All the above is true. But su 30 is a 3.5 gen plane. Please give us a break.

Ships have been salvaged from such situations for decades. I am not sure about the electronics of the boat.what shape they will be in after being submerged.

Absolutely gorgeous bird. Kudos to the Indian design team that created her. Jai Hind!

What is the expected numbers of planes to be produced?

Dhanush & ATAGS has changed the artillery landscape in India and to imagine we sat on the Bofors blueprints for decades!

The penumatic flick rammer has existed since the soltam gun upgrade of the early 2000s.

WTF, about half not having any orders. I mean it has 1) LUH, 2) ka 62, 3)the light turbo prop trainer plane ( forgot it's name), 4) the LCH . 5) HJT 36 6) Tejas. So what I am looking at is nearly 1500 air crafts to be built by hal. And people are saying no orders with HAL. What's wrong with this pic...

Trump.is bargaining to waive S-400 sanctions for buying F-16s. He can go take a hike. I am in favour of hard american sanctions against India. Only then will there be fire under the Musharraf of our political masters and the r&d bodies will have the required support needed to develop domestic s...

Do we know for sure what the lifting capacity of k226 is for mountains. And how it compares to kmax.

I am guessing. But this unit is not just for DRDO MPATGM, but the entire gamut of man portable ATGMs that BDL manufactures. If your guess is accurate. Then this solves one of the most significant problems faced by DRDO. DRDO strength is working with sme players to come up with rapid design and prot...

Lot of 747s are leaving commercial service. They can be had cheap and be used for the next 10 year at the least. So that is the easiest way to the flying test bed.

Weren't we making engine's for the 90.

Just looked it up & found that its just a plain vanilla RC engine, connected to the prop via a reduction mechanism. The boxy thing in the front is just a radiator :oops: Nevertheless this crude concept for implementing stealth was very innovative for those days. The stealth is acoustic and not ...

The last few pages on the thread reminds me what Ramanna once said. We suffer from whiter than white syndrome. One spot and we start running hear and there and tearing our hair out.

Adag was proposed by GOI to do exactly what. What is the value of the offset that adag is having as compared to others. What is adag making? What's wrong with ADAG being supported by government? And why? Just because people don't like a pvt group, any assistance to it becomes a scam. When the govern...

Simple, it is an Indian design. So the upgrade path is relatively clear for the ship. All the ships built in Indian yard, with Indian materials will result in most or the spend in India. But with this deal 2 ships are ready made and 2 will be Indian made. Best case only 50 %of the expenditure will b...

Wrt reliance for domestic assembly of rafale threre two seperate points to be kept in mind. in the signed deal there is no assembly involved in India.

All the facts of the world cannot overcome the bias of a man who has made up his mind that a scam has taken place. Whatever facts are presented will be twisted to fit the bias.

We don't have a fetish for TFTA. We're used to sdre things and get surprised at stuff that is not sdre.

So by default it gets classified as TFTA when its fit and finish is more uniform or the paint job is high quality. Instead of being dunked in a drum of paint.

It would appear that we are fast approaching a situation where we are extremely well placed wrt 3rd gen ATGM. As we are with 155 mm arty.

Pratyush

What are the major bottlenecks for enhanced production of Tejas? Surely at this time it is no longer the lack of orders. And the line is active with established supply chain.

So what gives?

1. Own Tank
2. Helicopter
3. UAV
4. Another Tank
5. Forward Observers with portable designators
That gives it 4 NLOS guidance modes.

But how will the Invar enter the guidence beam of the NLOS target designator?

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.

Regarding tomohawk, thanks but no thanks.

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 screen shot is not reflecting accurate picture as the most of the jet flights have 2 stops and the duration is 20 hr plus.

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.
