carry on you are doing just fine.

looks like I need to put delicious things like Katrina on the table to bring out the writers !

thanks Guest for the kind offer. I walked those paths for 18 long years and in my teenage years got into the habit of 'exploring' unknown areas of the city on foot with a particular interest in the worst and most forbidding places. helped to pass the time - no internet or Doom in those days and onle...

hardcore in what sense ? PAF is not generally considered to be a islamist org so jihadi feelings would be much less than the general population. ejection is a bad experience in the best of circumstances, trying it at night over the thick forests of the meghalaya foothills is a bad idea - you could e...

Rudra

Arun_S, I shall fix these details. (3) is that the 3D GCI radar had spotted
the 2nd pair over the Jaintia hills and informed Sqdn Ldr Sid over the radio.
So he sure as hell knew about it before his own APG66 picked them up at
the fag end - right before his surrender.

if is really secret , why would *we* here know of it :) it is however known in public that indian commandoes/hostage rescue people have done courses in israel. the analysis of CopeIndia is not a real analysis since he concludes its in search mode.

lakshya PTAE-7 is a turbojet engine. the old engine was imported from germany. photo here:

at Mach3 not much scope for hard turns, will burn a lot of energy and those small wings will be hard put to assert authority.

Rudra

the E3 monitor and keyboard look very early 1980s IBM/AT&T type.

Rudra

well there you have it. Time to invest in another production line for Klub-MKI in india. every long range LACM in the world looks like the Klub structurally and conceptwise. We need further items to make it a deadly weapon and for that israel has to be roped in. - replace the radar contrast seeker m...

Rudra

why are people so insistent and attached to the Brahmos...treat it like another arrow in the quiver not the only arrow. there are other tools for each job. Klub from day1 being a economical low flyer is better suited as a LACM. Brahmos lo-lo-lo range is onlee 120km. due to small wings on brahmos it ...

Rudra

john, they are talking of using the 3M14 via torpedo tubes. Brahmos as you said can be fired from VLS, but if have another 1000km range weapon better to use that.
design wise its much easier to put another turbofan engine or bigger
fuel tank in the Klub than try to extend brahmos range I think.

If Yasen hull was launched in 1995 Russia, 1992 is too late to start work. They must have got the design work started in late 1980s. for 3M14E details its best to go by Janes I posted in AFM because - it came from russian source with photos - we already have the tech for sub launch of Klub - no sign...

Rudra

vsunder - launch means with hull and reactor. certain large machinery could also be fitted rest to be fitted later through holes in the hull. it could be completed in 3 years - 2010 followed by 1 year of sea trials. the Admiral could have been referring to the Akula lease since the optimistic 2011 I...

even if india says no to such conditions, it still means our civilian nuclear sector which needs to ramp up and contribute their share is dead in water for lack of ability to import technology and components. am I right ? the list of NSG countries from their website: Who are the current NSG particip...

Rudra

russia cant be very happy with the NSG. they stand to make a ton of money selling power plants to india and suddenly they cant under the NSG. supplying a couple of one-off items (like the initial few cryogenic engines, PWR) officially-unofficially may be their way of clipping the NSGs wings ....same...

Rudra

Sudeep, where do we produce our N-bomb materials from power reactors ? did we accept these IAEA conditions - coz I believe the reactor delivery has started ?

Rudra

whatever little is there on Yasen(Svero) class on net assigns OK-650B as the reactor of around 190MW. so that matches. I think the same core can perhaps be run at different utilizations to fit different thrust needs. So maybe he didnt have any details on the real powerplant and took his best guess a...

Rudra

OK So inspired by Merlin I believe have found a typo. the VM-5 plant is what the Akula uses and so does the charlie perhaps a older model. http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/row/rus/971.htm The main propulsion machinery consists of a VM-5 pressure water reactor with a model OK-650 b high-densit...

Rudra

Austin, yes. dont worry about the SSN/SSGN naming . the LA 688 class started at 6900 tons without VLS, later they added 8 cell TLAM vls to push it above 7000t. Virginia is 7500t, Seawolf 9000t, Akula 9000t. Having option of carrying some LAMs doesnt restrict its operational role or mobility in any f...

a guy with contacts and a EOS-1D ?

Rudra

will it be a peter steinmann type shoot with IAF laying out red carpet and squads of fighters for his lens ?

Rudra

would MLRS elements like Pinaka and Smerch make sense to attach into the IGBs or better to hold them at more strategic levels ?

How are the two Arty divisions expected to be used ... piecemeal or
concentrated with particular IBGs ?

Rudra

so the IAF leader was given a cmdr post in the raid planning group ?
british and german tornadoes were there I think, with the germans A2G.

Rudra

thats what we need to find out and who else was in the ground attack profile ? perhaps if multiple countries were contributing A2G planes the FSL post was given to India ?

well thats been the norm for decades now. they
