The US can selectively shut off or offset the signals in any particular part of the world if they so desire. In the Indo-Pak war / context they can do so to save their Paki munnas. This is why an Indian system is important for military purposes. Don't see it being used much in the civilian context u...

I agree completely. Too many arm chair generals on this forum who think they know better than the real generals. They hide behind their computers and make ignorant and unsubstantiated comments about the armed forces. Wish some of them would get off their butts and actually serve for a year or two so...

Add to that the fact that Iran can pretty much shut down the Straits of Hormuz by targetting shipping passing through there resulting in skyrocketing shipping insurance and oil over $200 a barrel which will send the already shaky world economy into a tail spin.

Here is moron who thinks reverse engineering is the way to go. Someone who knows nothing about the chinese planes like the rest of world. Does he stop to think why no one sells to the chinese anymore?

I think IN wants Fuel Cell AIP for its indigenous line of subs in the future. Getting the Russian or German subs would give us access to the technology.

What is worse is that that IAF is now wary of using the helicopters after loosing two pilots in a crash due the cyclic saturation problem which has yet to be addressed and seems to have been swept under the carpet by HAL.

Saab still needs Uncle's permission to offer TOT for the engine and that is by no means certain. Given all the foot dragging over the LCA consultancy I wonder how much the US will allow especially if the F-18 loses.

The Chinese gave nuclear weapons to Pakistan when India didnt have a close relationship with the US. So to equate Chinese good behavior with Indian good behavior is ridiculous. As long as India doesnt become a poodle of the US (which I doubt will ever happen) I see no reason to not have a strategic ...

Kinda true, but at present, the X-band solid state tech is too challenging for a lot of countries, which is why they are still using L-bands, which makes the radar larger and more cumbersome... L-band is not really a breakthrough - it is a backup in absence of X-band tech. F22 and F35 are optimized...

Rafale F3 R$ 263 = 141 USD Gripen NG R$ 132 = 71 USD Super Hornet E/F R$ 188 = 101 USD The airforce says all three aircraft is suitable for them so it's all about a political decision now with focus on strategic plans and ToT. If I was Brazil I would go with the Grippen. 90% of the Rafale's capabil...

It stands out in the distance so visual ID is possible and feasible. That could be its weakest link in a large air-to-air engagement.

If it can outrun you and out maneuvere you, visually IDing it isnt going to be of much use.

At this stage of aeronautical development the biggest weakness is in engines. We should go with the euro engine even if it costs more as it is more modern and they are offering a lot more TOT than the americans. Not to mention that it is lighter and being nearly the same weight as the current engine...

F-22s dont use towed decoys. Wouldnt be a stealth aircraft anymore. There are accounts of F-15 pilots being able to see the F-22 visually but not seeing it on their radar screens. If an F-15 radar cannot see it there is no way a small radar on the missile would see it.

I am sure the Army's requirements are quite challenging but I also think that BAE would rather sell new guns. If the Army's requirements are challenging as BAE claims I am sceptical that OFB can meet those requirements. I hope we dont get into a situation where the Army goes with OFB's claims and fi...

I have always been of the opinion that give India the hardware and India has enough software power to "catch up". Which is why I preferred the US stuff. IMHO, IF India can get FULL ToT of hardware, that should be good enough. India can build the sofwtare part - in fact let me go out on a ...

Just about any western missile will work. My money is on the Python-5 especially as they are also shopping for a helmet to go with the missiles and we already use the Elbit helmets. Second choice would be ASRAAM.

Indigenization as a policy is well and good and it is easy for people on this forum to sit in the comfort of their homes and make that argument but if you were out there fighting and your life depended on it I am sure you would want the best weapon (irrespective of origin) to take to the fight.

Didn't the PAF buy Midas Tankers recently. I am sure this is also to send a message to Russians that if you sell to the Pukes dont expect any more business from us.

Singha saab, think of other ways. There is this thing called GAGAN that does something relevant here in terms of surveyed coordinates of launch site and target datum for BrahMos INS to do its magic.

GAGAN is GPS augmented signal. So if there is no GPS signal there is no GAGAN.

In the 90s when the russians were broke and chummy with the US they actually sold a couple of the S300 systems directly to the US. The US was trying to get a system from one of the ExSoviet states and the Russians probably figured they would sell it directlya nd make some cash in the process. The sy...

F22 is said to have an RCS of less than 0.01 sqm

Detecting an F-22 and trying to bring it down with a sensor/radar in a Air to Air missile are two different things.

I suspect it is both. Technology denial is not something that cannot be overcome given time, but there is little you can do about the Uranium deficit as long as Uncle and his cronies have an iron hold on the supply.

I am sure all of Unkils planes come equipped with transmitters. The Chinese were able to flush them out of their Presidential Boeing 747. I guess the pukes havent figured out how to track them down yet.

Dar was dismissive of Gen Musharraf’s “enlightened moderation” and said that the phrase was coined by Dr Henry Kissinger and his consultancy company had been paid $50,000 for those two words.

The Pukes must have a lot of money to pay that criminal Kissinger $50,000 for two words.
