I had vowed to not post on BRF but on this momentous occasion of Tejas achieving FOC, I'm making a temporary exception. Somethings are beyond individual likes and dislikes. And this is too big a occasion and I know, BRF is the only place where I can share my happiness over it. Congratulations to all...

This cross-fire theory is BS of the highest standard. In a cross-fire, the main body of the bus would've been hit. Remember, the seats in a bus are placed at a height - you need to fire at an elevated angle to hit the windows. In a cross-fire, when the two parties are firing each other, the gun is p...

Okay. I am back. I have been reading a lot of nonsense on this thread, but did not have time to respond. Time to take down the import pasand lobby here.

The above article is typical of obfuscation which happens with respect to domestic programs. While gunning for a domestic product is a good thing, it does not help the cause when major issues are not highlighted. Because unless you know what and where are the hurdles and acknowledge them, you'll rep...

Indeed, the state of domestic automative industry lends it self to a new series of armoured vehicles to be designed and developed in India. All it will require from the army is a well conceived GSQR. More than anything else, it requires breaking the Defense PSU monopoly and penchant of MOD to award...

India needs to HOLD to present position - physically on ground and diplomatically. By simply holding its ground, inside Bhutan, India sends very strong signals: 1. We're not pushover when it comes to Chinese/PLA. When required (and given right political dispensation) we can hold Chinese to a standst...

It does. This means it is from imported-but passed off as made by BEML - stock which was part of the earlier scam.

BTW - how come no one noticed TATA POWER SED written on the truck?

QR SAM is actually what IA wanted from AKASH missile system. For known reasons, AKASH is not as mobile as what Army wanted. QR SAM will see much higher proliferation in IA as compared to AKASH.

I've often repeated this on BRF - there was a time when divisional artillery brigade had 3 x Field Regiments and 1 x Medium Regiment. Medium was M-46 or Bofors. Field was IFG. But during 90s, most of these field Regiments we're converted to medium role. Break-up of USSR made 100s of M-46 available o...

Firing tables are updated/modified for high altitude areas for each gun type. You need to know where the shell will land.

There was one report of IA working with BF on new truck mounted 105mm gun. There was even a pic of in-service IA truck being modified for the gun. This is something which might see light of the day pretty soon.

As per Twitter info, IA has already raised 1 x WSI Dhruv squadron in western India. And second squadron will be raised soon (3-4 months) in north-east. Location given is Likabali in upper Assam. A third Rudra squadron is also coming up under Northern Command soon.

So in Indian context, Anti Tank missiles need to be seen from which wing of the army will use it, what vehicle and range 1. From Tanks : T90s, Arjuns - INVARS, LAHAT 2. From IFV : BMPs presently Konkur-M but BMP upgrade talks of using KORNET. We should seriously explore using NAG in this role thoug...
