Saraswat says that all problems encountered by the IAF during the IOC last year have been solved, which seems odd as one of the main problems was the AoA which afaik still remains unsolved. Maybe he means that the LSP 7 & 8 will be handed over to the IAF for user trials this year.

Good news!!! but it begs the question - why the konkurs M and why not the kornet?? The kornet is newer and has proven its capabilities against modern tanks like merkava and abrams.

You want to see how reliable the west is - just look at Pakistan.

India's response

false news - the mirages are grounded and no other channel is reporting this.

Not the sword of a jedi - Its a lightsaber and by its color clearly a sith's. Sry couldnt resist....:cheers:

But the rafale isnt getting the meteor till the end of the decade either - deliveries to france are to start in 2018 and after that the deliveries to india will commence, till then the rafale will have to rely on mica ( which is also a very good missile but lacks range)

What does it say of HAL's public image that when I read the topic my first thought was april fool's joke.....

Trust me buddy - its the nukes - India restrains herself mainly because Pakistan has such an unpredictable nuclear policy - of course there are other factors such as international politics involved as well but Nukes play a huge role in keeping the peace. Anyways getting off course here.... lets...

By that logic even nukes are not a good idea - but at the end of the day its nukes that kept peace between USSR and USA and its nukes that keep the peace between India and Pakistan.

Why?? The potential for laser weaponary is huge - if made mature enough you can shoot down targets many kilometers away before the target can react ( as the laser will reach it instantly ) - if coupled with a powerful radar for targeting and given a decent range of about 50 -80km it will be the...

I would really like to see the Indian navy get another Akula. - this along with 6 scorpenes, 6 amur, 4 arihant class subs and around 4 upgraded kilos should be enough. But we also need 3 fighting fit aircraft carriers

these are manpads - shoulder launched anti aircraft missiles. I think the army will stick with the russians on this one - the newest variant of Igla ( Igla S ) is no doubt being fielded by them - and none of the other competitors has much of an edge against it.

Or if the main design is same - we should just upgrade our current T 90s to this standard - If there are any new orders they should go to the Arjun mk2.

120 J 10B makes no logical sense - consider this: you will start getting J 10B around 2014 - 2015 and deliveries end in 2017. If at this time instead of ordering 80 -100 more J 10B you order even 36 J 20( which should enter production around this time) that will worry india far more. I...

The guns made in India will be upgraded to current standards.

We should be focusing on NE areas - If poverty rises in these areas then people will be more inclined to join the naxals and maoists. This zone + J&K should have number one priority in all poverty alleviation plans

As I said - according to me - your opinion might be different.

I like kohli's attitude - according to me humility is overrated.
