Iran plans $25b domestic import from India soon After facing sanctions from the west, Iran is now eyeing imports worth $25 billion from India to meet its domestic requirements in coming years. A five-member trade delegation from Iran, led by Yahya Ale Eshagh, president of the Iran chamber of...

Asking for an increase it seems. Even if he gets the additional allocation (which I am personally not in favour of), it will be 2.35% of GDP. Defence ministry seeks additional outlay of Rs. 45k cr - Hindustan Times

It is interesting to note the reference to "TWO CITIES". This tallies with the early reports of Israel making 2 Greenpines available to DRDO for its program. This statement indicates that India is still years away from deploying indegenous LRTR's. I hope DRDO and the Indian industry gets its act...

Textiles export may touch $38 bn this fiscal NEW DELHI: India is looking to set textiles export target at $38 billion this fiscal, 12 per cent higher the previous year, despite slowdown in the Western markets as the country opens new avenues for shipments. "Though there is economic...

It's indeed funny how some people will twist facts/ statements to make them suit their conclusions. Nowhere did any DRDO spokesperson (in this case Dr. Saraswat I believe) talk of importing "critical" components. Neither did he say the components were for "guidance". He just talked of...

Dunno about planes but one possibility is ofcourse to redirect imports from other countries towards India

Did I miss something from the article in tribune that everyone is in congratulatory mode :unsure:!! It says SUPARCO will "ask the govt. for funding". ONCE THEY GET FUNDING, they will start the process of building/ acquiring the technology. Atleast let them get the necessary funding before...

New pics from the exercise:

As per Lt. Gen. Sanjiv Langer (21 corps commander) from the exercises held last December: Livefist: EXCLUSIVE: India's Arjun Tank In Army's Biggest Wargame So as per the "current" operational status, 2 regiments of Arjun are operational while the Army is looking towards Mk.2 trials.

"Building Britain's Ultimate Warship". The ships don't feature in real. They are simulated as enemy combatants along with some other threats in one of their wargames. In fact it could very well be the same exercise which featured the Typhoons (as far as I can tell from the footage!).

Came across this video of Minuteman III test back in the days. It is interesting to note that this system has a similar terminal velocity to Agni 5 (~ 7 km/s) and the video actually shows the MIRV's striking the test range. Awesome footage indeed. I hope that in some of the future Indian ICBM...

Some more Teg pics (from Same album) BTW, was watching the Channel 4 documentary on HMS Daring and saw that they were using IN ships (2 Talwar class and 1 Aditya class) in their wargames. :devil:

According to the latest interview if Dr. Saraswat, The Indian BDM system requires 4 interceptors (2 PAD's and 2AAD's) for a kill probability of ~99.5 % for intermediate missiles of upto 2000 km range. It is quite clear that the armed forces (IAF) and DRDO have mutually agreed on the requirement...

Well this is a disturbing news indeed. This puts Pakistan back by about 3 years in terms of economic growth considering a compounded growth of about 3 percent that we have seen in Pakistan in the last few years. This would further push down per capita GDP, increase deficit and therefore have...

Some material from Sevmash (I could be wrong) The write up ranges from dead serious stuff to some funny anecdotes. Some interesting tidbits and a good read overall.

It is interesting to note that if the above is true (will have to watch the program tomorrow to confirm), then the Agni 5 is more or less a 6000 Km range missile (and not 5000) making it a true ICBM. Moreover, that would imply a relatively easy push to 10000 kms range if need be. The reentry...

No. It is the Shtil-1 complex. The Arm launch unit installed on the Talwar class has a below deck magazine with 24 missiles. It has a maximum range of ~ 30 km and a very high interception speed of mach 4.5. It has a robust anti missile capability in addition to traditional air threats like...
