Would it be a good idea to combine the Rustom project with the unmanned Tejas ? I don't see what an unmanned Tejas can do that a UCAV like Rustom can't. This might help make more funds available to the project as then we will be funding 1 instead of 2. Not at all! The Rustom can't fly and fight in ...

the Navic has about 7 to 8 sats, how many satellites do you need to get a similar accuracy on a global scale ? .. the Navic seems to offer much higher accuracy than GPS or GLONASS for the subcontinent.

frankly, i think given the circumstances a CAATSA sanction on India would be good for the country in the long run

Putting one more zero to the "number" of Indian nukes might be a "little" more accurate ..there is more and enough material for thousands of nukes but India is a responsible nuclear power, no need to scare the shit out the neighbors musharaffs

I am trying to include some discussions pertinent to the acronyms that the US seems so intent to push into India. The interesting one is the COMCASA and the level of intrusion this can do into Indian military communications and sensor platforms including BMD and early warning systems

US has pathological hatred for Russia. Its sickening. They are trying to destroy the Russian mil-industrial complex via CAATSA type laws. If successful, that will leave US as the sole power with superior technology weapons. China is not there and will likely take another 50 years. Europeans have se...

One has to think at this juncture that the one country that stands to profit the most from a conflict / standoff between India and China is the US .. they have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

India definitely needs to play down it's arms deals with the Americans..maybe some token numbers .Definitely no large scale purchases like the F35 OR F16 . No to the F18 for IN as well. I used to support this option but no longer.

I feel the CAATSA for India is more like the Pressler amendment for Pakistan .. we know you do but just in case ... tighten screws once in a while.. not now..but definitely later

Nothing wrong with buying blueprints. It was actually very smart. Why rebuild the wheel? What is important is that we acquired the technology and became self sufficient.

The combination of all 3 attributes makes the S-400 a very hard nut to crack and also, very valuable to any AF.
