You're definitely not a conservationist - a very long post. I think that you're trying to give a new perspective to your earlier attacks. Did anyone say that we want a 1 ton satellite to be launched by a 100 ton payload vehicle? Did anyone say that we need to discard PSLVs because they can only laun...

Makes sense while the super Netras are developed.

Csaurabh, great to see that the upstream and downstream processes are working fine. So what I gather from your post is that the ABCs are in place. I can understand that your focus on the immediate term and the shortcomings that you are facing. And in addition to your understanding, it is inferred fr...

Vivek K

I'm sure the Americans and Russians learnt ABC first. Perhaps that is why they could write the essay? Hope you can get the analogy. Without belittling or disrespecting your accomplishments and difficulties, i would suggest that with a demonstrated capability with PSLVs and GSLV seris of launchers, ...

Vivek K

Really? Glad we didn't tell that to the Americans and the Russians when they were going about developing monster rockets. No wonder we have "L"CA, "L"CH. Perhaps the reason Arjun is not getting the due orders/respect is because it is missing the "L" philosophy that is a...

What’s the latest about MK1 FOC deliveries?

Vivek K

What's up with MK1 deliveries? Any updattes?

Vivek K

Great job Prasad! Thanks.

Vivek K

A question for you AshishA'ji. Why would you want a starship capable of launching 100 tons into space and be reusable? It was a space race and US needed to win it. Winning it meant win on the cold war. For a generation that came out of WW2 and Korean war, winning the space race became a matter of n...

Remember that two can play at a game. Eastern Turkmenistan (Or Xinjiang as the Han call it) and Tibet can be used in the same vein. Hong Kong is another bomb waiting to erupt. Alliances with Vietnam and others and the Quad can be pin pricks too. So better (for Chinese) to play straight with us and l...

Vivek K

I don't understand why the Chinese had 200 tanks in the area while we're fiddling around.

Vivek K

Weight - ground pressure of Arjun is less than the tin can. In the hills Arjun would be fine once flown there and beat the cr$p of the Chinese equipment.

Vivek K

Only 118? How many T90s have been ordered?

Vivek K

Can you provide any other details - name of company, web-site etc. BRFites like to dream and this twin engined HTT-40 is unobtainium. I mean it makes sense if Indians adopt personalized air transportation like the rest of the world. I suggest that you look for a thread titled Indian Aerospace or eve...

Vivek K

Errr - this is the HTT-40 thread. Who is Anmol Yadav and how does he tie in to HTT-40? I would recommend posting elsewhere with more details rather than a cryptic one liner that only a select few would understand.

Vivek K

A country/judicial system that wants four eyewitnesses to the act of penetration in order to confirm rape dares accuse others! A country that imposes Jaziya on Hindus, Sikhs, destroys Hindu and Buddhist temples and converts Gurudwaras into mosques does not have the right to look down on others. With...

Wish this was the LCA!

Vivek K

In love! What a beauty! The LCA has spawned a nascent aviation industry!

Vivek K

We have been saying this in English for 20 years, such a simple economic principle does not need python!

Vivek K

Great if they order 118 Arjuns! Compared with the minimum size for imports this is quite low (I will leave it at that)!

Vivek K

With the poor efficacy of the Chinese vaccine, they’re fooling themselves! The vaccine will keep Covid in Pukistan!

Vivek K

Well said Admiral sir! The point is well made - there will more than a thousand (or several thousand) parts that will be stressed to infinity and beyond (to borrow a phrase) and each part has exacting standards that must be followed. So HAL needs to place orders on its suppliers and they all have de...

Vivek K

Great job LCA team! Thank you for your dogged hard work in spite of existential challenges! The nation owes you! Make us proud by conquering the skies!

Compared to the Rafale bandwagon! But IAF will hopefully decide on what is best for national security - More LCAs of course!

Vivek K

If this materializes, I bet IAF would also be tempted to buy a few. Stunning looks.

Vivek K

Trying to make it smaller so that it doesn’t take the whole page.

Vivek K

What is the earliest estimate of getting these?

Vivek K

Is this a derivative of the Mirage 4000 https://combatace.com/uploads/monthly_1 ... 938962.jpg

Vivek K

You have it wrong!

1. Pre-trials
2. Trials
3. Post trials
4. High altitude trials
5. Desert trials
6. Trials just for the heck of trials
7. Trials because we can ask for as many as we want.

Subsequently, Sikhs *were backstabbed* by the Congress leadership when Congress agreed to a partition that resulted in a loss of vast lands and properties in Punjab. Many other political promises made to Sikhs were broken, some for understandable reasons. The whole ugly scene culminated in the cyni...

Vivek K

This whole episode smacks of ulterior motivations - at ChiPak's urging. MSP is used to sell the worst possible crop to the Government. No farmer sells his crop for such a low price - only the rotten one. The government has helped farmers with thousands of incentives at the cost of industrial develop...

Om Shanti! Prayers for the departed braveheart and also for the injured pilot. God give strength to both their families.

Vivek K

Can HAL/DRDO make more prototypes quicker and have a pre-determined testing plan that the larger number of PVs could knock off quicker? Can the LCAs FCL be quickly adapted for the MK2 and will MK2 also be composite?

Vivek K

Yup! Great bowling! The Aussies only understand attack.

Vivek K

Natrajan can come up to 135 kmph, Siraj has a top speed rating of 148, Saini has a top speed rating of 152 and Shardul Thakur has recorded 145. So they have the speed.

9,10 and 11 were plain and simple scared of being hit. The only way to win this game is to use the same tactic on the Aussies.

Vivek K

Nam- the saving is the fact most of the money goes to our own economy! Add to that the learning from actually manufacturing our own design. The hours of testing with operational squadrons would bring in so many datapoints adding to the domestic knowledge base that is priceless! So this cannot be loo...

Vivek K

Seemed like the aussies bowled consistently short pitched at the body and our tail - Saini, Natarajan had no clue how to tackle this. Should India nit adopt similar tactics?

Vivek K

A lot of us want more MK1 orders as well. 83 fighters is a great order but the games to attack LCA will now start - late deliveries (perhaps caused by client requested changes), maintenance issues, spares etc. The battle is won but the war with imports still lingers. So everyone needs to do their pa...

Vivek K

India needs to shift from being a client state to a friend status. India needs to look at friendship with Nations based on national interests and not based on allowing exploitation of our defense needs. This will not happen until such time that Indian MIC is capable to deliver on requirements. Every...

Vivek K

More MK1 orders Admiral sir? Woah!! Jingo khush hua! Indranil, any update on FOC production?
