    India, Israel To Build Missile Defense System

    Doubtful, the article actually doesn't make much sense. The Army already gets a land version of the Barak 8 and that would be available to IAF too. Below that Akash and Maitri SAM are planned, which doesn't leave any room for another MR missile. The author might mix up some things here.

    No, I just saw it in the specboards in the link you posted in the Aero India thread. Was waiting for more infos or even pics about that too, but sadly nothing more seems to have been shown on that.

    India aims to invest $137 billion in railways in next 5 years

    From what I heared now, it's because the freight fares were hiked, which is the 2nd time since the new government is in power. Higher transport costs obviously is not good for the industry and the economy. What's also interesting is, that the passenger and freight numbers are falling since the...

    BAE’s US arm to shift Howitzer assembly here

    Such a light howitzer on a proper platform surely would be good, the way I understand it, it's a bit complicated to handle though. But I would of course prefer if they would divert knowledge / offset to India, that makes us possible to build such a system, rather than just how to assemble parts...

    BEA in talks to weaponise Indian Hawks

    In Iraq against ISIS, but not in and around India! Guess why IAF needed to divert escort fighters and top cover to Mirage and Jag strike fighters even in Kargil? Not really, as said it was a proposal by BAE and MBDA to weaponize the Hawk, not a tender by the IAF. It's like he LAHAT missile...

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions [Thread 2]

    It's not about the political side or the possible relation of these people to the PM, but the fact that if RIL as a company has paid Government officials or workers to get their hands on classified documents and gained benefits with them, be it in the Oil or maybe the defence sector. If RIL is...

    India aims to invest $137 billion in railways in next 5 years

    It has nothing to do with my expectations, but with the government hiking the fares for a reason and opening the railway up for privat investment with a purpose in mind and I want to know of these aims were met at least to an extend or if nothing has changed. One point for example was, that they...

    BEA in talks to weaponise Indian Hawks

    Which again is already been dealt by the fact that we now have a fleet of multi role fighters and not a split fleet of dedicated A2A and dedicated A2G fighters. We basically have twice the number of fighters available for strikes now, than in the past with Mig 27s and Jags only. And as said...
