Kalaripayattu (sometimes shortened as Kalari) is an Indian martial art and fighting system that originated in modern-day Kerala. Kalaripayattu is also mentioned in the Vadakkan Pattukal ballads written about the Chekavar from the Malabar region of Kerala. Kalaripayattu is held in high regard due...
U.S. will never sanction any country for using their equipment against India as long as they also follow American orders on other matters. India itself has never been the factor.
Instead they'll help you in every way post-operation. The question is, what can Bangladesh offer the USA so that it...
Not unless it's an emergency or if they want some trainers. Unlikely.
But we know that a production spec NLCA Mk1 is being built anyway. Fanboys can still keep hope.
Confirmation that NLCA has done maiden ski-jump off the aircraft carrier.
You may count how many nations have done this with an indigenous design. In the coming week, NLCA will prove better than MiG29K at taking the impact of arrested landings. Apart from the landing gear, this will also be a...
NLCA Mk1 has done successful ski-jump off INS Vikramādityan today.
People will start reporting soon. I can't tell if the reports are lacking because it crashed later or if it's because everyone's at the middle of the ocean. (Just getting the trolls excited.)
Nobody. This has been my stance since forever. At least I'm sticking to it. I think even Myanmar knows this, which is why they got just 6 Su30 to counter. BAF will trust the overpowered MiG35 against the underpowered FC1.
NLCA on INS Vikramādityan:

NLCA snagged the third wire on the deck. The target was second wire.
23 knots wind at the time of approach. Touchdown at 128 knots...
JF17 is a success story just like Su30 MKI in the same time period. We can all be proud about producing more than a hundred just in the last few years, with some indigenous demands in the design. Of course the MKI has a whole range of Indian avionics from Project Vetrivale and is in a whole...
Please avoid comparisons with JF17 for obvious reasons. LCA is an indigenous project whereas JF17 as of now, is a project intended to enhance Pakistan's production capabilities as well as have dependable numerical strength, which India achieved with the MiG21 in the 80s.
It's yet to be seen if...
FOC SP21 to SP24 to be delivered by March '20. SP21 in January, late due to a software upgrade.
From March, 12/year rate expected, thus FOC delivery complete by March '21.
SP25 to SP28 in advanced stages.
One airframe dedicated to Main Airframe Fatigue Test.
18 trainers will follow the FOC...
At least get the chronology right. American engines were chosen long before any Rafale came into picture. We realised long ago that Kaveri won't make it to LCA on time. It'd be unrealistic to hope otherwise about engines.
An effort was made to get the project back running with the help of...
