Pratyush, my thoughts are exactly the same. Iaf still require more aircrafts to make up 45 squadrons. and those will be tejas.

Well done coast guards!!!

@maitya from your chart it is clear that basic parameters and 1st order derivatives of current kaveri and ganga are same. so i assume ganga is derivative of kaveri. in such case how will they achieve 100MW work and 88kN dry thrust while current engine does not achieve original design values of 96MW ...

i would rather say the grey assembly is the reactor. i am not sure if the green part is propeller shaft assembly but to me it seems unlikely. it should be the turbine. let me support my theory. first, if you are developing reactor, you dont need to install shaft at test location. only turbine is suf...

i am little surprised that nobody mentioned following things wrt new glide bomb: (or i am really silly.)
1. many people mentioned targeting terrorists in pak, pok etc but nobody mentioned mountains in north east is better reachable now.
2. its 1000kg so can be nuclear weapon also.

i always had a doubt regarding photos like above. cant resist talking out now. if chinese really want to keep their program secret why dont they secure their premises with concrete walls and merely plant bushes or metal wire fencing? does it cost more than 4 trillion dollars to the chinese? on my wa...

Oh I am sorry for your misunderstanding. I meant saw it live on TV.
If possible I would be happy to stand right below or at the tip of the rocket to get photos.

Right Singha. That location is very much sufficient to target china and pakistan. At least for next 10 years we dont need to target anyone else. Given that this is our first try there is nothing wrong. The author of the article is unnecessarily being negative.

I think India should start arresting or at least detain people. be it civilian or military persons under some sort of illegal trespassing rule (if there is one, good. else make new one). this would send some assertive message. we must first make it clear that it is 'indian territory' than 'disputed ...

ohh. sorry. wasnt following br from few days. must have missed the warning.

Name wise, Jatayu is still available afaik. Better for a jet fighter though.

sorry but jatayu is killed by ravana during their duel. so in that sense that name is not much appropriate.

I don't like the name if it. Neither do I think Tejas is good enough. :( I am surprised why Gandeev has never been used for anything. Or Prachanda :evil: venu sahab, looking at the size of tejas or LCH prachanda is inappropriate name for either of them. its good for c-17 or il-76 sized birds. i thi...

2 things i noted regarding today's agni 1 launch: 1. indian express article : It has a strike range of 700-900 km. I always heard/read the range 700km. 2. the hindu article: ... missile carrying a total payload mass of 1100 kg zeroed in.... till now payload was 1000kg so either earlier all figures w...

member_27164

^^ yeah. right from the days of its conception.

member_27164

nileshjr,
that may not be entirely true. yes for initial iterations one would prefer tried and tested components then change to state of the art ones. e.g agni 4,5 uses ring laser gyro where 1,2, 3(not sure about 3) dont.

Which plane is that in the middle?

member_27164

There is mistake in the article. The last line says the plane was at 36500ft and should be on recce because fighter planes dont fly at that height. Overall i dont think the plane would not have been caught on military radars. how come all air force, naval - coastal and ship borne radars fail at same...

The team size ...

Rien, your action does not makes it clear at which place strike groups would mobilize. Let me take liberty of place for following points: Place: LOC/ IB where shelling is going to take place Con 1: Mobilizing strike group at the same place where shelling is going to happen will fuel pak's lies that ...

On second thoughts.. One action 11. Direct Action (DA) day minus 1: Pakistani village attacked, 6 people beheaded by "Indian" soldiers and videos recorded. 4 hours of intense shelling to destroy houses and mosque. ISPR and TV channels including BBC and CNN given footage. 18 hours before &...

$400 million is the LIFECYCLE cost. It includes fuel and weapons for the next 35 years. @viv s, sorry but i must disagree. if we compare fuel price history of USA and india i am sure that 400 million will not be the life cycle cost for indian f-35. please refer following links for historical data o...

pure speculation: Assuming gen suhag is congressi, i suppose some settlement might have been done between modi and suhag. modi might have given some sort of warning or something. he might have said "since i am not going to stop your promotion do what i say. else i will fire you and make sure yo...
