I say tie up with Germans - MTU and develop an ab initio 125-150kn engine. Budget USD 5 Billion for it. +1. Always maintained for gaining capability , beg, borrow or steal , don't care. Earlier jet engine program has not been a success and China after pumping billions are still finding it tough. If...

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...

Re: Indian Space Programme Discussion

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. While ISRO has launched 45 foreign satellite, apart from 2 all are less than 500Kgs. ISRO should work on quick 500-600 Kg, 600 Km orbit capabili...

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.
