No need to do that. The next transport aircraft to be procured for the IAF can either be the A400 or the C 290. They are both very capable aircrafts. As many as 80 aircraft are to be procured in this program. Plus, the IAF is also planning to replace the An32 from 2030 onwards. This basically means...

Is it feasible /realistic to get some C5 / C141 from US boneyard ? I believe C 141 was fairly problematic

What we know - At the moment, HAL has production capacity of 16/year. So, eventually capacity would reach 24/year >> it would just take 4 years to make 100 more aircrafts !! and who knows.. they increase capacity further. We didn't knew about HAL Nashik being pushed to Tejas manufacturing before th...

Even if all are made in India, Generals may still make Indian manufacturers jump through the hoops, developing newer products (whatever brochures the generals can lay their hands on in international exhibitions) without ordering existing ones. They will call the existing ones outdated because some ...

Agni II ?

My (wild) thinking would be that our IAC should be STOBAR but with provision to be retro-fitted with steam catapult / EMAL

Some news reports that IA has bought SPIKE missiles and launchers.

Indeed, if Tejas production has to increase. Then all the entities have to pull together. The building of the aircraft in large numbers is going to teach us a lesson. That is, as important as learning how to design the aircraft. Maybe we have partly past that stage What we need is to fine tune our ...

If the West thinks about it the reason Russian MIC is up and running is orders from India in 95-10 period. The Russians were drinking cool aid at that time and many factories would have closed down without Indian orders at that time. The entire MiG set-up would have been history but for IN order fo...

I think some of us are making a rather big issue of seeing Tejas at Awantipora I remember that many, many years ago ACM Major had said in a press confeence/release that IAF plans to have system such that any combat aircraft could be based in any air base.
