Did anyone observe how smooth the hydropneumatic suspension is compared to the jerky torsion bar on the tin cans. Even the Kestrel has much better suspension than the wheeled junk from the tin can land.

^Is that the BMP-2 turret?

The deafening silence over the last few months about LCA MK-1 production,etc. and little statements emanating from the IAF about its induction isn't a healthy sign. Man what is wrong with you. SP-2 just flew. Are you ignorant or just lying on purpose? ✈Anantha Krishnan M ✈ ‏@writetake 10m10 minutes...

you see conspiracies where none are. I have not seen a single comment on this forum that has insinuated that Tejas has deficiencies.

^The accusation is that it didn't hit the target. It was due to guidance errors of the LGB Kit, the Israeli Griffin, apparently. Although vested interests outside and even on this forum insinuates that it is somehow a failure by Tejas.

member_22539

^Again peddling nonsense regarding Tejas. Inside the article (I am sure read it and innocently forgot) it is mentioned that the guidance on the bomb itself, an Israeli Griffin kit, was what had failed. You also forget that in 2013, Tejas had its laser guided bomb hit the target quite well (I am sure...

^The glee with which some people post (fake) negative news about indigenous products has to be seen to be believed. Sad, really sad.

member_22539

^Forget stringent. Asking the indigenous tank fire control system to be proven within 15 days as compared to testing of mature systems from foreign suppliers is noting short of treasonous or are these people so retarded?

Does anyone have small vids of just these nice firepower demonstrations or a highlights sort of summary?

Nice to see another anime fan, but isn't it Kakarot?

member_22539

^Wow, nice system with regard to the scientists. I didn't know they were a bulk supplier for anything besides small arms. MBRLs? I thought they were stuck old stocks themselves (though I have always heard that NK artillery is the strongest arm of the military). Its a revelation that they are exporti...

^Arms means technology and industry. Both a pre-requisite for high standards of living. If you have a balance like Khan does, it works out. If you spend beyond capacity, like the Soviet Union did, it adds to other systemic problems and could end up being the last straw that broke the camel's back. I...

Either the cameraman is not showing the missile hits or their camera is so bad that a close and quick flyby by the missile is not visible. I think it is the latter. If the warhead is not exploding, how can we see the missile passing by with such poor resolution broadcast.

They are cutting off just before the hit, thats what is happening. Because I see the audience clapping for each hit. They are screwing us guys watching the webcast/DD.

Check out the the scenario VIDEO

. These guys need a bigger budget for publicity. Sad.

member_22539

^Fu(k this, that guy didn't show the hit, AGAIN. This time with the OSA.

member_22539

Yep, with R73 I thought it was a miss, but guess what, even the Igla missile was not shown anywhere near the flare. Either they both missed (I don't think so) or this is the WORST camera work EVER.

member_22539

Ideally I would like a burst + auto to cater for all situations but if that cannot be done then an full auto with a low rate of fire and high reliability is fine. You can train troops to fire burst in auto mode if the rifle is reliable. This is all that I am saying. Train them to shoot in short bur...

member_22539

^Nothing against the above. Agree 100%. What I do not agree with is handicapping the soldier on the field because some staff officer decided he cant trust the guy fighting to keep his cool in battle. Train him better, but don't snatch his options away. Suppressive fire is one of the most common sort...

Indian Army believes and trains to the following maxim 'Ek goli ek dushman'. The army uses ammunition more frugally than the western nations. If only the enemy (particularly the jihadi type) fought back the same way. Perhaps we should train our soldiers to stoically aim and fire as single round to ...

@Arun. The 3 Burst mode was brought in to increase Accuracy and reduce wastage of Ammo. During the GWOT the inhibitions towards ammo wastage were reduced/removed which allowed for proliferation of Full Auto Small Arms. Can India afford the same SOPs? This is the age of hybrid war. In this era, do w...

member_22539

^^ You though wrong. From all open source info, the burst mode remains the preferred option all over the world for infantry including the users of AK series. Some Nato forces and insas omitted the auto option initially which is making a come back for anti insurgency work but burst mode is not going...

member_22539

^Thats what they thought. Kind of like the brilliance of giving up guns on fighters back during Vietnam. Now they have gone back to fully automatic, and guess why - actual combat experience rather than fanciful theories. Quoting wikipedia: Conversion of M4s to the M4A1 began in 2014, the start of al...

How many armies in the world insist on a burst mode and why all this hoopla about some panwallah nonsense?

member_22539

^True, but who cares about that. It doesn't bring in any kickbacks. Margin is too low, even if volume is high.

member_22539

^Don't worry. The only reason why politicians in India hesitate to attack our enemies are because they are worried about the next election. If a nuke attack happens on India, they better retaliate, or they can run away from India before a lynch mob finds them. That is all there is to it.

I always wondered how a BDs humanoid robots compares to Japnese counterparts, i.e. Asimo. I haven't seen the Japanese robots exhibit such balance and control in rugged terrain. They seem pretty challenged just walking on level ground or going up stairs. The real story here is that how far the US ha...

^I don't think it is that easy. We may be able to develop something within 4 to 5 years (like the above project, I presume), but it will be at least a generation behind the current Litening. So, long as we are willing to buy that in bulk, it would be worth continuing the project for maybe a decade i...
