The pump jet technology the french are dangling is not a big deal, For surface craft it has been in use for 60 years. It now powers fast ferries with a BHP of over 25k giving them a surface speed of 30 kts Yes there will be differences using this model on a submarine however they will be design twee...

I agree with shukla on this one.
The scrapping of the BMS Project will be a shame. Time to let the grunt call the shots.
After the 155 art guns this should have top most priority.

Musharraf is a wanabe politician now. He was and is a slimy character who ditched his own soldiers when his plan went phatt at Kargil.

the physical dimensions of the LCA as originally specked by the IAF were such that they could fit in the existing hardened structures that were built for the Migs The SEF candidates are larger than the LCA or Mig 21's so there will be additional costs when they join our forces as far as ground struc...

India scraps SPIKE deal gives development of a manportable ant tank missile to RDO, With an approx. timespan for development 3-4 years.

Accuracy of above to be determined.

P&W are testing a turbo fan engine with a gear box that decelearates the compressor from the turbine, with an estimated 15% gain in efficiency The reason for reducing the the compressor is the fan tips are have an angular velocity greater than the spped of sound , which causes issues with compre...

Mr Shookla only talks of the LCA Mk1A not the MK2 that is what the IAF requires in nos 200+ Hopefully they can get the 2 flying soon.

These are not military personnel, International conventions do not apply. Our population is short of donated organs, these personnel before death were young and in peak physical condition. Not only should we donate the organs but the reciepants should thank Pakistan through media outlets for sending...

These bodies of our enemies should be donated to medical colleges or even better army medical training centres.
or do what the Chinese do and use their body parts for transplants to help our population.

In one of the graphics they show the requirement for air which is then refined to oxygen, The submarine when submerged has a limited supply of air so for a 10 to 12 day propulsion package where are you getting the air. (ballast tanks?)

AMCA is coming in two variants a stealthy version with no external hard points, and a semi stealthy with external ordinance.
So part of what is being wished for is already being planned. I cannot post a link as I do not remember where I read it.

Hi Manish sharma Larger engines have a governor, which now a days this is electronic, It controls a selonoid which controls fuel depending on factors like torque, rpm and exhaust gas composition. to name a few parameters. I am flying by my pants here but FADEC in a gas turbine could do this and more...

You need a copper band as it is softer than steel and will reduce barrel wear. I would expect this band to be shrink fitted on the steel shell. to prevent galvenic corrosion. the shell could be machined with a groove, which is then filled with a compound like Belzona which is hard and inert. The bel...

There was some issue with bribes with respect to the Embracer procurement. Maybe that could be why we are hesitant to procure more , Unless it is a MII project.

Eric Leiderman

We might not agree with the F16 and Gripen. However It seems to be a done deal. Hopefully the Gov with help fm ADA and DRDO should concentrate on modules that the LCA currently imports (I do not mean engine or radar) and get the vendors to set up in india for these items, With a clause that they wil...

There is an advantage to the single engine fighter deal , namely when the AMCA comes on line we have some sort of infrastrutcure and technical hands so that a private line can be launched alongside HAL line, Hopefully that is written somewhere in the contract if and when it is signed.

The C295s is a platform that is in service now with many variants. even though both the C295s and An-132D have comparable payloads and engines etc. The cost factor might be higher for the 295 (and I am guessing as I do not know comparable costs) The time factor evens it out. Also how far down the li...

Eric Leiderman

We have to go for a single engine fighter as a back up to LCA production issues. There WAS insufficient political will for the LCA to blossom. in a very critical time phase. Things are moving now but we have lost 5-7 years, we should have had a couple of LCA sqds in place by now, even with limited c...

EMALS does not cost 1 billion $ each you will most probably get 2 or 3 for that amount , The power plant for an Aircraft carrier is huge the average power for e-mals operation is minuscule compared to that, The peak power is another issue and can be adapted using capacitor banks etc. Any power plant...

Hoping that within the next 5 years the army will get the go ahead to buy 2 squadrons of LCA for CAS duties.( With the F35 CAS is getting a new meaning compared to the warthog.)

As I have said before the diesel /steam to electric tech is available off the shelf.

How about naming writing an open letter to PM asking him to name Santipath (the road in N.Delhi where Chinese embassy is located) as Dalai Lama Road. Would be hilarous if they had to change their letterhead to reflect same.
