The small astra orders where to streamline for larger orders

ashthor

How many trainer in the new order?

ashthor

189 will be Rafales only Sirjee. The original MMRCA tender was 18 + 108 = 126, plus 50% options i.e. approx. 63

36+26+26(asumming a second order for M)=88 so another 101 Rafales for airforce. Total 137

Why not cap it at 126 and invest in ORCA now that TEDBF will be coming.

ashthor

Now Katrina will also come for sure. Looks like you order Tejas first then i will order Rafale.

ashthor

Mk2 is coming so is Rafale 72+ 26(M) just enough to start local production for India and exports.

I suggest a twin barrel 130mm tank. With quad ATGM and Quad drone drone capsule.

ashthor

I think we are held back by our own people who acts as puppets for others....Everything including desi corporate's is being used to pull down Atmanirbhar Bharat.

ashthor

Who will tell that. Wont we be ahead of our neighbors then. Tauba tauba

Coast Guard primarily for within Indian EEZ

Why cant coast guard also do some anti piracy? They can certainly gain from experience. If their
mandate/charter is a problem the they could work under the navy.

ashthor

Cant it be done by the Coast Guard?

ashthor

Reliance for - Rafale
Adani for - Gripen
Tata for - F16

No one for AMCA....Atamanirbhar down the drain. Everyone wants to do screwdriver giri.

ashthor

The closer Rafale comes more khujali starts

ashthor

Looks like Kaveri is near its goal. No wonder unkil wants to set up its engine before kaveri is proven and put a stop to it.
Similar Stryker is on offer when WhAP is getting ready.

ashthor

Cant a few Tapas be handed over to BSF, ITBP and CRPF for anti naxal and border operations and also the Coast Guard. I am sure they
will do wonders with it and we can also recover the R&D cost and perhaps do better in Mk2.

ashthor

Elections are coming next year...SS 3.0 is not far off

ashthor

May be unkil was holding out on 414, till we said...my way or highway.

ashthor

ORCA -5gen will compliment AMCA 5 gen. Looking at how expensive the 5 gen (F22 & F35) is to operate and maintain we will have to look into ORCA sooner or later. We should follow what the french with the Rafale from Naval to Air force. It will be a low hanging fruit with most of the work done on ...

ashthor

Looks like additional Rafale is tied to the additional orders of Tejas MK1A.

ashthor

PM is visiting HAL today...some announcement might come.

ashthor

The order for the 97 will come before the 2024 elections.

What are the possibility for a reserve command (reserve force)? Under which command will central & south India come?
What about Bangladesh and Myanmar?

ashthor

Will the 97 order include more trainers or will this 18 suffice? Or will Mk1A trainers will be ordered later.

ashthor

There is another thing the Lt General said that they didn't have any clue about the Vajra reload vehicle. Watch from 1:12:33

ATAGS is 18/20/22 tons depending on who you ask. Absolute maximum of Mi-26 is 20 tons which will fall further at altitudes of Ladakh so I dont think ATAGS is either

Let me rephrase that....i meant transported by air(aircraft).

ashthor

ATGS should be used in ladhak area. They can be transported by heli.If the Vajra being 50 ton can be moved there so can the ATGS.

They should have gone for incremental upgrades for every 300 guns.

ashthor

Hopefully soon like LACMk1A and Prachand we might get a good and big news for this thread.

It might come before the elections to show that we are fully committed to Atmanirbharta and PSU's(vote bank).
