Saurav Jha ‏@SJha1618 17h17 hours ago New Delhi, Delhi Orders for the WHAAP developed by @DRDO_India 's VRDE lab and Tata Motors may be placed soon. I read somewhere that IA has a requirement of about 300 of these, any truth to it? What must be their thought process? 100 for UN ops.. as BRDM's are ...

d_berwal

No they are not replacement of Tatra. These are for Army Supply Corps (ASC). Thanks d_berwal What was the ASC using before? ASC uses majorly following for supply transportation: (I am not putting tank transporters of AC) AL Stallion 4x4 Tata 715 4x4 Tatra 8x8 6x6 is a per say a new category for ASC...

the seat cushions and cabin of the truck appear to have burned...but the framework does not bear any sign of impact or blast damage a volley of RPG rounds would do...or maybe thermobaric version of rpg was used to set everything on fire.... There are two vehicles front one is TATA LPTA 4x4 and Seco...

d_berwal

there is so much similarity in thoughts of brar_w and Broadsword that it make me wonder how Gullible one is in such forums. (just my thought) does anyone else see the length b---_w is gonna go to prove India never demanded TOT or production of GE engines. LCA is ready but NO ENGINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! th...

d_berwal

@ brar_w why was LCA sanctioned by US and deliberately made to suffer in turn hurting Indian National Interest. http://www.defense-aerospace.com/articles-view/release/3/7623/sanctions-lifted,-lca-parts-now-available-%28nov.-29%29.html http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/us-sanctions-delay-firs...

d_berwal

@ Brar_w well US/EU tales 20-30 years for engine TOT negotiation till then what should India do? How many GE F404 have arrived in India? and the time take per engine per year to arrive in INdia? LOL see BFR now we have Brar_w saying engine TOT to india ne manga he nahi :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl...

d_berwal

Again, where is the question? You have made a statement that without TOT there would be no LCA mass production. If this is the official position of the MOD, and they are not satisfied with the deals they are negotiating then by all means carry out that "policy position". I am not aware wh...

d_berwal

@ brar_w bhai question ka reply karo... circle me mat ghamo.... answer dene me phati hai kay Without the engine TOT no LCA mass production!!! same as without the engine and transmission TOT for ARJUN no mass production!!! It is the US who had banned/sanctioned these projects (and also made sure EU b...

@ brar_w Without the engine TOT no LCA mass production!!! same as without the engine and transmission TOT for ARJUN no mass production!!!

d_berwal

The trucks are 4x4 TATA LTPA 713 and not Tatra what we see is an aftermath of IED + Multiple RPG's strike. The cause of immobilization is IED and not fuel tank explosion. With multiple RPG's in few min time vehicle would have caught fire irrespective of fuel tank. As per reports there were no IED's...

d_berwal

I don't understand why our Army uses unarmored 4x4 Tatras for personnel transport, they give no protection and are sitting ducks if immobilized and fuel tank explodes, which seems to have happened in this case. Same incident happened in J&K. The trucks are 4x4 TATA LTPA 713 and not Tatra what w...

@ RKumar Ka-226 received certification as mentioned in page 7 by philip. Journey to T version has taken time, that's acceptable to some and not to some. (very subjective and many of our own efforts with wast potential suffer the same delay) - Ka-226T Delay also coincides with our own delay in taking...

d_berwal

What are you on about? We're talking about a stopgap for to accommodate a ramp up of production at HAL. And I notice you conveniently pretend as if 'buy off-the-shelf' & 'buy Dhruv' options have disappeared. For sure some one is about stop gap of Indian security! Dhruv vs LOH/LUH has been discu...

d_berwal

Do you understand what 'stopgap' actually means? 12 years is not enough stop gap measures in your dictionary.. Let the whole IA/IAF/IN be a stop gap why not? There is no stop gap arrangement when it comes to security needs. Don't be absurd. What happens when they hit 50 units per year? Will it run ...

d_berwal

How it can be mature if certification is completed only in April, 2015? That itself can be disputed, and why a helicopter was allowed in the international competetion without national certification. link for your 2015 claims please It make me smile to read your argument that IA is so satisified wit...

d_berwal

1. Buy more Dhruvs as a stop-gap solution 2. Lease a batch of Ka-226/Fennec/407s for high altitude ops. 3. Buy a limited number of the above type off-the-shelf if leasing options aren't available. 100% agree lets lease the whole IA/IAF/IN The whole drama of IA/IAF/IN weapons requirements is solved ...

d_berwal

d_berwal sir, if we use 2 engines and 2 crew then why not use the Dhruv, which is better in every aspect. If really need the light one then lets wait for the LUH of HAL. Even Ka-226 is not a mature helicopter like the super duper new Russian tank. It is just coming out of design and people are goin...

d_berwal

Well Ka-226T if it happens does not sound like a bad deal at all. With India requirement of LUH type to be around 600+ There is enough space for HAL LUH when it comes up. Turbomeca is the common engine manufacturer for ALH, LCH, LUH and KA-226T a very conservative numbers if we put over the lifecycl...

Berwal-ji, isn't the AUCRT intended for precisely this - see how fast the spares wear out and stock them accordingly? If the Arjun's HSU didn't last long enough, why weren't spares ordered to avoid future problems? Clearly, they knew this was enough of an issue that a redesign was asked for and don...

I think you have already made up your mind that IA is worthless and does not know what they are doing any fact put in front of you is rubbish data.

Just some facts: ARJUN mkI will always had maintenance issues related to its HSU or RC (Running Gear), that is the main reason why MKII has a new HSU/RC (Running gear), since the design has changed AVADHI has not catered to spares of previous design HSU. Even in AUCRT HSU had problem and shuklajiii ...
