Re: Indian Air Force News & Discussion - 23 March 2021
It is an emergency purchase, as after a while they cannot import the same and will have to buy Rudram. That's what everyone thought But what has happened is this: Step 1: emergency import of weapons - limited quantity of even yet-to-be-proven weapons (like the latest ROCKS) Step 2: have the foreign...

Re: ROCKS/Crystal Maze 2, IAF seems to have shifted goalposts about its priorities to deny Rudram family integration. I just don't understand how Rudram, SAAW, Astra Mk2, etc had separation trials 2 or more years ago and are yet to be operationalised while we have Rampage, ROCKS, ASRAAM, etc coming...

At any rate, 248 Astra-Mk1s (200 for IAF & 48 for IN) is a very small number. Ok for initial batch. But now that BDL has started delivering since late 2023, the Production must have stabilized by now Because of this small batch size, the timeline for delivery is 6 years! That's a glacial pace. A...

Yes and its jarring that Astra-Mk1 orders have not materialized beyond the initial 300+.
