Don't worry. Most of these interviews are email interviews. So no question of being insulting or ill mannered.

A program of AMCA's complexity will require at least 10-12 years after the first flight to reach a stage where full fledged induction into the IAF can begin. How does Spacex manage to induct its systems on such a short time frame. It will be worthwhile to study their efforts. These 2-3 decade progr...

^^^ That is an absolute must. Sikhs constitute about 2.5% of the population, but in the armed forces they are about 12% . For the nation's sake the representation in the armed forces should reflect that of the general population roughly. For a long long time I have been suggesting inducting more pe...

It may not be a compromise at all. That was my kind of my point. If you are looking from an intercept efficiency perspective it is actually a superior solution whereas if you are looking from a defended area standpoint the vertical launcher can begin to make more sense (and other scenarios as well)...

Dear all, Its been a pleasure sharing views with you and I have learnt much. Hope I have been able to share some new knowledge and perspectives as well. As I leave I would like share this fantastic video by Sanjay Dixit IAS. He is IAS 86, senior to me and retired as ACS Rajasthan in rank of Princip...

Brother, The nuclear triad concept makes sense for a $20 trillion economy and not for a basketcase economy like us with less than $3 trillion economy. Even by 2030 we will be still at around $7 trillion dollar gdp. For us this is just vishwaguru level delusion. Again why do you want to carry cruise...

darshhan

2 reasons why the UCAV approach is limited: 1) We will need strategic payloads to be carried by manned aircraft 2) I doubt if UCAVs will be trusted with cruise missiles anytime soon IMO, there is a definite requirement for a manned, stealth bomber program. From a nuclear triad perspective, this wil...

I hope when they say Scalp, they mean an Indian weapon similar to Scalp. I really don't us to spend money on integrating a super expensive silver bullet like Scalp. We need air launch low-vis CM in hundreds, so it must be Indian developed. Just need a CM engine and a bigger SAAW. I think, once we m...

There is a clear strategy to target Hindus in their own homeland, if they don't consign themselves to meek dhimmification towards these aggressive anti-national forces. But this is also a chance for us to improve our Hindu "Qaum": - Get rid of antiquated concept of "Dharmic" bro...

I think an AMCA becoming operational in the Mid-Late 2030's is a good target to shoot for. It is achievable though obviously there is risk as is with any advanced technology development and testing. There was a reference to "6th generation technology" mentioned in some past postings and a...

In case US decides to apply Catsaa sanctions on Bharat for procuring Russian S400s, where does that leave Tejas program i.e wrt engines for which we are solely dependent on America??

Om Shanti. A warrior and a mountaineer par excellence. You will be missed Sir.

Another aspect is that being seen as "benign" makes us more acceptable as we move towards 10T GDP and above. We are not seen as threat and a nation which will not use force, unless attacked. Getting towards the 10T is our biggest priority. Chini's wolf warriors and Pak's "freedom fig...

Would be interesting to see if Bharat Forge will make a Mounted system of its 52 caliber ULH I am sure they will be able to mount it on a light 6X6. Will be really Kick Ass for our Army. But military procurement officers feel shy in negotiating their commission amount with Indian Vendors. Hence no ...

darshhan

Why is it taking 2.5 years to manufacture just 5 Arjun Mk1A tanks? Has HVF dismantled it's manufacturing infrastructure? I am willing to bet that army will come up with dozens of must have "improvements" and delay induction by 4-5 years again. Bhai Saheb, Is type ke prashn puch ke sharmin...

Can't believe that a defense correspondent & an ex-Armyman to boot, can be so wrong about basic facts. Shukla wrote an entire blog based on incorrect information, while we amateurs could spot the mistake in 5 min. Sigh....... On a different note, wonder why DRDO's techfocus didn't talk about SA...

Lol. Someone sure knows how to troll. This was too important a target to be left to Remotely controlled machine guns. The killing carries all the Hallmarks of a standard israeli Kidon team. Professional competence and daring of Israeli intelligence/Special ops has been amply demonstrated in this ca...

Farmers will soon get busy with Rabi crops (paddy). They have historically protested during the times when they have nothing to do. My older uncles would use this time to grow cash crops (vegetables and fruits) ., while current generation is so pampered that they cannot come out of wheat, paddy and...

The RR forces do just that. The basis of any engagement whether CT or regular stems from a strong basic of infantry combat tactics and training. Yes, sir. Aware of that. I think it is better to have a separate branch/discipline specializing on COIN and CT (both urban and other environments), right ...

Time to dismantle OFB and fully privatise it. Corporatisation of OFB is a futile exercise if it does not lead to fully privatising OFB or dismantling it altogether and selling its assets / contracts to existing Indian private defence manufacturers. OFB is a national shame. Not possible. Complete pr...

^^^IMO not a good news - Killing a old and fairly known scientist at this time will have NO effect to stop any nuclear bomb(s) they may be planning to make and it will make it extremely difficult to bring Iran *back* in the nuclear deal. I Guess Mossad doesn't agree with you. Neither do facts. You ...

darshhan

I also don't buy into this "Lets hit Pak hard but not talk about it" philosophy. I understand the reason (if we don't talk about it, Pakis don't have pressure to react), but don't agree. Our goal is the dismemberment of Pakistan. For that, a "new norm" should be set in people's ...

With respect to Indian Mil presence in Afghanistan, yes we should have boots on the ground in Afghanistan. But the path to Afghanistan should go through Pakistan. First Conquer Pakistan, and only then we should stabilise Afghanistan

Currently, such display swarms dont have individual sentience, but orient based on individual (not relational to each other) co-ordinates that are pre-programmed and cannot be easily re-programmed Then it is not a swarm as per commonly accepted definition of the swarm. It is just a bunch of drones....

darshhan

The problem is not that Pakis are using tunnels to bypass AIOS(fence) at LoC. That is on expected lines. The problem is that Indians are not using their own set of tunnels to strike at Pakis in their own territory.

darshhan

Its good to make plans that are possible and doable. When India has problems managing our own people, why do you think we should step in to manage the mess that is Pakistan? Let the Pakistani elite who created the mess in the first place own the mess! Our rather limited goal (for now) should be to ...

All gas, both parties are deep in the pocket of corrupt cartels that live off the profits from chini made goods.

One more point regarding this 1500 km Brahmos rumor. Just because something can be done, doesn't mean it has be done. Before starting any project its financial viability and operational utility and effectiveness should be checked. For eg the current Brahmos itself costs 2-3 mil usd as per earlier re...

darshhan

Don't let this be a get out jail free card for the bureaucrats. The trajectory of equipment gaps is against us and gaps will only worsen with time. Geographic advantage on one front will also reduce with time as China makes more airfields. Enemy will learn, adapt, correct mistakes so training and o...

1500 km brahmos supersonic missile sounds untrue to me because some months back there was news of DRDO developing a long range subsonic cruise missile like nirbhay with a range of 1500 kms. Additionally this missile was supposed to have supersonic velocity approx mach 3 in its terminal stage. So why...

darshhan

I hope DRDO also develops the swarm concept for brahmos missiles. For eg a swarm of a 12 brahmos missiles launched at enemy targets, which are communicating and coordinating with each other to attain the most optimium solutions with respect to path selection, targeting behaviour and hence increased ...

Eielson AFB in Alaska now has a dozen F-35A. It appears they're getting them at roughly 2 a month even during COVID. This will need to pick up pace with 42 aircraft required to be delivered over the next 11 months to complete the stand up of the unit in Alaska. Between the F-22A, F-35A, and the upc...
