With winds of change blowing in the geopolitical front, HAL should qualify a second non-US jet engine for Tejas. There should be an alternative to GE404 and 414s.

Understand that there is embargo for Embraer ERJ 145 purchase. Does that apply to second hand/nearly new airframe of ERJ 145s from open market as well? There must be a way around and structural modifications can be done by a third party - part of aerospace MRO chain globally.

Just like the Kilo class, the Swedish Kockums Gotland class also has a reputation .... but exercises are scripted anyway

idan

Unless there is design and structural changes the improved Kilo class will have a well-known acoustic profile. Precisely the reason why Soryu class evolved to larger Taigei class with structural changes to reduce hydrodynamic noise further. Added to the fact that the new Taigei class will be entirel...

First nuclear SSN hull will be ready in the next 2 years. India is committed to spend $14 billion on this programme. Why go for old Kilo class diesel electrics? For littoral waters the existing + new Scorpene + project 75I should suffice

idan

Soryu class is very interesting as it evolves with a more efficient snorkel system. The latest Soryu boat has got rid of Stirling AIP and embraced Li-ion batteries making it even more silent. That should free up section 9 & 10 in the cutaway diagram.

Project 75I .... it is kind of sad that Saab (Blekinge class A26 Kockums) pulled out. Such a versatile platform. All OEMs will look out only for their interests. It appears that Saab felt that it was not financially feasible to invest the money into the competition, only to lose to more established...

Schinnas/Nachiket, watched about 4 episodes so far. Not too bad, but couple of comments because what was depicted is something that we, at least I gnaw my teeth on most of time, especially the discourse after 26/11. This is the period after 4 Pakis managed to enter such a high security military bas...

Keeping this alive for a long time will not help us - even preparing for a war and being in a state of preparedness means we are burning money. A live LAC means this will impose a recurring expense that will result in an exponential rise in the army’s revenue expenditure. That could be a strategy of...

J-20 is not 'stealthy' at all. The neutral experts have ratified this time and again. And stealth is the biggest hoax .... a 60s Soviet era Buk could bring down the F-117A! Neither of these comments is accurate. The J-20 is def. capable of being stealthy in specific sectors (frontal) if the canards...

Indian Army will only go offensive where it can hold land and not retreat after counter attack - therefore anti-tank mines will hold good in certain areas where we do not wish to alter the LAC ab-initio IMHO. It can slow down any PLA armoured thrust!

So now you know the quality of their stealth. We don't need radars, even our media can detect it. :) Let's not get carried away. Stealth aircraft routinely carry "Luneberg Reflectors" which are expressly for the purpose of making them non-stealthy. The idea is that your enemy should have ...

If J-20s are supposed to be stealth, how is it that mainstream media is able to detect them?

idan

The problem can be addressed very easily. For acquiring a commercial platform like Embraer, GOI instead of using it's own procurement apparatus should issue a RFQ with private players in India like Tatas, Mahindras etc to procure Embraer's and do some basic integration work together with DRDO. This ...
