Why historically we never relied on Russian launcher for GSAT launch and gravitated towards Ariane launchers?

ISRO has amazing stuff with very limited budget compared to other space agencies. However I hope we don't sacrifice innovation and efficiency using low labor cost as an arbitrage like what we have done for IT

Were the ejection seats still on the plane or not?

Generally if the news is bad which I hope is not.. they will wait till they notify next to the kin before releasing it to press

Imagine this situation during hostilities. I'm very disappointed by IAF's search and rescue capabilities. Every few years it shows how investments in building this capability have not achieved anything. There had been many instances where planes have disappeared out of thin air in so called more &q...

Only the first 20 seconds is of a propelled weapon. All subsequent explosions seem to be of ballistic projectiles.

Any idea what the first weapon is?

Looks like anti-tank missile

Do they build these dummy missiles for foundational design, wind-tunnel and aero-dynamics testing? I went to their site and saw pictures of quite a few Akash dummies....

I had the same question. Good to know the process. Thanks !! Now when they are raised back again-- how do they get the human resources back i.e pilots, technicians etc.?

Can't they just be mothballed if their operating cost is too high? Also after retirement given their size will they be just scrapped?

A very basic question.. Are these probe pluggable (for lack of better words) means based on mission profiles..we can remove them? Or are they hardwired (Again for lack of better words)

Prithwiraj

very informative post by Shiv sir ... thanks ....

I am pretty sure the load masters have taken precautions but it seems our jugaad way of doing things. I am pretty sure there are other ways to carry fuel than just loading the whole tanker inside a heavy lifter. I might be wrong.

IAF C-17 carried fully loaded diesel tankers to Imphal due to blockage of roads (Bad weather). Is this even a safe practice to carry literally a live bomb in such an expensive aircraft?

What was the purpose of Dhanush (Naval Version) of Prithvi? Surely it was a never intended to be an operational platform but more of an experimental platform. Question is what we got by multiple Dhanush test even fairly recently?
