This is the best time for our country. Let us just sit back, sip coconut water and watch the show.

Today all global OEMs are wooing the Indian private sector for doing the joint thing and bidding for the Indian contracts. The Russians are the only ones who dont want to deal with the private sector and only want to deal with PSUs like HAL, NAL, Ordnance factories, etc. it seems that they know that...

thats the whole point. it is far far difficult to use li-ion combine. it is that gilt edged tech that we simply dont have because it is rare even internationally. as such, it is best to go with PAFC which is doable rather than aim for the super duper tech. some key issues in li-ion that the auto ind...

At the risk of reaping the wrath of fellow Rakshaks, I am posting this. I hope the news of DRDO taking the burden of developing an AIP with Phosphric acid fuel cells (PAFC) for scorpene is not true. Because it is impractical to develop AIP for submarines (war fighting) based on PAFC. PAFC is not su...

Why Apache was not cancelled - deal taken way too ahead by the previous Govt. no point ruffling the feathers of US.

thanks Aditya. just checked wiki. my bad. wiki aunty says club missiles also

so does INS Kamorta has only RBU 6000 rockets? no torpedo?

VikB

Is that a Dhruv landing on the carrier?

thank you Karan and Chacko Any other country that fields ship based ballistic missiles? And why not (if not)?

what is the logic of Dhanush? a nuclear capable ballistic missile with 250 km range? the article also says that the missile was tested by SFC .that means it has to be used for nuclear strike only. what is the target? CBG? but 250 is too less. the article also says that the missile has already been ...

VikB

Dhanush was INs claim to being part of the SFC and a TD/training platform for them to get used to Sea launched ballistic missiles. Plus allowed DRDO to build competence likewise. is that all? so then are there plans to put longer range ballistic missiles on ship? are there any in the world? Arihant...

BTW does anyone know why did the MARCO prahar which kept the terrorists engaged on the first night of the 26/11 attacks in the Taj, was not kept in lead with the NSG next day onwards during OP CYCLONE.

I have a hunch - PAF has proven to be smarter than PA (please indulge me) so in case of war which will surely be the handiwork of the PA, PAF will probably just look the other way! remember Kargil. PAF certainly knows the difference between '71 and now. The sheer number of whips that IAF can use to ...

Marten Saar, talk about yourself when labeling others with the arm-chair band. And while some self appointed know-alls may be of 'caliber', does not make the others idiots.

What Marten is saying is very interesting. In a few years the oceans wud be milling with SSBNs with nuclear tip missile club being bigger than even now. There will always be new entrants.

In Dhaka right now. Weird of weirdest thing happened. Around 5 pm, I was at the heart of the city (Mohakali bus stand to be precise) and I hear this roar of a fighter aircraft. And lo behold, a Mig 29 appeared real low in the sky. The bugger was so low that I could see the whitish/light color stripe...
