Re: Project 76 SSK: News & Discussion: 20 July 2025

When we can have our own P-76 SSK, then there should not be any P-75I. All the stakeholders should focus on this P-76 program and production run of 12-18 submarines in 3 or 4 tranches. If there is any thoughts of stopgap, then it should be SSN and here MDL production line could be used after the 3 S...

Re: Project 76 SSK: News & Discussion: 20 July 2025

I hope it materializes then we might have 3 shipyard for submarine building.

HSL & MDL to build SSN/SSGN/SSBN

L&T to build SSK.

This will help to build up the sizeable sub surface capability in a relatively quick time.

IN's requirement of TEDBF is less than 100, unless IAF join this project and augment this number to 100+, chances of getting funding to TEDBF is very bleak.

Re: Kaveri & Aero-Engine: News & Discussion

As per the video posted in above post, there is degradation of 7-8% of thrust in case of 404 and if it is same for 414 then the thrust of 414 will come down to ~90-92KN so why restrict upcoming flatrated Kaveri-90Kn to just Tejas-Mk1A, it should also be use in TEDBF/AMCA Mk1.

Astra Mk 1: Solid-propellant rocket

IMO if there is any Astra Mk4 then it might be booster+scramjet and the same concept we can see in SAM also.

Re: Tejas Mk2 Medium Weight Fighter: News & Discussion - 23 February 2019

I think it is time to hedge against both 404 and 414. US behavior is unreliable in this case and can delay both Tejas Mk1A and Mk2. DRDO/HAL should work in parallel to integrate M88-3 or M88-4E in Mk1A for next batch of 97 Mk1As and either M88-4 or upgraded version of Kaveri for Mk2 but then there i...
