Its a huge relief for HSL which was running without without orders. It is an oppurtunity for them to execute the delivaries now on Time unlike the earlier time when they delayed the Refittment of Kilo Sumarine in Yrs. Do not blame HSL on this issue. If not lengthy Kilo submarine refit, on what pret...

Though much of the mess has been made, LCA can still glorify itself with the MK1-A Version. The schedule of 2017 looks very tough and a ruthless will of work, round the clock at Vendor works with systematic supply chain availibility and testing can help it to join the IAF in Large Numbers. IAF shoul...

Wonderful bit of Article though some news also said it would be launched some time this Year.

Such news have been making headlines from years that next year the real testing be taking Place.

This will certainly help Pvt Sector in developing & testing various Technologies.

However it is known how much it requires to get an booking a slot for Testing & in issual of necessary certificates from Lab. Lot more needs to be done in ensuring commerce in defence exchanges are made easy.

One question to the ones/experts at Blore....
Has spyder been inducted into the IAF, have never seen them in the IAF colours. Deal was signed long back...still no pic of theirs formally....

Good News.

We have to see the picture/video of the Agni-3 Launch....The SFC Missiles are generally coated with camouflaged Colour....and White colour goes for development trail....

INS Arihant is itself S-2. Rest of the 2 which are under manufacturing are S-3 & S4. Cheers!!! Bumping this - if I remember correctly S-1 was an experimental hull that was built for experimentation. S-2 is Arihant, S-3 & S-4 are the new subs. So we will have 3 subs & not 4. This was dis...

"Bravo! Congratulations to the DRDO team for this landmark test. However, we are still lagging behind in missile technology. A mere 3000km range is just like stone-age weapons when compared to 25000km+ range missiles owned by a few countries including but not limited to our hostile neighbor Ch...

The state of conditions where the Kolkata class destroyers are berthed shows why all projects taken by MDL are under delay.

Over a period, i have seen missiles being tested at Balasore because of its infrastructure set up. Like most of the other countries, we should look at the mobility of the vehicles and test the missile from undisclosed locations, it will truly mean system is in a operational state.

In the present day scenario building and storing number os issies is of no use....as it will bull doze the economy. The management os missiles should be done cleverly based on the requirement.

About "Nasr" i have my own doubts....with a limited range of 60 Kms, max may be 100Km the reaction time will be so less it will be far difficult to destroy it using BMD. Perhaps the only chnace stands is by using an Air defence System.

Cheers.

It is of no doubt that Russians are helping in every stream of our Indegenous Programme but at a " High Cost". But our options are also limited especially in strategic areas. Remember they have been with us at all times.

DRDO seems to be more versatile now, i believe it has modified the killer missile of Prithvi and has developed the Prahaar. similarly, shaurya has been developed on lines of K-15. It is through this way a variety of missiles can be developed within less time frame. The development of A-5 from A-3 wa...

Pragmatic on Defence Therefore amidst such gloom and doom for Defence, it is a small consolation that India's Finance Minister has not been as tight-fisted as anticipated and has increased the Defence Budget to Rs 1,64,400 crore for FY 2011-12, an increase of 11.5 per cent compared to 2010-11 which...

pkudva

But the capital expenditure in the last budget was mentioned as 60,000/- crores, how can be mentioned as 45,000/- which means again we will fail to utilise nearly 14,000/- crores.

Also, intrestingly 56,000/- crores is less than the amount allocated in the earlier budget which was 60,000/- crores.
