Dear Admiral Should the question be ? What is there that needs saving by Arjun ? Khalsa sirji, The irony is that after foisting on us their tank philosophy they have embraced more modern concepts that are seen in Western tanks. The autonomous turret in the T14 affords better crew survivability and ...

First of all the BlackJacks and Bears are slow and lumbering. What was the premise for both of these aircraft ? Lets dig and suppose a bit shall we Both actually were supposed to be superior at sea where the Soviet Navy was not. I do not believe they will do well at all in a theatre that is jam pack...

Khalsa

The funny thing is both of you agree that Marshal Filipov drags and brags about his Russian wares.
Both of you agree that Bears and Blackjacks had merits and are perhaps not the hottest piece of slice you need right now.

The 3rd Infantry Div in Leh before 1995 (with 28 de-inducted into the Valley) used to necessitate 3 X IL-76 flights (min) + 5 X An-32 + 2 X An-12s every winter day to keep the souls fed and warm. Siachen was fed via Thoise airfield and used to suck up an equivalent amount of flights. Now post Kargil...

I am so happy for this to happen (Sig purchase). This should hopefully kill the AK 203 JV.
I just hope we have a clear desi rifle contender like the Light Utility Helicopter against the the Russian JV.

What India has learnt from the Tejas program (~35 aircraft to date) is far more valuable than license producing the hundreds of MiG-21s, MiG-27s, Su-30MKIs and Jaguars. How could Mk1, Mk1A, Mk2, TEDBF, ORCA, TEJEX exist if there was no Tejas TD (Technology Demonstrator)? We SDRE Indians obviously c...
