Unfortunately for SAAB I see little hope for them here as well cause If we want a laser guided version then we should go for the starstreak - it fires 3 sub munitions with each missile thus increasing chances of a hit but if we want an infrared homing missile then the igla-s should be good as we...

India has already responded China objects to oil hunt, India says back off - Hindustan Times Beijing’s bid to thwart oil and natural gas exploration in two Vietnamese blocks in the South China Sea by India’s ONGC Videsh Ltd (OVL) has been rebuffed by New Delhi. India’s...

Why are you bringing Pakistan into this?? Got nothing better to do than flaming and trolling??

Great- Project hasnt even started and we get our first delay...... still all we can do is hope that its also the last

Could also be gujarat - ahmedabad/gandhinagar ....

how is this the navy's fault.... The article itself mentions that the contract for the weapons has already been signed as of 2006 - if the weapons have not arrived then please go bash the oem not the navy

please read your source - it clearly says that the qing class submarine is a conventional attack sub which can launch nuke missiles - i asked a link for your claim that china was providing pakistan with nuclear submarines (which , if you dont know, means a submarine powered by a nuclear reactor)...

please provide source

Exactly... they milk us the least. Why would you want to compare india to pakistan?? Yes china gives pakistan equipment at a very cheap price and on soft loans but they can afford to, when the USSR was still kickin it also used to do the same for india - now russia is no longer in a position to...

your point was that the deal we made for upgrading the migs was not cheap - unfortunately you seem to not understand the meaning of the word. you are looking at the intrinsic value ( even then this cost is believable as we will have to source everything we upgrade from russia) - while not...

so will the mirage 2000 upgrade be done in india but that costs 2.4 billion for just 50 fighters- also the first 6 mig 29s will be upgraded in Russia and the rest in india by HAL - this is almost exactly what will happen in the mirage deal. Russia may deliver first upgraded MiG to India in 2011...

the over all cost of the whole gorshkov package is 2.4 billion but that includes the mig 29ks as well - i was just talking about the ship. maybe we have to pay a high price for maintenance (dont really have any idea about this)but definitely not for upgrades - look at the mig 29 upgrade - all...

Nothing in this world comes free of charge......

Well as for delays - they happen everywhere.... tell me the last time when HAL or any indian shipyard did anything on time??? and please define the term sub standard - how is russian equipment substandard?? now we come to price - Name just one other country that can provide us with an aircraft...

2 crashes in over 10 years - thats actually a very good safety record even for western aircraft. the mig 21s are too old to fly - thats why they crash - look at the other mig in the iaf inventory(one which still has some life in it), the mig 29 , it has a safety record better than the f 16 of...

Sub standard??? Like the sub standard mki's and mig 29s and talwar class frigates and future pak fa?? Know what you are talking about before making random statements

Can somebody please add infos of all the bvr missiles India has or is going to get as well. Thnx in advance

only if the tejas cost 18 mill per piece - this cost is for the 40 tejas mk1 which have already been ordered ---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ---------- its 272 su 30mki and 40 LCA tejas - total 312 (the above mentioned over 300)

lets be honest- the mig 29k is a new machine and is very capable - maybe not as capable as a su 33upg but definitely more than sufficient for the task it will be given ( most probably it will be used against the PN which doesnt really have anything which could bring down the mig 29k with any...

Decent article - raises lots of issues that indians need to address. We really dont need to catch up with china ( not that we can going by current growth rates) , all we need is to maintain a strong deterrent against chinese aggression and retain control of indian ocean and important trade...
