Targeting a particular civilian ship isn't very difficult for a drone if it has the range. Every ship has an AIS transponder that advertises its location. Homing in on the AIS signal shouldn't be too hard.

Doing something in-house will require extensive design and testing, and passing stringent qualification tests. All this will take time, essentially pushing Gaganyaan back by a few years. Also, there is a ton of knowledge gained by both Russia and US in the area of manned space missions - all that wi...

I feel that the Dravida thing is hollow. While there is quite a bit of caste tension, the (Hindu) Tams I know are quite religious. I don't think anybody has called the bluff and offered an alternative. Hoping that Annamalai is able to do that.

Indeed. The Admiral does say that some airframe assembly of the Rafale M will occur alongside Air Force Rafales. A slip of the tongue? :) Quite indiscreet. The good admiral isn't wrong - while everybody "knows" that the MRFA contest is going nowhere and it just makes sense to order more R...

SuSwamy is also part of the Lutyens ecosystem. Yes, he's been helpful in exposing some scams, but that was fortuitous. SuSwamy has only one party - his - and he goes into revenge taking mode against all the who have "wronged him". But he is an insider in Delhi corridors of power. Now that ...

For me, the follow on to P15B needs to have only one improvement: more SAMs - minimum 64, preferably 96. That's all. Everything else is optional. Anyway, remembering that MDL is a public company, I looked at the latest earnings call transcripts . Here are excerpts: In addition, from 2014 to 2023, if...

This is very bad. If you take the Visakhapatnam class, it was approved in 2009, contract signed in 2011, lead ship laid down in 2013, launched in 2015, commissioned in 2021. That's 12 years for an existing (Kolkata class) design! Now, going by the good admiral's remarks, I suspect that the design is...

My somewhat cynical view is that IAF realized that due to upcoming General Elections next year, no MMRFA is going to happen (having seen the "Rafale scam" tamasha last time by pappu), and if a new Govt takes over, then another couple of years would be lost. So, faced with falling squadron ...

Do Chetak or Cheetah have auto pilot?

Regarding the Sig purchase, they went with a DI version, which was probably the result of needing to control a 7.62x51 rifle in full auto mode. If they found it unsuitable (including the obvious fouling up problem), begs the question what trials they did.

Since US and UK have both supported Canada in opposing the expulsion of 41 diplomats, I can only assume that this lot contained intel operatives and it'd adversely affect the five eyes intel gathering in India. Otherwise, why would they care ?

if an item is on a positive indigenization list, does it mean it has to be procured via IDDM ? Or could it be Athos through the backdoor of partnership and local assembly (like the K9 Vajra) ?

The original M46 had a problem with elevation - I think it has a max elevation of only 45 degrees or so. Not sure if Sharang upgrade has fixed it or if it retains this issue. This would create problems in mountainous regions where you need to clear high ridge lines and hit the leeward side.

So, they accuse us of the killing, and yet they want us to co-operate
They accuse us publicly and want to handle this diplomatically
