As one army chief put it not too long ago,Arjun is "not a tank for the future which the IA needs".It has taken so long in development that it will lose its cutting tech edge in a faster period of time. The US army recently cancelled its FMBT, feeling the system to be too expensive and the...

The Army badly needs leadership.

The MoD badly needs a minister.

Will we see these emerge in the coming years?

well, if only looks could reveal anything, the incoming chief appears to be a tough guy. Maybe RayC can comment.

This is not bashing of the IA. it is a bashing of the political class and the bureaucracy. Policy making is their domain. The IA general is only making a realistic assessment of the situation. It is only regrettable that he is voicing it in public. But even this is happening because the politicos he...

This scares me - please calm down. No Indian tanks are not "night-blind". Even the Vijayantas and T-55s have either IR or Xenon night-fighting equipment or II night sights. The bulk of the T-72 fleet has II night sights with more than 300 - possibly 700 - having TISAS. The T-90s have TI s...

True, but France doesnt have the same threat perception of India, as Russia has of China ! :idea: While that may be true, they wouldn't want to lose out on the moolah like they did when they reverse engineered Su-30s into J-11s either. And the threat perception comes to a nought when one considers ...

Since Russia itself is phasing out the Su-33 with the Mig-29, it is quite possible that the Chinese deal may never come to be. Moreover, the Su-33 proved to be more of a white elephant on board the the Kuznetsov. Since we're only guessing, China could end up getting the entire TOT for Su-33! IIRC, ...

India’s biggest military hardware supplier, Russia, which was asked for information on the Sukhoi-33, has opted out of the race saying it is phasing out the plane, a navy source told The Telegraph.

To launch the HN-xx at Port Blair, the Tu-16 would have to be somewhere over Myanmar. That can be tackled by the MKIs from Assam. But the Pandas wont do that.
