Admiral, ASRAAM is an IR guided missile. Why would it need to talk to the radar? My bad Sirjee. I assumed that was the issue. Perhaps someone else can advise why the Russians are putting up an opposition. Not all IR guided missiles are close combat missiles The Russians during the cold war had an R...

quick question - why not this be used in MK1A, why use Uttam version 1.0? The first 20 is 2052, from 40th LCAMK1A it is Uttam. This is at least 3-4 years away from delivery. Maybe there can be space for a small (Rafale sized) - Optronics? The maturity curve for the Uttam Mk1 is 5 years ahead of the...

A post by former GM of ICF. http://anindecisiveindian.blogspot.com/ He says there is no reason why cast wheels should not be preferred for passenger coach wheel sets as opposed to forged wheel sets. Of course he doesn't quite explicitly assert that but confines himself to merely criticising that th...

Agree, "global mobility of talent" I keep hearing often from our otherwise excellent MEA Jaishankar always sounded dissonant to me. We need to transition to "becoming a global magnet of talent" mentality in the next few years. When talented students or high skilled workers queue...

UN SC vote against us for what? And if at all India takes a very aggressive posture, it would be to defend itself.

Thank you to all. Excellent post Admiral-ji I dare say you have redeemed yourself after the shameful Akula mithai betrayal episode. :rotfl: I will not paint all NRIs with a broad brush, but I see a number who adopt the second strategy.

Again, it is not Indian policy to sit in judgment over how other countries choose their leadership. Not sure I can agree with that statement.

Most likely scantar from Delhi will be reused after retirement and will likely be fitted into Shivalik or P-15As during their MLU.

Honestly not a bad design choice even if the capabilties do take a hit , Over the next two decades many air forces will need legacy fighters like F-16 ,Mig-29 etc replaced and China can fulfill a very real need while building up their export capabilities and influence .The JF-17 Blk3 and J10 could ...

... Hence, given the above, my significant concern is while we have done a lot, the sheer shortage of budgetary resources is severely limiting our options.

Garus - how does the J-10 family compare to the Tejas variants? The JF-17 is clearly an inferior light fighter (although the PAF was correct in its decision for large scale induction). But the J-10 family is China's chosen multirole fighter just like the Tejas will be our dal chawal fighter down the...

The 21 Mig29 will be the least useful investment at the moment (maintenance post 2035 will be headache) . Ideally 50 Rambha + 54 Raffles + 20 more Mk1A will set us up for future for a long time.

In light of the difficulty faced by air forces in maintaining fleets that are out of production, it seems the IAF needs to be commended for the serviceability and use of the mig21.
