Does the PN have any plans to induct a destroyer at any point? Even relatively small nations have such vessles and with neighboring IN stockpiling incredibly advanced versions of such vessels, not to mention advanced frigates which would be classified as destroyers in most navies, surely this is...

Ever heard : Abdul Qadeer Khan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This guy pretty much gave the NKs and Iranians nuclear tech to be able to devlop nuke weapons. The world knows this and that is why Pakistan is looked down upon so much in the nuclear community that is why Pakistan can't even...

Hey-every great journey begins with a single step. But you make valid points, the N-LCA development has a very long way to go, it is for this reason I have said this: N-LCA as a LIFT beyond 2018-20 for IN will be perfect IMHO.

I'm sorry, I'm normally pro-US but I am really getting sick of this war-mongering and hypocrasy. It is so blatant what the US is trying to do, why don't they put this much effort into solving the humanitarian crisis in Syria? Why don't they sort out NK and Pakistan with terrible nuclear...

No, if you read the article and knew what you were talking about then you would understand this topic is about QUALITY not quantiy and not range. Yes China posses ICBMs with ranges of 13,500 km which, obviously, is superior in range to Agni V but that is a mute poitn as Agni V was not inteded to...

A bit of a non point really because inherently the N-LCA design is BASED on the IAF LCA design so there is going to be an incredibly high degree of commanlity with N-LCA having a few design changes. NP1 had LEVCON, Strengthened landing gear and strengthened airframe the only thing not present...

Man things are getting interesting, IN has come out of nowhere to start delivering major developments. We are in for some fun guys, some of the most advanced ships ever built are coming to IN. It is incredible to think IN is now able to design,build and operate $1BN frigates (P-17A) and that two...

Good God this woman!!!! :hitwall::hitwall::hitwall: Who does she think she is?? It is not enough to abuse the powers of the office when she is president but she wanted to continue this abuse after she had retired? Just when you think it can't get any worse and then this!!Trust the good old IA...

If anyone's interested, 2 great vids on current IN ACC operations (although with INS Vikramditya and IAC1- I'm sure there will be significant differences but still a good starting point to see how professional and expreinced IN are at ACC ops). Shows how far China has to come as they have no...

Well I suppose "baby" is apt as you have to learn to crawl/walk (build industrial complex and know-how) before you can run (devlop more complex systems) all this indigenous R&D is going to pay untold dividends in the future ala AMCA, IAC-2 (65,000+ tonnes) etc + there is no way the first flight...

Well the C-17 is a strategic airlifter capable of transporting huge loads to short and strategic locations like the mountains of Kashmir or plains of Rajastan. The fact the C-17 can carry 1 MBT (T-90/ARJUN) or 2 ICVs or 200 troops or 150 paratroopers or 77 tonnes of cargo to remote and strategic...

These beasts are bigger and more powerful than most foreign navies' destroyers!!!!

CBG:

Perhaps, later on P-28a is also to join the CBG of IN. This will surely then become one of the meanest and most sexy CBGs on the planet!! Brahmos, Barak-NG, Mig-29K- drolling!!

Why are so many Pakistani members here so eager to hang on to China's coat tails? Pakistan is an independent nation completly seperate to China so China's success don't count as Pakistani successes. It's quite embarrassing really.

Not really $50 mill/helo more like $25-30 mill for the Blk.III (still a huge amount for a helo) but these are the most advanced attack helicopters on the planet and will dominate any battlefield they enter- real game changer for the region which I can't see losing its "top dog" seat to anyone...

I think what will end up happening is the IN will use the N-LCA as an advanced lead-in trainer for IN pilots to operate heavy, more capable IN fighters of the futre like Mig-29K/N-MMRCA similar to USN's T-45 Gorshawk but more advanced and can go supersonic. As it seems there are still some major...

$8 bn is pretty conservative. The deals are: $4.1 BN for 10 C-17s (follow on for 6 and later 4-8 more likely) $3 BN for 12 P-8I (order to be doubled after first unit is delivered later this year) $1 BN for follow on order of C-130J-30 for Spec Ops (order liekly to increase many fold though...

From what I've heard the CBG will consist of 7-9 ships excluding the ACC itslef- 3 destroyers (P-15 later down the road) 3 frigates (mix of Shivlaik and Talwar) 1-2 SSK and then 1-2 Support ships like the Deepak Class fleet tankers.
