can some gurus describe the air def env .. and role of different radars etc ..?? Rajendra looks for threats all around Delhi, finds out targets are coming. Once the target is within the kill zone i.e 25 KM, the control centre will assign the target . The assignment has to be accepted by the battery...

The israeli Iron Helmet anti artillery system is designed to do exactly that. I hope you meant Iron dome. Iron dome involves hitting incoming shells and mortars with a short range missile. It is a very complex system. Israel being a very small country, such a system is justifiable. However, I think...

Suweeet uh! The nice "fat back" has given an SU30 ish look to the front. Hopefully, the Air Force sees the light of the day and goes with the "trainer" version as final , just asking for the 2nd seat space in the hump filled to the brim with an internal tank (like the Navy versi...

One question to Gurus here, does it make sense for Land based targets to have a Navy type CIWS gun. This destroy DUmb Bombs, LGB's, AGM -65 type munition on its way to the target. Aditya, you stole my thought! Place some CIWS around all the major installations and give them task of taking down the ...

The issue is whether the funding for any "indigenous" product is adequate? Is the DRDO failing or our commitment towards adequate funding failing? Even LCA project (considering the depreciation of the rupee) has spent around US$ 2 Billon. Now are we trying to create MCA with half the fund...

That is not the correct abbreviation for KALI. It is Kilo Ampere Linear Injector

Very little information is available on their status.

Perhaps gurus with divya dristhi can shed some light.

True! Its better to standardize the fleet instead of playing circus feats with different types of aircraft in the inventory. Maintenance will be nothing but a night mare then. Considering that IL-78 travelled from India to US for Redflag, with some stopovers though, it is not an inferior platform ei...

Manjgu,

A very good question. But I dont know the answer and leave it to the gurus.

Excuse the naivity but can someone enlighten me on the advantages traditional 155mm Howitzer fire enjoy over a Pinaka MRLS launcher with 12 rockets capable of releasing it's load in 44 seconds and 4 minutes of replinishment time Simple.

Cannot say that. Shukla is not the only one who has access to ppl working on PAK-FA. This piece of news about 25% work by HAL etc etc, must have released officially.

Even though Gorki is a lil bit heavier than IAC, it is not made as a true AC. It is a missile cruiser.

Rahul bhai, I remember reading some time back that IN has removed the white color in its roundel to reduce visibility.

India’s indigenous light combat aircraft Tejas went past its ultimate speed of 1,350 KMPH over the Goa skies and clocked the fastest speed ever, a top IAF officer said on Tuesday.

It says LCA went past its ultimate speed of 1,350 KMPH. Does this mean that it actually flew faster than 1,350 KMPH?

Even though I am not very happy on IAF buying C-17's, there aren't many alternatives. Besides, George' argument is very convincing.

Anyway, only time will tell how committed the US are this time around.

Now can we discuss the price of the LCA as of today? The last I read, it was 31 million a piece (As per Reuters). Isn't that 31 million for the NLCA? Even though LCA initially might cost some where between 20-25 million a piece, cost might come down as the production picks up. If only it happens. N...
