Yes, it is a new design. However HAL's Naval LCA has shown how to do this and the experience gained from NLCA is very valuable for Twin Engine based navy fighter. I have full faith in HAL to go about this task and show India that it is quite capable of building such fighters for the Indian Navy. Ag...

ORCA was an IAF boondoggle to sink the TEDBF. So IN and higher-ups realized fast and decoupled it. The reason is the nation cannot afford three fighter plane programs for IAF: Tejas Mk2. AMCA and ORCA. Makes more sense to order 114 TEDBFm (2x 57) for IN and rotate the squadrons on carriers and stat...

asbchakri

All three variants share a common airframe and a common mission system, the differences between naval and land versions being mainly limited to the undercarriage and to the arresting hook . [/quote] So in that case our TEDBF can also be converted as such (ORCA). Last I heard it was still under cons...

I agree that there is not much we can do but speculate on what really happened. There are only 2 scenarios here Accidental ============= This is the official version, 1. If the missile detonated and destroyed something, fine I don't care 2. If it is not mated with a warhead and did not detonate, I d...

Really worried about a border state like Punjab ending up in the hands of AAP. That took away the joy of victory in other states. I agree with you Dilbu-ji somehow I was not that happy even after We won 4 out of 5 states. I was hoping for a Hung in Punjab if not, a congress win (with a sad heart) w...

It's not only in the naming, ADA / HAL is also doing themselves a great disservice by sending only the AF single seater to airshows. They should be sending a twin seater AND an NLCA also along with the AF single seater. This way we'll be able to showcase how the LCA program is a comprehensive fight...

asbchakri

The naming ought not to be focussed on the characteristics of the aircraft, but on its capabilities. 'Light' is a characteristic that doesn't do justice to the capabilities of the platform itself. We sorta continued that trend with AMCA , but ORCA seems more aligned to the capability-based naming. ...

yeah but, please correct me if I'm wrong, the problem now is Rafale is flush with orders close to 150 +and it will take them nearly 7 years to complete those. Even if we place the orders now we will not see them until the end of this Decade, unless they prioritizes our orders over others. FWIW....s...

I understand you cannot fire them, but guess the only thing they can do is transfer them them to a ministry other than one with national security at risk. But I agree with you that is not as easy

asbchakri

If that is the case why not the PM or RM do anything about it. Is it beyond their sphere of influence. I do not understand this, I've been hearing a lot about this bureaucracy issues, is it that difficult to keep them in line.

asbchakri

So a question, it says here the IA only spent only 40% of its capital budget this year and it may have to return it if it does not place orders. So what happens to this funds. Has this affected in the decrease of its budget?.

I believe boats of that size in big numbers best suite the Indian CG, not for Indian Navy.

Also the P-8 comes with 11 hard points for armaments of various weapons, will the C-295 also be fitted for the same, may not be 11 but a smaller number?

The Russian missiles boats of the Caspian sea flotilla that fired cruise missiles against ISIS would be the smallest sized ships ..Those were from 2 seperate classes. One was under 500 tons.

IN unlike IAF is currently operating only 1 type, the Mig29. I do not think it will be an issue for them to operate one more new type given the options.

So they have ended Hamara Tejas at 8 episodes because of the tragic Helicopter crash where we lost our late Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Gen Bipin Rawat and others. They will release the last 2 episodes they already shot in Season 2.

It looks like they are also planning for an attack variant in the same class as the Apache.
