pretty impressive, 1400 Mw, we only have a capacity of 7380 MW, We need to be atleast 50 x of these guys with locally designed units.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but in the ‘TOT’ will there be any know-how transfer on production technologies? Meaning automation methods, qc, robotics, etc? The reason I ask is, sure maybe the latest materials technology, etc. won’t be transferred, but is there anything lacking in manufacturing...

I would disagree that there is talent in GTRE to design a F414 class engine. Three seems to be a fundamental lack of basic research and applied engineering that is hampering their efforts to go to the next level. The lack of flying test bed is a red herring - that would come after they have reached...

I think we have to do 2 things, assemble and understand more about F404 and F414, keep the Kaveri going, buy tested aircraft to develop our own engine. I don't think assembly is a waste, but will it mean we can skip our own R&D- No. The Hot part of the engine and the single-crystal turbine blad...

Frankly I don't understand the debate about the yield of the Indian thermonuclear device. If it was 40 kt or 200 kt. How does it make any difference. Not many military installations on the planet can continue to function once a 40kt device has been delivered on it will near pin point accuracy. Not ...

Given the caveat that politics changes overnight and all the disclaimers, given the current situation, here are my predictions: 1. Pappu will become increasingly irrelevant in politics.

Pakistan allegedly has about 65 tons of gold reserves; that is worth around USD $3.7 billion. Maybe they can liquidate that. Assuming someone hasn't already looted the national treasury.

What worries me is the rumors floating around that there was signal interference. The accident spot is a mere 13 km from the sensitive DRDO ITR, ie some of the sensitive goods will be transported to Balasore.

We should at some point stop hankering for US visas. GoI should do even more to up education and research at home.
