As of now i dont think it will be proper on my part to talk about it publicly.
But when i am a part of this forum,i wanted to share this news with u guys otherwise all these days i wanted to keep this info with me.This carries lots of importance.

pkudva

Guys, i am very happy to see the interest guys are showing in this form regarding the launching of the ATV and being a part of this programme i can only say that you will finally get to hear good news soon.

Nothing much.Enjoy and continue the discussion.

pkudva

Now as we will have a stable govt at the centre, we all have to hope all the pending deals will be signed and even pending order for phalcon will be signed at the earliest.

pkudva

India has Harpy-1 na,to the best of my knowledge though not in official records.

pkudva

In between the naval discussion, i see no one is talking about the ATV programme. Any news as it was supposed to be commissioned in Apr/May-09.

pkudva

Some reports also suggest that China had aquired 4 No's of A-50 Breivev Aircraft from Russia.These are unconfirmed reports.

pkudva

The presence of Larsen & Toubro has greater impact on the defence field as well. As a result these collaboration will help L&T to largely paricipate in building Nuclear reactors that are required for defence field as well.

pkudva

It has been informed as Prithvi-2,but when it becomes to defence you never know. The actual details will never be revealed in detail.

pkudva

I understand the deal has already been signed for P-8I on Jan 1-09. The Govt can still sign deals. The elections are not a cap on the functuning of the Govt as decisions have to be taken upto 30.3.09 so there is still time and lots of work can be completed before the closure of fiscal 2008-09.

pkudva

I still believe confidentiality should be maintained in all these projects,reports will always come. Even if Phalcon comes in May-09 it should not be an issue. On the case that some of them had seen it in Agra,it might have come for training for may be formal induction wherein we might have raised c...

pkudva

I liked the Indian AWAC on the EMB-145,just waiting it to fly looks an awesome a/c.

pkudva

Its time when we need to license to the private shipyards to manufacture the Naval Ships, i mean there are so many private contractors for the ATV Project and hence we can take it as an example and extend the same to the construction of the warships also. The PSU are overloaded and hence the load ha...

pkudva

I feel all the missile tests whould be kept confidential, so that we dont come to wrong conclusions.Isnt it??

pkudva

Bangalore Local news says, the test has been postponed due to technical reasons. Is it an strategy because recently i read Mr Pillai saying that the missile was ready for testing.

pkudva

Smerch has already been inducted into the army. the Additional Batteries of the MBRL is being inducted in an phased manner.

pkudva

Guys,no one commented on the interim budget. The defence Budget is huge absolutely in terms of the size and i was quiet surprised to know that last year revised budget was 1,14,600/- crores where as the budgeted was 1,05,600/- crores. It was earlier reported that we will give back about 4,500/- cror...

pkudva

I am sorry to post it here, but the interim budget is out and the defence allocation has been a whopping 1,41,700/- crores fantastic....a rise of 36,000/- crore.

Any comments guys with a capital expenditure of 54,000/- crore.

pkudva

The LCH was supposed to fly in Dec-08,but got postponed and now the date has been fixed in Dec-09.Quite a delay.

pkudva

I have lots of hope in the month of Feb & March especially when aero india is going on. I expect india to sign delas on Miraage 2000 upgrade,aerostats,follow on orders for phalcon and off course new amended gorshkov deal.

pkudva

As i have emphaised ,even there is one bidder they should be entertained and we should go ahead with technical evaluation and sign the deal.
Just because there is only one bidder,we cannot wait for other companies to come and hamper our modernization plans,looks so stupid.

pkudva

any major defence deals expected guys???i am having my fiingerr crossed especially after 26/11 there is lots of pressure on the govt to complete the deals.

pkudva

We should appreciate that some major deals were signed, but it is true we tend to spend more than required time for some crucial weapons like towed artillery and some major ships and aircrafts. No one wants to sign controversial deal like artillery. I will appreciate if govt considers this and signs...

pkudva

I dont think a UAV feed can detect a miss of a few meters in vertical plane leading to a large horizontal miss. Which is what seems to have happened here. I dont see the need for a UAV on test area; the other telemetry already available is more accurate if its accuracy we are looking for; otherwise...

