I have said it before and I say it again, scrap mmrca. put max money in AMCA and build it in large numbers, where by large I mean upward to 500, let it along with mki and fgfa be the vanguards of our country till distant future. PS - unfortunately it appears that it is almost certain that Modi will ...

Boreas

I dream of a future 50 sqdn IAF. comprising of 200 FGFA + 800 AMCA.

With large number of AMCA enhanced for strike role and and few dozen in growler like configuration.

First they will be added to reach number of sqdns, than as life cycle of exisitng planes end to replace mig29, m2000, mki and lca.

Boreas

scrap rafale, invest a part of saved billion $$ for speedy upgrade of strike capabilities (weapons+sensor+avionics) of tejas. Same would be resuable in AMCA.. at the end India will have two home made aircrafts well versed for strike role. mirage are getting upgraded, fgfa will be coming in some time...

What's up with NAG/HELINA! Can some one visiting today query regarding it's status.

oh terrible news! RIP.

Boreas

but those figures don't add up! are they charging 12-15million per missile?

Boreas

anybody knows the exact number of harpoons navy is going to get for $200 million. What I get from newspaper reports is it is more than 24 (two dozen). It have to be a lot more than that! Harpoon costs 1.5mil a piece.

Boreas

Are you implying that Pakistan or China can amass there troops on the border without Indian Army noticing it? or are you implying that Indian Army will know that enemy is moving troops but won't take any counter-action? That is has happened before multiple times for whatever reason. Most disastrous...

Boreas

Yes, otherwise the chances of a long column of supply trucks getting destroyed by an enemy air attack is equally open. There are things called SAMs. Both air transport and road transport have their vulnerabilities. Do you realize what you said doesn't make any sense? For example - In 71' war Pakist...

Boreas

Concept of air superiority is much changed since the days of World War II, where air superiority implies one rules the sky across the board in their as well as enemy territory. Present day I don't think it will be possible for anybody to establish a similar air control (unless its unkil vs taliban)...

Boreas

My point was about the throughput, and between air and road/rail it is a no contest. IA has 60,000 stallions and 7000 tatras each has the load carrying capacity of a Mi-17 and Chinook respectively. This is what it takes for the the army to move. Compare this to the couple hundred Mi-17 and dozen Ch...

Having said that, it makes no sense to mass produce M777 when we have better products in the pipeline (like the OFB 45cal or the Kalayani gun). M777 in limited numbers is fine for mountain corps but for road accessible areas conventional guns with shoot and scoot capabilities and better firing rang...

RIP B Raman. He always had this extraordinary analytical skill.. he can break down even the most complex of situations into simple 4-5 point list. Stood brave till the end.

Sad day for Indian clandestine community. RIP.

I rather be sitting in a heavily armored Arjun. T-72 may be lighter and mobile but looks weak.

Looks like a c_i_a sponsored trip by the reporter to unveil weakness of syrian tanks.

So you mean to say that USAF got stuck at 200 F22's due to lack of service support and they don't have ROH infrastructure setup So did you mean LM having troubles with over ambitious F35 meaning, we as a country even 65 years after independence we still have to import air dropped dumb bombs from ou...

i think no country either US or Russia or china shows their 5 gen fighter until I flight, only we are showing all these stuffs, i guess this is still not the final design, we only know what it will be when AMCA fly.

mirv development is underway since 8+ years, my guess is most of the unit testing will be over and now the preparations will be going on for final verification vis a vis live missile fire.
