technical support - as in timely delivery of spares, etc? Or political support? The prior, IMHO, is important. The latter? I would not depend on it in this era. IMHo India, the next time around NEEDS to deliver a solution that should either reduce future occurrences of problems in teh region or tot...

Also any news on the Jaguar Darin-III upgrade, the MiG-29 Upgrade???

3. The Atlantique was not engaged in a dog fight, which makes it easier to shoot down with a gun rather than a supersonic dog fighter with agility where one would have to resort to missiles Proven by the fact that we can't remember the last gun only dogfight kill for IAF? The PN Antlantique was sho...

The MRCA deal is not just about buying aircrafts... At its heart is the age old geo-political battle of which side should we lean on... This is being fought since the day the decision to induct the first supersonic jet was taken... ( IIRC, the F104 was considered along with MiG 21 and Mirage III) My...

just a question, how does the NAL Hansa, manufactured by taneja aerospace according to wiki compare to the deepak ? On comparing the specs, Hansa seems to be underpowered when compared to the Deepak, and its wing area is comparatively less.. so on the paper, deepak is a better military trainer in m...

priority one should be to identify to root cause of engine problems and address them. Is it so complex that they cannot even fix a piston engine problem? HAL should cover for all the expenses and fix the problem. priority two should be to identify replacement plane. Amen... I mean if we cannot solv...

You have got to be kidding me... Foreign purchase of even the trainer aircraft... Are we that incapable of even designing a stage-1 Trainer aircraft... Or is the IAF over-exaggerating the recent crash of the Deepak in Dundigal (no disrespect to the brave officers intended) to import even this kind o...

Need Help...

Guys can anyone tell which all support aircraft flew in with the F-18??? Cause i think i just saw a KC-10 extender overfly my home at approx 1100hrs...

PS- sorry mods, didn't know if this could be posted in the MRCA thread...

The Super Hornet Flight Testing has started i guess.. An aircraft, different from the usual MiG's and Jaguars that usually fly over my house made 5-7 sorties in the time from 0930 to 1230 hrs... Each one was subsonic but the altitude seemed to be gradually increasing... anyone living in the flight p...

Beautiful post abhishekm... Love the angle you are taking.. showing the pakistani counteractions... nice work man... keep it up...

Shiv Saar - Volume is definitely a problem and as you have rightly identified, ROI is very important for pvt sector. From various reports that are coming out, there is a steady increase in demand for Dhruv. If HAL is not able to ramp the volume, somebody else is going to grab it (even if the produc...

Shankar sir, welcome back... Thanks for the fresh post. Now, forgive me for being selfish but could you please post a few more times today/tomorrow???

Indeed Ahuja Saar. While we understand that day job and other commitments keep you busy but do drop a line on this thread as to when we can expect your next installment so it spares us the pain of an anxious wait. Not that I mind waiting for your Commie blasting scenarios. :lol: too true... i can't...

Shankar sir,
Awesome build up of scenario's... Am at the edge of my seat reading your scenario... I have one question though... What would you have done if the paki colonel had instead decided to close in and engage in close quarters with T 90's...

If the enemy does not possess any strength in terms of anti-air weapons, any aircraft that can carry air-to-ground weapons could be pressed into the CAS role. But that's the point: the enemy is very rarely going to be exposed without at least basic anti-air weapons. In this case you need specialize...

Umm guys, sorry to bother you , but if you guys could tell me where you bought the Janes Aircraft Recognition Guide, collins pocket book version i would really appreciate the help.. i have been looking for that book since ages but never found it in chennai...

Dear Vivek Ahuja Sir... Thanks for the latest post :D ... Can't wait to get my hands on your book... If i could read a harry potter for 600+ pages.. i can easily read this stuff for 900+ pages :D .. Though one thing... Like i had asked sometime back, could you please just explain whether Hawk AJT's ...

Notwithstanding the recent tragic crash of an Su-30MKI,the aircraft has had 12 safe years in service and more advanced versions of the aircraft should be considered to make up numbers instead of buying an inferior MMRCA at high cost. Inferior ? I am sorry the Eurofighter and Rafale are equal or bet...

After long wait, IAF to get first Phalcon AWACS on May 20 The delaying tactics are still on...May 18th has become May 20th! :evil: Excerpt from the article above Incidentally, IAF and Navy are also on course to induct nine more Israeli Aerostat radars as a "follow-on'' order to the two such EL...

Whos gonna pay for it ???? Indian Tax payers ? my point is we should equip IA with what Indian Tax payers can support and not what people living in foreign lands think IA should be equipped with after all they don't have to pay for it. If they want IA to dress like US mil then let them Dream about ...

edit.

realistically speaking, only the leader is the non-sheep. rest everyone else is the sheep. once the leader (USA) defines what is the next generation tech and goes about realizing that tech and applications, rest everyone follows (Russia, UK, France, Germany, Japan, etc etc). India is no different i...

Aha loved the exploits. out-of-the-box thinking would suggest a half dozen AN32 could be converted into a gunship AN32G configuration using the old engines but night navigation and targeting retrofit sourced from our other programs like the Hind upg. A single 20mm cannon backed by 50cal coax HMG an...

Dear Mr Ahuja, I am a newbie to this forum. First of all let me congratulate you for the exteremly brilliant and gripping story you are giving us here.
