It is quite curious to see the gymnatics around Su30, Mig29, M2K but no extra LCA MK1/A versions are been bought. Cannot say that HAL is at fault, because those Su30 will be coming from HAL itself! Looks like IAF is indirectly accepting that it screwed up LCA's ASQR. They went with "Mig21 repla...

The reality of India, is most of us like freebies. Who wouldn't? When a rich city like Delhi votes on free water & electricity.. why blame others. The only thing people look forward on a budget day is .. reduction of income tax! Political parties in India are fighting for power... not to impleme...

If both parties behave the same way, then may be that's what the majority of the Indians want? You have to consider it as the fate of the nation.

Then it really doesn't matter who is in power.

nam

Unnecessary matham over the situation. The world did not end before the farm laws, it will not end after this. The objective is to stay in power. Not go on an ego trip. You break the ecosystem by being in power. You cannot fight for power by taking an uncompromising stance against who we want to kee...

What I really hope we get is S400 integration with Su30. Bars doing the TWS, sending data across too S400 and the missile is then cued using the datalink.

Something what F35 does with SM6.

You could have a S400 missile coming at you, even if one thinks they are not being tracked by one!

The Chinis are waiting for a 2024 gov change, where they can return to the good old "ignore border issues for trade" and "non-alignment". I hope more such news of PLA grabbing this, grabbing that come along. Need to make it difficult for any party in power to normalise the relati...

The 72 & 90 has proved that it can move around in Ladakh. But it's gun doesn't give confidence...which is what finally matters.

nam

We do have a GaN based radar in use. The QRSAM 4 panel radars on those truck are all GaN based. The S band radar created for A330 AWACS India was GaN based. The only thing missing from the lot is air borne X band FCR. X band land is already available. Saab did a tie up with BEL for the C band GaN sh...

nam

The chinis thought we will stop the roads, just like it has happened previously. They were used our habit of ignoring their activities. We assumed the chinis will go back after making some noise and a deal. PLA deployed in multiple location to prevent any Indian counter intrusion. This is why until ...

There is a video on this thread where the chief refers to MK2.

We can only hope. IAF is the one going to fight the war. They don't want to get cheaper options, nothing we can do. Only GoI can force them.

nam

I am not able to understand the whole issue with the rawl thing.

Where are the Indra radars? BEL Laos has a radar from a joint venture with saab. Even that is not used.

Really strange.

nam

Mk2 is not going anywhere. If we don't have money to buy 124 Rafale costing 150M each, would IAF have the money to buy 250 AMCA costing 150M each? That too with a 1 ton internal load out? The same problem will apply when Su30 needs to be replaced. How can you replace a jet costing 65M with 6.5 tonne...

nam

The simple fact is the Chinese goods use dollar to sell their goods to US & European market. That's one of the reason they have such a huge currency reserve. They had been buying lot of dollars to keep the Yuan low and use the dollar for trade. No US, UK or European entity is going to pay in Yua...

nam

oh, the biggest indicator that A1P is coming on a ship -> the cold launch.

nam

Dr Chander confirming our speculation that Agni 1P is a ASBM. The 2K KM range fits the distance from mainland to A&N islands. The fins and what looks like seeker window on the missile. And why would you create a composite missile if it is meant only for a land launch? There is no dearth of space...

Ukraine deployed UCAV to knock off artillery guns which killed a Ukrainian soldier. Imagine if we do this to PA on LC. No need to send in UAV, just invest in tech to pinpoint and use PGM. Cannon fodder is cheap, loosing artillery gun is not. https://twitter.com/GlasnostGone/status/145303732613796660...

A part of me just does not like to see India exercising with England/USA - let alone glorify it with cool pictures - stockholm syndrome it feels like... The Chinese were smart enough to choose the side which was buttered and ended up with a 16T GDP and worlds largest navy. It is time we learn where...

Mashallah, the nozzle looks very TFTA. We seems to gone for proper stealth. Wonder if there will similar attempts on AMCA nozzle as well.

nam

GOI is not being open about the poonch ops. It doesn't seem to want to escalate things and as usual the young men in the army will pay for this decision.

It could either be to divert us from an Chini op on lac/macmohan line or keep us away from Afghanistan.

nam

Wonder why ADE went with a 2 engine design, when Rustom 1 was the a single engine design. They could have built a larger Rustom 1.

