George J The person I talked to was an airforce pilot, i don't think it would be appropriate to give his name on the forum. He said they are planning on the MMR but if they are going to choose an off the shelf radar it will clearly be an AESA. This was all when he was explaning how the LCA has under...

Paul,
The Brahmos guy didn't really know much about the Amur deal but they have been displaying the underwater launched system on the Amur for quite some time now and his choice of words indicated that Amur is the likely the next submarine for the Navy.

Alo NO T-72/BMP-2 has an upgrade package..even the recent exercise conducted by IRAN had upgraded T-72S.

Shiv i presume the army is following the trend of the IAF. The sudden increase in PR activities of the army has been related to improve the recrutiment standards of the armed forces following the chain of news regarding fall in standards. There was a similar exhibition in Delhi some time back if i r...

Just a question does the VLS have any affect on the acoustic signature or the mobility of the submarine. Though the VLS looks fully integrated and streamlined with the hull but is their any issues regarding weight distribution. IMO Amur with VLS is the only unique SSK offered to us if infused with i...

When there is a cas-evac situation only the pilot is manning the helicopter. The weight carrying capacity given at high altitude of which is actually 10-30kg depending on the weather and altitude is comprised of two personell.

Harry posted on keypublishing that diameter of MMR is around 650mm compared to 624mm for the Zhuk-ME. Hope he can shed some more information regarding this, i am not radar expert myself.

Katare if you even reference back to BR you would find on the following page http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/Aircraft/Specs/index.html LOH was supposed to have a 200kg payload capacity, which was itself 3 times more than cheetah at 18,000 feet. In siachen they need to fly higher at times. Therefor...

Those helicopters are not used for re-supply, for that you stock up supplies during summer times as well as paradrop necessary supplies which can later be picked up using snow-moblies. Already mentioned major requirement is for casualty evacuation both day and night and extreme weather condition. Th...

Katare they are not missing a zero. The actual payload given around 20-30kg is normal for flying altitudes over 20,000 feet. The payload capacity decreases considerably at high altitude and even lesser during summers. The Mi-17 which can't operate at these hights but lesser around 14,000+ feet has a...

Don't know if it has been pointed out before the IDS site has a T-80 on the top banner..

Nopes all it mentions is enhance reliability, flight safety and operational capability. I wasn't interested to know more, not much time to see everything at the airshow. I guess its more to do with navigational aid package and other tit-bits on the lines of upgrades for helicopters and jets. Abhisham

:D Did you see the video cy_baru the cockpit looks so impressive. And one more thing somewhere in the middle of the video it talks about ASW varient of ALH as well.!! There are some other stuff i need to go through but none of it pretains much to indian equipment. Hopefully i can find something else...

Well Cy_baru should by now be putting up the ALH video.

well was going through all the stuff i collected at the airshow and i found a ALH dhruv corporate video by HAL. It is a 154mb file with lots of tit bits about the Dhruv. Even the cockpit has been picturized very well. They show the Dhruv conducting quite a few manouvers and the different variants av...

Vignesh yea i went to the MBDA stall and tried to nail that gora fellow. In the end he still stuck to the thing that ASRAAM is better. Though he did acknowlege the fact that R-73 can turn corners better but with loss in energy whereas ASRAAM takes a larger route but with a much faster speed. Then he...

Airshow was not so dissappointing as shown in the articles and stuff. ALH were superb couldn't beleive my eyes at first with the red and the peacock pait scheme it looked quite nice. The best was when the ALH took a steep vertical climb and then almost stalled at 80 degrees or so and did a cartweel ...

Prakram 2 was a nice reminder to one and all that war is not just about force mobilisation and logistics; it requires the right conditions for it to succeed. Success obviously in this case is not merely an advance on the LOC or some manouvering space when the eventual ceasefire occurs. Parakram was ...

One thing really amazed me was the finish quality of the machine. I mean check out the grills on the engine and other fine details. Looks like a world class equipment. Feel so proud. Anyways any idea when we gonna see the armed version of ALH rolling out or we already decided on the LCH?

Last paras regiment i saw was using the AK-47. As of now i have yet to see the foldable butt insas in service anywhere. When i asked the officers about it he didn't even seem to know about it. So my best bet is that its either in trials or been rejected in favour of AK-47. But good news is that when...

Sachin I am quite sure about the firing pin. Its quite rugged atleast on the rifle i used it was. So IMO the problem could with the maintainence of the rifle. About the zeroing of the sights i really would have to go check on this. I cann't say something for sure now. But i am sure the situation won...

ok here goes -AFAIK the problem about jamming was related to the quality of the bullets. Thats what the general openion i got from the officers. Not only the INSAS even the HMG and LMG have problem with the rounds. As a matter of fact 7.62mm rounds for the Dragaunov are specially imported. In cold c...
