From DRDO Techfocus January 2008 issue 2007 round up by Dr. VK Atre Successful launch of Interceptor Missile (AAD) Last month on December 6, we took a significant step towards developing Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD), when an endo-atmospheric interceptor missile killed 'hostile' missile off the Or...

Navy's sea harrier crashes at Goa airport

K Mehta

I hope harry is well, dont see him posting on any other forum too.

K Mehta

oops my over enthusiastic click finger.

K Mehta

The aircraft is still under development and Northrop Grumman, its manufacturer, should achieve initial operational capability in 2011.

And only then the deliveries will begin.

Hope the Indigenous programme comes round by that time.

We expect the first AWACS aircraft to be delivered by August or September next year and also our indigenous AWACS programme is progressing well.

making mistakes is common and fine by me. But repeating such mistakes and not even trying to correct them is not. I have said earlier that the mistake has arose due to use of a word processor, thats fine by me. That it was copied over and over on almost all media is also fine by me. The problem is a...

K Mehta

shiv sir
kindly allow some discussion (no rants) on this topic.

K Mehta

gopal Any comment on my post? There is some thing called proof readers. The thing is while defence journos err, you would hardly find any corrigendum or erratum being published the day later. My grouse against them is not that they err but they dont even correct it. FI has a good short feedback loop...

K Mehta

aye aye sir

K Mehta

This Li s tening thing shows how much knowledgeable our defence reporters are and how much cut copy paste happens in our defence reporting. On the other hand this shows somebody who prepared the primary report was using a word processor like MS Word with auto-correct mode on. On the other hand it wo...

An update regarding Shivalik class frigates By June 2008 , the first of three 4,900-tonnes, Shivalik class stealth frigates will commence eighteen months of trials with the Indian Navy. The second Shivalik class frigate will start trials by December 2008 , followed by the third. Simultaneously, Pro...

Report from New Indian Express BALASORE: As part of efforts to develop a multi-layer interceptor missile system, India on Thursday successfully test fired an indigenously-built Advanced Air Defence (AAD) missile capable of destroying hostile missiles at low altitude from the integrated test range o...

K Mehta

it seemed very funny to me as well there is no such tank and all future programmes also dont have anything in light weight (anywhere abroad) all systems I know are either heavy(ier) or like stryker are not tanks esp MBTs. I agree not all is black or white, but apparently IAF is becoming more recepti...

then where does GSQR 2020 lead? Siberia?

K Mehta

I am wondering about a few things: The GSQR 2020, how feasible is it? The only thing I can think that could come close is Tank-X(2)[modified with Arjun Mk2 engine and other modifications] 40 tons?? What are the other equivalent systems of Akash? Price and range of those systems? Any specific problem...

K Mehta

shiv sir please repost your game theory scenario. I had read it partly, but when I came back to reread it, it was gone.

We expect the first AWACS aircraft to be delivered by August or September next year and also our indigenous AWACS programme is progressing well.

Good news or DDM?
Hope its good news.

Kersi sir please explain how it will kill DRDO?

I dont know how good his DIP (DRDO) is. Will wait and watch rather than comment with prejudice. By the way for those who are interested The techfocus this month has some 3D CAM image right on the cover (which I think) causes acrobat to crash if you try to view inside firefox or IE on my SDRE compute...

K Mehta

how much royalty or money for product developed does DRDO get? Specifically how much % profit is awarded to DRDO by say BEL or L&T? I think the answer is no but would like to have a confirmation. Isnt it time that DRDO should get some share of the profit the DPSUs make? This way it would reward ...

K Mehta

gopal the T-series also faced problems in the desert heat didnt they? even if the peak heat happens only for a few months, its not just desert heat you want to check, even sand storms and cold desert nights as well as other conditions would also needed to be checked. I agree that CVRDE uses army fac...

K Mehta

shiv saar pardon me but either i havent understood your sarcasm or is it guns v/s butter argument? Sarcasm aside sir, isnt it necessary for the cvrde to have a desert testing range where they can make minor modifications while testing in desert conditions without things being out in media or done wh...

K Mehta

With regard to the problems MBT arjun faced during the summer trials, isnt it strange that CVRDE does not have a test range or workshop in rajasthan? It would indeed serve the purpose of testing the combat vehicle well. Such a center will help is testing of not just tanks but also APCs and other veh...

joey, moles are generally protruding out from the skin . I think I have seen the kind of thing you said on the back of my grandfather too. He is still healthy. There is no harm in showing to a dermatologist. Was he hospitalized earlier? The reason I ask is when I had asked one of my doctor uncles ab...

K Mehta

That is really strange man moles are themselves an aberrant growth. With more moles it would also mean more aberrant growth. See the comment on the article. Really strange. By the way sanjay, is there a forum or site from where you get all these articles? May be they should have taken other factors ...

directed drug delivery, It was so fascinating when I first heard it. enzyme based, small molecule based and antibody based directed drug delivery and all other kinds. Well they still seem to be far from achieved. Those in vitro experiments especially on animal tissue culture turn out quite different...

sanjay I have heard the opposite, The oxidative damage comes in much later, when a threshold of DNA damage has already exceeded(all mitochondrial genomes together cannot produce enough redox regulator enzymes). The other thing is I have read papers which say that mito DNA which is has deletion, out ...

K Mehta

Aah The great telomerase story Did you know telomerase is very similar to reverse transcriptase? :twisted: Check out this link . Telomerase for your face. By the way, the oxidative damage theory is well just a theory. It has not been conclusively proved to be the most important factor. There are stu...

K Mehta

Raju,
I dont think something like that can exist. The number of gene modules a mycobacterium uses for drug resistance cannot be propagated in a virus. It is simply impossible.
I think this is some sort of chain mail you have received.

K Mehta

Looks like IAF is taking with it Lots of Bisleris. Not trusting the drinking water availble there huh?

Even real fruit juice is there in the supplies.

K Mehta

Kartman you are right, couldnt find any pics without the muzzle brakes. Heck it was difficult to find AK pics. Looks like its INSAS all over the army. And every single rifle I saw had a muzzle brake, except for those caught from the militants. Saw a few rifles from militants having folding metal sto...

Can we have a bot report thread? would remove the bot posts from ban list warning thread where only admins are supposed to post. Plz make it sticky, if you do make such a thread.

K Mehta

By the way misc photos thread has become another small arms thread.

K Mehta

kartman and m bose saars, thanks a lot for the info, I didnt even know it was called a muzzle, was going to write barrel, then remembered something like muzzle from CS, did google and got a bit of gyan just before posting. Since silencers are bigger (as seen in movies), i was wondering what this cut...

K Mehta

Then why dont all AKs in army have it? Muzzle brakes only for particular units? or different muzzle brakes for different units?

Harry more info please, if possible. Also can you explain why is it that the dme pdf says the test of the KMGT is a refit issue?
