Hi
Not sure if this is OT

If we are talking about cost... where does it say that P75I will be cheap?
We are talking about next gen AIP, VLS and a new design. No way all this is going to be cheap

member_28722

Not gonna happen. Shias and Sunnis have well documented history of fighting each other. If it had to happen in Saudi it would have happened long time ago

member_28722

It's laughable to read all the nationalistic theories being posted, when the cold hard facts are staring in everyone's faces 1. Saudi needs us for oil 2. We need Saudi for oil and the massive remuneration that comes from gulf countties This is not going to change for next 40 years unless smart car s...

Just have to look at the various versions of the surface combatants that are being induced into the Navy. Every decade we have a new design being churned out by the same shipyards for all kinds of ships. The same will happen with the subs with time as the Kilos, HDWs retire and the Akulas go back a...

member_28722

No... he speaks sense
2 lines of conventional subs make sense when you don't have nuke boats.
We will have Scorpene, 75I, Arihant production and also facilities capable of maintaining Kilo & Akula class.
Is 75I with VLS a signal that there will be no SSN only limited SSBN?

Considering how big Brahmos is, I find it hard to see an SSK equipped with Brahmos... leave alone 16 missiles in it. Also considering the fact that LA class nuke boats carry only 12 Thawk and another 25 torpedo/harpoon mix with torpedo being majority of that , expecting an SSK to deliver close to eq...

Even Indian women think that India is horrible for women's safety but the US/UK etc are safe havens. Of course, they don't consider that in the US, they always tend to be upper middle class and live in good neighborhoods with security. If they go to East (?)

The video will do no such thing. You and I and maybe some elites in India speak this alien tongue called Brishit English. That is not the native tongue of those involved in the horrible event, neither can it be assumed that they would care for a documentary made in Brishit English. That is the case...

there is no money seen in defence budget for the rafale deal...and this budget is upto march30, 2016. so surely the deal is dead...even a first tranche signing amount would be 100s of millions of $$ to fund dassault to start the production line, order huge numbers of parts from its vendors, work on...

Of course there are... things have gone up by 10% and expected to become more expensive with rail budget actions. So increasing the tax slab to 3 or 3.5 was not a major problem. The current tax slabs are fleecing the lower income people in India. Its pretty stupid to let it continue as it is. No ind...

member_28722

^^^ That's a very risky way to do things In typically planning we cannot assume that everything will happen goody goody and plan accordingly. This budget assumes that a lot of things will positively happen. Its all good projecting an economic growth of 8% or even in double digits but we cannot and s...

member_28722

Sir, since you asked, here are my view points. My primary gripe is that the Hon FM sahab himself had created a big hue and cry on raising the slab to 5L and now he had a chance to do that and he didn't even raise it by a rupee Also since this government has spoken so much on black money, not reducin...

I stick to facts. Check on wiki (english to be neutral). Rafale payload: 9.5t Su30mki payload: 8t Rafale range: 3700km SU30MKI range: 3000km Most of Su30mki avionics dates from mid-end 90s while current rafale is around 2010 and the F3R version is around 2015. @Philip : IAF is very satisfied of Mir...

Sir, Per info on the FGFA thread, Russia will get 55 PAKFA by 2020, so if IAF can parallely also get those off the shelf, by similar timeframe with FGFA coming out post 2020, then by all means cancel Rafale
But if we do decide to go for Rafale then go in properly, not with limited numbers for Navy.

member_28722

1. The F-22's upgrades have been long delayed. That hasn't made it any less of a 5th gen aircraft, because it has remained a VLO design from Day 1. 2. The Rafale will still be in service after a decade. How do you propose retrofit VLO capability to it? The Rafale deliveries will start no earlier th...

I am not sure if the Sukhoi model is applicable to Rafale deal. From the onset this seems to be a different deal
Your 1 & 2 can be done in parallel to a better extent. If it holds then we should see 2 squadrons before turn of decade.
