Saurav that's a great resource for all things related to undersea warfare. Capt. Jive turkey's videos on cold waters game are fun and informative. He tries to keep it balanced and realistic. Highly recommended.

^^ it's part of the landing gear. The gear extends and locks onto the globular thing below the intake. You can find a similar bulge below the opposite intake. It's just an aerodynamic cover for the landing gear lock.

So why exactly did we import these instead of license-building them at HAL, like we usually do?

IIRC, they are being assembled in an IAF BRD in punjab

there is high risk of injury to the back when up righting a fully loaded bike, the rider must take stock of the situation first and then oly attempt lifting the bike. and this should be done in a calm and controlled manner.

[size=50]there seems to be a new trend of using electric motors to drive the turbo charger. ofcourse, people are depating if this should be called a turbo charger at all .but the promise is nice oomph right from low rpms and eliminate turbo lag completely. wouldn't it be called a RAM air intake ?

Engine failure, or engine failure tests? Could it be two different engines? One WS-13 for testing and a RD-33/93 for backup. I think the starboard engine is an RD-93, visually it looks like it.
