This is the email id of RM, Shri. A.K. Antony- ak.antony@sansad.nic.in Sounds naive but if we can get adequate numbers to respond to, it might help. Also, exposure using contacts in media. How much can RTI be of help since this is a defence matter? I also feel if majority smells a rat then a strate...

Weight can be issue if the bridges cannot support 60 tonnes or the trains are not able to carry these tanks to border. As for the operations in Rajasthan and Punjab someone kindly explain me how this weight is an issue ? I have read that the ground pressure is less than T-90 or t-72 implying it has ...

My personal experience is that the bribes are quite prevalent in IA like all other Government organisations. Sub standard goods are often passed after due consideration. In the dealing between PSUs the personal consideration vanishes. So the officials have motivation to go for Russian tanks in excha...

While browsing I found an article detailing on the vulnerabilities of surface ships in a navy. www.johntreed.com/sittingducks.html In the light of this article I want to know the role of aircraft carriers and other ships in Indian navy. Are the surface ships really the sitting ducks? Is surface ship...

@Mihir Thanks for reply regarding 5) point read you commentary of role of aircrafts in WWI. @Boreas, Rohit , Narayan and Yogi Thanks for your inputs. @katare Thanks for understanding the points related to economics, the constraints, resources capabilities and the theory of optimization. Given Infini...

Shouldn't abhishek goel be directed to the newbie thread? :roll: +1. We have had several other posters in the past arguing that the tank was dead. This is getting repetitive and boring. I know tank is not dead as long as there are buyers & sellers. Just need to know if it is more than a poetic ...

Abhishek, you are confusing several different issues in your post, and applying the limited lessons of one-off, unique, conflicts, to the case of a large-scale general war. 1. Anti-tank weapons are lethal, deadly, and cheap enough to make short work of an armoured assault. 2. Tanks are next to usel...

actually it's the other way around, the aerial campaign was used to soften the iraqis so as to reduce casualties.------- goals and no one does that better than strikers. It has taken the trajectory of argument than a discussion, with an ironic small print considering the language of post above. Com...

Added @abhishekgoel saab, Tanks are the best way to breach enemy lines. Imagine doing this by using plane infantry and you will know the reasons Tanks will be necessary. Eventhough a Tank may be defeated by ATGM or Light guns, a Tank column can not. And when a tank regiment is charging towards you,...

1) recoil-less guns and bazooka cannot destroy the present generation MBT's ATGM can be taken care by Active protection systems. 2) they can be used where ever maneuvers are possible let the maneuvers be limited. are you serious !!! Siachen and kargil are exception's. There are enough examples of I...

not necessary? I feel that they can be destroyed by cheaper means especially in defense. e.g. Bazooka, javelin, battle of khemkaran PVC Abdul Hamid with a Jeep and recoil-less gun destroyed six Patton tanks. recoil-less guns and bazooka cannot destroy the present generation MBT's ATGM can be taken ...

Just wondering Are the tanks really necessary? What exactly there role in battlefield now? When invented they were used as cavalry to break infantry formation, with time newer, cheaper and more effective weapons have been invented? Should n't IA purchase more combat Helicopters instead? I should re...

Just wondering Are the tanks really necessary? What exactly there role in battlefield now? When invented they were used as cavalry to break infantry formation, with time newer, cheaper and more effective weapons have been invented?

Should n't IA purchase more combat Helicopters instead?

Any updates on the testing results of the Engine.
