There must be 3 lines for sub. Scorpene expertise must not be lost. So production line should be 1. Mazagaon, 2. Visakhapatnam, 3. private mostly L&T. There is a need for 2 additional submarine repair yards, rather than sending submarine to foreign shores for repair.

Indus water only if they vacate POK. That must be the point to put across.

.... The IAF has for some reason that is beyond my comprehension has identified an urgent need to procure single engine advanced 4 generation aircraft. My only guess is that they need fleet recapitalization too and the path to get there using the Rafale is not affordable. I would guess it was govt ...

Actually if HAL has complete control over HJT-36 and has to use internal resources. It will avoid HAL going for every time to MOD for approval or every requirement. HAL would be making tons of money to fund and make use of that fund to develop project. HJT-36 is low cost project, they should complet...

40 to 200Gbs capability available over fiber, infiniband.
10GB ethernet available over copper and fiber for a long time.
40Gb ethernet available now. mostly over fiber.

The problem was not the bandwidth over wire/fiber, but the actual transmit and receive module capability.

Boeing is the sales partner for KC-390. What does that mean operationally? Can they not help create a different segment of transporters with another country? Can they not consult? Is it binding? No idea, was just pointing to this fact. Personally I would like KC-390 Made in India, In fact Embraer's...

Does TSP honor all treaty with India. Do they honor Shimla Agreement, if not why India should honor any treatment with TSP.

ragupta

Maybe Boeing could be a partner. They don't have a product to compete against LMs c130. MTA with same engines as c17 the p&w 40000lb and similar cockpit could be quite a competitor against a lot of other offerings. They could even sell/reuse potions of c17 line which name sense and design and d...

LCA Mk2 is delayed because there is no agreed upon leader in the ADA-AF faction who has a clear idea of what is required of the LCA AF Mk2. On the Navy side, Mao sir has a clear idea, but not enough power. Because MK1A meets 95 of the objective, the only things M2k offers is more range, more capabi...

ragupta

Pessimist can hold on to it. India needs to make sure the optimistics keep working and I believe they will make it happen.

ragupta

I feel that LCA-Mk2 is deliberately delayed, because of IAF penchant for changing mind when they see something on the horizon, specially for local product. IAF has played lot of hard ball with R&D, so I think they want to make sure they get all that is ordered and use Mk1A, still a much better p...

ragupta

I think (or at least the way I do it) is a "time-line" needs three things: User/client, provider/researcher and opponent (of the client/user). Only then will the picture be clear. So, I have no problem if the MK2 is delivered in 2035 - great plane, etc. But once placed in conjunction with...

ragupta

Grippen was never changed what changed was end letter, F-18 became C to E, why should Tejas change, it has the same lineage, call it Super Tejas. What it there in name, it is still a R&D project. I do not see a value of changing a name.

India survived without US help, it they want to backtrack midway, it is their choice. Obviously all these efforts was to increase economic trade.

==== Draw a timeline and see when India will get to all those targets you talk of. And, then tell me if teh "user" will wait that long. IN - the author of the MK2 - has already dropped out. Not because the plane is bad. ??????? === If India uses 20% of what it uses for import, and tap the ...

The main argument of MII is employment and nothing else

I would say it is also to build capability, Manufacturing will bring know-how as well. Employment is just one benefit of MII.

India is the only large market for Medium size transporter.

I think French will probably test Kaveri in Rafale only, if we want that prototype, India will have to pay for it, maybe useful to test just one type of engine. It would be a waste to acquire system just for single type. it would be better to go for 4 engine plane like 747 / IL-76 because if you wan...

Doesn't TATA manufacture Helo Bodies for the S92, C-130 parts, Chinook and Apaches? They probably want to do screwdrivergiri just like the Akash Missile in a JV with DRDO. Hence this IMRH Model. The build quality of the Akash Missile looks quite good from the recent pictures, Indian PVT companies w...

Well why not just raise the floor or create false ceiling to create space for accessory or anything that would meet navy's desire of reduced height. Obviously the overall height is not the problem as they seems to be using coaxial rotors helos. The extra space can be used for something else or ask ...

ragupta

I dont think it is just a question of offloading one IL-76 to GTRE mating the kaveri and testing the engine , if things were as simple as that they would have done that long time back. We would need the wind tunnel model data of Kaveri engine across different thrust and altitude when mated with IL-...

ragupta

If Navy wants lesser high, and HAL knows this a priori, they can easily make first version such that reducing height later would be easy job for them. I don't think its a big deal. HAL would be anticipating Navy orders later and would get some inputs from them informally, if Navy is interested. Wel...

The VVIPs need to stand. this is requirement was changed my the earlier PMO put this requirement in. They can bend a bit, the jawans do! The internal volume seems very similar to Aw101 (6.5m L by 2.3m W by 1.91m H) and for IMRH( 5.7m L by 2.1m W by 1.9m H). It will need 3000 shp engine class if the...

I had asked him why don't they just buy that Il-76 test bed. I am talking more about the altitude test facility like this UK NGTE Pyestock or the facility at NASA Glenn. or at Anecom & DLR and of course Gromov in Russia. The IL-76 / 747 flying test beds etc are the final stage. But to get there...

The last 20 were ordered in 2001-2002.. The Jaguar re enginining has been on the cards from the longest of times. Glad it's finally happening.. Looks like may not happen with F125.

F-18 only, if eventually local built and made in the factory of future twin engine aircraft, that Boeing offered to setup, that can be used to build AMCA also.
