1) The link I gives gives the actual cost not how much ISRO charged the users. So read again. 23 mil for vega is also the actual cost does not include R&D cost etc. 2) So? Israel has shavit why did they use PSLV? France is paying for vega but the main contributors are italians. If italy signs su...

I agree you are a novice. Read up on Smerch and the UAV russia had offered.

This takes the grand total of SMERCH launchers on order to 80 : Russia to deliver another 18 Smerch rocket launchers to India 38 were ordered in past . Add another 'additional' 18( as per this news report now so total is 56 ) not 80 . 38+24 were ordered earlier . With this 18 it becomes 80. I hope ...

The cost of PSLV is absolutely wrong. The GSLV costs around 36 mil. There is no way PSLV costs around 30 mil. http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2007/01/11/stories/2007011105861000.htm http://www.domain-b.com/aero/20070423_pslv.htm The links provide the cost of PSLV as Rs 80 crore in 2007 which is ...

Also Mig-29's and Mig-27's

ISRO, Astrium ink bilateral space cooperation pact in Paris 30 Sep, 2008, 1637 hrs IST, ANI PARIS: India and France on Tuesday signed a long term agreement for the Utilization of the Indian Polar Satellite launch vehicle for launching satellites. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/ET_Cetera/India_...

Stop posting rubbish like this junk. Pakis know their 3rd gen Jf-17 blundaar cannot match IAF and are shit scared so they will desperately try to shore up the sagging morale of their pathetic pilots and soldiers with lies like this. In 1971 Pak radio and generals kept announcing that they were troun...

C-17??? Why go for a costly system for which logistics will have to be built up from scratch. IAf will end up with IL-76 MF no matter what. 60 tonne payload meets IAF's requirements perfectly.

300 MKI's = 1200 pilots min. Add 126+64 MRCA another 400 pilots and if 200 LCA comes in to the picture 400 pilots for that too.2000 fighter pilots needed by 2020.

Serves them right for letting the taliban top leadership and paki army generals escape during the Northern alliances advance to kabul. But make no mistake...if US and west loose and flee from afghanistan Russia, India and Iran will have to come together again and destroy taliban and their paki breth...

J-11 is license produced with some russian components replaced by chinese ones.

Offsets? Keep dreaming. Nothing worthwhile will be transferred. Yes I have doubts that phalcons secrets are already with the chinks courtesy the israelis.

Might be right but still doesn't change the facts. US cannot be trusted in case of war.

And faced sanctions from US during the war while russia kept supplying us with weapons. If sanctions were that important, would it not have stopped them after 1965? Besides, the damage was already done. When the US supplied India LGB's to blast the TSPA from Tiger Hill in Safed Sagar, I'm sure we f...

To be used only for trainings and demos and not in real wars? Why don't we ask TSP what end user agreements these come with; after all they threw all the US weapons at us, not once but two times in 65 and 71. And faced sanctions from US during the war while russia kept supplying us with weapons.

Nirbhay is 1000 km rang to start of with. Secondly how much would a hypersonic brahmos weigh? Is it even required?

Unless Nirbhay range increases to 2000 km wouldn't they be overlapping?

What the hell do they mean scorpene 6 & 7? I thought only 6 were ordered. Another DDM? Though it would be interesting to see if 8 cell VLS can be added to the scorpene subs with indigenous fuel cell AIP.

I have to agree with vivek 80 Smerch is barely enough for out western border. We need atleast 200 for IA and hopefully the rest will be made up by Pinaka-II. With the chinks doing a echha copy of the Smerch and passing it onto the pakis IA cannot afford to sit quiet.

Why is nobody asking if french army will induct this missile?

Pity the PM is a spineless leader. Someone with more confidence would have pushed these EU retard on the backfoot by talking about the treatment of romas in italy and frenchies rules not allowing sikhs and muslims their religious freedom.

Too heavy for AAW role. This is where KS-172 with speed > mach 4 comes in handy.

Completely different applications.
Brahmos-2 : Deadlier Anti-Ship missile
DRDO: Reusable long range LACM
ISRO: RLV for sats.

Irrespective of PAK-FA or not, IAF needs MCA to be doubly sure.

MTA is a jet powered C-130 class. What we need to land on small strips in himalayas and other outposts are something like C-27 spartan. I would prefer if HAL-NAl made one based on RTA instead of buying from outside.

Not bad for a private venture but still costly compared to ISRO right? 185 km orbit is really low that would compete with the three stage PSLV. PSLV-CA launched a 350 kg AGILE into 550 km orbit for 11 mil if I am correct. PSLV lite (3 stage) will cost even less perhaps $ 8-9 mil which compares well ...

In the thick of the cold war when the two superpowers developed the maximum variants of weapons systems - we were holding Soviet hands and could only "choose" from what the Soviets had to offer at that time. And that is what we did. India did not have the option, culture or choice of aski...

They can trace my musharaf to cosy unkil land but doesn't change the fact that buying Ah-64D is basically subsidizing Ah-1's for the pigs. I hope HAl flies the LCH fast so both IA and IAF can settle on it.

Never heard IAF complain about the An-32 nor could the west really offer an alternative that would have let us buy 120 odd planes of that class.

I hope the stupid IA and IAF instead of buying apaches puts more time and effort on the LCH.

IAF will have to replace the HS 748's (50-60) and An-32's (100+) and 45 MTA's won't cut it. I hope the RTA morphs into a ideal replacement for both. 60 MTA + 90 RTA would be a good fleet for IAF along with IL-76 MF and Saras (dornier replacement).

Aah the chinese copy of smerch. Good think DRDO is going for longer range pinaka. Would be a clever move if the older BM-21 grads somehow ended up in the hands of BLA or TTP.

So SL army has Alkhalids?Any link about PAF pilots are flying SLAF jets.

Wiki mentions srilanka is looking to buy 25 of these junks? Any truth in the report? Why can't India provide upgraded T-55's (Project gulmohar) to srilanka, burma and afghanistan?
