you can have big plans - we dont have the big money and neither Cheens ability to reengineer, reverse engineer etc nor its ability to get a deal. and all the time we have lots more pressing needs. Btw even the 4 which we were supposed to want - was a lease - so much for building in numbers Yea the V...

Surya

Shiv unfortunately even that does not work out to get to a CBG group you need more than one - to get a few serviceable - you need a lot more and thus the numbers start getting out of hand they will cost a packet just to be available (without even flying) and then every hour they gfly the expense goe...

Surya

add to serviceability levels, costs. other requirements - larger hangers (we could always park expensive assets out in the open ) , strengthened runways - and good standoff missiles - more large refuellers you see how quickly it becomes super duper expensive so unless like Cheen you are thinking of ...

Surya

we have seen the much improved Mig 29 K - and how wonderful thats turning out to be hell we have seen how much serviceablity we get out of our Su 30s and these are the ones where we have 100s and actually make them to some level here and somehow we are going to get a handful of white elephants and m...

Surya

their recon role - well the Georgians ended that - and they are nowhere bristling like Cheen as for patrol - I know everyone describes it as maritime patrol but patrol would imply spending time over an area the backfires dont really do that like the Bears The maintenance being better - take it with ...

Surya

how do you 'patrol' with high speed aircraft?

all they would do is a high speed flypast

also what about costs of maintenance of these rare usage birds?

Surya

^ Surya saar Colonel RSN Singh has been saying from the time of General V.K. Singh that congis+chandigarh gang had manipulated the succession line from jj singh's time with his help. Could it be seen that, govt. is correcting that? Secondly why there was no such hooopla when robin dhowan was made n...

good writeup by Panag

Surya

Problem rakesh is that at some point it will be a coalition of duffers and then we have to suffer Rohit - one aspect you left out - you mention politicians but the big guys in tilting things are babus. the babus currently hate Raha because he is a tough nut to crack. apparently Bakshi is a tougher n...

Surya

well yea we might need the duffer RaGa - but there is no choice - someone from opposition has to be taken
they do it for CVC so why not here?

else political infoghts will be the order of the day since many people are not going to buy CI expertise etc

Rohit - nice writeup

Surya

not so fast Rakesh If Modi really wants to go with merit then there needs to be some better objective and it needs to be a panel like the CVC selection maybe PM,RM and leader of largest opposition this will remove the political element out there are enough indication amongst my sources that Bakshi w...

Surya

Aiyo wait a little bit more

lets see a 100 dhanush and few dozen ATAGS

Surya

my vote changed to negative

the near daily rule changes and exmptions for political parties etc is getting on my nerves

Surya

the sensible thing would be to finish the plains\desert trials and start initial production and deal with mountain \cold etc later

the faster we get moving the more comfortable I feel ... all this trials make me nervous

^^^ That is indeed ours DRDO netra it is used by BSF, Army and law enforcement agencies. Their chipanda friends can analyze what is the resolution at what height it can operate etc. nothing serious for such cheap UAV. Secondly the submarine trailed by pakis was indeed our 209's they were probably s...

Surya

the official inflation figures are rubbish

also many people are putting way more hours and doing multiple jobs to keep earning same level

Surya

aroor was in US then came back then on to Australia and then to Seattle - at least the second part funded by Boeing

Surya

What's the problem if they're doing so with full disclosure? Unlike babus and politicians, they aren't spending taxpayer's money on these junkets. And for all the insinuations about him and others pushing favorable stories, the best "marketing pitchs" for the Tejas and Arjun have come fro...

Surya

funny when the jounos take their little jaunts and write with not a hint of embarrassment, they will berate babus and politicians for fact finding and education jaunts but their own trips are soooooo important

Surya

Given the closeness of the result in the rust belt battleground states I will credit this Republican victory to Comey. In the October 31st to Nov 5 period Hillary went down from a very comfortable 7+% lead to a precarious 2.7% and could bounce back only to about 3.9% in the remaining 2 days because...

afriend who has no interest in defense said - we should go in for transferring both lines F 16 and F 18

I laughed and said - nice dream but cannot afford unless the IAF is not expected to order them

now shukla says this

Same point has been argued here before. Some agree some do not. Are your friends from IAF??

Yes

what rational desi wouldn't want to see the F-35 in Indian colors? ME. In this fast moving thread, i saw this flipping by this morning, but thought it is important to answer the question.

Is this the jihadi march?

first Para, now TA

Surya

why are people ruling F 16 out simply because the Pakis have them?

Its not deterred either the Israelis or the Egyptians from using it or the Greeks and Turks

He called Reagan the greatest jihadi

we seem to be talking of Reliance as one unit in all fields

we have Motabhais reliance and chotabhais reliance (ADAG??)

Chotabhais track record is suspect-

Surya

This guy is a foreigner so please keep this in mind while going through his comments

In 2016 and that too on BRF

the saddest part is both Modi and Doval should have known they were going to be tested and prepared. while in 2 years I dont expect them to get 2000 guns - at least the damn order and induction should have started. moving like molasses .. sigh more than modi - dovals reputation is on the line right ...

Surya

the original SF guys scoff at the 3 months

3 months is where you really start falling apart and then its that extra which gets you through next 2.5 months

ohhh but the great para jernails thought that was too much

to rohit point even the unit pujari had to run the ragda

Surya
