The information in the files seems to be really basic and general in nature for all scorpenes in use by all customers. Precise parameters are only collected during sea trials which could vary for each submarine. Since the data was lost on 2011, there is no way it is very precise in nature since...
Just a personal thought. If china could hack into US database and steal information on F-22 and F-35, who here thinks other countries including India or France is immune to cyber espionage? I'm in no way justifying DCNS, this is a serious security lapse but you just cant stop a very dedicated...
No matter how they try to twist the words, they messed up big time in that video lol. Anyways hope the poor lad who made the video didn't get into serious trouble. JF-17 looks better than how it shows up in that video though.
P.S: Next year we plan to add Al Khalid to our video. Hope no1 minds...
Lol. God blessed all of us with the best armed forces in the world. Everyone thinks they have the best, nothing but human nature. I think threads like this only helps keep the patriot kids happy. I don't think any of our air forces been involved in a war lately to gauge their performance. Even...
I had sent it to someone for review. He sent it to few friends. Maybe they published it. Raze is my nickname. Thanks for highlighting, good to see it published.
Good Day!
There is no better proof than this. Why do Arjun need mine ploughs when they are not added to T series? For everyone questioning the indigenous content, for 100 odd tanks how can we indigenise components? Is that even economically feasible? Tejas and Arjun will always be a black mark in our...
Each pylon can carry a Twin pack. So 8 will be the max it can carry as of now. However I wish we worked on a Quad packed launcher, boosting total capacity to 16.
At 45 Kg each, payload is not the issue. Just a matter of time and intent I guess.
Good Day all!
Exactly! And it will be the Mig story all over again!! Such short sighted vision and memory of our dear countrymen that we forget the past and repeat the mistakes all over again and again! Year 2050, we'd be still negotiating for Assemly Line for some foreign aircraft if we don't change the path...
F-16 is a brilliant aircraft and to me its the best single engine multi-role aircraft. LM is a huge company and their ability to bring in a credible industrial capability cant be questioned. But a small question comes up in my mind, 20 years after we buy an F-16, how relevant will it be at that...
Possible. But more like distant future, our country is still at its infancy in this field. However the future looks bright. More important than something as sophisticated as Triton, we must master the basic versions like Rustom I/II.
P.S: Still patiently waiting for its first flight.
Good Day!
Cant compare the Triton. They are a league apart. Only reason why they are not being procured is cause of the costs, however it is just a temporary excuse. Only a matter of time. :-)
But a descent alternative to Heron/Searcher and Guardian UAV albeit with slightly less performance...
Answer from my knowledge:
- march'17 is doubtful, but 2017 calendar year is achievable.
- Mk1A is being designed, however promised first flight on 2018 and delivery by 2020 seems to be a bit tight.
- Mk2 will fly as a naval variant first and if no foreign light fighter is chosen, IAF will place...
Truth be told, the current production plan is really tragic. Alot of resources needs to be mobilized for this production plan to actually work out. Just to point out a variation from the picture, the 20th aircraft is now set to join in 2019 and not 2018 as previously planned. And Mk-1A is...
