Actually the report is rather pessimistic because as India develops economically, it will get rid of more of its price controls and subsidies that are holding various sectors back - this will free up more space in the finances, not to mention improved tax enforcement. There is even a possibility of ...

^^ LOL, At least they didn't all come to receive him with a "collection bowl" ready. The Premier's visit to Pakistan should be more interesting than his visit to India, especially the kind of "aid" he plans to dole out to Pakistan. I'm sure like Satan Claus, he will first check t...

Attribution of Responsibility In recent months, much focus has been on China–including both state-sponsored and individual actors–but Operation Hangover contains notable hallmarks of originating exclusively in India. We base this attribution with a very high degree of confidence on our extensive an...

The real achievement by NRL is not the sound signature of the UAV. The real achievement is the development of a compact light weight cryogenic tank and the use of hydrogen fuel cells in a UAV. Cost wise, hydrogen fuel cells are extremely expensive. And the cost of cryogenic storage and liquifying Hy...

Depends on what exactly "launch" means. Are they going to tow an empty tub out to sea or is the ship actually going to be sea-worthy and capable of independent propulsion ? The real milestone is the day aircraft are launched and recovered from this vessel while under its own power. Till th...

I have a query wrt MIRVs. What is the maximum spread (as in Geographical size) that MIRVs aboard a single missile can achieve ? I think that depends on the release height from the main bus and velocity that each warhead achieves on release. Also, other factors can come into play, like the kinds of ...

What does an Indian believe?

India destroyed bunkers in Chumar in return for Chinese withdrawal
or
No talk of scaling down Border Infra

The Chinese military PSY Ops planners couldn't have played it better if they had a crystal ball.

^^ Just like its performance, the Global Hawk price is superlative to say the least . Even Congress (US Congress) found the costs high and they never begrudge a multi-billion dollar white elephant. With the addition of a BAMS package to the Global Hawk platform you can be sure the price is only goin...

IN still has 7th position IMO behind US, Russia, China, France, UK & Japan. Till Vikram along with fleet of Arihant come into the picture, i don't see that changing. India is not even 7th if we are to talk about pure capabilities. The South Korean Navy would be up on the board as well in terms ...

Regardless of Chinese bravado now, by Oct-Nov those troops will scurry back to their base as "arctic gear" and regular supplies are not going to cut it in Winter in those regions. So there is a natural deadline to this circus. Let's hope the Indian Government will have the fortitude and th...

Please remember, my visit is not connected to these developments. This was scheduled well before this incident. It is to prepare the groundwork for Chinese Premier Li Keqiang’s visit to India on May 20 and also to touch base with the new dispensation. A host of issues will be taken up during my mee...

The best way to get rid of these "rats" is to treat them as such. Use poison. A small balloon/blimp launched 50-60mts upwind from their camp with a virulent strain of anthrax/microscopic radioactive nano-particles/ebola spores/weaponized botulinum etc could be used to deliver these spores ...

hello firangs and their lovers, pay attention to LCA a little bit. It requires strong support. LCA future versions can kick Eu butts. For this joy, none other than Indians can do it!. :rotfl: Yes, "future" versions will also have phasers, anti-matter torpedoes, a cloaking device and Warp ...

I fail to see the point of this useless purchase. India cannot trust someone whose entire defence lies in depending on US. India will not interfere in Japan-China spat.

Surely all this is HAL's fault only. GOI and IAF are only puppets in the hands of mighty HAL. Of course not! HAL is pure as the driven snow! How can HAL EVER be at fault ?? Even when IAF pilots fall out of the sky in that rickety bucket HTT-34, HAL cannot be blamed for the the failure of engines or...

Brando

Yeah and buying fighter jets with strings attached undoubtedly boosts the preparedness of IAF as was seen during Kargil. What strings were attacked to the Mirage 2000 used in the Kargil war or the Mig-21 that was shot down or the Mig-27 that had engine trouble ? Did the IAF stop HAL from building c...

I mean it's always a better idea to run in the middle of a war begging in front of foreigners to allow us to modify there aircrafts so as to carry out precision strikes than trying to make an aircraft all by ourselves which will result in our independence from foreign arm twisting.

Of the aircraft that entered the tender, and met the technical criteria, it was the cheapest option. Apparently it costs less than what it would cost HAL to deliver the HTT-40. So, maybe a Swiss Swatch, and not a Rolex :) The drop tanks must be because of the long range ferry from CH to IN. With ne...

Looks like the Indian government has bought the IAF Training Command a Swiss Rolex when all they needed was a $5 Casio .

Look at those beauties......External drop tanks ? are those standard on all "trainers" in the military ?

The planes that lost are not worse than the Rafale, just at that point in time the ones that lost did not measure up to the IAF processes. That is all. I'm sorry but that's the lousiest cop out I've ever heard! The IAF process measured these aircraft in over 600 parameters - let's not forget that. ...

why this obsession with scrapping of MMRCA? Because it's the only way I see of building up the IAF's strength quickly. This assumes that: a) American aircraft are "better". b) France won't be able to produce Rafales as quickly as the Boeing can produce SH. c) India has some pressing need ...
