I desisted from posting on this thread for a long time, thinking that this thread is a goner any moment. However, it seems to have survived, so here are my two cents! This info has been sourced from swerve @ kepubs which was also corroborated by a few other posters there. These fellas are...

Yaar, sach bata; Didn't you bluff thinking that nobody will take the pains of actually looking at the video and timing the turn?:lol: It takes 26 seconds to complete the turn in this video. This is a g limited test aircraft with incomplete opening of the g envelop, even then it is a...

Not a reliable write up! The author has quoted various experts saying various things and then he has inserted his own make believe figure of 40%. AFAIK, the engine, ejection seat and a couple of avionics are the only completely imported equipments on board the LCA. The radar is...

Here is another one for my friend peaceful! This is MMR on the Avro test hack. Few pics of hypersonic testing facilities..... Where art though, peaceful? :whistle:

Trolls bring out the best in us!:lol: Anyway, as you have quoted my post, check the context in which it was made. Also, I asked this Peaceful guy to back his claims about the LCA being an assembled craft which he is yet to do!

Well, if that is the case then it is time for him to talk S**t and troll somewhere else! :devil: Let us hope at least his buddy tanlixiang comes up with something sensible. Meanwhile, here is a pic of all those facilities described in my earlier post. (Imageshack seems to be playing up...

Peaceful, you have a very low attention span! You had asked the same question on the AMCA thread to which I had written a detailed reply. You have not gone through that instead you spread the same BS here. Anyway, here is the original post. There are many other pics in that thread...

Dude, what is this China/Russia block you are speaking about?:eek: Last time I heard Russia was in a long term strategic pact with India:azn:. Post some links, dude! Do not be delusional!;)

In 20 years, Indian warships could birth at Deigo Garcia. That is my prediction!:cool: US would do well to secure the Pacific and the Atlantic. Indian Ocean will slide out of their influence.:smokin: ......And the world will end in 2012! Your point is.......?:devil:

So, China does not have sweatshops, does it?:cheesy: Get real, dude! I'm not at all interested in a pissing contest here. What I ask of you is simple, name the foreign parts in Tejas to prove the point that it is almost completely (90-95% , I presume) foreign. Just name the...

Ever heard of a little plane called as Grippen? Lot of exports I hear! :azn: Also,support this claim (bolded) or be labelled as a troll. Engine and a few avionics are imported. The rest (even that does not make it a majority, mind you!) are sourced. Understand the difference. Sometimes, it is...

Captain saab,It was also the philharmonic that performed. Great ensemble. Loved the sarod jugalbandi! The show's over now!:cry:

Switch on the national channel! A very nice program being telecast live, with Indian Naval band presenting many of the best tunes ever!:mps: Do not miss it! A rendition of "Vaishanv Jan to tene" with some great saxophone being played now.

No bhai! Kaveri, SCB, FCS, advanced wind tunnels and others are all the basic building blocks of AMCA. The fancy roll out ceremony comes much later. Whenever we discuss whether India has the capability to design and produce something like AMCA, these issues are bound to get discussed...

Here it is :cool:....... (check the left upper corner) Though this one is shown in a newer engine proposed for use in UAVs. A few slides about the Indian SCB tech. Though a bit dated, unofficial sources claim much more progress.

Yup! It was mentioned for those who know the DSBs. The DSB tech was mastered by DRDO in 2000-2002. I remember a techfocus issue from DRDO about that in the same timeframe. Indian SCB tech is comparatively recent development, though we have indeed mastered it!

About the Kaveri program, I was one it's biggest critics. This program has suffered from worst of the project management practices. However, post successful test flights at Grumov, I had an in depth re look at this project and was surprised at how it has turned a corner. A look at the...

First of all, pray tell me what is a "complete" wind tunnel?:azn: Apart from what IndianArmy has enumerated, there is one more at IISc, Bangalore (two if you count their facility for rotorcrafts as a different unit). Also, one more Hypersonic wind tunnel is in it's final stage of construction...

That is a nice article. It does highlight some key issues ailing the Indian spy agencies. Press reports passed off as secret intelligence and poor recruitment policies have indeed been the achilles heel for us since a long time. There really is no substitute for a robust intelligence network...

^^Yup! Me too! Out with the goras in this world cup!
