    India’s first nuclear submarine INS Arihant ready for operations, passes deep sea tests

    That means atleast 6-10 SSBN, so atleast 2-3 always remain in patrol, also 3-4 SSN with them. And that also capable to operate in near Australian water with capable to fire 8500 KM SLBM. And that I think not going to be possible before 2030. This is almost impossible to develop HEU reactor...

    The Pakistan Navy's Frigate Options

    If that is that case, and it is integrated into Chinese CMS. Then what was the reason to buy different consoles, different datalinks , buses, & it seems like different architecture for Smart S from Thales? Obviously it is easy to be integrated, albeit OEM ( in this case Thales ) authorized to...

    The Pakistan Navy's Frigate Options

    Actually they cant without Chinese help, they have no infrastructure, Human Resource, Capabilities & Funds. Also if they violate the IPR, China has full authority to stop delivery of spare parts & aftersale warranty as null & void. Designing, building & assembling are all different things. And...

    The Pakistan Navy's Frigate Options

    No, they dont have, design is Intellectual Property Right of China. By building Scorpene in India doesnt means India become owner of designs of Scorpene hull & various systems.

    The Pakistan Navy's Frigate Options

    Smart S Mk.2 is volume search radar, not Fire Control Radar, for greater situation awareness it must be integrated into CMS (like most of modern destroyers), but that is not necessity. But Fire Control Radar & weapon systems are must to be integrated with CMS. And I am pretty sure there are no...

    Parrikar’s Quest for Affordable Air power

    Nobody buying Gripen NG or F-16 IN. And nobody killing LCA R&D program. Thats for sure. Lol, these options were same in 2009 or 2011 or in 2016. But we still going to buy Rafale & LCA.

    Vietnam Defence Forum

    Barak-2 is actually the land version of Barak-8, but this is also in R&D. IAF expected to deploy first battery by 2018, so we can expect first test of this missile by this year. Also the range of Barak-2 is much higher than Barak-8 ( arnd 130-150 KM) , and also known as LR-SAM. Barak-2 is...

    Vietnam Defence Forum

    I dont know there are funds problem or other thing, if Vietnam seriously want day & night imaging capabilities at LEO, then again they all need to ask from Israel to build a variant of TecSar for them. For MEO, they all need to ask India to build variant of RISAT-1 or CartoSat.

    Vietnam Defence Forum

    Ofcourse they can do, all they need to contact Israel, and ask ELM 2084 & Barak 2 or David's Sling. Both use same MMR ELM 2084.

    THIS IS WHAT IRAN CALLED INDIA IN 2010 ,'Friend' Iran calls India a Zionist regime

    Put these word hostility out of the basket in Geopolitical sense. You look like moron. Just that? Creating Pakistan larger than life? :rofl: Also think like that, we launched the TecSar for Israel. Will India ever make this offer to Iran, if Iran asked help to launch a sat based on RISAT-1...

    THIS IS WHAT IRAN CALLED INDIA IN 2010 ,'Friend' Iran calls India a Zionist regime

    US more than happy about NSTC (connecting Europe also via Turkey bypassing Suez ) & Chahbahar, and they also knew strategical importance of this. Thats why India even funded the Chahbahar even during sanction days.

    THIS IS WHAT IRAN CALLED INDIA IN 2010 ,'Friend' Iran calls India a Zionist regime

    Can I say something? Ideologically he is right, but geopoliticaly he is wrong. Iranians do think India as stooge of Israel. But Iran also know, there best hope to become regional power in the region is also India.
