If one were to think objectively: 1) There is an assured supply of Russian engines, and a local supply chain exists for 25-50% of that engine 2) Russian engines are less efficient and less reliable, necessitating a twin engine design 3) India is now fully capable of designing and manufacturing a del...

Air Chief Marshal has no good words for the Tejas, how it is easy to fly, modern compared to the old Mig-21 it replaced. Ease of training pilots, modern weapons and much more in the Tejas.

What is the main air search radar?

It's not cross dome - that's been replaced with a planar array. And it doesn't look like revathi...it's something lighter

The Lynx U2 & surface search radar are now ubiquitous. Finally some fleet-wide standardization

On a strategic level of thinking, all these 7-8 decades of maturity come from the desire to remain at the bleeding edge of military capabilities. That only happens once you experience long-term wars, death, and destruction. 1) The UK built an empire, and fought 2 bloody wars, and lost that empire. I...

Surely corvettes can make the leap from 500 tons to 5000 tons, no?

The 76 mm is a modular mount. They tend to cycle these modules from a pool depending on what ship & module is due for maintenance. Eventually it’ll have a stealthy mount (for the most part).
