MKIs in Agra. First time I have spotted them there. Also see C17s at Hindon.EightNine MKIs, i have never heard any plan for basing a MKI SQ or even a detachment in Agra.
Methinks it is an excellent development, showscases the high number of MKIs which have been inducted into IAF.

Re: Google Earth updates more cities and airports in India
Both INS Chennai and INS Kochi are being fitted out.Gagan wrote:INS Vikrant in the shipbreaking yard next door.
What big hull is building at Mazgaon dock now? It looks like a Kolkata class, but all three are nearly built.
Was there a 4th kolkata class destroyer to be built?
the ship in the wet basin is indeed one of these (most likely Chennai as Kochi is all set to be commissioned.
But the other ship in the dry dock is interesting, see the level of completion of the ship... the work started in Oct 2013 and already we are seeing significant progress. We are seeing the benefit of massive infrastructure upgrade and modular construction in MDL!!!

It is a regular Network Operations Center ( NOCC ) of DOT. I have known it in operation for at least 40 years ( when its 1st antenna/control system was under evaluation ).
Its public role of operation is
Quoting from NOCC webpage:
"On line Operational control, coordination and Monitoring of all the satellite based services in India .
Coordination with foreign satellite operators like Thaicom, Intelsat, AsiaSat, PanamSat, Singtel, APSTAR, New Skies which are providing space segment to Indian satellite communication users "
One can call it SIGINT

Maybe a stupid question, but where are the jetties/berths at Karwar to dock the ships? One large one is completely occupied by Vikad. Where would the others berth?

Oops and I cant locate the plane (or plane crash) at the end of the runway in Goa on google maps now. Its a different image??? How does that work? I am pretty sure of what I saw, since I counted 4 Il-38s in the one I was looking at and now can count 2.
Apologies.

Possible..sorry for wasting your time. Maybe I can make it up by pointing to 15.378672, 73.835891 on google maps. Looks like a parade, with one of each aircraft and helo type at Dabolim being lined up.SSSalvi wrote:Maybe .. you r seeing different time image

Re: Google Earth updates more cities and airports in India
A recent image on Google earth shows a "Kolkata" class vessel in dry dock, at Indira Dock. Is it being fitted out ?
The pic also shows a "Talwar' class in Indira Dock
Looks like that at Mazgaon Dock, 2 'Visakhapatnam' class boats are under construction ? Are they on the slipway ?
There is asubmarine on pontoons, could be INS Kalvari.

But this is also a known M-11 missile storage site - the ones that China transferred to Pakistan, and Pakistan's main most reliable missile.
The korean ding-dongs - the liquid fuelled Ghauris are useless, inaccurate, poorly built - fire and pray missiles.

Panagarh, West Bengal has now quite developed air force station. Runway looks completed and some hangers were built. Aircraft pans are needed to be built.
Army cant area is also very huge and looks developed.

Considering that BRFItes (other than Gagan who has done much work on Pakistan) have put in zero effort in identifying facilities in China or Pakistan why does this thread even exist? To figure out and post in public every facility that India has using the excuse "Oh the Chinese and Pakis will do it anyway. Visit xyz forum and see for yourself"
Why not post this stuff in xyz forum?
Re: Google Earth updates more cities and airports in India
OK
I will post some non military stuff from India. Very interesting to see what all India has. Hopefully it will present to everyone, the varied fields, that India is working on.
So lets start with some science, astronomy projects:
1. Indian Astronomical Observatory , Hanle, J&K
32°46'45.41"N, 78°57'55.16"E
2. Right next door is the High Altitude Gamma Ray Telescope, consisting of 7 sensors

The temple bore the assaults of the invaders and marauders from afghanistan and Persia, who destroyed and looted it several times over. The resilience of the people of India, re-built it in its original glory and surpassed it on each occasion. Today, it stands proud, and is beautifully constructed.

Re: Google Earth updates more cities and airports in India
Actually, if you look around the location of the Vindhyachal Thermal Power Station, around the Govind Ballabh Pant Sagar Reservior of the GBPS Dam, Rihind, located in UP & MP, but at the junction of 4 states, UP, MP, Jharkhand & Chhatisgarh
There are coal mines, and 6 HUGE thermal power stations, generating a total of 18,292 MW of electricity! Add the 300 MW from the Dam, and you get about 18,600 MW of electricity !!!
1. Anpara: 3830 MW: 24°12'31.04"N, 82°47'19.81"E
2. Renusagar: (HINDALCO): 742 MW: 24°11'1.81"N, 82°47'33.29"E
3. Singrauli super thermal (NTPC): 2000 MW: 24° 6'31.70"N, 82°42'21.41"E
4. Vindhyachal: 4760 MW: 24° 6'26.14"N, 82°39'52.06"E
5. Sasan Ultra Mega: 3960 MW: 23°58'48.63"N, 82°38'16.70"E
6. Rihand (NTPC): 3000 MW: 24° 1'21.24"N, 82°47'51.24"E

This bridge in Noney is being constructed and the main pillar is located here
24°51'54.50"N, 93°37'36.45"E
The current highest pillar for a railway bridge is across the Jhajjar Khad in the Udhampur-Katra section of IR. This pillar is 90m tall and is located here:
32°57'49.02"N, 74°58'32.12"E
