Taiwan signs for two OHPs 190 Million USD for two vessels

My Take :- IDN should move on to writing cookery articles . The admin likes to " cook up". Would be helpful in cooking field lol.

Mind it , its 96 million USD a piece for our Rafale. I wonder the " Business Line" can contact their masters [who paid then to write this] , for an aircraft with Rafales capability , cheaper than it ?

When IGA for S400 , Ka226T and 4 Frigates were signed, there were around 7 behind the door agreements too. And upgradation of Brahmos, upgradation of Klubs, and other Russian Missiles in Indian inventory was one of the secret agreements.

Not 4 billion USD. Its 2.96 Billion USD, including investments required to upgrade the shipyard to build frigates. That's some 700 million USD.

Its 15+ years. Further the figureon Wikipedia is what is being quoted. Do you know that Barak 1 and associated equipment, Towed Array Sonar, and many other things were procured later and then added to the P17s. We have spent near 650 on P17s . And lot of time has elapsed since. Lol, there is...

Our own P17A, NGC and NGMV are under works. But they are not sufficient for the projected needs . Further we are on the verge of decommissioning 3 older frigates and also adding IAC1 in coming years. This would mean we need atleast 6-8 more frigates by 2021. But the P17A won't come so soon...

All said and done. Apart from Denmark[and the USN's LCS] , no other nation [which operates any OPV] can up arm the vessel during a war. Untill and unless a war will last more than a week. You see their [Denmark's ] StanFex Module System is a wonderful thing. @Penguin

●List of ex-USN OHPs [Which are kept for FMS] Halyburton[FFG40], Klakring[FFG42], De Wert[FFG45] , Vandegrift[FFG48] , Robert G. Bradley[FFG 49], Carr[FFG52], Elrod[FFG55] , Simpson[FFG56], Kauffman[FFG59], Rodney M. Davis[FFG60] 10 Ships. Mexico, Thailand and Taiwan are looking for more...

Lol, the last date of filling the RFQ is still 30 days away and SAAB has already won? This shows how much desperate they are. Lol.

Possible. [For F22P] The requirements primarily are the 1) Radar , can be easily done. 2) Integration into the combat system management of the Vessel. Given its origin from China it can also be done. But a new combat management system derived from the Type 054A class should be better. But...

Daulat Beg Oldi is 5100 meters. There a difference of 2000 meters , and those who have had studied basic Geography in schools will understand that its no small . Most continents have their highest peak under this point. Unlike few nations who bomb their own land and citizens, India Cares for...

In whole December - January period , IAF carried out more than 23 evacuation missions under very harsh weather conditions to save the lives of around 130 locals and tourists who were trapped in snow and avalanche. This accident happened in the same period. Any Indian feeling bad about the lost...

Yes. More than the price, its the life. Just few weeks back , IAF with the same Aircraft had rescued 100s of civilians from extreme weather. Hindus obviously will choose life over aircrafts.

Search for some news kid.IAF had just few weeks back run a small evacuation, saving 100s from the sane area, in the same weather and at day/night operations. We bought them for this purpose only. If we start doing what you are saying , we are better off with just An32s. No requirement for...

Lol , get a airfield at 5000 meters elevation first and then operate your C130s there. It will not take more than 1 flight each to find a accident for those B and H versions. Remember this, if we want to operate this capability at 5,000 meters in rough weather , at night , we will have to take...

Of course no big deal till the crew is safe. More than deep pockets , sane Indians understand what is operating a Transport Aircraft at 15000feet is.

They are for a carnival there, isn't it ? Dim wit, they are transporting important items there. And before questioning them, find me one example of any Air force operating a transport aircraft with 20 ton load capacity at that heights during rough weather at night ? There's non !

The crew should be safe. As for Aircraft , we have enough resources to replace them.
