One hopes that it gets the opportunity to realize it’s potential by destroying the PAF within the coming few years.

Sorry but I respectfully disagree - that title is reserved for the Tejas! MKI can be second best.

Vivek K

^^^^+108! and the Tejas is better than even the MKI for us.

Aaarghhh!! Lahaul bila kuat!!!

Vivek K

If India is to be a power - domestic MIC MUST be propped up. These are wonderful developments. And serial development will make them world beaters. Place orders for these NOW! Forget year long trials - someone will introduce a faulty shell and the barrel will burst. Instead, deploy these now. And in...

Vivek K

Great accomplishment - shows what domestic MIC can deliver! Need to export this beauty!!

Vivek K

Can this attack have been carried out by someone that wants to keep the US in Afghanistan? Will the US finally take down the real culprits - Pakistan, Haqqani Network?

Vivek K

I think there will be retaliation. I hope they target Pakistani targets as well. This is really sad and I simply cannot understand this lust for violence and killings amongst a group of humans. Makes me wonder if there will ever be peace and re-conciliation with them.

[sigh]Groan[/sigh] Will you finance it? 4 more? I would probably puke for 52 weeks if that were to happen.

No more imports after the current orders are complete. Focus on Kaveri, MK2, AMCA and a private competitor to HAL.

Vivek K

Build your own - steal from the scorpene design and incorporate tech gained in Arihant. Don't lust for unobtainium - India needs to become stronger NOW.

Vivek K

Agree - HAL needs to ramp up - but orders need to be forthcoming too!

A proud moment indeed!

Vivek K

Question should be - empty weight of NLCA minus the testing kit. Maybe IR can shed some light?

Vivek K

What baloney! Glad he was put in his place by HVT Sir!

Vivek K

Nash this is fantastic news. Kudos to the Indian Navy for this decision. @ Vivek_K, this is your moment to celebrate Sirjee :) Absolutely! Good sense is prevailing it seems. Godspeed the NLCA. Great moment for India. Please no lifts on IAC-2 bigger than NLCA/TEDBF!! Some Chanakya has saved us! Than...

Vivek K

2. At least two senior Naval officers whom I spoke to in Kochi have said that the indigenous Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter (TEDBF) based on the successful Tejas-Navy prototype should be a priority, not necessarily the Rafale or Super Hornet . Amen!! 4. There is the stealthy Advanced Medium Combat ...

Vivek K

Really? We can find money for imports that are "proven", not for domestic. If assembly lines are not churning out products, that will lead to losing talent - no one will sit around waiting for "promised" orders coming in 10 years. Holier than Pope? Or Holier than thou? Atamnirbha...

Vivek K

It appears like you are incapable of debating without resorting to sarcasm, mockery or ridicule of anyone who disagrees with you. Definitely not the intent. But when you equate Indian industrialists with Dawood, you set yourself up for sarcasm. And you need to have an open mind to debate. You are c...

The quality of ganja that is sold is Pakistan is truly 100% certified. It is pure and organic.

If goyal's airline sank, good riddance. They just could not hack it. Wow! Cool eh! KFA, JA.... Here today, gone tomorrow. Sab chalta hai. More chai biskoot? the owner is running a private enterprise. Tax payers don't figure in the equation. Profits are corporatized and losses are socialized which i...

Vivek K

When KFA was running, it was the best damn airline in India. Really? I thought Mallya was a criminal because he got a loan from his Chacha the politician without collaterals and ran away with the money. It provided excellent and often unmatched services that were driven by mallaya's ego for perfect...

Vivek K

this does not mean that industrialists in India get a free pass. You mean like VG Siddhartha got a free pass? Does any industry in India get a free pass? I don't know your background - but have you been in the trenches running an industry? If you need money, put up the collateral and take loans wit...

Vivek K

And none of those owners are in jail or fugitives from the law despite those failures. Only Mallya is. Should tell you that you are barking up the wrong tree here trying to defend him. Mallya isn't in his current predicament because of anti-industrialist mindset of Indians. He committed a crime and...

Vivek K

Funds diverted and spirited out is illegal. Under invoicing, over invoicing and padded operational/logistics expenses are not usual business methods. A simple and honest case of business failure is not only understandable but also acceptable. Even this will lead to legal and personal financial cons...

Isn't that incorrect India - 467 million at the end of July? Or are you comparing people with single doses only?

Vivek K

We (GOI/IAF/MOD/DRDO) cannot pay lip service to the turbofan development. It is the missing piece in the Indian MIC. It is something so vital for national security that stealing tech should be resorted to in order to get this off the ground quickly. Failure to recognize its importance will keep Indi...

Vivek K

Many of us are in the salaried class. The problem is the person(s) who takes risks to start and keep a business running. Then hiring and keeping talent of the salaried class so they can harness their creativity. Everything in the Indian economic system is stacked against those who want to grow and ...

Vivek K

Raghav - you're making assumptions. Let's use facts. I am a salaried person and let's leave it at that. I have seen the Indian system up close. We need to make it easier for more people (like yourself) get the opportunity to be "job creators". Some are destined to fail - failures are not u...

Vivek K

Self Deleted! Of no use to the discussion

Vivek K

Admiral sahab - you're fighting hallucinations. F-16 is a non-starter. But IAF will prevail - even if it flies bisons because of superior training and tactics. A couple of PAF's pilots may score victories but overall the fight will be tilted in India's favor. Salaam to your support of swadeshi! That...

Vivek K

Again - stop with defending your lobbies! Defend swadeshi!

Vivek K

IMHO this is a standard practice the world over when inducting new aircraft - civilian or military.

Vivek K

Agreed, but that still does not take away from the fact that the MiG-29K can land and take off - from a ski jump - with Kh-31s and/or Kh-35s. The video evidence is pretty clear on that fact. Maybe a silly question - but is the a/c in the video carrying dummies weighing less than the actual missile?...

Vivek K

Rakesh - you're making planning sound more difficult that it actually is. Remember, Chinese aggression has not slowed down. How long can we hide behind the excuse of we're Chankiyan or like that onlee? Some day our work culture has to define professionalism and we need to reach the finish line first...

Vivek K

He is probably saying that irrespective of what i am capable of driving the other guy driving a Mercedes doesn't have the means for it. By this logic even a beggar should be able to drive a Mercedes if he can con the banks ( come to think of it this sounds like the reverse of left ideology where ev...

Vivek K

Rakesh - I am extremely disappointed that HAL has not delivered even 50% of commitment. Look at the post above questioning further developments. Is that what we want? We want HAL to be better organized. It may be time to consider what options are available to achieve that. Or else we will never have...

Vivek K

Look - screwdriver giri or not, HAL has been here before. It has manufactured the Marut from scratch, the Ajeet from the Gnat, and license manufactured Migs, Jags, MKIs - the latter with deep TOT and a domestic supply chain. HAL must look at this and learn to be better or else it will strengthen the...

Vivek K

So you’re saying- if I’m not able to drive better than a Maruti, why should someone else drive a Mercedes? Shows our small mindedness. And again - you’re trying to have it both ways by deliberately linking the promoter to a corporation. You want the promoter to invest (till he dies) in the corporati...
