Questions for gurus/Jingos,
Any news on when the Merlin's are scheduled for delivery?
No news of LCH flying except for VIP demo's, whats the latest?

Planning to visit IAF museum, Palam. Cameras are not allowed inside the museum premises. Is there any way ( special permission etc) by which I can take the camera along? Cheers.... I think you can ask at the gate. I have taken a camera inside once. Even if you are not allowed to take your camera, t...

Why, that shouldnt be too difficult, LCH is black, had tandem seating cockpit, no windows, tyres sticking out for a landing gear. Gurus please take over.

Natt

No news on further flights by LCH anywhere...? Spotters in place?

"wo aa raha hai" Such sorry state of our media..did anyone see how he was calling the Mi-35 an american apache helicopter which had done wonders in afgan and iraq wars..

Vishnu sir what happened here?

Gurus,
What are the advantages/disadvantages of a skid vs rolling landing gear in an attack helicopter. I notice the super cobra uses skid, however tyres seem to be the popular choice all over. Are skids not 'crash-worthy'?

(Also a BR expert needs to edit the LCH page on Wikipedia.)

LCH confirmed airborne..Congratulations to everyone involved.. we have been waiting to hear this news for so long.. jai hind

I checked the source picture, zoomed in, it is the Balidan badge,actually looks like a 'patch' sewn into the shirt. Another thing, if this the only badge/patch he is wearing, it makes sense to wear it on the left side.

chindits blog now serves to "invited readers" only

Sorry mods..coud'nt keep this to myself..

I agree that it could be a little 'show' security with plenty more around. However, a lil bling does no harm and the PR s all good.

Great to see him again. Just a doubt, wont a rank of Wg Cdr make him the CO of 78 sqd. Not sure. Anybody?

Are we developing a Nuclear carrier, is it going to be the second IAC? Nothing yet about a nuclear powered carrier.

Any idea if the military uses blanks or real bullets for such ceremonial firing.
The last thing we need is a injury or worse from a stray bullet.

IAF comes out with brilliant PR stuff, you should see the calenders, post cards etc. I had a HUGE collection of many years. All kinds stuff from mugs, to envelops and even those name stickers which we used yo put on our neatly (brown) covered notebooks in school. A lot of stuff is available at the A...

The badge on the chest with parachute between the wings is a qualified parajumper badge in both the pictures, it is the same badge. The 'eagle badge' on the Garud on the left sleeve (eagle only, on the top) is an AIR FORCE badge. All IAF personnel wear that badge, airmen and officers alike. The eag...

The Mi 17s in the 2nd picture.. are they a new type? The cargo door on the 17s that I have are always roundish in shape. These ones seem pretty flat and straight. New modification?

IMHO, one of the biggest obstacles in failure to lose weight is the lack of control over diet. If there is no discipline in diet, exercise is counterproductive since exercising makes us more hungry and person ends up gaining weight. (Statement backed by Mayo clinic publication). Also going to the gy...

No the name patch is on the left side itself (at least in IN) , btw that is Captain Surendra Ahuja the first IN aviator to have been qualified to fly the US T-45C Goshahawk from a USN carrier and again the first IN aviator to fly the Mig-29K. Here's another picture of a pilot from the same unit. He...

Natt

ook..so that does mean the name tally/patch is supposed to be worn on the right side.. Was my statement correct?

Natt

Gurus please help,
In this picture http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_o_no4M2xEPY/S ... 766165.JPG

1. Isn't the name patch supposed to be on right side and the unit patch on the left?
2. Is there any rule about this or just an informal norm?

Natt

Our defense forces believe in quality more than quantity. (Rightly so in my view) Quality vs Quantity is philosophical debate rather than a strategic one. It is possible to win when you have an overwhelming amount of either of those. To quote Stalin: "Quantity has its own quality" ! From ...

That's because the pilot in the naval LCA need better forward visibility while landing and take off from an aircraft carrier.

Also interesting to note that when women police (wo)manhadle females it seems ok...but absolutely not when done by (men) police. why's that. Our culture apart, even in US a female officer is called when available to handle unruly women.

Natt

Physical violation is perhaps one of the biggest concerns for the induction of women in combat roles. Women soldiers are seen more as a 'woman' than a 'soldier'.

Natt

There has been no change, IAF never parks its choppers at safdarjang. BSF has its Mi 17s parked there. It has one hanger. Pawan Hans has one hanger with some old Bells which havnt flown in 10 years. Except for that there are no parking spaces.

Natt

1. The VIP choppers are parked at the Safdarjang airport, a walking distance from the PM's residence. They fly between here and Palam, where the ARC is based. The agusta westlands will most likely be based in Safdarjang. 2. The Dhruv is inadequate for carrying VIPs because of its small cabin size. ...

Also in that picture, a few guns look similar to american m series with telescoping butt stock and all. If anyone has seen the CNN short documentary on the khyber pass gun bazaar these were the kinda guns they were showing off to the american reporters.

I see, so it is only when mounted on the Ilyushin plane for the IAF that it is placed in a radome, and in the Israeli AF, it was incorporated into the plane? No and like Prasad correctly mentions, the radome s function is solely to protect against the elements, any type of radar will use a radome i...

Radome= Radar+Dome. A structural cover of a radar. Generally made up a substance which doesnt interfere with radio waves. Radome is generally used on a phased array radar since they have moving parts. Rotodome= Rotating+ Dome. Its a radome which rotates. The earlier AWACS which used a structure sim...

I rest my case. I am here to share my enthusiasm of military and not to argue, specially, about things I dont know. Never intended to offend anyone.

Natt

You are correct in a way that previously phalcon system has also been incorporated as pods or within the structure of the plane without having that disc like structure atop the fuselage.
