what is the logic of Dhanush? a nuclear capable ballistic missile with 250 km range? the article also says that the missile was tested by SFC .that means it has to be used for nuclear strike only. what is the target? CBG? but 250 is too less. the article also says that the missile has already been ...

Can some one tell me what Indian participation will amount to 50% ? Are the Russians lacking in a specific field where Indian expertise can add to.

I'm looking at the Mi-38 which is comparable to the EH-101 and thinking it is the right time to talk joint production with Mil Corporation. Use the Canadian engines due to better after sales service and parts, FADEC controls, etc. Get the Israeli & french to enhance the operation and function of...

And we have INDIA where women are completely objectified, pushing for integrating them. And you think what will the outcome of this possibly be? I'll leave it to yo...

Seen some of the pix onboard the ac and the text or information on the controls, etc are all russian. Is it going to remain that way or when will the Indian Navy change them. Are all or most of the naval personal onboard fluent in russian?

I compared the specs of the Mig-25 vs Su-30MKI and they are relatively similar. Why don't we setup a specialized squadron of Su-30MKI specifically modified with high altitude sensors & systems. flying at 55,000 feet and armed with the K-100, it should be able to take out a satellite.

We seem to have hit rock bottom with this submarine fiasco. The Navy's inability to hit the panic button is detrimental to the security of the country. Unfortunately this can only be resolved by buying off-shelf. Mazagon Docks like the other government ship builders are completely incompetent at ass...

I think the question is how many Indian pilots have been practicing landing on the carrier. This report states that the Indian pilot was piggy backing and did not state that he was the one who landed the plane. Indian pilots may have practiced on US carriers, but how many have transitioned to Vikram...

Don't you think the missile could be further validated by Russia placing a few orders? Haven't heard a whisper in regards to that. If the Brahmos is so good, then quality will triumph over range. What use is a 7 ton, 500 km Granit ASM, when you can only target enemy ships a few 100 kms away.

Damn it. we need airborne brigades on the mountainous chinese border. Quick reaction is pertinent to modern day combat.

I don't believe it is lack of trying, it is failing to failure to replicate success. What we are seeing is that Indian engineers are able to create or innovate based on the vast amount of freeware knowledge available. Where they are failing is the ability to build on what they've created, to sustain...

The Ka-31 cannot stray beyond 100-150 kms from their mothership, also helis cannot fly at AWACS altitudes so their coverage areas are comparatively smaller. The kamov also has an endurance of a couple of hours. The Ka-31 is not the perfect naval awacs solution, it barely suffices the requirements. W...

satellite surveillance systems are very hi-tech, primarily taking pictures every second & comparing them or using SAR radar to get the same results. This expensive technology is used primarily for military/espionage and they do not use it for such trivial purposes. Is there any other details on ...

Great post (like always :) )! IMO, it is surprising that the IA would just abandon INSAS (<15 years in service) for something else. Instead of working with the DRDO, OFB, and unit armorers to better the standards and improve the rifle further (INSAS mk.2/3/4/5 or JV), they are going back to imports...

For the Navy, it seems they try to avoid seeing threats from a country specific view point. If the U.S can send the flotilla into the Indian ocean during the 1971 war any such threat can emerge at any time. Arming diesel subs with Brahmos seems to be a very defensive approach to counter any Navy th...

Please refrain from discussing the Gripen or F-35. I bet it's make a lot of us folks nervous. I believe that the IAF has made the right choice, for the final contenders and we need to move forward with them.

Diesel Submarines armed with Brahmos missiles --------------------------------------------- I do not understand the rush behind arming every platform with the Brahmos missile.

What will happen if all the numbers gets obliterated in battle? How will the army account for that tank or vehicle?

In the US, all vehicle number plates are embossed, so even if the vehicle is charred beyond recognition, the number plate is still visible.

I saw a iaf Mi17 today morning and it struck me that not withstanding khan posturing, it really is a better design for a army helicopter than the SH60. my reasons. - using the rear ramp you can load a jeep or 105mm gun, the Sh60 can only sling a load which may not be possible in high winds and sure...

The Rustom design is a slim/slender 'cranked arrow' delta wing and the load bearing position of the wings are to the aft of the fuselage. This design with canards may be an elegant design.