pkudva

It is almost confirmed that we will buy 3-4 more phalcon systems in the coming months for about 1.5 $ Billion.Rest of the details are not clear. It may be some aerostats ,and medium range survelliance aircrafts. All in all 3.1$ Billion looks unlikely.It will be very intresting to see in next 23 days...

pkudva

It was a 1 Billion Dollar Deal isnt it, then now the papers are saying 662$ million. What a joke.

pkudva

Again, I dont agree with this news. I doubt wether we use GPS system for our strategic programme. In that case we should also use it for Agni Missiles. India will definately trust the Glossnas but surely not the GPS, the americans are just waiting to get as much info on the russian/indian defence sy...

pkudva

I dont think we are replacing the Mi-26,the only problem is that the maintainence cost is huge and for any maintainence activity it has to be taken to russia and only limited numbers are operating in the world.
Chinook is a good option for the IAF.

pkudva

It is very intresting to see all the news that is making the headlines that army has rejected the Brahmos and has resquested for more tests and then India behind Pakistan in missiles. Please let me know,all in the forum are experts in various fields. But the point is No country in the world will giv...

pkudva

Again the MRRA has a different work compared to a LRRA,the LRRA is used for straegic activities compared to local patrolling for a MMRA. I do not think MRRA can fitted with the type of missiles that can be launched a compared to from a LRRA. The area covered by a LRRA is also large. For a country li...

pkudva

We should not waste an time in ordering more, i think that IAF will first look at the peformance of this beauty and then order. But the iniial information is that IAF has already made up its mind to order 4 more. During the initial odering the integration will always be a problem but the follow on o...

pkudva

The deal has already been signed, i suppose these are for additional procurements which were understood in the wake of Mumbai attacks. We should understand the Govt has a limited time frame to sign a number of defence deals as the Lok Sabha elections are coming fast and the budget is also in feb-09....

pkudva

Guys,we should not forget either 62 or 80 units will be procured in completely assembled condition.But there was also a media report saying that there will be Transfer of Technology so it definately we can manufacture them in India too as the same way as T-90. Pinaka MK-2 will definately come as the...

pkudva

It may be only 38+24 as recently a new deal for 300$ million was signed in Aug 2008 so it should for a total of 62 units and moreover , the figures mentioned may be wrong. Secondly Russia has already started delivery the first batch of Smerch Units as per the deal which was signed in 2005,so they ca...

pkudva

The initial Oder was signed in 2001 for 310 Tanks, with anunderstanding of technology tranfer for the production of 1000 Tanks in Avadi. The second order was signed late last year for 347 Tanks so the total count will be 1647. We do not know further how many tanks will be manufactured in avadi other...

pkudva

The A-3 has still not gone for production, it will atleast take one year before the production starts. The clearnence has been given now and hence the various procedures before formal induction will start. We should remember the a-3 was developed primarly to fit into the ATV. the range of the A-3 as...

pkudva

Its a great thing to know that spyder deal has been signed.Secondly it is surprise thing to know that the joint venure between israel and india on the joint missile programme has been stalled to the investigations. This definately endagerous the nation's security. The programme should always go on i...

pkudva

Rahul, i think we can still continue provided we stick to the issues related to the thread. We should not discuss on community related issues as these tend to be very controversial. So my opinion is to continue to this thread on the aviation subject only.

pkudva

Our Spy agencies should work with the spy agencies of our frienly countries like mosaad, KGB etc to ensure that we get to know the ways they try to trace the terroris.ts in their countries. Definately through this collabration we can improve the effieciency of our spy agency

pkudva

No news has been heard on this project fom some time now,hope everything is fine now.I hope the difference in the design requirements have been clearly decieded and all the design of the A/c has started.
I wish to see this a/c's in the 2 airforces in 2015 as planned after all testing.

pkudva

It was earlier confirmed by DRDO scientists and media reports as well that the missile will have a kill range of about 60km-80 km. But now has now been quoted as 25km-40 km. I think this is the initial phase of the development and after succesful trails then may be they might go for full load trails...
