A great week for Indigenous development.

Picklu, AFAIK only the Army and Air Force are acquiring the Ka-226. Exactly my point admiral, i do not see any reason why for IAF and IA other than not getting solely dependent on French Engine. I could have understood if navy had argued in the favour of double engine for the sake of safety. But IA...

Bharadwaj

The impression one gets is that there is a commitment to the Tejas at the highest levels so let us wait a few more months and not get into glass half empty mode. They have agreed on base price which is the most critical aspect.

And now the videos....

LUH on High Altitude trials in the Himalayas

Bharadwaj

The LUH will be a true god send for our forces in the high altitude border areas. It will be far cheaper to operate than a twin engined heli but will have almost similar capabilities to the dhruv.

The latest imagery from google of Sulur brought joy to this jingo. Long have I waited to see the dart like shape showing up on satellite imagery.

Bharadwaj

Slightly ot -I have searched but no found an answer on this- is there any restriction on a retd Army chief becoming the RM?

Bharadwaj

The rhona in the usual channels is making this even more sweet.

This Ndtv seems to have very different numbers- not looking good if they are accurate. Dhoti shivering again.

Bharadwaj

CNN IBN has had the best ground reports for the last few elections and the shiver is lessening seeing them

NDTV showing NDA down 20 odd seats from last time based on leads.... Dhoti in full shiver mode

News 18 reporting the suspect(s) had targeted our high commission in Colombo earlier in the month.

Bharadwaj

A few squadrons of su-57 along with the mki upgrade may not be a bad idea...While it may not match the uber 22 it will be sufficient for dealing with solahs, updated flankers and the (J)frigate -20. If one tenth of what VIshnu Som's sources claim is true, we will need to act quickly. I also doubt if...

Bharadwaj

One understands IAf's concerns about this bird but there appears to be no long term strategy to replace the su30s while our neighbor has a large LO bird entering service. There is no doubt that the rafale plus spectra can deal with this but that is only 36 aircraft and it also does not offer some of...

Bharadwaj

There is no 6g restriction- it is 8g as Indranil has told us. The 6g was not a quote from the group captain. GC Dhankar was talking in general terms about agility being still a need. Please read the full article on the FG website which will give the context of his views on the merge. It has nothing ...

Bharadwaj

Grp Cpt Dhankar sounds like he pretty much has the Bird sussed out completely... Must be itching to have a go at some solahs and bandars

Bharadwaj

See... this is the problem when you get up at 730am after a late night... you start hallucinating. FG writing a glowing piece on tejas? I am going back to sleep.

Bharadwaj

Due apologies

Bharadwaj

Ok. I will bite this. Last time, I was clad in my freshly painted chain mail and swinging sword left and right, really expected support from capitol. It never came. I was very disappointed. My angst was totally justified. Finally, our GoI engaging paki spin-masters head on. It's about time. Actuall...

Bharadwaj

A video which captures the max rate turns at Lima very well.

The 22-23 second 360 turns appear to be faster than what the F-18 demonstrated in the same conditions.

Bharadwaj

Looks like full briefing was given to a group of media just now. GOI and IAF have moved very quickly to counter the BS but explicitly revealing that we have full signatures and radio intercepts of the episode still feels a tad more than what they may have wanted to. Why? What's important is getting...

Bharadwaj

We are being made to reveal capabilities but I guess GOI and IAF had no choice here... There is no need to reveal anything to satisfy folks on social media. Saar unfortunately this fraud narrative was picked up by more than just social media. Hence now another official IAF statement had to be made....

Surprisingly him of the mustache fame is out front in the efforts to question the validity of this article.... Has made a series of valid queries.

That so called top class equipment becomes a dud when the SD and Pentagon deep state favor the Porkis in a all out conflict.

Bharadwaj

If we continue to buy Khan defense equipment after this.... We are the biggest fools on the planet.

Bharadwaj

The combination of low rcs, agility and solid sensor setup means the bird would have caused hell to the solahs on FEB 27(iam not questioning the bisons suitability). The IAF has its reasons to wait till next year but the sooner one squadron is based near the porkis the better it is.

IAF should hire this person to do a full promo video on the Tejas.

^^ Yes, performance at AI has always been a little bit on the cautious side. Tejas did superbly even during Bahrain were as on our skies, its displays are good but lacks energy as you put it.

Aree sirjis DDM ko choddo....

Bharadwaj

The f16 is said to have taken shots from 40-50km... even if the sukhois had the r27 instead of the r77 they could have fired back. Even the mirages were said to be locked on and did not retaliate. Perhaps the cap were only cleared for wvr and equipped only for that?

Bharadwaj

After reading the IAF release from yesterday lets just say I am no longer that averse anymore to the choice of certain equipment on the tejas mk1a. Ok I will shut up now before i get banned.
