I am violently opposed to any frigate import for the navy. As it is not adding any jobs in India. Nor do we know for sure if it can accept mfstr. As p 17a was delayed due to a redesign of the base p17 took time. If we choose to build base model p 17. Maybe those could be updated to p17a configuratio...

The ability to roll steel may be an issue but they are still able to forge composite armour for tanks. Why not use that to armour ship's. To build modern day battle ships. The thing is, that the battle ships was obsolete the moment Roma was sunk. As a single weapon had the potential to sink a battle...

Taking the Arjun is double jepoardy any way. If it loses the refrain would be why did you field a loser? If it wins, horrors, why don't you buy it? Even if arjun wins the IA can't and won't buy it.. It has already committed otherwise.. Best that they design a tank on their own! That would just be t...

Pratyush

Yet, no one in the Indian army is open to Arjun whose ap rounds can kill any TSP or PRC MBT.

Pratyush

In non of the Posts you will actually see Philip calling for troubleshooting and finding out problems so that they can be solved.

All his posts have a single theme, hoi we are obliged to Russia and how we suck. Regardless or the thread. Regardless of the context.

Pratyush

Why have gsl building the Russian design. Why not have them building additional p 17a at that location.

Pratyush

These are replacement T90s for the units which had moved from western to the chinese front. Obviously they cannot be replaced with Arjuns. It Arjun orders are to be placed, they will be for T72 units. If things go as they are going at the moment. I will not be surprised if the Armata is purchased s...

Pratyush

Philip may be a Russian shill. But the final decision is with the mod. They need to take the correct decision. Unless they do. Such purchase will continue to be made.

Pratyush

How will tech mature unless it is put in production.

Pratyush

Luh program is one of the reasons why I am opposed to imported solutions.

I prey that it will have IOC and FOC in an uneventful manner and goes on to have a long and boring service with the forces.

Pratyush

The other side of the story is that a pilot would know what he needs to fight and win. Therefore, he is in a better position to formulate requirements and make sure that such requirement are met. As if I am not mistaken, most pilots would have a good understanding of engineering. As a result of thei...

Then let Taiwan decide what they want. Let's not make the decision for them.

Ok.

Name one sub design from a major navy that was proven in service before it's construction began and it entered service.

on one hand china has the weaker hand, on the other hand it owns an awful lot of US govt. debt I don't understand this point. As the value of debt is only when one is able to recover it. How would the PRC recover the debt. If they choose to dump it. Who would pick it up for the PRC to collect fair ...

Pratyush

Wtf in manuvering. I say it is ready to enter service.

Pratyush

Rakesh, interesting train of thought. As I distinctly recall a French comment that Rafale could accept the Kaveri for its service in IAF.

Pratyush

See my problem with the mig 29 demand is that the IAF will not provide it due to high demand for the 29 by the IAF itself. The alternative options is to establish a degree or reliability in a flying platform. Using a 4 engine transport plane. Then move it to Tejas.

Pratyush

Why the obsession with mig 29. Port it to one of the earliest Tejas prototype and test fly it. If the engine has demonstrated reliability on the test bench. It should perform ok when mounted in the Tejas.

Just make sure that ejection seat works.

Why The IAF’s New Push To Control Project LCA Amplifies All That’s Wrong- Shiv Aroor https://www.livefistdefence.com/2018/07/why-the-iafs-new-push-to-control-project-lca-amplifies-all-thats-wrong.html Wtf, was I wrong with my assessment of Shiv aroor. I used to think he was one of the sensible ones.

Pratyush

Time for reality check. Taiwanese must be smoking something really potent to even think of buying something as critical as a submarine from a country which has not built one for itself (of its own design) and which itself relies on foreign suppliers. The Japanese will get the contract for sure. Rea...

If the prime minister says that India is alone and is not in a position to count the support of anyone. You will easily see India beginning developing it's own MIC.

What does the last set of posts have to do with this thread.

Pratyush

The only way it gets built, is when btue Khan imposes sanctions against India under caasta. And Rafael gets turned into a poisoned chalice by Congress Post 2019.

Pratyush

Then develop technology at home. Because if you keep on looking at foreign partner you will keep on getting robbed.

Its time to kill the Arjun project. It is wasting valuable resources on something that will not be produced. It's a lesson on incompetent project management and how disastrously things can turn out when proper engineering requirements are not solidly established from the start. It also highlights t...

Pratyush

Did it ever occur to you that the Indian army asked for Arjun to be the way it is. Do you even understand why Soviet tanks are designed the way they are. When the red army was happy with 60 ton tanks. What compelled them to go with tin cans. Why don't you learn and share with us your learning. Pleas...

If we own the blue prints for scorpean and the 209. I would want to have both the boat's prints shared with every yard that wants to be a part of sub building process in India. Let them come up with their own unique designs.

Pratyush

Is there a GSQR for FMBT?. Can anyone share what the Indian army GSQR for FMBT is. Has it been released to the DRDO. To those who say that the DRDO failed to make xyz improvement to mk2. Can they tell me how many of those improvements are actually a part of the t 90. Preferably a side by side compar...

Then which GT are built by BHEL for naval application.

I recall the Shivalik getting delayed as a result of Obama having a review of all American defence relations when he came to power. And it's engines being with held by Americans.

That I guess rules out the lm 2500.

They should think about buying the engine IP and building the Zorya engines in India under lic production

I thought BHEL already does that. Or which has turbine do they built.

I have not seen any GSQR for the insas replacement. Any one know if it was ever reveled July the Indian army.

Let's just agree that Russia rocks and every body else sucks. That being the case, Indian Navy should only buy Russian and shutdown domestic design capacity. Only building Russian maal in Indian yards under licence. If any problems occur, it will always be the fault of the Indian yards for not being...

Pratyush

Who cares if it is designed by Indians and ment to work in Indian conditions.

The Indian army dosent want it.

If you doubt. Please look at the requirements issued for Arjun and compare how many requirements are met by the tin cans.

Pratyush

Why not cancel the program. This is a waste of taxpayers money.

This is an unwanted orphan child, no one wants it.

Long time coming and a huge achievement.
