His comments on INSAS were useful.

One thing I don't understand is booster snag. The booster must have been repeatedly test fired on the ground and separation with inert case. So far atleast 7 successful booster test firings and separation happened. If you plot that on probability paper would give over 90% or higher probability of bo...

ramana

@Indranil. If the failure happened after 8 minutes then it won't be a booster separation issue! They didn't have to use a self-destruct mechanism. Maybe the STFE just shut off on it's own and missile glided into the sea. Maybe it veered off course so they shut it off. No one knows really. The boost...

Up.

Very prescient thread started a decade ago.

Lots of action in Sindh and the forum is missing all the events.

Strange. Could be Covid-19 related.

Yes I meant NUH.

HAL does not have own money to develop a weapons system.
GOI needs to give the money for that effort.
For example:
US model is govt gives Development contract. And that engages the forces to be part of the development team. Here we have catalog mentality

Grp Capt Hari Nair,
What ATGMs are compatible witht he El Ops D-Compass pod?

Agile development helped a lot and creative contract funding.

And that the situation is reminiscent of WWI, which Michael Howard writes about the political objects – the preservation or destruction of the Habsburg Empire, the establishment or prevention of a German hegemony in Europe, the maintenance of British maritime supremacy, and the territorial integrity...

No. They should go nuclear. NPT was for non-expansionist nuclear powers. PRC was underserving of the NWS status in NPT. It was frozen to suit superpower interests. Taiwan & Japan need to go nuclear as US treaty commitments are doubtful with experts urging Taiwan to defend itself

ramana

Philip On Twitter I had a to and fro with Luttwak the strategist.
He wants Taiwan to raise a 2 million man army to resist PRC and US can.back off their guarantees.

The SSS initiative is good.
Adds more usability to the rifles as they still have atleast 2/5 life left.

It's a whine still when our soldiers are taught yoga but Western instructors teach breathing techniques.

Any way I wrote what I felt.
Thanks.

ramana

fanne, After Covid downturn and atmanirbhar Bharat, it's going to be very difficult to justify imports when local capability exists for all three services.
So LUH will be a HAL design.
Enough subsidizing foreign makers.

Bokwas comment. If Tata is serving the nation they would never release rhat ad and by now would have dismissed him for causing 2700 crores drop in market price.

ramana

Lots of whines. Basically they want counter insurgency needs to dominate battle filed requirements. And so many anonymous sources!

And since 2019 most terrorists are shot with head wounds from pictures posted.

So tell me the DSR is not good enough.

ramana

Virendra will get the book and read.
Lots of myths around Prithviraj Chauhan.

ramana

You think the new USAF fighter plane just appeared out of no where?

Doesn't India deserve to keep its secrets or has to reveal for fanbois?

So its a good thing to acknowledge issues.

And, we do hide tests whenever it suits us.

What is pinching you?

Due to limited number of tests it gives credibility to the testing process.

So its a good thing to acknowledge issues.

.... The reason for non standard parts is evolving design?? And mfg capability. Early production parts wont be 100% ICY but some will be machined to fit as part of disposition of non-conformance.

Mk1A is incremental approach over Mk1.
To adopt the MWF approach would require total redesign of the aircraft leading to further delays and cost overruns.

tsarkar, Please look at Lt. Gen Sagat Singh actions in Goa in Operation Vijay.

My understanding too. Hence the lesser range than the turbofan version.

ramana

nam, So this Nirbhay test is with new STFE engine right?
The PTA engine version is proven.

Let them do root cause.
Engine failure is one cause.

Did Dassault ever get to root cause for the FC that led to M2K upgrade crash?

The COI concluded erroneous signals from FC which was still Dassault OEM caused the crash.

But net result is the people got detached from the triad after WWII and Korean War. And it reverted to 18th century practise. Thats the point. And by doing so they lost public support for Vietnam War. There are many volumes debating this and since then every limited war US gets a Congressional appro...

Why did PLA stick to no firearms agreement at Galwan attack and retaliation?

Can ask General Malik also.

NaMo has reduced friction between the civilians and military, brought unity of command in the military, and rekindled the national will with surgical strikes and Balakot. And economic boycott, app bans, revival of industry hit by Chinese imports also added to national will. The Galwan warriors added...
