Hopefully Iran will also retaliate to grind from western front.

Sid

My 2 cents, Khan is involved in this (somehow), and India bought both Khan/Bear in confidence before hitting Porkiland.

Panda/SA will not take their pawn/investment to be raped in plain sight.

We should not focus on Porkis, but on Panda/SA as pressure will come from there.

NDTV reporting IAF used standoff weapons, reaching targets as far as 100KM away. As per their sources Mirages necessary did not go too deep into PoK.

Sid

This is moment of reckoning, and next one week is a challenging time for India. . Watch out for China, and Islamic Coalition.

P.S. ISPR claiming IAF released their payload in open area causing no damage, already in denial mode.

Sid

We should also factor in Porki allies, as they have a history of supporting it during wartime. Unlike 1999 war, lines are very well drawn now IMHO. 1. China, can provide large enough unit of fighter (J-7) to replenish PAF depleting numbers during war. They can also provide Radars/artillery/MRLS unit...

Naval Dhruv is a beauty. I thought folding/unfolding was manual, but HAL really did some magic here by automating it. Indian Helicopter manufacturing has really really matured.

Fantastic achievement.

RIP Wing Cdr Sahil Gandhi, sincere condolences..

god I hate this thread.

Questions for Aeroindia When will we see Astra on Tejas? When/If rocket pods, air to surface missiles & standoff mutation will be integrated on Tejas? When will Brahmos NG testing start? Will QRSAM have a navy version? https://twitter.com/ReviewVayu/status/1097842831626883072 We are missing a b...

Biggest problem I observed was blatant access to Porki media in this region. All shorts of Porki propaganda media should be blocked in that region, TV/Radio/Cell/etc etc. Although our news will say 4 pigs killed, news in valley will propagate like soldiers killed 4 innocent toddlers. Control the inf...

^^although answers will be inflammatory, and emotional, this is no time to look inside and blame all muslims, and Kashmiris.

Lets avoid such flame baits.

Indians do not have the appetite for body bags any more, our soldiers lives matters. I was all for restraint earlier but ****** this shit. Just raze that bloody place down.

Nation is collectively observing 5 stages of grief, and this is the most constructive place to express it. Twitter is complete gutter. What this generation is feeling now will shape our society in coming decades. Having said that War/retaliation will only hurt us, they need the same treatment of 100...

^^Why our troops must travel in these bubbles on our own land? We are not in Iraq, or Syria. We should not be living this way. This time let’s track who did it, and neutralize them very specially, and publicize it. Show how rule of law works. Plus seal complete border, and kick out all porkies from ...

It may also be the first Indian SSBN pic with a open missile silo hatch. That white blip is a silo hatch.

But this ASRAAM deal may be intended for fleet wide replacement, probably a standard SRAAM for next 3 decades. That’s a huge deal. Basically it “may” replace MICA IR, R-73, and R-60. MICA is a recent purchase, not sure if R-60 is still in use. After Astra why take a step back and screw ourself on su...

Let’s be realistic about this whole situation, 1) There is rampant Visa abuse, from B1/L1/H1/EB5 etc etc...and everyone knows about it. These are loopholes... and again known to every immigration lawyer in US. 2) Lot of folks will do anything to hold on to their status in US, I knew a guy from workp...

thats what we did with astra, using a agat seeker and some ideas initially from matra530 chassis before redesigning into the current leaner chassis losing the midbody fins. akash took off from SA6. That's more of an INSAS type approach, where we pick and choose best from all systems we already have...

Sid

With such a huge requirements, we should have been developing our own ASRAAM. How difficult is Close combat missile to develop when we have Astra. Problem is that we will require our V 1.0 of SRAAM to be more advanced than R-73, or ASRAAM, or AIM-9x. And we will keep on chasing a ghost which will n...

RIP brave souls.

When I noticed Mirage crashed I thought pilots must have made it. What a sad day.

Sid

Chola, that is semantics. There is no scenario in which Pakistan will come out on top - even in the afterlife - in the event of a nuclear exchange with India. Yes, TSP cannot come out on top. But that’s not the point. The threat is that it will go nuclear at any invasion of sacred Paki territory. T...

This happened in Rajasthan, Jaisalmer/Bikaner area IIRC. The story I vaguely remember is an entire convoy with mines blew up with that many casualties one single incident. I could be wrong though.. The treatment of the story was rather strange even at that time. It was a one column news item buried...

Why is the side bay of j20 closed a wvr missile bolted outside F-22 uses quick open-extend-fire-retract-close sequence. Bays remain open during WVR for lock-on. Probably too complicated, and unnecessary. Instead J-20 just hang it outside in ready to fire mode when necessary, else its retracted for ...

Just capture, and make an example out of them. Paki army cannot take it when their officers are taken.

It’s all psyops. If they can go this far, show them what a psycho can do.

Sid

IAF may go back to three stage trainer program if they have good IJT to buy. HAL can anyway try sell it outside. But whats happening to HTT-40..? It should have had certification almost done by now. I don't know about HTT-40. I don't know about the plans for IJT either. In addition to what you said...

Does HJT even have a use case for IAF? Best course will be to go China route and incorporate AJT tech into HJT.

Sid

Both parties have same weapon type, same armor level, everything same. Pure psyops photo shoot.

A more imposing shot would have been where Indian troops had no combat load, while porkies still in full gear.

Sid

I think the major components driving cost up are 1. AESA radar 2. HMDS 3. Python, Derby AAM 4. Litening 2 Pod 5. External EW pod #1 to #5 itself will be above 10-20 million mark. From the list except for 1 & 5 all others are already existing Aren't weapons and pods purchased by IAF directly und...

I think they are trying to absorb LCA-1A development cost in these 84 units. That will include integration cost for new radar, with all the above mentioned items. Usually higher order will lowers the per unit cost. So if LCA 1A base cost is “assumed” to be ~$40 million per unit, then it’s developmen...

Sid

I think the major components driving cost up are

1. AESA radar
2. HMDS
3. Python, Derby AAM
4. Listening 2 Pod
5. External EW pod

#1 to #5 itself will be above 10-20 million mark.

Sorry, I collated details from the lengthy piece.A 2018 issue.

I repeat,taking a holistic view of our strategy against China,building up our patchy infrastructure on the LAC is the highest priority for the GOI.But only 25% officially has been completed due to lack of heavy eqpt. for road/bridge/infra building. These can only be lifted to the desired locations ...

^^ wow, I keep on confusing Pralay SRBM with Prahar SSM. Pralay’s range seems conservative for the reduced load. It’s schematics are exactly like Shaurya, technically a ground launched Shaurya (minus its booster, or cap). Probably will use similar canister for launch. It’s range with reduced load wi...

We have to buy it, else they will sell S-400 to Porkies. Ironically Porkies will get old gen HQ-9s the day we will get first shipments of S-400.

It’s a zero sum game for big boys, but a big loss for us.

Not sure how S-400 will ever integrate with our current BMD, or even national AD network.
