That was nice of you Kaps..

Nice pics rahulm.. would try to dig out more about these from the specs perspective.. the order from MHA is going to be big..

Himanshu

George.. I had seen that pic.. it had the HAL hangar doors as the backdrop.. 29 was having 77 on the rails..

Himanshu

I can put an AESA on a Cessna and arm it with AMRAAM.. will it win.. I can put an AESA on an MKI and arm it with R-73... will it win.. I can put an AESA on an F-15 and arm it with Aim-9X will it win.. There would be hundreds of scenario where one or the other would have the upper hand.. you have to ...

Himanshu

bhavik, It would depend on the kind of aircraft you are employing in the theater of operations.. If you have a dedicated CAP, you would hardly find any dual seater aircraft (ex: mig-29's) or CAS (ex: Mig-27's).. In such scenarios it's always 1:1 ratio between the pilot and aircraft.. but when you go...

Himanshu

Because.. pilots fly to practice for war.. and technically a pilot can fly an aircraft alone in a 2 seater.. but the training value would be much less without the wizzo.. I war time it's not an aircraft that fights, but a flying weapon system with 2 pilots sharing and managing the capabilities of th...

Never laughed so hard at any BRF post..

Bhavani.. Please go a little deeper into the purchase of C-17s.. link it to 330MRTT shortlisting.. if you can read the lines from the strategic perspective.. again C-17 can do everything that 76 can do in addition to it's strategic capabilities.. and it can do all this in a much better manner with l...

AND btw.. Rafael is not the primary earner for Dassault. Those guys have been seeing more money in Civil for quite some time and their main focus is in Civil than Military jets. It's a very good aircraft no doubt but I am not very sure of the further upgrade commitment from the French forces as well...

Himanshu

Sumeet.. our PHALCON chapati has way more capabilities than what's known out in open about it.. IAF and IAI(?) have spent real time in developing, integrating the systems that they felt were most appropriate based on their experiences.. We would come to know of it's near actual capabilities when new...

Himanshu

Sum..
What do you want him to say.. that we know about all of their capabilities.. all these are nothing but planted news.. and we have become quite expert in planting news that spreads confusion..

Just saw Shiv's reply.. most apt description.. I would say..

Himanshu

Escorts are provided more as a welcome then for any other value.. remember that when Air India got it's first 777's they were escorted by the MKI's.. and since all the flying IAF Military jets are received at Jamnagar AFB first the base just sent the aircrafts that are based out there.. the 29's and...

Maz.. Any new updates about INS Kadamba (Seabird) or ENC base at Rambili.. the topography is quite good at Karwar.. but lot of dredging would be required at Rambili....

Himanshu

I wait for the day when Iran would do a test.. it would be real fun watching stock markets that time.. as far as No Ko, it's not going to be taken sooo seriously ... even CNN is treating it as a passing news..

Himanshu

RIP. One question to Guru's. I always see that after every accident some enquiry is being ordered. What really happens next ? does the learnings of root cause analysis transpires in to a real CORRECTIVE & PREVENTIVE ACTIONS and implementation of changes in aircraft manitenance and safety protoc...

CG etc at various altitude and weather conditions.. for these two aircrafts.. Gosh, Armchair Marshals !. ..... I know you talked about CG and not weight . But think of it, when you travel from Chennai to Bangalore, will say your arms /legs grow longer/shorter , something happens to your weight dist...

Himanshu

Nitin.. all these figures are fine.. but what would also matter is how much DRAG each frame is producing.. and honestly we do not know about the aerodynamic behavior of airframe and CG etc at various altitude and weather conditions.. for these two aircrafts..

Launcher Rail/Adapter is Russian

Himanshu

You are not alone with these doubts.. I am still grappling with the fact that if you have to corner the guys one has to go 3D way.. Top-> Down Bottom->Up entering the buildings from the widows through the middle floors etc.. I personally don't know what was the limitations under which NSG was operat...

Got this in mail just now---- "Terror has struck again, 100s lost their lives, millions wounded:not just physically but also psychologically. So what can we do to prevent such mayhem ? Remember it is we who control our national security and not someone reposed matrimonially in the seats of powe...

Himanshu

Kiran.. For the HR in hostile territory.. Para/MARCOS would provide the cover while NSG would conduct the operation.. In case of the HR situation on ship/oil rig etc.. it would fall completely with MARCOS.. but remember HR is still not the forte of MARCOS in urban CQB environment.. Ajay.. MARCOS as ...

Himanshu

If this is in the conflict zone like J&K/North East.. it would be majorly tasked to Paras/RR battalions.. if it's in places other then these conflict zones then NSG would enter with support from Police authorities .. NSG comes under the home ministry ..

Himanshu

MARCOS were primarily for perimeter security and holding out the terrorists till NSG arrive.. Rescuing the hostages in urban CQB is not what MARCOS specialize in.. ALSO.. MARCOS and NSG cannot work together in such situations as there are communication/signal issues and operational doctrinal conflic...

Reminds me of BR Survey 1) Where do you see BR heading in the future? Or rather where do you think BR should lead in the future? 2) In what areas (Army, Monitor, Bookstore, etc) and in what kinds of service (website updates, forum administration, etc) do we need to improve upon? 3) Do you believe th...
