Re: MRCA (Many Rakshaks Choose Aircraft) Contest - Episode III
Just a random thought that has been going on my since I heard about signing of COMCASA. Maybe, just maybe F-35 be a late entry to the MMRCA. reason: - there is not much logic behind GoI signing COMCASA unless something game changer comes. armed predator drones just doesn't cut it. - IAF always wante...

Re: Indian Space Programme Discussion - Sept 2016
GPS & GLONASS receivers already exist in smartphones, adding NAVIC on top should not impact the cost too much. Russia mandated that all smartphones with GPS sold in Russia should also have GLONASS capability and there were no perceptible change in costs due to this. The NAVIC signal specificati...

Problem2 : If it has GPS+NAVIC, cost of the device will increase (in cases by 1000Rs.) Could you explain the basis of this calculation?

There might be a possibility that IAF wants to use meteor with only Mk2 fitted with Uttam and not 1A. Mk2 ultimately is more suited for interceptor role. For 1A they are considering Astra which will be more suited for occasional firing of BVR in point defense role, so they do not care if MBDA does n...

In my opinion, all the F series a/c do not stand a chance in the MMRCA 3.0. Least of all Gripen. IAF is waiting for upgradation of Rafale and to buy time, they started the tender farce. Reasons: IAF in the long term wants to decrease the variety of a/c it uses for a laundry list of reasons after the...
