As FATF deadline approaches may be a good Yindu idea to profit from their woes.

Do you know a broker dealer that allows this? Also the problem is whoever borrows has to pay the SBP interest rate of 12%/yr.

Sometime ago I had made the same point. There was a media report that said that AMCA development was halted/slowed down while resources were allocated towards MWF. To me, the answer to this conundrum is, if ADA has the resources to do both in parallel, then they should absolutely develop both jets. ...

Maybe the IMF will do the math & realize they are throwing good money in after bad & let TSP go down the toilet unless TSP cuts military spending by 90% (which is the real problem).

They can dress it up with euphemisms like “right sizing” the military.

khan

My understanding is engines are like microchips - very hard to build cutting edge versions of these, but the cutting edge is available in the open market. The real value add comes with using these engines/microchips in the final product - i.e. the integration & customization part of it. If there...

Agree with Jay, but they need to work their “butts off”, this lack of resources for AMCA so people can work on LCA is deeply concerning.

khan

Agree with both Cy & Jay that getting the AMCA done is a necessary step. However, even most optimistically, it will not be inducted until 2030 at the earliest. In 2030 6th generation highly sophisticated stealthy Chinese UCAV’s will be working in tandem with stealth 5th generation birds & th...

Regarding lateness, I am not doing comparison to US, I am doing comparison to China.

The sub essentially. Thanks, that's great, both are Indian. I wonder what degree( if any) of foreign assistance was needed. Maybe none! It's still a bit foggy about how much Russian technical help was rendered for the Arihant. Even after a decade since it was launched. Let’s not get carried away he...

Thank you Sir for your comments, then it would make sense for the IAf to keep these aircraft in places like Srinagar, Pathankot, Awantipura, Suratgarg etc. While M-2000, Mig-29 and Su-30 MKI can do CAP, these aircraft can be on ORP readiness. Tom Coopers account makes greater sense now, PAF did not...

khan

IMO this plane is 5-10 years too late & just like LCA, it will turn out to be just as unsuitable for the realities of 2040 as the LCA is turning out to be for today’s realities. Particularly distressing to me: 1. AMCA was put on hold while people were asked to focus on LCA? Why didn’t they add m...

The key to Afghan peace lies in Porkistan and Bharat is the only country that can tie them down and eventually neutralize. The only reason Porkis could project power in Afghanistan was because of resources and stable environment guaranteed by Unkil, Saudis and Cheen. They had Unkil by the balls. Th...

Imho, taking back PoK doesnt give us anything. It does not give us access to Afghanistan, most importantly.

I thought there was a part of North West POK that touched Afghanistan?

I was actually thinking about IWT today & IMO there is no need to abrogate it for many reasons: 1. Even if India abrogated today, it would take 7-10 years to build the dams to make this effective. Might as well build first. 2. IWT takes away from Pakistan the argument that they need Cashmere for...

How much will the next tranche of Rafale cost? Even if it is say 1.5 x MKI, it might be worth it if it has 2 x capability or capability that the MKI doesn't have. IIRC, the first tranche contained a lot of one time infrastructure costs, that will be amortized over a larger number of airframes. Assu...

Cybaru wrote:It makes sense to add 36-54 more raffies and no more. This talk of 200 and all is just plain wasteful.

The point I am trying to make is, if the cost for additional Rafale is comparable to the cost of additional MKI’s, doesn’t it make sense to keep an open mind & get the better plane?

Wonder how long it will take for “Ms Marvel” to go into hiding to save herself from her honor killing family. Serious concern. Hope she goes into hiding quickly & doesn’t stick around or visit TSP after.

Also worth pointing out, that Imran Khan himself has said that he is done talking to India :rotfl: “Talks” with Pakistan are always fine, they will send some bureaucrat to have chai biscoot. To the Pakistani’s, “bilateral” talks with Modi’s India are like going into a dark room with someone who has ...

If true , For this big order to be confirmed France would have to offer something very substantial as a quid pro quo. I disagree. france does not have to offer anything substantial. any leverage that india had at the negotiating table ended when it ordered 36 planes. india is now semi stuck in a da...

40 million per plane is a more than fair price where IAF & GOI have footed the R&D bill & all HAL has to do is assembly.

How did it help?

GOI can privatize them at any time. They just need to make the decision (hope they do it soon). At the very least, now there is transparency into how much they are costing the taxpayer,

You can’t sell/privatize anything w/o a Profit/Loss statement or incorporating it into a legal entity.

IMO this could be viewed as a first step.

khan

How long will the delay be for AAR to get certified? I saw something to indirectly indicate that it was around 4 months (12 planes/year instead of 16).

To me 4 month delay to make sure 80+ LCA’s have AAR is worth it.

The era of light fighters in the IAF force mix seems to have passed, judging by IAFs actions itself. They have limited the LCA to 123 aircraft (40 Mk1, 83 Mk1A) - literally equal to the number of Bisons when the order was placed. Rest, its all MMRCA. This. The LCA was needed from the 1080’s to 2000...
