This is an excellent article. Wish our babooze and import pasand generals could show this kind of out-of-box thinking. I am just hoping this ignites a spark in some designer's brain. Our problems have become too large to be solved by conventional approach. Western air forces may be relying on conve...

Let me add one more Use Case and a current critical capability gap. e) Electronic Warfare: AURA EW. I think we badly need dedicated EW bird with both offensive & defensive capabilities. a stealthy platform might be a wasted in a EW role, since EW activity is by definition not stealthy. Also, mk...

Rahul M

Yes, I know that we have a 'design your own UAV' thread. This is not that. :wink: TL;DR version :- We need more tankers, by yesterday. We also need more ELINT/SIGINT and strike aircraft, preferably stealthy, but we will come to that discussion. An unmanned, twin-engined, flying-wing, stealthy aircra...

Back in the day we used to have a towels thread. Now there are dedicated baki youtubers capturing towels on a daily basis.
How times change.

Rahul M

which subject ?

Rahul M

Thanks for the detailed insight Amber Ma'am. What a day ! I remember buying this India Today issue back in 2000 with a mixture of shock and disbelief. Could it be really true that India will go to the moon as early as 2010 ? Felt like the stuff of SciFi futurists keep predicting that never happens. ...

Rahul M

thanks to both of you for the lucid explanation. this is good to know.

looks like DRDO is testing out a range of propulsion options before selecting one for the future. signs of a maturing industrial base.

Rahul M

Rakesh, do we know if the new scorpenes will have the DRDO AIP plug or not ?

sale to whom ?

Rahul M

This will probably be our JF17 equivalent for Exports. There is a huge market for cheap, low cost medium range aircraft. HAL chief clearly says that it will be an all metal aircraft. Probably Digital FBW with 2 Analog channel Backups. A potential Mig21 for the 2030s. 2 seat trainer and single seat ...

Karan, this needs to be posted in every relevant thread. Unfortunately getting very difficult to justify the apathy in decision making.

The largest number of internal migrants for work come from WB, more than even UP and Bihar due lack of Job Opportunities in WB, lock downs had a huge impact 20% of WB population, Modi got the blame for 2020 Lockdowns which had a huge impact on WB electilons seriously, this is utter nonsense. :roll:

can't help but wonder if this is all a dog and pony show to prove taliban is independent of Pak.

Rahul M

fanne ji, yes this govt has done a much better job at doing more with less, but it has a fundamental tendency of holding back on spending. this results in 'drip funding' of projects that require torrential funding. both in defence and elsewhere. Wont go into details but that's been the case unfortun...

Going against their earlier tall claims, the Block III Junk Fighter does not have: IRST, Air to Air refueling capability and from the size of the Radome - No Aesa too :rotfl: Problem for us is, even without any of that this is still a huge upgrade for the PAF over what they would be replacing - F-7...

Rahul M

Indranil: is the reason for the smaller radome in MK2 to reduce aerodynamic drag that you mentioned in your Twitter thread? Otherwise, why not have a larger radome (or at least the same size as Mk1) with a more powerful Uttam? Would you happen to know the radome size of MK2 vs Gripen-E by any chanc...

What posters dont get to see but mods do is the full history of unacceptable posts by a member, and belive me some of it is glorious, as n^3 would say. :D so, sometimes you might feel someone has been banned for some minor issue but it's likely the last straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. ...

Rahul M

excellent news !

Rahul M

someone please get in touch with Navy and let them know that their new ship has a nonsense name, there's no such word in sanskrit.
the meaning given in media reports 'protector shield' is wrong and based on on 2 bit online baby naming sites that push arabic/persian names as sanskrit.

Bengalis escape the consequences of their foolishness in voting for anti-Hindu forces by taking the first train out of Bengal to look for a job in a BJP-ruled state.

i hope we hold onto the series lead. Then for the first time we can say the Ashes is contested between two teams who already lost at home to India.

Suraj, thanks a lot for those posts on the cycling revolution (no pun intended) in India. I hope they adopt the best practices system wide so that we start creating the next gen now itself. Very heartening performance from the paralympians too. Interestingly, I found out that https://en.wikipedia.or...

Rahul M

I would rather have Ashwin instead of Rahane, has a avg 12 less than Rahane's 39 but more than makes up with his bowling. Also, batting is covered between jadeja, him and thakur.
