Is it possible for Dassult to take up that 10% stake??

I was not privy to that info. , thank you.So you mean , we play hard with our mkis or it is number of sorties that they have to perform on behalf of the hanger queens and dwindling numbers . My guess , regular mki squadrons don't practice DACTs that often like TACDE and the engine problem is relativ...

AL-31F engine issue could be unique to MKI never came across such issue with other MK operators and there are quite a few. Su-30 MKI is supermanoueverable with the TVC nozzles, canards, FBW. Expect the flow to the engine/operating conditions to be substantially different than std Su-27/30 flight co...

For capital or tech. infusion or both ?? or it is opening door for Dassult ??

Well ravip, LASER defense is still in its infancy to be deployed in numbers . US army uses Avengers and its variants in numbers.
As regard India , we have layered defense against airborne threats , whether those are obsolete and needs replacement and in quantity is another story.

Seems they are following the USMC Aggressor Squadrons

How is Akash missile batteries deployed with Army ?? IAF can deploy it for static defense of vital installations .

Until and unless there is a parallel design and productio agency , HAL will never be competitive enough to address the present situation .

ravip ,

actually I could not find any transmitter arrays. it can be a EW asset of ARC who currently operate this base or some navigation becon and it is newly built around 2011-12.

krishnaji ,
even I am confused about the new vlf facility , may be to agument the existing one .

Gaganji, there is no VLF/ELF station in W Bengal , there is LORAN-C Mast at Diamod Harbour. And the new VLF facilty at INS Kottabomman is a VLF station . The new VLF station can transmit message to a submerged submarines at 300 bits/sec and can penetrate seawater to a depth of 8-10 meters according ...

RAF have three stages for flying Jets ,
1. Elementary Flying Training (EFT) using Tutor( Piston Driven)
2. Basic Fast Jet Training (BFJT) using Tucanos (Turboprop )
3. Advanced and weapons training using Hawks ( Jet )

No one said Arihant have problem regarding Hull construction and integration , its only our folks at SCB is cautious and powering the reactor progressively to its full potential before commencing sea trials.

About the 1980's VLF facility -Project Skylark was initiated to give Navy VLF comm. facility with US help ,akin to the Omega system of Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt , located on the northwest coast of Australia . Below are the two satellite pics of arrays of two different sites one in ...

Thanks Tushar M

yes MRAPs , thats logical . And with instances of New Delhi's indirect help for Kabul , those Vehicles will be purchased for Afgan army by India.

Yes in the 80's guess during the time of induction of INS chakra . Its a ELF ( extreme low frequency ) facility built by L&T adjacent to existing VLF facility.

Can you please substantiate about the order of Spyder SAM because there is no update of its induction with IAF .

Well we did have our own jets , Marut and Kiran , both manufactured by HAL. What production engineering went in to those , even Hals existing assembly lines for imported stuffs can shed some light about the production engineering that is going into for manufacturing Tejas. If say Hal can manufacture...

Yes its not a big deal but GOI run companies not willing to take financial risk is not digestible as we can see from AI saga , etc. Is present Tejas assembly rig setup for mk1 can not be calibrated for mk2 ?? or they going to open another mk2 assembly rig?? The design phase was and is funded by GOI ...

well it was a discovery 'inside out' episode , what I meant is, while the car was in design phase the factory needed for manufacturing the car too was being built . so by the time prototype came out they have already set the equipment needed for manufacturing the car. kinda concurrent engineering . ...

thank you admins and hello every one . well this is my 1st post , few days back watched an episode on mahindra XUV 500, from designing to manufacturing everything have been done concurrently. Although aerospace is different ball game but my question is it possible for two different entity, ADA for d...
