US still denying us technology A very good article !!! Thanks Sunny. We are developing the Long Range Surface-to-Air Missile (LRSAM) in collaboration with Israel Aircraft Industries. The first flight test will happen in mid-2010. We started developing a similar missile for the IAF in late 2009. Is ...

USA has reportedly adopted this ammo and using it, so that is the verdict.

The point I am making it that this ammo may actually be the solution to Indian INSAS carbine problems.

When it is said that eastern 3 rivers have 33 MAF does that include flood waters? Also we need to store and use maximum amount of flood waters also from the eastern rivers as this "excess" flow which we may let go into Pakistan during monsoon will also help recharge ground water of terrori...

Pakistan polpulation growth may be +2% predators strikes notwithstanding and Real rate of growth may be less than 2% due to account fudging. It would slow and steady decline.

The Original budget for LCA was around US$ 100 million dollars. Pvt sector would have been idiots to take up a this big project for peanuts. Would GoI have given them US$ 2 Billion and 25 years which LCA project seems to be taking. Would the GoI tolerated delays of one decade and failure of Kaveri ...

Shiv, the 'landless revolting against the RAPE' is difficult, if not impossible. One problem, which I consider as major, is that the rural (and even most urban) population in Pakistan believe in some Pir or the other. These Pirs are the most oppressive figures who thoroughly exploit the landless di...

In fact India does not even have a single company developing & producing cell phones indegenously. Its all imported from China and elsewhere and renamed. :(( How does a country who has more mobile users than US NOT have their own R&D to produce CELL PHONES??? :x :idea: microMAX :idea: INTEX...

It seems that A400 costs, which is around half the MTOW is hitting around US$ 300 million

Il-76 present cost may be hitting around US$ 100 million and IL-476 which is supposed to near equivalent to C-17 may be in future around US$ 150 million.

So US$ 200 million for C-17 may not be far off

Why does the design of the Assault rifle have to be Indian? All we have to make sure is that we can manufacture the rifle completely in India - right down to the last screw. The design of the L1A1 SLR wasn't Indian. It seems to have served the country pretty well(and still does). Since it could be ...

A very general defence of Army tendency to love imports. And ignoring its failure to work with DRDO-OFB-PSU-Pvt sector to develop new products. We have Military + Para military + Police + Export requirements of around 2-3 million small arms but we want to import our requirements from two bit foreig...

Or is there a gold pot at the end of the rainbow? Sometimes it is institutional stupidity or inertia or just new fad called "Global RFP". Note Pistols - no new design - Imports of israeli product being pushed. 9mm Carbine - no new design - MP5 is the fad Rifle - no new design - Global RFP...

Army is definitely going to dump the INSAS, the only issue is how long will they take to do trials & select the winner. Say only hmmmmmmmmmmm 10 years........??????

re SS, how does this acreage translate "roughly" in quantity of water?

Bheem

Sridhar can you tell, how much water India can use in say (MAF) from western rivers for irrigation etc

Bheem

I think we should let some new threads be created for discussion on specific topics. Merging everything in general threads has tendency to kill discussion and turn them into news threads.

Bheem

Incidentally the new series of mtu 890 is 1/3rd the size of 870 being used by Arjun. Roughly the present engine is 3m^3 while new engines are 1m^3. This means if auto loader plus new engine is employed then the weight of Arjun MArk-2 can fall by 5 tons due to reduction in internal volume.

The MDL scorpene fiasco shows that the so called indigenous component of PSUs are also imported. This is well known fact except that jingos would hate to acknowledge it. The same can be said for almost all JVs like Brahmos, Shakti engine, SRSAM etc but no data will be released to publically

I have got confused with so much info being put by BRF members. Can somebody simplify it for laypersons like me. My understanding from above post is that :- 1. DRDO is developing MAAWS with SAAB. This MAAWS (MWS) is further being developed by integrating with LWS, RWS, and Radar etc of the Platform/...

Pakistan did not kneel. Pakistan held its ground. And I will also say this, God willing, we will talk to them and present our case because our case is strong, it is not weak. Whether it be Kashmir or water or any other issue," said Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi. Pakis don't kn...

An explanation can be given this way: For a solid fueled, the actual game of the missile will be over in few secs. To have a high Pk it has to perform tight turn/violent manoeuvers ( few secs within that few secs) to catch the manoeuvering a/c. In case of Ramjet, since it is powered continously and...

I think the learned jarnail should also tell us, in what way and manner, army interacted or helped the OFB-DRDO in developing the much needed systems. I been pointing out in lot of posts since last many years on BRF that INSAS even though a good rifle is now slightly obsolete. But it needs just a fe...

I hope MEA, MOD and INC/BJP play their roles in checking MMS and protecting Indian interests. Fast changing events in Afghania post withdrawal will bring MMS to his senses (Is he doing this because he sees PRC looming threat as highest priority with Pak as manageable for time being???).

Re SS, there was (in) famous controversy about SYL canal between Punjab and Haryana which was also meant to prevent flow of excess water into Pakistan. Can you explain the issue?

I have a feeling that inspite of all the heart burn in BRF on MMS, he may be as Chankiyan as NRao. We must remember that NRao contributions were only slowly understood. When I stand back and look at Pakistan it is burning and MMS is just giving lip service to Brotherhood. The issue is, are we hammer...
