thanks a lot
came across this pic.


from here. Has a collection of pics of participants to Aero India '96

Any idea why 2000 was skipped for hosting AI? Did they fear aircrafts would stop flying due to Y2K?
-----------------------
UPDATE: Occurred to me just after posting. Post-Pokhran edition

Aero India 96 and 98 were held in December. AI 2000 should have been December but was postponed by 2 months to Feb 2001 because of weather. I think it was decided that the weather would be better for flying in February

From Livefist. Col SS Shekhawat is looking as badass as ever. Respect to the man.

February 22, 2013 - Pokhran:
Bahadur tow-truck service


Photo by my homie - Angad Singh

^Bahadur - The mean, rugged street-fighter. The survivor of many down and dirty brawls. Battered, dented, but unconquered. Pure metal.

Really like the attitude of Col SS Shekhawat. These are people who inspire others .
Country need more and more such people with no nonsense attitude. Hats off

Whats that wire behind the aircraft???

Towing a target?

its taken from iron-fist where the aircraft flew with the banner .......that's the string

Which is why, ALWAYS open the image & read the photo details, especially the Photographer's Remarks:

In most cases, all the info you seek will all be in there unless ofcourse its a cross border tasveer

January 15, 2013: Indian Army Day Parade, Dilli

^^^^ It looks like they aren't wearying tin can helmets.

It was a banner reading "Iron Fist 2013". I lost that part of the video

Indian Army BMP-2 firing an ATGM somewhere in Mahajan Ranges in Rajasthan. Clicked by a friend. Can anyone identify the ATGM ??

Konkurs, AT-5 (Spandrel)

@tushar_m : NSFW alert: Each of the above link opens a page to full on adult site before asking to move on to the image.

images removed thanks for the info

Can gurus id this ? I clicked this near the Krishnagiri Checkpost on NH 7.
No escort , just the truck trailer

^^^ 6 wheels - SPH - Most likely 105 mm BMP mounted SPGH.

Bhim is 7 wheeled Arjun chassis.

Unless off course it is some phoren maal.

It's a K9 SPH. Check out the position of the fume extractor, the camouflage and the roadwheels as well as the turret 'lumps and bumps':


L&T is partnering Samsung Techwin for the tracked SPH requirement. This one is still wearing ROK Army camo.

IMHO this is the same one shown in defexpo2012, same camo

X Posted from the Indian Naval Discussion thread.

A number of pictures on the homecoming of INS Sindhurakshak after her refit in Russia are available on this Russian website. The entry is dated May 7, 2013:

Clicky

Who are these? and What is the purpose? How many shots are stored in one vehicle?

Just for record

Those are Mahindra Jeeps, used by the Recce Troop in every Armoured Regiment. They have 7 Veh/ Recce Troop. These operate ahead of the Lead Sabre Squadron and provide Close Reconnaissance/Route Planning to the Armoured Regiment along it's axis of advance.

^^^
Never seen these helmets worn by the Indian soldiers. Are they specially ordered for training exercises with foreign forces so that out folks don't look vintage.

Even other gears look new and smart... they are dressed for occasion

They are all US Army gears,loaned for the joint exercise.

^^^ sure... we are wearing US gear for exercise ??; seems unlikely that we will loan gear from US - and if its happening its shameful IMHO. We can afford a good gear for our braves

Happy now?
