NS seems to have done a Parrikar with Mk1A on Arjun. Breaking the logjam and get things moving. I was expecting this. NS has a constituency in TN. Major Arjun orders will happen sooner or later. More Arjun orders translates into money to component suppliers and employment generation opportunities in...

One point ignored in all the clutter is that of the payment terms offered by the Russians. It seems to avoid the CAATSA net, we have agreed on rupee payment with the Russians. It seems to have been confirmed during Putin's last visit. No way the French or the Swedes can offer that. Out of the three...

The cost will increase depending on the # of imported components. - AESA Radars - AA missiles. - Radome Mk1A price will not be in the same range of Mk1. But 400cr seems on the higher side. particularly when HAL did not spend anything on the design. That cost was borne by ADA and MoD separately. ADA ...

Now that India is 5th largest $ economy should we be part of G-7 summit?

With the RM meeting lot of other Defence Ministers on the sidelines, I hope these meetings translate into orders:
- Pinaka, Atags, Dhanush
- Dhruv/Rudra/LCH
- Akash, Brahmos
- Arjun
- Radars.
- Ships, Torpedoes.
We now have innumerable good products.

The so-called pearls also gives us juicy indefensible war-time targets.
we just need to do some extra work - tracking each and every asset moving in and out, which we can easily do with our satellites and planes/UAVs/sonars. I am sure, we are already noting down their magnetic and sonar signatures.

would not the heavier tank be inherently safer for the crew? it is no-brainer that crew will be safer inside Arjun v/s T-90.
what is the crew survivability inside lighter Arjun v/s heavier Arjun under various attacks: RPG, anti-tank mines, ATGM, Anti-tank rounds.

Are they planning a M88-Kaveri engine for Tejas Mk1A? this will need a round of testing and re-certification. will delay the procurement of Mk1A.

IMHO, M88-Kaveri should be used for Tejas Mk2 or M1B or whatever, without delaying the 83 M1A procurement.
