India is used to flying machines that have huge life cycle costs. Take the mig 29 - known to be one of the most maintenance expensive aircraft - or in fact any russian aircraft , all require extremely high flying costs. one of the reasons for choosing a western engine for LCA (or a western...

so DRDO is analyzing the proposal??? Lets see if i predict this right..... DRDO will convince the govt that they can make a better BMD system and the proposal by NATO will be rejected and then we wait and wait and wait and wait( you get the idea)

Some corrections .... Tejas already has undergone 6.9g unofficially and thats not its maximum but rather the max which has been tested- if you see the design of the plane then it should be able to pull 8gs comfortably. Weapon load being limited is hardly a drawback since it was designed to be a...

personally i think we need to increase the fdi limit in all three of the above sectors - defence, single brand and multi brand. Though most important for the common man is the multi brand retails - bringing in large retail stores like wallmart will almost certainly help in lowering prices of...

We'll have retired a lot of mig 21s by 2014 - i dont think there'll be anything except the bisons left. By 2014 we will have - 210 su 30 40 lca 63 mig 29 51 m2k 120-jaguar 100-mig 27 Total 584 - which is 32 sqds so only 2 sqd of mig 21 bisons will be left and they along with the remaining...

We're already inducting 272 mkis and by the time the delivery ends - delivery of 214 pakfas will start( another heavy class plane ) - having too many of this class is really expensive and requires very high maintenance. We need lighter weight aircraft as well ( there's a reason why theres a M in...

Isnt Kalaikunda a bit far from Andaman and Nicobar to provide proper protection??? Why not just place mig 29ks ( not su 30's as the fighters at A&D will probably have a larger anti shipping role rather than an air supremacy role) directly at Andaman and Nicobar??

Slightly wrong - neutrinos do have mass - though a small one Neutrino Mass and if an object (having mass) can travel faster than light then it stands to logic that other particles like electrons,protons and atoms in general can too - proving einstein wrong

should help indo russian relations - he turned them around last time he came to office... Either way good news as he is one of my favorite world leaders

shoddy article..... We dont have anymore su 30ks , we only have mki. And we will get aesa in the upgrade - maybe even an engine replacement

maybe my physics sucks but i didnt really understand how it will work against a stealth aircraft.......

When will BVR trials take place?? we already have the derby missile... and why are we using R 73 instead of the python 5 - isnt the R 73 a bit outdated as compared to the latter?? ---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ---------- The Hindu : Today's Paper...

true but there hasnt been any news of an indian seeker, has there? and if we had managed to make one I'm pretty sure DRDO would have announced it. About the indigenous seeker all i have is this Bharat Electronics & Rafael to Forge Tie-up for Missile Seekers | India Defence Online India is...

there is a lot of doubt on which seeker the astra uses..... i have plenty of sources saying russian - here are a couple... The Hindu : Karnataka / Bangalore News : Astra carriage trials next month BANGALORE: The carriage trials of the indigenous air-to-air missile , Astra, are slated for...

double post....

the problems are being exaggerated.... if the rvv ae is as bad as some people say then modern air forces like iaf and plaaf would never have accepted them. anyways we should look for a replacement - these are the few options available: 1. meteor - wouldnt work as it couldnt be integrated on over...

no need to be too happy - Astra uses Russian seeker as well ( most probably the same one ) Astra air-to-air missile - a knol by Vijainder K Thakur

so - someone doesnt listen to you, attack them......Come on mate - think of something more creative than war. Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent
