Did we ever get any detailed reason why Apache crashed? Was it fault of the machine, maintainence or crew? When it comes to foreign maal we do not use the same yardstick that we use for desi platforms

Dumb question: Who is responsible for integration of Astra on MK1A? DRDO, ADA or HAL? What exactly is holding this up? Also we talking of Astra MK1 or MK2?

Brad Goodman

Thankyou, I missed that out.

Wasnt there some new of an professor from IIT Kanpur who said the canard placement was not optimum. Not sure what happened to it

I feel like Unkill is forcing Stryker down our throat as offset for 414 deal, I have not data to back it but just a hunch

Brad Goodman

Yes. If the IAF & IA are going to act uppity, better give it to forces who will appreciate the platform! Its current capabilities are nothing to sneeze at. And *even if* the design of Tapas is a dead-end (& I am not saying it is), we should still order a few dozen of these because of our ma...

Brad Goodman

Hats off to Navy for taking the leadership decisions on Tapas. I have been a big supporter of this program. Build/buy and perfect systems, provide real time feedback by 1st using the systems learning what you can do and what you would like to do and then work with DRDO to make it happen, It maybe sl...

How easy is it to make Uttam speak with onboard mission computer of Mirage? Do we have source codes and ability to make changes to that software? With Russian birds over years we have switched lots of their softwares with ours so it is easier to integrate LRU or weapons on them. Mirages may be diffe...

can I ask a dumb question here? If Rustom falls short of Army & AF requirements what is stopping the government from procuring them for say BSF, ITBP and Coast Guards. Yes it does not have the paylod you need or endurance asked for by armed forces but the paramilitary should be able to find them...

Is 42 number for manned aircrafts only? I have a feeling once Ghataks and similar platforms comeonline then every 42 is too low a number.

Brad Goodman

I am with all of you. That is why I asked him the question. This is perfect project to be completely outsourced to private industry perhaps Bajaj / Hero/ TVS or even Kinetic guys. These are cheap can be made in their existing set-up, Low R&D cost and the possibilities to use them by all 3 wings ...

In light of operational experience, Chinese now have a lot of user feedback to improve upon. Their subsequent iterations will definitely benefit from the same. This might be offtopic so please feel free to delete or move it. Cheeni Army & CCP are corrupt to the hilt, They do not need Pakis to t...

I was speaking with a Pakistani car mechanic and the frustration at economic situation was pretty evident, He said if we can get some political stability we can least start growing the way Afghanistan is growing, They are now seriously competing with Afghans.

Brad Goodman

Brad, your question about GE and P&E is too unfocused to give you a correct answer. Ie. What new planes are coming with P&E engine's? Civilian or military. 2) we don't know who the engine provider would be for both USAF and USN NGAD program. Nor do we know who the engine provider is for the...

Brad Goodman

One thing I notice about these Pakistani historians is they will blame politicians they now have started to blame army, they blame awaam, they blame unkill and everyone else but not a word against Malsi. If Pakistan was created for la ilahaa ... then sure the blame must fall on it as well

Brad Goodman

Can I ask a couple of engine related questions, maybe they might be offtopic to Kaveri so Mods can delete the post. The first question I have from engine design philosophy is what is the difference between P&W Vs GE engines? Why are all new planes coming with P&E ? Is GE becoming like Ford o...

Brad Goodman

Why are we being so harsh? Chinese do the same and call their platforms J15 J16... We are not doing a paint job like bandar, there are seriously cutting edge stuff being designed and integrated into these birds. We still call it SU-30 and not made in India with fancy names

I am not sure if this point was discussed here before but something that occurred to me while I was watching some old programs. We always think of Pakis having 3.5 fathers who have been endlessly bashed here. What we never discussed was actually it was 4.5 the missing dad was India. Let me elaborate...

^^^^ Prices still considerably cheaper than in India or US. How will it pencil out? Are they getting cheaper crude, or do they have magic refineries? Or is it coming out of potential tax revenues/subsidies? For years they got Oil from Saudis in deferred payments, politicians when see an opportunity...

Pakistan has a debt of $128B and out of this $23B is due this year. Even after discounting what they need to pay Saudis or Emiratis which might get rolled over they still need $12-15 Billion just pay debt. There is $4B of pure interest they need to pay. Hoodbhuy was talking about economic reforms bu...

Was thinking aloud about why all of sudden Unkil has lost interest in bailing out Pakis. All these years Pakis played the strategic location card and Unkill thought that Russia's underbelly was via the stans which could be exploited via pakistan. Now looks like the underbelly moved to Ukraine so all...

I don't understand why we issued notice under Indus Waters Treaty today. The Pakis are eating themselves alive at the moment. Why give them a chance to unite against Evil Hindoo India? Bad timing IMHO. All the hindu hatered works when the tummies are filled with biryanis and cheap petrol to drive a...

I agree you cannot just refuse everything till it meets your expectations. NLCA may not be a great fit for Vikrant but if Navy has positioned them in Andaman or used in Goa it would have helped train pilots, add more flying hours, refine tactics and still play important roles in combat. You place th...

On a side note - i happened to come across some Paki railfan blogs where they document their journeys etc. What surprised me is the utter un-industrialization of Pakistan - one does not see any factories or any freight movement at all. Their main trunk lines - running between Isloo-Lahore-Karachi l...
