with the recent reports of India signing onto the Galileo project for $300 mil euros, what affect will that have on current GPS equipment? can they work with both signals, or will new equipment need to be brought in? Since i suspect the latter, is it possible to create a unit that can read both sign...

I don't think you can get much more of a NON-delta fighter than the F-16. Only the L159 is a better example.

bharvani, I agree with many things you say. I think that the Americans have become far too optimistic in their tactics. Their feeling of invincibility is what led to those apaches being chopped up. The attack helo will have the advantage of being able to provide quicker suppression fire, because unl...

my take on the brahmos launch The IN atm has 0 ships which have VLS systems for their missiles. The Talwar and co. which are coming soon already have the Klub advanced missile system. Thus, in the immediate future, priority will be given to a canister based launcher, which most IN guided missile shi...

the lch design is very interesting, it is the reverse of many wheeled combat helicopters, single wheel at the front, double at the back.

that per unit price of $500000 sounds quite a bit. Is that the price for the pre-production series only?

What I'm asking, is will the price come down with full scale induction?

obviously if a foreign aircraft is taken down intruding into india (and it is proven), india will be in the right, so far as the rest of the world is concerned.

davidn

the reason western armies went in for the 5.56 LMGs such as the SAW was weight, pure and simple. A fully loaded M60 could weigh as much as ~18kg. Add onto this extra ammunition weight, plus standard infantry equipment, and you have one very bogged down trooper. The 7.62mm machine guns reduce a soldi...

Quote "think that if we could get a carrier capable of carry a naval variant of the su-30mki"i know the su-30s cant fit on the gorshkov nandai I was saying that it would be great if we could buy a carrier that COULD carry them not that they should b put on the gorshkov

i too think that if we could get a carrier capable of carry a naval variant of the su-30mki that that would much outclass the mig29k as a strike and interceptor a/cbut still the mig29k is apparently a fairly formidable aircraft and if the missile hardpoints are being upped from 6 to 8 as some ppl...

on the missile question is there any truth to the speculation that the gorshkov will have the yakhont missiles on board?
