What is the status of DRDO weapon locating radar? There were some nagging issues last I heard long back. Have we managed to iron those out?

Emirates is spending like a binge drinker in a pub--- with 100+ A380, 50+ B787 and 50+ A350.... just insane amount of capacity... I hope they got their capacity planning right--

Looks more like maintenance stair-frame.. I am sure they will have ramp stairs for the crews

I don't think your extrapolation for costs is valid. 1) I don't think Fincantieri has experience building defense ships of that tonnage. The Italian Navy even has problems with dry docking the Cavours. 2) They have no experience with arrested recovery either. A) From experience PoV: What experience...

I was blown away by this video--- I could have written reams on why I liked it-- but I created a new thread knowing very well--- that it might be IB4TL-ed but find sometime to watch it at-least once

Can we also track Carriers--- with wake pattern -- subsequent detection by Sea-Bouy -- Like Tsunami detection---

Using dispensable drone -- launched from safe distance --

Using dispensable remote naval craft--

Smoke and oil trails...

Yes, high time we have some nice HD videos which gives bird's eye view of the launch.

For acadaemic reasons alone,in manned spaceflight,there was supposedly an escape package for the crew module which could parachute the module in case there was a problem after launch.Cannot a similar device be designed for commercial sat launches to save the sats/mission package in case similar pro...

We should be able to do it... hiring foreign hands to raise a Sub handful meters from gateway of India is the biggest insult to the souls who are still trapped inside... and we spend billions on VVIP copters...... sorry for being emotional... couple of extra pegs may be..

"Plenty of nukes" need to go in the deterrence thread (where you should learn about credible minimum deterrence). Besides even if "plenty" means an increase from the current number of warheads and associated delivery systems, the AF will be the very last service to be impacted b...

We just need plenty of nukes as deterrent...we don't need to feed off multi-billion dollar military complex like US... no need emulate every possible weapon platform in the world and in the process losing the plot..

Any possibilities of INS Sindhukirti rotting in Vizag HSLcoming back to life or is it a total waste as well....?

member_20067

I just hope that no other collateral damage happened to other assets...one is damaging enough in a depleted underwater force. Going to sleep with a depressed mind

member_20067

so 18 sailors are trapped and many escaped ---? during the stay in the dock do the sailors remain in the sub? May be an weapon loading and unloading exercise going awry?

member_20067

so this is going to speed up acquisition of new lines of diesel submarine for sure.. at times.. I wonder whether the incidents are sabotage by external forces or weapons lobby

member_20067

This is going to be a total loss for a submarine which went through an expensive MLU recently. Whatever it is .. not a good news..

member_20067

damn .. it was upgraded recently

What is potential launch date for INS Aridhaman? End of the year? According to some reports it is currently going through out-fitting.

My intention was by no means to disparage our achievement but I wanted to highlight the technically correct statements---Some of the nations including Japan and Spain has built their carriers. That's all.

Japan is a special case --- their defense investment and political will was severely hampered by WW2 outcome
