What is the above post? Why is this here? How is it useful? :?: :?: :?: It is useful because Modiji is sending a message that he cares more about his own people and his domestic priorities. He is not available at a superpower’s beck and call, unlike some other ‘leaders’ in the neighborhood who are ...

In India, even if the police cordon off an area, the crowds will hang around the periphery transmitting videos of what the police are doing. Pretty soon the local journalists will show up and set up their video vans.
No way you can hide a plane crash in or near any village in India.

NDTV is reporting that the GOI has directed Indigo Airlines to terminate its wet lease of 2 aircraft (flying Delhi-Istanbul and Mumbai-Istanbul) with Turkish Airlines. They have been given a 'final grace period' of two months, so that the pasengers with already booked tickets don't get inconvenience...

Lot of YouTube channels reporting India has finalized a deal for SU-57, and that 5 of these aircraft have already arrived in India. I am not going to post any links. Since no one on BRF has reported it yet, so I know it is fake news. But why suddenly this rumour is popping up on so many channels? An...

I think that the biggest pro-India lobby in the US is the US business lobby. They know they can make money in India by participating in India’s growth story. They also know that Pakistan is a basket case and a sinkhole for anyone who invests money there. The more US companies invest in India, the st...

Revoke the MFN status of Turkey on national security grounds. Ban Turkish citizens from serving as crew members on any domestic flights in India. Ban Turkish Airlines from landing or taking off from India. Indigo should find a new partner, and build a new hub, in a country friendly towards India. Ma...

The big takeaway for me from Op Sindoor is that India must plan to fight its future wars with indigenous weapons only. The Cost/ Benefit ratio of imported equipment is too high. Numbers matter, both for offense and defense; and the only way to afford sufficient numbers is through 'Make in India'. Tw...

Folks, do not engage sohamn, he is under watch for now. Kakkaji, you are senior poster, desist from same track. IAF pilots are not known to park their craft in POK after an operation and walk back to Indian side. So don’t speculate like that and certainly don’t engage with my post too. Move on. We ...

It has been over a month since GE delivered the first engine for Mk1A. April has come and gone, but where is the first Mk1A for the IAF?

BD has about the same rate of consanguineous marriages as some states South India. National Family Health Survey-4 (2015-16) So what is the rate for Bangladesh? Whatever that rate is, the proper comparison will be with the rate in West Bengal, not the states in the South. I would bet that the rate ...

Chenab river to Ranjit Sagar Lake on Ranjit Sagar Dam (on River Ravi) is only few Km's above and thus at least water of Chenab can be easily diverted.

Thanks Admiral!

I fail to understand how the 114 Rafale deal under MRCA makes sense at this time. By the time the first units start arriving, the neighborhood will be awash in 5th gen fighters. On the face of it, the reported offer by the Russians for SU-57 production in India makes more sense. Quicker start of pro...

As for using the AL-31 for HLFT-42, I thought we don't use a Russian engine in a single engine fighter.

Rumor is that it is Mota Bhai behind Shinde, egging him on so that Fadnavis can be cut down to size.

Question for the Gurus:

If India decides to buy the SU-57, how will it pay the Russians for it? The US will not allow payment in dollars, and I don't think the Russians will accept Indian Rupees for such a large amount.

When and where was the Sig 716 'field-proven'?

I have never heard of any major army, other than India's, equipping its infantry with this rifle. Where has it been used in combat?

It doesn’t make sense to me why the US will involve itself in installing a hard-line Islamic government. To me, it seems like a China-Pakistan conspiracy

I was surprised about how little testing was done for Mk1A compared to the foc version.
Was it the assumption that since EL2032 had been working on Mk1, and the EL2052 was working on the Jaguars, hence the EL2052 will work effortlessly on Mk1A?

Kakkaji

India Defence Updates is reporting that there is a significant issue with the EL-2052 radar that has put another question mark on Mk1A deliveries. Can someone post that clip because I can’t post it right now? TIA

Question for Gurus:

If the Kaveri engine has already achieved a thrust of 73kN, then why can't a twin-engine ORCA be designed using 2 Kaveri engines? Will the thrust on that aircraft not match or exceed the Rafale's?

So if they wanted, IA could have ordered and inducted LUH without the auto-pilot by specifying a operational ceiling, while the auto-pilot gets qualified!

I was skeptical about the Sig purchase. They rushed it through in a few months under the fast-track program, buying a rifle that, to my knowledge, no major army has purchased. OTOH the army subjected the INSAS Mk1C to rigorous tests over more than a year, and then rejected it. The Ishapore and Trich...

With the large numbers of planned LCA inductions, the demand for these 2 seaters in trainer role itself will be very high.

In Gen Shankar's video, he said the towed guns are lighter and cheaper, and that mounted gun systems are too heavy to be deployed in the mountains. But then, wouldn't the towed gun + the truck that tows it, together end up being as heavy (and somewhat unwieldy compared to MGS) to drive in the mounta...
