BSF and IA also wants platform of the same type. I hope they place orders along with this one. I know IA won't be able to score such platform atleast in this decade but BSF will, i hope atleast BSF joins IAF.
MOD shouldn't have to spend on road and railways. This should be taken by respective ministry's of govt. MOD has alot on its plate already, if the spend on building roads then wither GOI increase the defence budget, which will not make them look good and will prompt more increase from...

This JV with LnT is sanctioned by MOD or not ? Remember when JV with Pipavav was finalised, it got stuck for few months for the clearance from MOD and that was because LnT and others raised doubt.
HSTDV is going to have a hypersonic speed so that it could fulfill its original purpose. Now we can include reconnaissance sorties as its job description.
I don't think its a right idea and i don't think anyone is going to pursue this either....
The reason being how are you going to transfer...
I really don't agree with alot of assessment in the video.
1. Its wrong to say there's no support for Arjun MBT. DRDO has developed all the support slowly and slowly like transportation through road, rail, BLT, ARV, mine clearing version etc. If you are gonna order only 124 tanks, what do you...
I would only agree with one point that DRDO should have tested BMD interceptor against Agni series too. All other point are just being too critical. Its not all DRDO's fault, everybody is responsible including the PM. After 1999 PM should have taken BMD program under himself. Its a very critical...
They are SSKs which are normally quiter than the larger SSN, SSBN, SSGN. As compared to other SSKs, its not the quietest but it can go very deep in the ocean and a SSK going that deep is a great asset. All other equipments of U214 is also better than its counterpart. In short U214 is not quitest...
Have you read about Type 26 FFG project ? It is a custom built FFG. You can put whatever you want in your FFG. Also the design especially to reduce cost. The cost of per warship is close to 450 million $. Even Krivak III cost close to 530 million$ and that too is 2006 cost. Imagine what will be...
If IN wants to purchase more FFGs from a foreign vendor then why the hell they are not joing hands with BAE on Type 26 FFG project ? It is way better than what Russia has to offer. Infact India can go for French or Italian FREMM also. The new Krivak 4 is not gonna cost less, its cost will be...
I would say i am with IAF. You cannot predict the path of the satellite you don't know exist. Alot of Indian satellites can do the job of partial spying, enough to gather information that are important for armed forces, its just they fall into civilian sphere and nobody wants to use them for...
I couldn't watch the video, but can you tell me which missile is this... ?? Also i bet you are from Canada which has never performed any missile test to understand how these things work...
I think it should come under NTRO...I also don't think it should be made a separate organisation. It increases the cost of operation of other agencies.
Bad idea....Firstly it will be expensive considering you will be putting 8 to 10 Snecma Kaveri engines. Secondly the operational cost, the maintenance itself will be costly. Training will also be complicated. Countries like Russia (Former USSR) they built 100s of Bombers thereby reducing the...
I think India has quite a few missile tests coming up in the next few years. Like A5 MIRV,A6, k4, K15 launch through submarine.Nirbhay, LRCM. I think we should do all these tests close to each other because global community will talk after each of these tests and if we do these tests close to...
So the army aviation which right now has not more than 250 helicopter with majority being light helicopter for a force of 1.13 million wants...
1. 234 attack helicopters
2. 259 (=133+126) LUH
3. 234 tactical battle-support helicopters
4. 30 fixed-wing aircraft
Cool....
I thought this 8 missile launcher version of NAMICA was cancelled by IA and a new version was to be built by LnT. If IA wants this old one then they alread tested it a couple years ago.
They should atleast go for 52-calibre gun instead of 45. Things that should go on futuristic artillery :
1) Light weight.
2) Increased rate of fire
3) Longer range
4) Guided projectiles with great accuracy and even glide projectiles like glide bombs.
5) Fully automatic reloader. In short...
