Allowing 150cc bikes will cause more accidents. High capacity bikes are generally very stable at the prescribed speed of 110km/hr and can do overtakes smoothly. Those riders (above 500cc) are also generally more responsible with much to lose in life.

It should be obvious that we're talking about low rpm torque. That agility is much more valuable than running from gunships at 10km/hr faster at high rpm, which makes no difference. Might help if you're tailing civilian cars to run over like the Americans. Engine is always available. But DRDO...

BJP is no more a party with ideology, good or bad. All they want is to improve their permanent vote bank. In my opinion, no large scale harm will come to Hindustani Muslims. There's just too much for India to lose. Selfishly speaking, I'd like NRC in my state. There'll be no mistaken identities...

The transmission has been tuned. I'm unaware of any modifications to the engine, which is possible, and that's why I said power train. To be precise, the final drive is modified. Mk1A does have better torque and acceleration, translating to agility. This is valued over high speed. The...

You're right. Sorry for the meteorological sensor snub. BEML has been given contract to build TWMP compatible with all tanks (a Russian design), but it's bigger and probably not meant as standard equipment for this tank. But I want to add that the write up talks only of evaluations. It's seen on...

Where did you see that, sir? TWMP is made by BEML (Bharat Earth Movers Ltd). In fact, they've a TWMP and a FWMP. In fact, they even have an Armoured Recovery and Repair Vehicle based on the Arjun. The program has given us a few things that can be used elsewhere, including on Russian tanks...

68 tons include even those plows. Arjun is the right weight for a heavy tank. Unfortunately it'll find merit in the Indian Army only once if Pakistan buys say, the Altay or Abrams. Forget the foreign components. That'll be localised only when the tanks are ordered in the hundreds. Until then...

In reality, the Maruti Gypsy was just one of the vehicles that the Indian military loved, among the Jonga, MM540, Sumo etc. Reasons being small size, reliability, homemade, and simply what's not to like in the thing. It's also the longer wheel base model btw. Now that Safari Storme is used for...

In India, most (and only) luxury cars are CKD. That'd make about 40k-45k units annually. We've to also count brands like Volvo and Mini although not exactly luxury. SKD cars are rare in India if I'm correct. It's either CKD or CBU for higher end cars. Bikes are a whole different discussion and...

The message is loud and clear. "Don't dare touch a Reddy ever again". (Or perhaps those who gave the rape order are now free.) You think now women can expect these killings of rapists routinely? What a joke. Our police can't properly investigate a f**king crime scene and now Indians are...

Like I said, some Indian defence equipment lacks proper maintenance, but a hitjob should be recognised when it talks about the missile carrying truck suffering a puncture and its fuel tank having a leakage, and then titling it as "OMG AKASH SYSTEM'S IS A GONER". That's all they can do now after...

Maybe. But it's noteworthy that none of the complaints are about the accuracy and performance of the Akash system anymore. IAF is very happy with the system. But poor maintenance is a real problem for us and it'll mean everything in war.

If we ignore a hitman article on behalf of Saab & LM with some atrocious laughable data, what we know is this: In Gaganashakthi-'18, Tejas did six sorties per day on all airframes in service, totalling 9000 sorties. The Tejas employs CFC materials for up to 45% of its airframe. The use of...

Not completely unused. Indian MiG29 are called Baaz.

I'll be a nice guy and legit suggest Tropic Thunder for Blk3. Or Thunder Dragon if you wanna be less Hollywood. :tongue:

Rafael should take a dig at DRDO when Spike can clear desert evaluation. For years we've seen this Spike propaganda against DRDO and it'll continue since the cancelled deal stands cancelled and this was an emergency procurement.

Don't be surprised if we see firing tests soon. It seems ADA is leaving no stones unturned in making Mk1 a fully developed DBF, regardless of weight. It's all good data that'll contribute to TEDBF.

NLCA takes off ramp with 2xBVR (Derby) and 2xCCM (R73) in launch capability expansion:

Production of the Safari has stopped as it won't be made BS6. Hexa will likely continue as BS6. I'm so glad that the H7X (now called GRAVITAS) wasn't given the Safari name. Only a true SUV deserves it and I hope that the name will return on a big bulky future SUV. Until then, here are some ads...

Upload it to PAC servers. A virus, trojan or worm, anything would be an upgrade. :cheers: tejas.exe
