After field testing A-50, one of the IAF officials said that they would rather not have an AWAC in IAF than have to buy A-50

Pretty strong statement don't you think!

I think we'll see a global tender requesting RFP for 6 submarines pretty soon

Katare

I think IN's submarine arm needs more attention than any other arms but it is in shambles not because IN prefers surface ships over Submarines but its because political bull$hit over HDW deal and lack of international vendors with required technology in diesel submarine market. Also surface ships ha...

Sudip, I thought the author meant Sukhoi 30 in its 'K' version is infirior to 2k-5 with RDY radar.

I liked that ambulance thingy, wish they had a website where people can donate small amount of money or adopt an ambulance or something like that. Hats off to these folks for bringing basic amenities of 20th century to India’s largest metropolis!

Who said that printed images are needed for real time decision-making? :roll: Who said they are not using large video screen/projectors in IIV for real time decision-making? :roll: The printing may be only for record keeping or for any other purposes like for other small field formations without lar...

I don't think buying and selling decision depends on anyone’s discretion of these subjective matters. Arms purchases are governed by well laid out process and laws of the land. Unless one has logical reasons (like previous history of sanction or law fully blacklisted company etc) it would be cogniza...

The only consideration should be the reccommendation by the IN. The IN has said it should be the Scorpene and then why should the idiots in the defence and finance ministry second guess the navy's decision? There will be no submarine deal this year because of the Rs.10,000 Cr. CAPEX cut, and I doub...

Once a decision is taken, we'll be locked on with that sub/country for next 30 years. Which country/vendor would be able to survive the competition, provide us with better midlife upgrades, newer sensor technology and long-range weapons in next three decades? Also which country will add most to the ...

HDW recurs, Navy fears modernisation delay

Shiv, I replied you in detail on the lines of that I was just trying to make a point and am aware that pilots have not only weight but height limits too and I shouldn't have used word fat. But the post got deleted during last hacking episode and I am not feeling like typing it all over again. Anyway...

What is it Daulat? Book?

VLS allows firing in any direction with no effect on range and that is the most important advantage of VLS IMHO. Everything else needs multiple units and support hardware to provide a 360' coverage.

Katare

What if we have a fat/big pilot? Payload goes to zero? Than they must have a weight limit for pilots like horse jockeys?

20-30 Kg just doesn't make any sense to me whatever be the altitude.

Katare

Even at high altitudes, the Chetan can take an additional weight of around 30 to 40 kgs â€” this may not seem like much but when compared to the earlier 20 kg payload â€” the advantage is enormous! Is there a zero missing in these figures? 20Kg of payload sounds DDM to me? A pilot can be havier tha...

This is good news and good business strategy by HAL, having a family of products makes it easier for you sell one of them. A three-engine medium/heavy copter in next 10 years will complete the circle for HAL in this category.

Once you been there all by yourself (ALH/LCA) you are more confident and can get there again much quicker (Chetan/IJT)

In the light of comments by Iranian minister that cost of piped gas to India would not be cheaper than LNG, I don't understand need for land pipeline. Anyway, since Bangladesh is playing ball I think we would have plenty of gas coming from east for now. Also, god forbid, if Bangladesh looses its tex...

SureshP, It is a myth that govt subsidizes any of the petro-product to its citizen on a net cost to govt. All govt does is first charges inhumane taxes on all petro-products pushing the cost sky high and than uses that same tax money to subsidize and even cross subsidize selected products. If taxes ...

Controlling iraq's oil production is almost like a subsidy. Its money out of pocket on one hand for high oil prices and money back in from tax cuts.

Although I also think that Bush c...

Iran offers India 20% stake in oilfield Technically this deal can't be qualified as "stake sale" because ONGC will have to buy this crude on market price and it'll earn a fixed rate of return (more like interest rate) on it's investment. The crude oil deal could best be described as long ...
