Bharat Rakshak

I don't see much issue with current RM except that her anger and anxiety paralyses her ability to answer convincingly. To be honest, if BJP comes back to power, I won't recommend any reshuffle, at least not with RM. I would rather seek Mr. Parrikar's helping hand and free him from CM's responsibili...

Looking at timelines, if we are optimistic to have 01st flight of Mk2 at the end of 2020, I see equal possibility that by end of 2023 we can have IOC and start producing MK2 from APR-2024. On the other hand Mk1 FOC production is expected to continue till end of 2021. With 8 FOC trainers, it will be ...

Rakesh sir, yes I have seen some of the rona dhonas here in BRF too while MMRCA 2 started. For me personally, Taking internal notes and memos of one person of a department and saying the whole deal went bad is akin to believing Bollywood gossip that is being said on MTv. As for the deal, CONgress a...

More than RaGa, I am amazed at BJP leadership. They are not able to stop his outright lies. It appears that for RaGa, there is just no fear for shouting lies and in-fact after recent state-wins, he must be thinking - "Wow !!! It works. It is so easy just repeat-n-repeat". There is no price...

Very curious to see final airframe of Mk2. IAF officers had suggested that design will incorporate stealth as takeaway from AMCA design, I hope we will see a far better carved out Mk2 than earlier. It should not be the case that only canards are added and we are calling it a drastic design change.

1) "the entire assembly of front fuselage assembly weighs 500 kg approximately (Structure weight)" 2) "the entire assembly of Centre fuselage assembly weighs about 900 Kg (Structure weight) approximately" 3) "the entire assembly of Rear fuselage assembly weight 400Kg (Shell ...

this is like colony gossip increasing by the day. I am all for this purchase game. Takes good amount of budget, provides a good target for us. A nation with not even 1000 mile coastal line and entire economy of less than our defense budget. This is a great way to waste money. Tathastu Is it that we...

>>FlightGlobal understands that the Tejas Mk2, which, for all intents and purposes can be considered as an all-new aircraft >>(or at least a substantially redesigned one) in the 16-17t weight class, will be ready to fly in the latter half of 2020 I think he meant 2020 s we need a couple of TDs flyi...

I just feel like banging my head on the wall. What exactly stops India from declaring Pakistan as enemy state?

What we need is confirmed orders. Tell HAL it will be 320 LCA. Whatever version is completed development, it will produced next. The production line does not stop, because a version development is beyond schedule. Upgrade older version, if need be. Requirement like IOC only 16, FOC only 16, will or...

There was time to do that, it was immediately after 2014. But now its not possible. The most important sector of GOI is barely touched in terms of reforms. I frankly feel Modi govt finds itself out of depth here completely. They have all good intentions but lack the competency and conviction to tak...

This is your wish or you know something is already on the way?

This one is interesting article dated July 2017, https://idsa.in/idsacomments/tejas-one-year-after-induction-hal_sbmaharaj_120717 It emotes same apprehensions what we have today. If this was really July 2017, there are serious questions on HAL's willingness to promote Tejas. Looking at recent trend ...

let me tell you a truth. So called "Everyone" never gets punishment. And expecting of everyone following morale principles is impractical. It is the leader who can make it or break it.

What is this babudom really is? Is RM not part of it? What role does "Minister of State for Defence" and "Defence Secretary" have? If we assume RM can be influenced by advisors, who are those really? After all who is accountable?

:) I don't think we need to lose hope on Tejas as long as there are chances of BJP coming back to power. There are lot of fishy things in and around DPSUs/MoD/Procurement teams. Honestly a lot of work needs to be done on these DPSUs than Tejas itself. Raksha Mantri ji needs a very proactive approach...

I am another wish maker like https://mobile.twitter.com/AdvaidhyaT/status/1086544330603425792, But one thing must be certain that Kaveri production contract should not go to HAL alone. Fortunately BharatForge & TASL has already started capability building in jet engine production. In-fact I stro...

I am interested to know when a contract is signed between IAF and HAL who approves expected timelines of deliverables. I am certain that HAL's agreement on timelines is must for any contract to be final. Does IAF/MoD includes any clauses which are binding on HAL which can result in penalty or deduct...

^^^ Assuming ... Though it doesn't make sense, MMRCA must be there for a reason. May be more as a strategic than to just answer depleting sqd issue. I don't know how much true it is but i read somewhere that start of MMRCA back then ensured that our neighbor is denied access to better platforms and...

I am just a curious guy following Tejas for more than a year now. What I have understood is, MoD, IAF/IA, PSUs(ADA/DRDO/HAL) have formed Chakravyuvha. We really need a strong pair of Krishna and Arjuna to break this and others might end up like Abhimanyu (Good Intent but Half Knowledge /Inability to...

My favourite pic of Tejas Combo. KH-T 2009 & KH-T 2010. I would love to see the fin as elegant as in pic of Marut miniature below. https://storage.googleapis.com/files-as.myalbum.io/photo/360/ON/Gn/ONGnfsGLBGMF.jpg Beautiful Model of Marut https://storage.googleapis.com/files-as.myalbum.io/photo...

I too strongly believe that we should go for min 03 more sq. i.e. 54-60 Rafales instead of waiting for MMRCA. Though I also want MMRCA to take its due course. Simply because it won't reflect on good ethics of our country. Regarding Rafales, I have few naive curiosities which comes from my optimistic...
