Re: Indian Navy News & Discussion - 15 Dec 2016
There must be 3 lines for sub. Scorpene expertise must not be lost. So production line should be 1. Mazagaon, 2. Visakhapatnam, 3. private mostly L&T. There is a need for 2 additional submarine repair yards, rather than sending submarine to foreign shores for repair.

Re: 'Make in India' Single engined fighter

Actually if HAL has complete control over HJT-36 and has to use internal resources. It will avoid HAL going for every time to MOD for approval or every requirement.

10GB ethernet available over copper and fiber for a long time.
40Gb ethernet available now. mostly over fiber.
The problem was not the bandwidth over wire/fiber, but the actual transmit and receive module capability.

I feel that LCA-Mk2 is deliberately delayed, because of IAF penchant for changing mind when they see something on the horizon, specially for local product. IAF has played lot of hard ball with R&D, so I think they want to make sure they get all that is ordered and use Mk1A, still a much better p...
