Not that I am justifying this decision, but wanted to add some points to factor: Having a subsidized BSNL keeps rates down for other private players (Airtel, Jio, Idea/Vodaphone) and prevents a cabal. Also, prior to 2019 elections there were rumors of Modi selling off BSNL and all the staff were pis...

IAF leadership is made up of fighter jockeys.
Govt should appoint chiefs from engineering and logistics sides more often.
War outcome is decided by logistics.

from the image: its drone launched. range 1km. missile -> some guidance exists.

To summarize we have produced so far:
IOC , FOC - 32
LSP - 8
PV - 6
TD - 2
Are the LSP aircrafts upgraded to FOC/Mk1A standards and can they enter squadron service?

SL brings us deep sea port, extended fishing zones, EEZ - mining of sands, better satellite launch sites, better connectivity between east and west seaboards, easier reach into Indian Ocean. .

After 4 years, Agniveers can be absorbed in Central Police forces, or can be given additional benefits - cheaper loans, reservations in central jobs (railways, PSUs, etc). these schemes will evolve over the next few years.

A Deshmukh

Don't they say 5-6 more years, every year?

A Deshmukh

DRDO is doing that exact thing. That is what swift will lead up to. I think SWIFT is a serious TD by itself. What I want to suggest is create a UAV/RPV just to test and evolve Kaveri. Just take Kaveri in the air to test its performance. (ignore the other fancy stuff like stealth, missiles, radar, e...

A Deshmukh

We should also get a Kaveri version for UCAV.
UCAV itself can be designed around Kaveri.
Even if a few crashes do happen during testing, it would still be a cheaper and faster way to evolve Kaveri.
Once the TD matures, UCAV can be enhanced to carry payloads.

larger volumes bring in economies of scale.
Downstream SMEs will benefit from bigger volumes.
tying up with western MIC (GE engines, missiles, and other add-ons for export variants), reduces risks of sanctions disruption.

CI is defensive. In our territory.
Army should be planning and preparing for fighting beyond our borders.

IMHO, Russia seems to have achieved its stated goals. It can declare ceasefire. and Ukr can declare victory that they held back mighty Rus from capturing Kyiv and Kharkiv. Both sides get victory.

Complete indeginisation makes no economic sense for HAL for a measly 15 birds!!! Agreed and understand your angst. Have patience. More orders will come. Considering that ALH has been ordered in 100s in batches, I expect the same pattern with LCH also. They ordered the first batch of LSP in March la...

There have been multiple reports of what the range of the 'extended version' is. Early trials for the Army version had mentioned 400 kms. This figure started coming out as soon as the MTCR restrictions became non-applicable for India. There were also reports that the original range of Brahmos was a...

We have seen Chinese strength in good roads and vehicles/mobility & armor. Any anti-armor capability is a good step in a right direction. LCH airframes are being built, and will take time to get in numbers required. MI-17 augmentation will be faster. With the current govt stress on Indian soluti...

A single pilot will not be able to do six separate missions per day. Each mission is quite exhausting on the human body. So rotation of pilots will happen, if required. If there is a gap in production between FOC and Mk1A, we can do a repeat order of FOC trainers. Train more and more pilots that ca...

My assessment was if they don’t take Kyiv within a week they were never going capture it without a very expensive campaign financially & casualty wise (even I didn’t expect this bad). From how the war has progressed so far, it does not seem Russia ever wanted to capture Kyiv. They have statione...