Also looks like Army Aviation guys are already involved in the Rustom 2 project. Hopefully this should expedite user trails.

nam

More casualties in the Poonch ops. Sigh.

Another ops taken by enemy, where we are again caught off guarded. Despite preparing for 2 front, expecting more infiltration after afghanistan, we are again caught of guarded.

There will no response given the track 2 that is going on

nam

The air chiefs comment does give confidence in our military leaderships professionalism. Despite having the longest disputed border in the world, we are constantly surprised by enemy action. What would have been the situation if conflict had flared up in May 2020? Men would be fighting without cold ...

Demchok is the entry point in to Tibet. Indus valley is flat, where PLA would expect a air+land offensive from us.

nam

"help in managing the relation with India" means US should stop any response by India for terror attacks.

Not to mention Aim120D and Block 70.

I am fairly certain this will happen.

nam

I can see so many variant out of this. MALD type decoy, air & land launched 200-300 KM hovering drone with passive seeker to hunt down radar etc. Hope we are on it.. Edit: it will be used to simulate various RCS & IR signature. So it is not a random kit. It is a MALD type decoy. The key here...

Our artillery modernization is the biggest paradox for the pat 3 decades. Previously import was the only solution and the relevant making schemes blocking the deals. Now there is overwhelming local options Mahindra: M777 L&T: K9 BF: ATAGS, Bharat52, ULWH, truck mounted 105, 155 you name it OFB: ...

The South Koreans are the best on impact videos. This video tells you why artillery is and will be the God of war. Look at the coverage area.

nam

In terms of accuracy, we have PGK type kit in developed under the TDF project. In the meantime, we could actually get some PGK kit and see how it performs on ATAGS. We anyways have M777 and we know it will work with it. PGK is meant to mass, so it would more preferable to use it with ATAGS, Dhanush,...

Astra Microwave has bagged the deal to make the Uttam MK2 prototype. Private companies are now learning the trick to beat the DPSU in the "L1" business.

Things are slowly moving in the right direction.

nam

The report confirms what we have been saying here. The M777 gets position in to hard to get places, providing good protection and availability of firepower to the frontline troops. You could place individual gun on various mountain peaks, thus spreading them out, protected by the peaks. By the looks...

The one item left on the list is prosecution of UN designated terror leaders like the Hafiz boy. The only way out is PA bumping him off.. and I hope they blame us for it. Pak tried to convince FATF by sending the joker on a nice vacation in the prison until the meeting is done. But that has not work...

nam

For the PLA, given the open space they would prefer a SPH. However the drawback is exactly that: open space, easy to target by counter battery. It covers this drawback by using the truck to scoot after firing.

nam

The difference in the type of artillery used by IA versus PLA is dependent on the area of deployment. M777 is shorted ranged than 52 caliber cannon, however it can be deployed in places where a truck or SPH artillery cannot go. You can deploy it closer to the LAC, while a SPH would be further back, ...

nam

Army has called the journos for a visit to tawang. I feel PLA must have mobilised to carry out a similar adventure like last year in tawang.

The media display is to let the chini ambassador know that we r watching.

nam

If the role was reversed and we were under huge external debt, Pak would carry out frequent war hysteria to drive our economy to ground.

We in the meantime offer ceasefire and let Pak off the hook everything time they are on the verge of collapse.

It is not about the capability and we don't have to be US or Israel. It is about the intent. And there is no intent in Delhi to really punish Pak. When a MP was about to introduce a bill in Parliament, declaring Pak as a terror state, he was promptly "managed". We don't hear the bill anymo...

nam

So we will be held hostage to Pak blackmail later on? Everytime there is a terror attack and we want to respond, PA will just blackmail US to block access if India attacks. US will promptly send a "special representative" to Delhi to calm things down. :roll: It is much easier to manage thi...

Being resupplied and replenished while an ongoing live battle in my opinion qualifies as incursion into our country. Yahoos may also be receiving CasEvac and medical treatment - silence on any estimation of how many Yahoos killed maybe an indication of that. So all in all - this is PA entering Indi...

nam

You are assuming it is a single group. The forest covers the LoC so it is very much possible, more yahoos are coming across from PoK.
