Re: Indian Military Aviation- September 29 2013
Too much spin affecting the CEP. They tried fixing the excessive spin with a free rotating tail but that didn't work out. Thankfully we already had the Garuda (most likely NG-LGB) and Garuthma family of bombs in works. So we could not fix the thing in hand but then moved on to something more advanc...

while the cryo, semi-cryo , ULV prorgrams are fine and should be concluded ASAP , I think there is one opportunity that ISRO could exploit in a better way.

Re: LCA Tejas: News and Discussions
one thing is for sure , LCA prg. failure(though it will not) will be a bigger setback to the overall planning of IAF than IN.
Tejas urgency for IAF is same as Scorpene (though imported, TOT prd. ) urgency for IN and not NLCA.
Most of the IN Mig 29 K are still at INS Hansa
