While I fully agree the need for the engine, I submit that we will still need to buy aircraft from outside even if we had a fully functioning 90KN engine. HAL is not in a position to deliver the rates IAF requires for squadron replenishment despite whatever capacity it claims it has.

Wait , it gets better… the order for Zorawar for which the RFP is based has a grant order of 56 and weighs 25 tons.

The Sprut which the DGMF is lusting for is 20 tons…

A400 and C390 are almost different class of aircraft. The former has more carrying capacity and is a turboprop. The latter I think has better range.

IAF should have gotten more C17s when the going was good but thats obviously crazy talk …

Just saw the Nutlick video. The sheer arrogance, hubris and obsequiousness to Trump is breathtaking. It is exceeded only by the stupidity of the interviewer who thinks any of this is true… The interviewer seems to be in awe of Nutlick for some reason. “I am the best place setter…”

Bad luck for us. Pakistan in Gaza would have been such a quagmire for them - getting pummelled from three sides would have been a treat to watch: Gazans because thats what they do, Israel and at home because the Army are doing yehoodis bidding which is obviously haraam.

Tim Walz talks a great game against Orange man and is all fire and brimstone. But when it comes time to actually stand up to him and defend his constituents he turns tail and runs.

I am always sceptical when a company suddenly comes up with a solution for a problem that has stumped the best minds with decent resources for years and claims it is the panacea. Especially ones that are just 7-8 years old, with no track record of delivery. They are either not solving the same probl...

So on the Indigo affair: IndiGo was asked to reply by 1800 hours - they didn’t and claimed that DGCA rules give them a period of 15 days for RCA, so that’s when they will file the response. Meanwhile MoCA has cut IndiGo routes by 10%. No sign of fines so far. So affair IndiGo has quietly died down....

How such a compromised guy became the governor of RBI is right up there with currency plate sellout in terms of selling out national interests. It was a rare misstep by Modiji on keeping him around, albeit cant blame him really as he was quite new and unaware of the depth of snake infestation.
