The more important questions to ask is how many such days can Israel and it's backers have. Before, the Iranian attacks start hitting targets.

One option would be escort and protection of only Indian owned merchant ships. Then again Indian nationals are part of the crew of a lot of international merchant marine. Extend protection to Indian commerce in the following way. 1) Any ship, originating from anywhere in the world to any port in In...

My distress is anti piracy and disaster ops will cut into IN.fighting ability. Maybe designate only certain ships are tasked to this mission. The size of the Indian Navy has to increase as our economy and trade grows. That's the only way we can keep our sea lanes open and safe from unfriendly powers.

Pratyush

I dont get why GoI is not open to a strategic investment in Embraer and use their planes for our defense needs. Great opportunity IMO and Brazil will be open to it IMO. Their has to be a business case for such an investment. Either the IAF through the MOD or the Ministry of civil aviation has to ma...

I am concerned about the reaction of Indian Shia Muslims. Second. do the Iranian Mullas think that they can keep their civil society in check in the face of US and western military pressure. Third, in the face of Iranian efforts to block the straits of Hormuz. Will the Saudi and UAE navies keep quie...

A2A missiles are not purchased at regular intervals. It is a rare event. However, in a higher threat environment it would be prudent to stockpile more. The question is, and I am not keen to know the official answer to, as on today how many of the Sukhois and other a/c are Astra capable. Most likely...

Pratyush

The logical reasoning from IAF maybe that they have enough stockpile of imported A2A BVR missiles in their kitty and it may not make economical sense to order more Astra Mk1 at this time but as more and more Tejas Mk1A joins the IAF fleet, they may order in the next 3-4 years. Once Astra Mk2 is rea...

Looking at the situation I cannot take a definite stand, if a war is inevitable or the current unstable situation will continue till everyone is exhausted and just goes home. Because even though everyone is focusing on the proxies being used by Iran. Unkil also has his proxies and they have attacked...

Pratyush

And yet the Air chief has talked about establishing a second assembly line for Astra. Like it's production is held up due to a lack of assembly line.

The silence of our import bahadurs is deafening.

I shudder to think of this was an LCH that had to make such a landing. We would not have heard the end of that.

Ton for ton of displacement, the Indian SSK is going to be more expensive than the verginia class submarines of the USN. So the argument of costs is not really justified. The problem is the brass. That is making a complete dog's breakfast of our procurement programs. Consequently our war fighting ab...

Watching the shenanigans of the Indian army over the last few years. I feel sorry for Kalyani. His only hope is an export market.

The Army is out to make sure that no Kalyani will rise again in India.

Cybaru, Exactly! Now you are thinking. The P 75I makes no sense on its own. That's the reason why in the PRC thread on the forum. I had said that, if we are not able to figure out what is required to deal with the them. Then it's better to seek terms now. Then to continue with the delusion that with...

Looking at the map posted by Rakesh. It becomes clear that the the Indian Navy is not going to be operating in the South China sea using conventional submarines. A conventional submarine, no matter how long ranged will not have the time on station. But having said all the above. If an Indian SSK was...

But we do. Ordinance factory Tiruchirappalli makes the shot Milkor MGL under licence. The particular PRC weapon is unique. But the Indian Anti material rifles can fulfill the same niche as the PLA weapon. If long ranged Anti Sniper activities are required. Having said that, looking at the towed 82 m...

Snip... Recent statements by Dr SJ do indeed indicate that we are no longer fully behind Israel in the way they are prosecuting this war. I'm trying to find a reference, it was in response to a question during his visit to Malaysia I think, the shift in our position was clear. India has always supp...

You cannot wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. The European left thinks that by being in bed with hard Islamic conservatives they can rule.

At this point in time India doesn't have a lot of cards to play.

An observation on Mr Vadra. I used to watch him run in Lodhi Garden and he was an okay looking chap. With a great deal of determination and strength in his body language. Even in infamous "are you serious" video. You could see the arrogance in his face. This guy now looks like he has spent...

The underlined portion is a reflection of a truly frightening state of affairs.

It would seem that the chair force wallas are more serious about future war fighting than the actual Air force wallas.

There is question going through my mind for the last few days.

Looking at the opposition rally held in Delhi and the lack of visible support on the ground for them. How likely is it that there is a massive outrage building against the BJP through the social media. But we are not able to see it?

Pratyush

Why do we need to look at the efficiency of German AIP? Can't the tech developed by DRDO for AIP be scaled up or down to be integrated with whichever design is chosen?

Pratyush

Reading the truth behind the post from Rakesh. Coupled with the inability of the Indian armed forces to clearly articulate the force structure required to deal with an industrial PRC. I think that it would be prudent for the Indian leadership to seek surrender terms from PRC. Get it over and done wi...

The PRC equivalent will not be that much more expensive.

Just because it's a blowback doesn't mean Hamas has to be destroyed.

Pratyush

The problem with the IAF is not it's inability to understand the problem. Or even the Indian industries ability to diliver on the solution. The problem is the order quantities that are deliberately designed to prevent mass production of indigenous equipment.

Pratyush

Guys, Just because a line is claimed to be capable of producing 300k missiles per year. Doesn't mean that it will. Most likely that's the max capacity of the line. The efficient minimum annual order quantities needed to keep the line going are likely to be under one 10th of that. This does represent...

Pratyush

If cars can be mass produced, no reason why cruise missile or any other kind of weapon can't be mass produced. All you require is the imagination to build a line needed to get the job done.

Garchetty needs to be PNGed in June for blatant meddling in Indian elections. Much as I support doing that to him. The cold and calculating side of me, wants to keep this clown in India.

Pratyush, I don't think nuke subs do anything to scare anyone away.
