umm MKI s near border with EW aerostats and Phalcons around looks like more of offensive defence to me ! Those missiles would be spotted as soon as they are fired unless ..well chinese dont have that anyway ..so chill ! MKI s would be up and doing their business by the time those missiles enter Indi...

oh its just the american way of marketing .. just buy in bulk even if you dont need that many .. unit costs are higher if you buy less .. try any walmart .. same with lockmart

Forgive me if i am wrong.Whats this thing for multiple vendors ? If someone has what you need and willing to sell you whats wrong in just getting it ? Now is this a good or bad thing ? Just like the spyders the HARPOONs are the best in its class.What is the MOD trying to prove?

those are for the poseidons

and "Although initially tested on United States Navy ships, the decision was made to not procure Harpoon Block II for the US Fleet. Boeing claims 28 foreign navies as Block II costumers."

Hi Arun_S , can you tell us exactly (educate) us rather , about the implication/benefit of the Nuclear accord with US.Understandably India n hands will be tied up in its foreign policy options, but other that .. the percieved benefits ? Would really appreciate it :) I know this stuff is a dynamic bu...

Right on .That will make sure India is committed to their PAK FA. Looking at the political scenario Russia will only be happy to cozy upto the Chinese. India s future seems to lie in the western camp.

Hi Arun,
Just one question.If those 'enlightened' ones at NSG say that we ll have the deal if India forgoes the right to test and agrees to the rest , should India say yes or nyet .Personally I would tell them to go to .. well whatever

better for a sub launched SLBM ?

active radar counter measures :) just like noise cancellation earphones ! find the radar freq and cancel them out pesa+aesa.one can imagine the computing power it requires ( f22 supposedly has the computing power of 4-5 supercomputers).After the blip then nothing else ! Interesting to see how this w...

Forgive me if i am wrong.Wont a customised MKI with extended range stand off smart AGM s make the DPSA relatively obsolete.These planes can very well use the next gen pods (am talking not about the lantirns currently in service)for long range standoff attacks beyond the range of antiaircraft defence...

just a link to show the capabilities of the sniper targeting pod gifted to Pak for fighting terrorism.I dont know if lantirn 3rd gen in service with IAF comes close to the range or capability

What is this new missile ? Any ideas anyone .. some one is taking it damn seriously.. of course partly the reason for the indian missile shield

why not include the chinese '5'th generation stealth fighter in the scenario maybe as a surprise element. (for indians that is).And why not some threat perception to the Indian satellite network by the chinese asats? A lot of unknown factors about the chinese capabilities in assymetric warfare exist...

What about uv emissions from the rocket exhaust plume .. any way to mask that.Early warning satellites use detectors for this spectrum Will that heat increase the chances of getting detected any possible detector?? sure yes.. but most such infra reds have a range issue and time would not be enough f...

Wont the chinese want to test their carrier busting ballistic missiles instead of using their warships or sukhois .. aka shashaojian on the Indian carrier Group ? what is the chances of survival against a massed attack by the shashaojians alone ?

http://intellibriefs.blogspot.com/2007/08/india-us-civil-nuclear-deal-deal.html Whats the truth regarding this ?? "India alone has the technological expertise for thorium-based reactors and a 300 MW reactor is under regulatory clearance. If launched in the 11th Plan, it may be ready within seve...

Dude you seem to be pretty well informed on the happenings .. nice to see that guys like you are around !!

hmm maybe i was wrong .. check this out !!

The F-22's avionics have the computing power of two Cray supercomputers, and they produce a large amount of heat.

In the source’s opinion, the active phased array radars being developed in different countries of the world have similar characteristics in may ways – the quantity of receive and transmit modules (PPM) is practically the same, the very same technology is being employed, the PPM power on practic...

The doctrine of first strike itself is a very potent one. That itself is a deterence.Sometimes as equal to having a nuclear weapon even if you dont have it in reality and is good at keepin others guessing .. now if India doesnt have a fusion bomb and says we are changing our doctrine to first strike...

Are the upgrade deals subject to offsets as well ... so many upgrades going on .. costing billions of dollars

Just wondering .. is it that easy to change the LCA s engine from F404 to the RD .. maybe the kaveri engine ?!! .. the pak shouldnt have had a prob when the RD33 was initially denied to them

Is it possible for the aesa radar to protect the fighter using active radar cancellation techniques .. i am not referring to active jamming but something similar to noise cancellation techiques ? Read somewhere that the spectra aboard the Rafale is capable of doing something like this .. you analyse...

I guess a good chanakya strategy would go like this esp if i need to save resources .. cultivate some friends around your enemy by giving them weapons ( fancy ones too ) to the countries lying close to it (neighbours are the best people who are likely to be your enenies) .. and of course they have t...
