A shade off topic but this seems to be the appropriate thread....there were articles eons ago wherein the future soldier kit/weapons etc were being discussed...can we, just for theoretical brainstorming , discuss with images of what should the complete BDU with kit/weapon be for Indian soldiers in t...

Gurus...any news on the next two Arihants...reading the previous pages i understood that 2 more were under construction(?) with L&T having made/is completing the outer structures?

Excellent documentary on Garud Cdo Force. Even to layperson's eyes .... the progress is noticeable. It is also a large force with ~1000 members rivalling the MARCOS http://www.ndtv.com/video/player/ndtv-india-documentary/video-story/257589 Their mission set is now confirmed to include: * Combat Sea...

The new missile will weigh 1.5 tons; it will be some 6 metres long and will boast a range of approximately 290 kilometres. More and more I am getting convinced that the actual range for Brahmos is far higher than 300 Km. Noobie question....does this reduction with same range be adjusted with tech i...

fwd bases like hashimara and bagdogra need expansion. all eggs cannot be kept in tezpur and kalaikunda which is 700+km in the rear from AP border. I am thinking a new new hub base in barak valley or tripura is long overdue. this will also provide defence should the PLAAF try to sneak in over myanma...

Septimus P sir,

My above post was just a question..not intended in any other way...i'm a trainee so please forgive me if i phrased it wrong...Thanks

samverma

Septimus P sir, 50 Arihants?? Isn't that too high a figure of one type of nuclear sub? Yes, many nuclear subs are needed but all Arihant...shouldn't we have a dozen or so of this type...stabilize the design aspect as well as the production line and simultaneously start designing/manufacturing a larg...

samverma

Thanks..appreciate the prompt reply.

A little of topic, but may have relevance - GURUS to please correct / educate me/us on this : We have been doing a lot of research/testing on Thorium based reactors as the next possible power generator source for our country...now i understand that it is still in testing / pilot run state (if i read...

samverma

i got a naive question on the PSU issue...can a Maruti Suzuki like venture/structure/organization come into play in the defense sector? Decent privatization with government control/involvement in delicate issues (Manesar problems being an exception but don't think such a huge labor problem will ever...

Dear Moderators,
I have been trying to get details on the types of fuels used by the armed forces use including generic terminology) as well as quantities...i was trying to find this info so that i could do a tentative calculation on the cost of fuel for the armed forces...can u help me?

samverma

IAF and missile regiments are the answer to your question. This will make up for the lack of infrastucture. I understand that these two will be the primary force in play in the NE...but the way we are going, we won't reach 39-45 squadrons till 2030 at least (i am guessing here) and our missile regi...

samverma

China, for all practical purposes, can kiss AP goodbye for the next 30-50 years. May be they can re-visit that topic after that. Nrao, I don't admit to being any form of expert least of all on military matters, but the feeling that i get (very personal opinion) from reading across a range of posts/...

samverma

Would such a plan even be possible against China given the mountains in between ? Maybe we can move in a large number of infantry divisions and free Tibet fast but beyond that I am not sure. Perhaps bomb their infrastructure near the border or a long range brahmos ? :) I don't think we are in a pos...

samverma

So we need to have the discussion on how quick can IA step into conflict and take the offensive.[/quote] With this quote and what Singha sir said about the lack of infrastructure, where do we really stand?? Paper plans of improving the infrastructure seem to be moving at glacial speeds...do we prepa...

samverma

To all the people who replied to my post above...a very big thank you!!! Never went beyond Bagdroga so am forced to visualize the terrain and other difficulties that we will face...But it got me thinking...the defense plans in place are for defending only what we consider to be our version of the bo...

samverma

1) There is an asymmetric component to the threat from the West, which is what started this "response time" business.No such component exists to the East - yet 2) East is more of "Mountain warfare" - a different game (war, height and terrain). Not an expert, but India is more on ...

samverma

i got a question to all people here and since it's related to china,i am asking on this thread....some time ago various officials via the media informed us that since the days of Parakaram, we have been validating various operations and plans to shorten the response time in the event of war on the w...

samverma

An analogy: China has been silently farting in the lift for quite some time. Compare the fart with silently proliferating nukes and missiles to NK/ Pak. It also partially succeeded in getting Pak to point to others in the lift that India was farting and responsible for the smell. Others in the lift...

Sir,

Thank you for the correct info...any idea about the time frame? When the trials start?

samverma

Forgive me for moving a little off topic, but looking at Jamwal sir's pic, i was reminded of the "SIMON" door buster that was shown on a re-run of Future weapons....I remember my relative(who commanded one for the RR battalions in J&K) discussing the issue of porkis sitting behind a do...

samverma

SORRY!!! that's what i meant (don't know what i was thinking while typing)..having said that a naughty thought came to mind whenever i open a link to you site...the blue icon looks like somebody is highly excited

samverma

RAW has not really shown anything more than passing interest in this idea (had spoken to someone from this organization a few years ago)..he said there really is no need for it...dont like to advertise themselves

samverma

Was going back and forth on this thread and got lost...can some one tell me when the upgraded Arjun tank (Mark II is it?) is scheduled for trials and induction?

samverma

Kinda DUMB question but not sure how to articulate the same...in the event of a war with China, will they use the insurgent organizations in the NE part of India as part of the offensive tactics? Like Pakistan uses "freedom fighters"? And will we be able to efficiently tackle both the conv...

samverma

Blue is for signals, supply corp (U can see the ordnance pip on her shoulder) and i think some of the artillery regiments. Black is usually for armoured but not sure here...Red is actually Maroon...the concerned person in the picture is para qualified (i think is the correct terminology) and has som...

Lovely news on the successful launch...gladdens the heart that we have the strength and determination to tackle all obstacles to achieve technology advancements.. One question to all...i understand the need to have a few tests before bulk production of any weapon systems but in the case of the Agni ...

not sure if correct thread but got a glimpse in the TOI (New delhi edition) that ACM Fontaine died earlier today...any links or validity in this?

Singha sir,

u posted a possible scenario of explosive movement just before i pressed the submit button..Bang on target!!

U just might have a great (and horrifying) idea for a potential terrorist plot/ scenario...request you to keep working on it...

samverma

Singha sir, U really sent a shiver down my spine with your scenario :eek: ..as for the stashing part as mentioned by Raja Bose sir, its difficult but then if some one really plans its properly with patience and radical plans it just might be possible.. Hell, the way i see it, u seniors and BRF oldie...

Gentlemen, i have come across an additive product that promises to guarantees a minimum of 10% improvement on any diesel generator (used for back up like in multi story buildings). At an average cost of Rs.43 per ltr(pan India average) the net savings is working out to Rs.2.50 per liter. This has al...

Come to think of it, if we are able to pack in 8-12 Nirbhays into the P17A, then we would be having a really potent frigate. Each would have 24 Barak-8, 32 Barak-1, 8 Brahmos & 8 Nirbhays. Now this sounds too little. But look at it this way, they seldom would move alone. But a squadron of 3 wou...
