Sir the bangalore -> jodhpur reference ~1500km. But 2000+ is just a bonus.

Are these numbers are not being released due to final** FOC?
Hope to see similar numbers being released at LIMA / Aeroindia.

few mango observations from the tender images - the gun bay has changed from below the intake to su30-ish - the canards look like the placement done in rafale-ish, just above the engine intakes - yes Jtull-ji, the air intake looks bent forward to me too. Can't say the S-curve - the stable configurat...

Of course the PR on the Gripen-E is going to claim it is the best aircraft competing in Finland. All PR shows for all competitors would be doing this and this is no reason or justification to treat this as anything beyond PR. The Gripen is yet to best the F-35 in a competition and bar the Swiss com...

Sweden says it built a Russian fighter jet killer - and stealth is totally irrelevant Sweedish upping their ante in a build up to Finland. By completely ignoring f35 DAS and EW and just considering it for its stealth. Gullible bronk prick, spewing anecdotes. I cant understand why massa can't strong...

Just to note, total 22 people work here as of now. Yess Saar! Plus it's sister company RNEL has filed for bankruptcy! Shame on this type of ladoo journalism, where you show just a single hangar as epitome of lastest and greatest manufacturing. Got to admit Dassault and boeing are really experts in ...

Don't want to nitpick but 'kharidne ki swikriti' literally translates into 'approval to buy' and there was no mention of 'DAC', it was 'We'. Yes got confused with DAC and cabinet/govt. Approval and sanction are different I think. No doubt mk1a will come but until ministry clears things, the heavy h...

gaurav.p

^^ The tejas reference is from ~42:00->43:00. He didn't say the deal is done. He just said that the DAC gave approval to buy 83 mk1a. They haven't been ordered YET.

^^ Ah, given the Israeli hate by malay. I would see the blunder taking a lead.

Countries whose head of state come to India and try teaching us secularism, might show it's true colours by showing the bias to the blunder and eventually stating cost arbitrage.

Vips-ji, %of GDP is a narrow way of looking at defence spending. In absolute terms it has increased. IMO our military planning is completely protracted, we want to give the forces the iPhones of warfare while we have the capability of micromax's. Let us also consider that the health spending of indi...

I am sorry but I don't understand this post. What is equivalence and de-hyphenate when you want the best small arm for the men and women. There is nothing technologically superior to an AK if reliability and ease of maintenance is required. Saar, forgive this mango for poor writing skills. :mrgreen...

Small arms ? What technical superiority ? Screwdrivergiri is a different question altogether India buying the 103 will lead to a situation of two enemies fighting with the same weapon and the exporter mints all the money.

The Russian MoD passed the ak-15. The videos of it are impressive. Is it on the table or just to much costly for even screwdriver-giri?

The ak203 from above comment just seems like a gold plated ak103 with hardly any value addition.
