India should start escalating both in diplomatic circles and via media, why the US is sheltering terrorists. Playing defense is not advisable, because the other side will keep probing and questioning. We will keep parrying and defending

1) 200 MGS with 105mm guns - this is clear. But doesn't say whether this will come up for the Nov 30 DAC meet 2) 400 towed systems - looks like this is in addition to the 307 ATAGS, for which the IA has already issued a tender. This is supposed to come for Nov 30 meet. Like we had discussed earlier ...

We seem to operate with some self-imposed "gentleman rules" that only we follow: 1) Surgical Strikes only if the loss of life is massive 2) Respect ceasefire 3) Don't target civilians 4) Don't attack pro-actively - only react The other side believes in total war since 700 AD. So, they warg...

One nitpick on Patents. Yes, we have improved by leaps & bounds. But the # of patents that we can grant in a year + the waiting time is still not upto par with China or the US.

Questions that Indian diplomats, Indian civilians, Media and NRIs must ask the U.S State Department and White House: 1) Did FBI protect a dangerous terrorist? 2) You claim that India is an important ally . If so, why are you nurturing a terrorist against India? 3) We have videos of Pannu threatening...

Prem Kumar

They are setting the stage for something else too: "If you don't stop, our Khalistani & Islamic assets will take out a HVT on your side" We must have the cojones to play the long, hard & bloody game. If the White Pakis escalate, there will come a time when it won't be just their as...

This is what happens if we say we know there are 600 jihadis in launch-pads but dont do anything about it. Sooner or later, we pay the price Modi's policy of 1 surgical strike per 5-year term is certainly inadequate Bumping off the perps by "unknown gunmen" 6 months later, while very welco...

Pannu is like Pappu - perfectly put! He recently threatened to blow up airplanes and warned people not to travel on WC Final day For the U.S to leak news that the FBI protected this guy is so terrible an admission of guilt that even the Pakis must be rolling their eyes! State Dept & the WH has ...

This is where Modi has err'ed, though its an error of omission He thought that the babus, generals etc would change colors by simply seeing how selfless their PM is That, by passing diktats like Atmanirbhar from the top, people will just obey He assumed that carrot-n-stick was not needed He thought ...

It has a 100 Kg warhead for a 380 Kg missile. Many unique features like special warhead, water-line impact, IIR seeker etc. A report said its small size/weight is an advantage because it can be deployed easily & in larger numbers on corvettes, OPVs, land-based trucks, etc. Given its range, targe...

The reason is works is because we are up against single-agenda voters. Our side will vote for anyone who gives more freebies

As someone tweeted (paraphrasing), If Modi/BJP had re-built the Babri masjid, they'd have the Muslim vote for perpetuity

Navy tests NASM-SR from a Seaking helicopter. All went well!

Prem Kumar

Yes, we all know the lethargy of the babu, services mix But this goes beyond that. Our private industry is also happy doing screwdriver-giri. It takes a top-down push in the form of PLIs to make them take Atmanirbhar seriously - otherwise, most of them have the baniya lets-mark-it-up mentality. Trad...

Our engine/powertrain ecosystem is a disaster. For a country with such a huge automobile industry, we still import 1000 Hp engines. Similarly, there was much talk about marine-Kaveri and that has gotten nowhere Just like National Semiconductor mission or Supercomputing mission, we badly need a Natio...

That tweet is confusing. Why is a Base Repair depot in charge of indigenizing the jammer pod?

Also, I thought DRDO has already developed an ASPJ. I think the reporter has mixed things up

Prem Kumar

Very pleasant surprise!! Wondering why the significant drop in range for the SLCM version (half that of the 1000 Km range of land launched Nirbhay). Length: 5.6m (Nirbhay is 6m). But here it says that the SLCM "cruise" length is 5.6m, presumably meaning that, its after 1st stage booster se...

Excellent interview. Dr Satheesh Reddy has info at his fingertips. Given the sheer volume of systems that have been developed & tested, hope each one gets inducted in large numbers. Can truly be a game-changer! In fact, even if DRDO stops all missile R&D for 5 years and only helps the indust...

Good going! The IA also tested swarm drones and automatic attack by loitering munitions in GPS denied environments (Ukraine war lessons) Nagastra-1 is a good buy but its payload of 1Kg can be improved. Need at least 8-12 Kgs warhead to defeat MBTs. Smaller warheads are enough for other armored vehic...

Nice gesture, NRao!

As someone said on Twitter, "unknown gunmen" are taking Narayana Murthy's 70-hr workweek advice seriously!

We have had successes in extradition/grabbing from UAE, Nepal, Thailand etc. But botched up the Mehul Choksi op. Hope we have assets in Qatar.

Manu Pubby reporting that the light tank developed by DRDO and L&T will begin trials by end of the year. Its not based on Vajra chassis.

God alone knows what's cooking on the MANPAD front

ANI News reports that DAC is in advanced stages of giving the go-ahead for Nirbhay (or Nirbhay-class missile) induction. No dates or commitment yet. So, take it FWIW

Loitering munitions & swarm drones are areas where the IA Aviation has shown good support for indigenous systems. But emergency procurements seem reserved for imported systems. Tapas is being given the cold-shoulder. And though the ADE deserves the bulk of the blame for inordinate delays in its ...

On cue, Pralay was tested a short while ago. Encouraging signs that induction is imminent

Look forward to the day that user-tests happen from their production-stocks (like Brahmos)

Lazy media reporting - which is par for the course Iron Dome is not even remotely comparable to Kusha, which is similar to the S-400. Not saying one is inferior to the other.
