No doubt it will pay off if we can.make AMCA as per what's written as basic requirements. I really doubt that as stealth VLO fighter production is a long gestation project with technology being researched, evolved and absorbed by local MIC to handle such a project. LCA will work if and when we...

Yes bro, yesterday was a day when I was going through your and Austerlitz posts.. I am eagerly waiting for next portions of history series... Finish it as per your pace as yes you require all research material for that..

I have heard about 2052 and it's usage for indigenous project uaing the tot route. It's a smart move bcz we are window shopping and asking them to upgrade Air India Boeing MRO, Nagpur to handle all such aircrafts. This is basically to take their attention away from main frontline assets but...

About Rafales The 36 rafales is a package comprising of jets+support package +weapons at below Rs 59000Crs. The weapons is costly bcz we have bought both Meteors and other weapons. In terms of actual rafale cost, its at par with FrAF without the VAT angle and with a limited profitability margin...

I think it will be Rudra to begin with and if the relationship progresses than i forsee offering of Rudra+ LCH to Bangladesh, Vietnam, Myanmar, Afghanistan etc

Pentagon backs proposal to give US fighter jets ‘Make in India’ tag Shishir Gupta, Hindustan Times, New Delhi The Pentagon has backed proposals from US aviation giants Boeing and Lockheed Martin to manufacture top-line fighter aircraft as part of the ‘Make in India’ initiative. The proposals...

First India is no more non aligned at least as compared to before.. today India is a greedy country running after the so called interests as first priority. So many old relations may be given a quiet burial, quick new courting will be done and some will be given extra attention. Russia will...

Modi is clear about few things. One of them is courting USA into granting us favourable access to funds directly and indirectly. By being projected as an ally and in good books of USA and using that relation as leverage to move forward the relations with other nations is his chief gameplan...

Very much possible.. or else both sides would have seen bodies being piled up every couple of days.. that's why perhaps RAWs hand looks weak in the list of usual suspects. On top as I said political will is negligible when it comes to such ops being even given a go ahead even by PM directly...

My good friend and our usual UK contact point in MI6.:police: It's true the 007program training is tough, at times treacherous, even life threatening but as I always said to you field experience will help you shape much better.:wave: Look at @Vergennes .. he became a "man" when he did his on...

A point to make is both diplomats were suppose to fly back a day before for a tank exhibition. Implying Intel was accurate upto the previous day situation. Was the D day Intel not given or was it too late to abort such a mission? Was it still carried out to make it look that the power behind...

Solid article.. will need more time to digest what Mr Verma said.. it's one of the few points which connects the two incidents.. The eternal solution which we could not get ...

They were suppose to test a proto in July end this year when they got a shocker. As compared to required weight of around 1.8tonnes it's weight is closer to 2.3tonnes approx. With that weight it cannot sustain flight for time specified and range as well. Rustom2 needs to become leaner and...

There was financing issue in this project. First prototype was upgraded extensively. Second prototype crashed. This caused first proto to be checked rechecked, systems being changed and a lot of time it remained in hanger Third prototype was suppose to be under construction There was a talk...

its already a longer range in block III and beyond for sure.. Even earlier ones in Block II has extended range features.. we have done some smart things which will enable us to tweak all Brahmos to full range soon when they come for overhaul and life extension.

The question is not foreign procurement. The question was establishment of 2 separate submarine production line to arm our local MIC with cutting edge technology and utilise the skills and technology absorption for our local projects. The two lines timeline was not suppose to be overlapping...

@Darmashkian Speculated party is CIA. Other than a book source and some blogs not much is there in public domain.. But prime motive is clearly there.. Read this wholly Source: Russia in Space: The failed frontier? By Brian Harvey I am not passing the judgement but in all probability...

Russia won't offer either Borei tech or Yasen tech or even Kalina sub tech.. It's not so easy for any transfer and on top unless the tech is next generation, benefits to SSBN/SSN/SSKs is nil. We all have to understand the point of second sub line is for getting adequate technology and skill set...

Thx Bro, +++ the article+++ The Rafale fighter jet is believed to be the most dangerous warplane in the skies today combining semi-stealth capabilities with unparalleled thrust maneuvering providing air superiority. India’s quest to modernize its fighter aircraft fleet with the acquisition of...
