Unmanned aircraft are great, but ensuring signal integrity with the jets from a location will be a challenge. What makes me a doubter of Unmanned aircraft replacing manned aircraft is that, enemy counter signals can intercept transmissions to allied unmanned aircraft and knock it out of the fight, o...

Until 2006 MMRCA used to be a 6 billion deal in media/press, by '08 it became 8 billion deal, by 2010 it was "10 billion deal MMRCA", By 13 now its claimed to be 20 billion dollars. Now FGFA has started with 30 billion dollar investment figure, I'm sure by 2025 it'll be a 60 billion dolla...

Wow, while you were trying to insult the GoI, you ended up insulting the army too. Congrats, you are a bigger nut than the 9/11 conspiracy theorists. He did not insult the army, only the politicians. The army only did what it was ordered to do (or not do). Hetsulted the army by insinuating that the...

But body count, where is it? Exactly. Consider this scenario. The Sellout Crew (MMS, Kurshit, SS Menon) had standing orders never to allow even a token retaliation against any cross-border provocation by Pakistan. In fact, their political officers had conveyed up and down the IA ranks that NO retal...

yup.. what prevents us to house an ASW sonar on a bow? The usefulness of the sonar, if the ship is traveling at higher speeds. Bow Sonars degrade in scanning, with higher wakes and turbulence that is caused when ships travel at a higher speed. Corvettes, Frigates and Destroyers are the best ships f...

I am really sad to hear this, but the Navy does not have infinite funds, so I agree with the decision. Vikrant's physical hull may vanish, but the name will live on into the ages as a symbol.

About the two batches of the Talwar class, I found the the 2nd Batch has Brahmos but two AK 630 CIWS, and the 1rst batch has the KLUB and the Kashtan CIWS. Can anybody comment on why the 2nd batch had the CIWS downgraded?

I believe, Rafale deal is gone. Anglo German lobby of eurofighter will eventually seal the deal. There will be eu-India FTA signed, UK will serve as entry point for Indian companies, Germans will sell more engineering items and France will eventually leave without deal. I suspect Cameron, merkel, S...

Now that the 'shooting' and 'protection' abilities of the Arjun vis a vis T-90 have been established, we are left with the 'scooting' abilities of T-90 in urban areas! Unless the T-90 can outrun / out-manoeuvre an ATGM / RPG, it will be deficient to Arjun in such scenarios as well. Remember the Bat...

Okay I think I had way too much time trolling this forum and now I feel guilty. Listen folks, we should buy foreign maal only if it is 10x better than what we have. Not 1.5x or 2x, 10x better. A fine sentiment, but impractical, you are entitled to your PoV, but frankly I cant even take it seriously...

T90 is institutionalized in IA...that is the problem, the first dent it received when Arjun outperformed it in trials...This is only going to spiral down... It is instututionalized in IA, you are right, and yes, the performance for Arjun in the comparative trial went a long way in demonstrating tha...

Gentlemen, Calm down, please! Flinging flames at each other won't win any battles, it will just scorch the Earth you both walk on. We all can see the passion you both have for the IA, but I think you should both take a day or two away from the boards to simmer down the tensions. Otherwise, I feel th...

Hmm, the nozzles should be flattened to reduce IR and RCS signatures. But, round is fine if the nozzles are going to offer 3d thrust vectoring.

Beating the Retreat - 2013 From DD.. I thought only Pakis 'Beat the Retreat' and the Indians 'Beat Retreat', or am I wrong? Beating the Retreat goes back to 17th century England, where nearby units would "retreat" back to the castle to take up defensive positions. Modern day ceremonies ar...

I can see a benefit for putting the gear on an Ilyushin platform because of the infrastructure already built for that aircraft, but I believe the Airbus and Boeing ai...

For the record, I regard the the F-16 and F-18 highly. However, none of the other places where the Rafale 'lost', did it do so to F-16 or F-18. And all the places it lost, the only reason cited was price. Guess what Canada said about the F-35s? Does that make F-35 a bad airplane? It just means that...

I think the better answer to the Pakistani Bull is for the IN to do a full blockade. How do you do a naval blockade without a declaration of war? :-?

^^^ The fitting answer will be for the IAF to drop LGBs on the TSP Army posts closest to the murder of our soldiers. If the Pakis want to ratchet up the escalation ladder, then fine.

Pakistan using nuclear weapons is a real possibility because those religious zealots think they will g...

Gurinder P

The entire discussion is moot. As soon as the IN tries to blockade Karachi or Gadwar, the Pakistanis will escalate to nuclear weapons, so any discussion of conventional threats is meaningless. It would be far more efficient for the IN to simple Nuke Karachi, Gadwar and any other ports the Paki's ha...

Gurinder P, it is explicitly mentioned that the missile is air launched. I think if IN blocks karachi, it will place the carrier some 500km from the shore so it will be out of reach of paf fighters and carrier bourne migs can take care of carrier itself and other ships that are placed near shore. a...

The IAF and Naval Air Arm can control the skies and prevent air launch of missiles, but my worry is when the IN conducts the blockade of Karachi, and the Missiles being land launched or even worse, disguised in shipping containers and being launched at sea against the our glorious fleet.
