Why will they ask when like a child they are getting whatever they want. The govt.

Will the rocket force include long range Kamikaze drones? Some of you might
nitpick on the drones so rocket powered long range drones.

We can argue all we like. But carriers are not going away. US is building more, as is China
and India wants more. Nothing more to say.

An aircraft carrier can stay say 500kms from an enemy's coast for a few months at a time. Think of the resources we need to do it "with unmanned refuellers+Marine Netras+fighters (all taking off from Naval bases)". Tomorrow if the enemy is 2000kms or more from the our bases, then what wil...

A total of "600 aerial bombs are planned to be procured" under the 'Buy (Indian-IDDM)' category in accordance with the DAP 2020 provisions, the officials said.

Only 600 or just the first batch? Or they will then open a tender for the next batch like in Light Tank.

Kawasaki C-2 will be the best bet only if the Japanese agree. ShinMaywa US-2 would also be nice if they agree.

Forget the IAF, The IN can project power. They also have very capable ships. But when it comes to giving them the power projection capability with Good Number of larger ships, the Govt is in some other world. This is achievable. No one cares. The orders are in 3's and 4's like ordering Idly during ...

There is no sense of urgency. It shows the defensive mindset of the Govt and AF that we are not looking for power projection.

The lack of turbofan development is the reason why India is struggling with her military aviation programs.

Could West Asian countries are letting Iran hit them. Let the price of oil go up? Yes it is hurting them a bit but the plan is the let Iran hit US and Israel. If yes what could be the goal? Getting US out of West Asia? Going after US equipment's so as to degrade it as much as possible in West Asia. ...

Shortage in THrust weight should matter lesser here given these are trainers, and meant to be cheaper and also to be considered for export where we would not need US approval

Once the german sub are contracted, 3 more french ones will come and P76 will get approved.

We needed Rafale no doubt but Tejas was left hanging by the AF like a orphan until Late Mohohar Parrikar did what was needed...3 legged cheetah and what not.

3 boat additional should be given to L&T only they can do justice. I guess P76 will come after this deal is signed.

ashthor

All we can do is rant and spike up the BP. In the tunnel the only picture was Rafale rest was all black.

We should double down on AMCA and beyond. France will try to tie us down to them along with help from some of our own people.
We are pretty much there in the missiles as we can see from the deals Israel it trying to push down to us. Just a final push is needed
for engines.

Money is not the problem as we have seen from the recent purchases of aircrafts and submarines. Not to
mention the doles given out by the various governments. Its the intent. Hum nahi sudhrenge.
