Wrong, can you identify this flying thingy? It flew way before any J20 and was a strike fighter!:eek:
Come on general Hong Wu, You can do better than that!:devil:
Also, if you believe that The J20 will be inducted before the F35............
Gal, your favourite word seems to be "obsolete" so I request you to point out the no. and description of techs that are "obsolete" in the current Arjun mk1. And then we can take you seriously.
I respect a guy like somebozo who at least tried to put up his objections about Arjun with some...
Nobody is comparing the Arjun to future tanks but that does not mean it is obsolete. A military always has a high- lo mix of weapons. Even America is persisting with the F18, why?
AFA silhouette is concerned, here is what Lt. Gen. Niranjan S. Malik, former Deputy Chief of Army Staff has to...
@Styx,
Dude, I have been very polite to you. Will you respond to my query ?
1. Thanks!:lol:
2.a)Ak is lighter- yes.And your point is?
b)More fuel efficient--maybe/maybe not, russian(ukrainian) engines are not known for their fuel efficiency while Europeans are known just for that...
Sir, that is your opinion, not necessarily the truth!:disagree:
Will you please elaborate what deficiencies you still find in the Arjun that render it inferior from operational PoV?
Thanks for the link.
I could not find any significant advantage that AK has over Arjun, except maybe ERA (of which there is no mention in the given article).
Smoothbore/ rifled bore, Autoloader/ manual issues have been discussed to death and I think if IA says it does not need an...
I'd like to give it a read, please provide the link. Though it would be near impossible to discuss both tanks here without having a slugfest.
If you can just put up a post detailing the points about Arjun which make the Al Khalid superior from operational PoV , it will be much on easier. As...
While Arjun may not be a top of the line tank when compared to new models being developed (esp. the korean one); it is certainly not obsolete with respect to the threat matrix it faces!
Many of the 'deficiencies' listed in this article have already been ironed out in the mk1 itself. If you...
Remind me of :
In terms of sheer idiocy; your media is Sh***y as ours!
" Jo sheeshe ke gharon mein rahte hain wo dusaro ke gharo pe patthar nahi feka karte!":sick:
In wartime, a portion of the total crafts are dispersed from their home bases to other places based on operational requirements.
If we have say a squdron of Su 30 mki at Jamnagar, in war it is not necessary that all 18-20 crafts will operate from Jamnagar only.
Read about 1971 battle of...
Hong Wu,Hong Wu whatcha gonna do?
whatcha gonna do,
when they come for you?
Hong Wu Hong Wu whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do ,
when they come for you?
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
Thank you for the kind words, sir! But the real credit goes to these brave soldiers of the gorilla army!
BTW, here are a few more pics of gorilla war.....
The secret agent gorilla
Jungle warfare specialist gorilla stalking the enemy soldier:eek:
A 200 kt device (though for test purposes scaled to 40kt) should be more than a pin prick, especially with MIRV tech (being developed for Agni V and perhaps K4)
Also note the technologies that were tested in pokharan II, that leaves little doubt in mind about what india was trying to...
I wouldn't be sure of the first part. Indians are as secretive about their nuclear program as any chinese high level defence project. Expect similar surprises.
I'm astonished that very few posters, if any mentioned the delivery systems before this. That indeed is India's achilles heel...
And at this point Mr. Hong Wu simply sank into la la land!:alcoholic:
Wargaming is a serious business and should be left to serious professionals!
A 'pointless' article indeed....
The definition and criterion of "induction" varies from Air force to Air force.
In LCA's context, after achieving the IOC; the IAF will raise two operational squadrons of LCA and normal (i.e. not test pilot) fighter jocks from the IAF will get a chance to fly this craft into IAF.
This IMHO...
