We need around 200 of these Desi UAVs in the force, So in that regard happy with MQ-9 purchase as that will set the bench mark and our forces will ask for all the bells and whistles for the platforms in the future. US has been developing and upgrading the command and controls and have a whole genera...

It is very heartening to see the HAL team both young and old, men and women and their passion and the pride that they have on the birds that they are producing. Very impressive!!

Doesn't something in you guys die when 1 billion is made ready for 6 Apaches. But no money is made available for 15 LCHs that HAL could be producing from 2 years back ? 1 Billion!!

Yeah right, you have nothing but regurgitating the silly arguments that few BJP hard core has been saying, what do you think people of AP are dumb that BJP has done so much for them and the ungrateful people did not vote for Mahan BJP?

No. Balancing licking, anti-licking, and non-licking to understand any hidden alignments after political moves in MH. So what is your take on what is going on between CBN/TDP and Amit Shah/BJP ?

Such activities are done when there is no powerful party identified with Hindus available to take advantage for the situation. Further, the era of social media etc changed the situation. Most of the parties mentioned above lost very badly once there is Hindu consolidation. The problem with AP is BJ...

The point is not what Jagan is doing, because even not-brightest-bulb could have predicted what was going to happen. The question is what are AP folks doing or going to do about this? How are they going to respond. Well people of AP had already voted, and comprehensively too = what else does anyone...

Yes would like to think of that as MK3 version around 2032 to 2035 with the same 110 KN engine, easier to maintain and possibly having all the gadgets and tech from AMCA and also potentially an unmanned, it is a bit too far for now but definitely a possibility for having 5-6 squadrons to fill up the...

Getting the timing of the visit might have been more important as a much publicized in advance and long awaited one would have invited some sort of Pak response with some terror attacks.

If India can get the GE 414 engines made locally in India, then that would be a good feat in itself, not sure if GEbwould agree to produce around 200 + 50 for AMCA engines if that is lucrative enough for a local manufacturer of engines with a possibility of producing more. Meanwhile GTRE can come up...

Jeff Immelt, the CEO of GE says, “If you could make something with 60 people in a garage, GE shouldn’t be doing it. But if you make a jet engine, there’s only like one and a half people in the world that can make a jet engine. And we are really good at that. If you want to compete with that, you’ve...

Yup because of Mig 29 and r-77 combo, TSPAF decided to skip Kargil (winning without firing a single shot, intimidation was this high) Not a rhetorical question, but that question is in my mind - why did this not work this time in Feb? Is it because PAF got the AIM120 later or Their tactics were to ...

Do not think in India any govt or private companies are at a stage to have any competition. India has to follow what US did, create a local base first. US invested in 2to 3 companies by giving TOT to make engines. HAL/DRDO/GTRE can give the existing simple engines to be manufactured by private compa...

When more than 50% of your combat fleet is flying with an American engine, how independent can India really be? It is not the sanctions that is worrisome, but the lack of independence. Lack of independence comes from continually purchasing foreign weapon systems. Be it French, Russian or American. ...

Manned stealth fighters may well be on the way out. The actual data would lead one to a totally different conclusion.

Wow ! That is amazing! Leaps ahead of competition

Sounds more like the case of once bitten twice shy, but India has been exposed to the sanctions a lot more than just engines. I think GOI does not fear the sanctions the same way anymore, but no harm in discussion. As far as engine development is concerned, we need a much comprehensive development p...

We have to get the LCA mk1 order and testing complete on time Then ir is the integration of Astra1 and 2 with LCA and other fighter jets and then getting FOC on LCA MK2 in that order, if we can achieve this in the next 6 to 7 years, then that would bring in enough numbers to keep IAF potent along wi...

Yes UN resolutions and plebiscite would be moot at that point. Also the focus should be on breaking Pakistan into smaller entities and India taking over POK, other pieces would either be independent or join other neighbors- so Pakistan as we know it would not exist. For now the policy should be to k...

Well, it will not provide a route to Afghanistan, but it will remove Pakis having a shared border with the Chinese and it surely will open up another front to threaten the illegal Chinese road in Aksai Chin.
