Indian EDITED and Russian lobby are trying to dump 3 projects into India in the name of JV being light tank read sprut, FMBT read T-xx and new IFV. These projects have found no traction anywhere else and India is convenient dumping ground. The so called concept of FMBT has fallen apart both in USA a...

Edited and reposted My discussion with some chaiwalla/person:- 1. Even with driving band, a Sabot round fired from rifled barrel will have 'some' spin which is around 5-10% of the normal spin but this spin is good. It makes the round more "accurate", helps in cleaner seperation of sabot a...

My discussion with some chaiwalla/person:- 1. Even with driving band, a Sabot fired from rifled barrel will have 'some' spin but this spin is good. It makes the round more "accurate" and less likely to bounce/glance off the target tank. 2. The rifled barrel can also fire HE round and can b...

I think Pakistan will loose around 30-40MAF water in next 20-30 years as India uses its full entitlement of water and Afghanistan also uses its share. Now this is not much loss as pakistan releases around the same amount in sea 30 MAF. Increase in water consumption due to the Population growth can b...

Lets face it. T-90 orders, with spare parts, ammo, prodn & maintenance equipment and T-72 upgradation contract will all in all constitute around US$ 20 Billion over next 20-40 years. This means around US$ 4 to 5 Billion i.e. Rs. 20,000 to 30,000 crore of slush money would be involved. No peforma...

Some of the latest tanks are Turkish, Japanese and off course Korean tank all of which have adopted Arjun style lay out which clearly shows that this design has no immediate replacement or in any case is still the only preferred design.

I meant to say:- Arjun at 57 tons is really really heavy and as per army cannot be used in attacking Pakistan. So I assume as per Army version of history the 55 ton centurions were Not used in 1971 Indo-Pak war. Also SA, UK & USA did not use 60-70 ton M60s, Chally-2s and M1s in invading Iraq. If...

I wonder why DRDO did not change guidance methods with Trishul when it was facing so much difficulty with 3 beam guidance. How has Israel got barak and Russians/Soviets got SA-8 to work?

From open sources it seems that Maitri is another Brahmos or Dhruv in which everything is foreign except the label. Speaking of label which one do you drink ? Maitri is supposed to be a JV may be on similar lines as Brahmos , Dhruv is not a JV . As for foreign content vs indigenous you need to goog...

It would be interesting to point out that Astra missile which is equivalent to earlier model AMRAAMs as a motor burn of only 4-5 secs and rest is just coast. I think that a missile can coast till its speed is above ~1.5 mach then it falls out of the sky or looses its ability to maneuver. In order to...

Re SS & Chanakya As per this thread, the eastern rivers are still discharging around 3 to 8 MAF to Pakistan due to floods (??) in monsoons(??)

Re SS You were going to give a short reply on relevance of SYL & other link canals from stopping the water going to Pakistan, pls do so when you get time.

Almost all the news items continue to talk about MRTA at 55 tons but the specs sheet shown by HAL at last Aero India talks about 68 tons MTOW. Also the engines are now speculated to be CFM or PS-90A, which would also mean that the MTOW should be around 68 tons with growth potential to about 80-90 to...

So clearly there is some turmoil in Pakistan which is not being openly admitted by the ruling elite. The longer they deny it the better.

Manportable Spike/gill series, Kornet and Javelin are around US$ 100,000 per unit. Nag is much bigger missile more in the range of Spike ER or Hellfire.
