Unconfirmed reports from a friendly neighbourhood paanwallah suggest that the LCA Navy Prototype could roll out in the 1st fortnight of July.

IMHO whatever else may come in the future, the LCH is a shining example of the advantages of indigenous design & development catering to indigenous needs. Which other attack helo - extant at the time of the LCH project's initiation - could claim to designed for consistent performance at >6000m? ...

Also, could you point how you were able to discern the fact that: Looks like has lot of thick hide for protection and better capacity. I mean since you've already figured this much out, can you tell us - What exactly would this "thick hide" be made of? Steel? Composites? Toilet paper? What...

The thing is, at some level people themselves need to get involved and interested. I can imagine my pucca gujju uncle sitting Baroda switching the channel as soon as the report came up, and moving to either the sports or business channels. He really couldn't care less - I mean, what's the USE? The t...

Hi-Res LUH Second This has got to be more than a mock up. Apart from the authentic looking rotors this baby has a thingummy on each side of the nose covered by a red, tailed cover. Those covers are not used on dummy sensors on mock up aircraft. 400% mock up saar, please to note the point at which t...

^^Fascinating. What else did the JASSM brochure say?

Why is 1000km overkill, especially when we face AEW-supported Su-30s armed with R-77s and SD-10s, S-300s & derivatives with 150km+ ranges as well as an immense number of Tor and Crotale derivatives providing SR-SAM cover?

It's a real pain dealing with the high-beam wallahs. Am considering mounting one of these to solve all problems:

But I have a broader and more general while about Indian media still camerapersons. They are just naive idiots. Nincompoops when it comes to selecting smart, flattering images of the forces. In Indian democrazee every baboon with zero photography skills gets access to places with things to be seen....

Jaeger

Shiv, that's a good point. However, I still think there's a lacuna in the media's self-regulatory mechanism. I don't think the Indian media cares... actually strike that - I think the media PREFERS to use images that create a stereotype of state brutality. Using your point, there could have been a l...

I was just pondering over how the naval strategies and surface combatants have evolved from Yamato class IPN BS. Those beasts were amazingly loaded but convincingly beaten by air power and submarines. What an interesting line of thought, but do educate this unwashed Abdul as to its relevance to the...

8th sounds good, but still tentative WRT timing. Has there been a decision of any sort?

Lada and Amur class subs images . The first model seems to be Amur 1650 (or Lada class) while the second seems to be Amur 950. Don't know about Brahmos VLS insert . Seems to be standard on the sub. Regards, Ashish You're right, they're both Amur's. The thing is, IMVVHO, I don't believe that the 950...

Jaeger

Just realised that the SSGN-ish one could possibly be the Amur 1950 with the BrahMos launch VLS insert.

The SSK/SSN model still beats me - could it be the Italio-Russian project - the proposed <1000t coastal sub? S1000 I think. Or it could be Malakhit's Piranya proposal... hmmm.

Jaeger

Can somebody please tell the name of this Russian submarine :oops: Thats a Kilo class sub. Don't know the type though. That is either 636 or 877ekm. Regards, Ashish Would you happen to know about the two models to the upper right of the same image? The one to the lower right looks... familiar... Ar...

However, even if one tank burns, I think that should be OK as would one tank burnt up in Georgia, what ? My contention, nothing is safe! Concrete bunkers are field artillery proof. I have seen them collapsing! Therefore, I do not believe in technicalities that are trotted out (even though they are ...

Jaeger

There are pictures of the Georgia war and Russian tank burning. To put the balance tight, may I append these pictures? With due respect RayC, only the last image that you have provided is an M1. The first 3 are in fact Humvees and the 4th isn't even a land vehicle, it's the remains of what looks li...

was the nirbhay model shown of 21" or 23" diameter? if that was the case, I would favour the theory of a tube launched SLCM for deployment on all SSK. FWIW, I was going to hit a paanwala for spitting all over my shoes when he somewhat obtusely told me that India will soon have a new reaso...

I also got a chance to check out Tata's Prima range of trucks. This line is fruit of Tata's takeover of Daewoo's commercial vehicle division. Engines range from 210hp all the way up to 560hp! Mahindra Navistar has engine options up to 700hp, but those are screwdriver tech ToT, whereas Tata OWNS the...

All in all, AE 2010 has some interesting, some mundane, and some outright hilarious displays. Case in point: DC Designs. I cannot even begin to describe the monstrosities he's wrought.

18 what?

18 dumbass DDM's to perform HALO jumps. Without 'chutes.

Truly unbelievable. His age, his knowledge, his passing. All unbelievable.

Yup. Naming no names, there are few suppliers of services or products of any kind that they don't owe serious money to. I have a feeling that there's going to be reckoning in the domestic airline space pretty soon...
