue has been flogged to death and the carrier is now in service...

Mr Manish_P. Your comparison is very one sided.\
You have merely stated what the Arjun can do but teh T 90 cannot do.

What about the important activities that T 90 can do and Arjun cannot do ?

Arjun cannot give any kickbacks.

I think the cheapest path would be to buy Klubs with AIP and upgrade them to Kilo. ????? $20 mil for original platform, another 5 for upgrade. Sorrrrry. cannot understand your statement "buy Klubs with AIP and upgrade them to Kilo." Do you mean we buy Kilo with AIP (Russian or Indian ? ) ...

Can some experts give us the complete (as far as possible) list of AIP equipped submarines, in service with the various navies ? As far as I recollect, Sweden (Stirling engine), Germany / S Korea (PEM cells), Pakistan (MESMA system) and Russia (Amur 1650) have AIP systems. And the the MESMA system i...

Thanks Maitya! Kersi saar, reason you can't find so many THDs are because there are so few of them. IAF reduced its emphasis on static fixed HPRs post 1965 war (to the dismay of BEL who had budgeted and got significant inventory of THD-1955 systems) and focused more on mobile Medium Power Radars wi...
