In my office we are having discussion on this purchase. All of my colleagues are fixeated on anil Ambani and his deal with Dassault. No amount of facts will change the views that it is just a commercial arrangement between two entities.

Pratyush

Not for Arjun. But perhaps a new vehicle using the technology developed for Arjun is possible in the weight class.

Did we not see a design study for a new tank.

Pratyush

Why not think out of the box and go for case telescopic ammo in intermediate calibre. Such as 6.8 mm.

For clgm, third party designation. But it will not work with Russian missile.

Regarding tomohawk, thanks but no thanks.

Pratyush

Do we know for sure that Dhanush cannot be upgraded to 52 cal.

Or maybe it can be used in the eastern front where it lighter weight may be or a major advantage.

PS on the issue of bridges in the border areas and the axel load limit on them. Do we know what is the axel load for the atags.

The navy was concerned about the weight related issues with the nlca. What would be the implications for the program of the new process devised by CSIR that reduces weight by 20 %.

Pratyush

The CSIR process that reduces the weight of the LCA by 20%. How much would it help in shedding max take off weight.

The screen shot is not reflecting accurate picture as the most of the jet flights have 2 stops and the duration is 20 hr plus. So we need to have an awareness of which 2 cities the flights are stopping before commenting on the fare. This! Jet may not have direct flights between whatever cities are ...

could it be available initial order?

I have been hearing about 400 odd missiles ordered for at least 15 years. But no diliveries.

That's why I have called it a small order.

Pratyush

The only criticism now is the small order quantity. We need thousands. Not just 100s.

Regarding the helina test at full range. Do we know which seeker was used. As previous reports had suggested that the seeker was range limited to a range of 3.2 KMS during the peak of summer between 10 am to 3 pm. Or thereabouts.

Was the same seeker was used for this test.

Pratyush

Perhaps the official mis spoke. And said that instead of 2022.

Pratyush

This is how progress is made, inches by inches, feet by feet.

The only thing is that this learning must not be allowed to be forgotten. Like it was for hf 24.

With the p 8 at least the program was mature and the only thing that was not delivered by the vendor was lack of offset. Which can still be delivered by them. How, spend the money buying airframes doors from Indian companies and offset obligations are met. If we had gone for any other options except...

Let's hope that this modification is the last one.

Looks like Imran's defence minister is going to be our own Shirleen.

In business, there is something called a trade off analysis. What is the point at which max benefits are accrued from multiple parameters. I'll re-ask my Maruti Alto question - at how many production units will the cost of Maruti Alto become zero? For IAF, the benefits of economies of scale by stan...

The navy never does anything on a whim. Based on their past performance. The only logical point I can think off regarding the nlca mk1 is that while it dosent meet the requirements of the fleet in terms of range and payload. It's development is vital to reduce any gestation period for the mk2. One o...

Small batch quantities in this specific conext is referening primarily to surface to air weapons and has nothing to do with the integration of 1 one single ship or otherwise. Besides, do we know how well it is integrated in the combat management system of the ship. That it can accept seamless data f...

Tsarkar, the argument for standardization cannot be negated by using the LM as an argument. Simply because across the ages military's over the ages have always tried to have standardized weapons and training due to the advantages it brings to them. The difference in equipment in service is because o...

Looking at the capability of the NASSAMS. Don't we already have the spyder in same class.

Pratyush

Jays, why sir.

IMO, as long as it is mature within the service life of Tejas, it should be OK. No?

Or is it because it is not producing enough thrust for service requirements that are stated for mk2 and the AMCA.

Oh boy the mod turns every purchase into a circus. We have completed astra. With little effort it can be turned into a short range SAM. But we are going to buy an American system. Why the constant obsession to turn astra into SRSAM when there is already QRSAM? It's not an obsession. Just an observa...

Is this a sick joke. As after only 30 years of producing the t72 we finally are able to make one in India. PS I distinctly remember a program of the Indian army that was to re engine the vijayanta with the t 72 engine. If we were not making the engine in India. Then where the engine would have come ...

Why mount the zsu 23 on a Tatra. Why not use it as a towed system. With the Tatra acting as an ammo carrier.
