Personally I want India to be under CAASTA regime.

That's the only way a domestic MIC can be nurtured. Given the stupidity in our procurement process.

Ideal medium term solution

But we need somethings quickly with China flexing its muscles

Infra Red guided air-to-air missile
Does DRDO have any program to develop IR guided AAMs ? I have not heard of any
IMVHO it should not be too difficult to design and make a IR AAM since we have already done a lot of work on radar guided Astra, which i believe in much more complex

Perhaps they thought Stinger was less future proof? The US Army is finally ending Stinger production in the near term, and its replacement will begin fielding by 2026. https://aviationweek.com/special-topics/air-dominance/us-army-opens-5-year-search-stinger-missile-replacement The missiles are comp...

The gas turbines for those ships can be of Russian design which is already being used in ships being constructed for Russian navy. Having said all that, i share other aspects of the criticism of the deal. That’s why Russia halted construction because Zorya halted delivery after 2014 conflict. There...

^ I don’t think VL-SRSAM will be fitted in, Barak-1 was never fitted in Delhi to my knowledge it was always covered. They will most likely will leave it as such, integrating anything with Fregat would be a challenge (integrating Barak with Fregat was challenge for INS Mysore). INS Delhi and INS Mys...

I think we should concentrate on pushing Tejas n trainer and forget about NLCA for the time being I agree on the Concentrating on Trainer, but I do not quite agree on NLCA. I believe we need to continue on both Trainer and NLCA. Continuing Testing and development on NLCA gives invaluable experience...

It's not only in the naming, ADA / HAL is also doing themselves a great disservice by sending only the AF single seater to airshows. They should be sending a twin seater AND an NLCA also along with the AF single seater. This way we'll be able to showcase how the LCA program is a comprehensive fight...

Is it necessary to counter the Chinese light tanks with a Indian light tanks ?

The largely Indian designed and developed Tejas multirole light combat aircraft (LCA) is not in the same class as the Rafale, but it is far more capable than the MiG-21s it was designed to replace.

That would hold true irrespective of the distance. I hope this secrecy and 700 km is only becoz of the K4Mk1 being tested from the Arihant for the first time and nothing else e.g. if it blew up the vessel it would be a huge setback. "If it blew the vessel" is a fear that only we who are o...

Exhaust should not be an issue. Typical exhaust temperatures for Diesel engines are around 1350F (~740C) with turbo charging. Assume Turbo consumes some of the energy (~20-30 %). Assume aviation exhaust temperatures similar to diesel. But about a foot away from the exhaust stack, the temperature dr...
