ORCA is khayali pulao.

Until funds are sanctioned to design & develop aircraft, ORCA, TEDBF, etc are pipe dreams.

Rakesh

^^^^^^^ Yeah, given the perilous state IN sub-surface programs are currently in, parallel programs are an absolute necessity - so yes, one from east in parallel to the other from west, is a very good initiative. Betw, I think it'll be Amur-1650 and not 950 - it's not that difficult for the Russkies...

Rakesh

Are you sure these are readily available? Also do we think we have funds for such large deal? Even if we start the process of acquiring them, don't we need more fighters to provide the necessary escort of such bombers? What I am worried about is the repeat of an Air Force version of Gorshkov deal w...

@Kartik: Alpha Defence is a classic example of taking the brain out of your head and flushing it down the toilet. In all his rant about GaA vs GaN, he never once mentioned about the Tejas Mk1A having a GaA radar. He certainly knew it, but he chose to conveniently ignore that fact. Then he went into ...

This is exactly what I was telling those like Alpha Defense and others who were saying that due to Dassault's large backlog, the Navy's Rafales couldn't be delivered till 2030 or so.
