This is typical of GoI. Get sucked in to Pak aman asha cycle and when a terror attack happens, Pak blames it on "non-state" actor, which it doesn't have control on :roll: Then some nation acts as a go between and the aman asha cycle repeats. Now I am convinced there was a track 2 going on ...

IAF is thanking for the product support. Any design issue/software issue would have to be resolved by ADA, which spare parts issue by HAL. It is good to see IAF acknowledging that fact product support is good. This is more important than the fighter itself. Otherwise we will end up like Arjun , whic...

I guess there are 21 of them in Sulur, that is 66% of the fleet in air.

Shows the good availability levels maintained.

If GoI really wants, it has the way and means to increase buying of the firepower mass. Defence service, banks, DPSU all come under GOI. GoI could arrange for a sovereign loan from the banks or a local bond for Indian citizens to fund a major buildup of kit. What we need is numbers from local indust...

F404/414 are a concern, but not an major issue. GE engines are highly reliable, so you just pre-order lots of them. In the worst case scenario, we will have enough numbers to maintain the fighters for a while. When Iran can do it, why can't we.

Needless to say, we must invest in our own engine.

nam

We have 2 type of adversary. One where money & resource is not a problem and another one a beggar with nothing to loose :roll: We have to defend ourself from attacks from the beggar and incursion from the rich. At the same time grow our economy. Cannot go to a open war with the beggar or with th...

nam

Yes they are. It is given we have similar videos. But then our "whiter than white" attitude to not hurt our enemies feelings means, I have not much hope it will be released.

Regarding the Chini videos, it is part of the game. We need to learn to provide counter narratives.

nam

What about the video of PLA retreating early this year then?

nam

Chinis have formed an agreement with Bhutan to "resolve boundary issue". This must be to show to the world that they are quite "benevolent" on the boundary issue and it is not it's fault. Chinis are up to something on LAC. The probability of conflict on LAC is much higher than Ta...

nam

Our most important card against China is IAF. The second is Artillery arm. Unfortunately both these arm have been heavily degraded. Either from politics, MoD nonsense or service's own issues. Chinis cannot win as long as IAF is around. We know it, they know it. PLAAF will try everything under the su...

I was right. those are F35 on USS Carl Vinson https://twitter.com/USNavy/status/1447940419321569282/photo/2 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FBgeG46X0AwACWl?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FBgeG46X0AwACWl?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 It would be cool to see the Mig29K do a fly ...

Image from Malabar.

May be my eyes are imaging things. Are those F35? Would this be the first time F35 are coming in Malabar?

Thank god, this is going perfectly. I was fearful there would be some deal and things will be back to normal. :roll: Hope there is more pressure from PLA and PA, so that our political jokers are kept on their toes. And force our military leadership to better prepare their war fighting capability. On...

I am noticing the coverage of this incident has been quite low. I may be wrong, but I don't think there will be any response.

Creating a superior military requires a feedback loop from application of violence. Israelis or for that matter Turkey are able to create modern warfare solution, because they feel the need for it by applying those weapons in a war. They see a problem, they fund and find solutions. What is our style...

Let's first respond with some serious firepower on LC, then we can talk about breaking up Pak. Atleast Pak had the b**lls to attack our brigade hq with airpower, while we were singing "non-millitary" strike, :roll: We get hit, because of gandigiri. Peace & preventing escalation at any ...

Good. I want both PA & PLA to do this constantly. Otherwise our lot will be in "aititi devo bhavo" mode

We have a serious issue on sqd numbers, but then if IAF itself is not bothered, who are we to loose sleep. If things were serious, IAF would have ordered more FOC version until MK1A is available. But then it wants only 16 of them, despite it being superior to anything PAF has, bar the F16. I was giv...

It is a good thing the PLA released images from the Galwan fight. This will prevent GoI from brushing things under the carpet in the name of "resolution". It will also force IA to release it's own collection. PLA & CCP keeps forgetting their best ally in India is GoI and it's bureaucra...

nam

We need the chest beating. Without the chest beating GoI will not reform it's procurement process, not invest in technology.

Every future superpower needs an enemy. For Chinis it is US, for us it is China.

nam

With respect to Taiwan, I will be convinced that US, JP, Taiwan are serious about pushing back on the CCP, when they start degrading the economics of China by pulling back their companies. The current situation is like Infosys, TCS opening up their biggest development center in Pakistan and employin...

The comparison between a "success" of Chinese authoritarianism over "failure" of Indian democracy is moot. China is rich not because it is autocratic, it is because it was smart enough to know which side of the bread was buttered. If China was a true "communist" nation ...

I feel the US will ask Taiwan to merge. This way it doesn't need to sanction China and the supply chain will all okay.

I won't be surprised if this happens.

nam

My view is thaf if the Taiwanese think they cannot defend themselves against a Chini attack, they will just give up and merge. I doubt the regular Taiwanese have a stomach for a fight over enjoying the rich life style. Any anti-CCP leader will escape in to exile and the regular mango Taiwanese would...

There is even less guarantee of AMCA compared to MK2. Atleast for MK2, we have seen the HAL RFI. For AMCA there is nothing. IAF tried to block everything for the sake of 123 Rafale since 2010. Now it is trying to do the same for MRFA. It is also the reason why it doesn't want to come on-board TEDBF....

The PL-15 is around 6cm longer and 30KG heavier than SD-10A! The diameter is the same.

FC1 radar is 80KM range and SD-10A is 70KM max range. All claims by the Chinis themselves!

nam

L&T is producing around 70-80% of K9 locally. And I think 50% by value. The engine and electronics must be imported. The Koreans allowed such high localisation because they know India can easily produce armor. There was no point holding it back. This is good enough, as we have the design skills ...

How many Pak politican, army chaps or any other have we sanctioned? Why blame others, when we can only do R&D.

There is political dimension to getting a fab in India. The Taiwanese would want India to take some of the heat from their front to the western front. Taiwanese have the money & the tech. India wants the tech and investment. A deal can be made. We deploy our forces and force the PLA to deploy on...

nam

But that shouldn't stop IAF for asking HAL to create a prototype with some of the key upgrades and run the trials. More they delay it, more longer it will take to start rolling out the updates.

nam

If this happens, then it will laid down the stone for what I have been a advocate on this forum. Get US, Japanese, SK & Taiwanese companies in to India. By hook or crook. QUAD, trade deal with taiwan, bribe SK, free parcel of aloo paratha.. whatever it takes. Our key to prosperity : Japan, SK &a...

nam

So PL-15 is around 10cm longer than Astra, but much of larger diagram. With Astra2 increase in diameter and dual pulse, it has probably managed achieving a similar range of around 150KM.

Also the talk about better propellant to increase launch speed of Astra, it will get more refined.

nam

Looks like the export version PL-15E is 145KM! https://twitter.com/evazhengll/status/1442167303651614726 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FAObhNZVEAIjtkI?format=jpg&name=large Now I am thinking it is not even dual pulsed. PL15 went in to operational use in 2016. Does China have any history of dual pu...

More that DRDO, apparently building of large UAV is forbidden as a policy by GoI! As is the case in our country, everything is banned, unless GoI approves it! :roll: The private industries are now asking GoI to do away with this policy. As usual a "committee" has been setup to look in to t...

nam

The radar on FC1 is 70-80KM. as per the Chinese themselves. My opinion is PAF didn't field a working SD10 until PL-15 started rolling out in PLAAF. Burma should have got the SD-10 once China allowed PAF to start using it. If this is true, Chinis will not allow PL-15 until something better comes up i...
