Well JF was too quickly inducted, hence you have an aircraft that is not properly tested, hence the fatal crash in PAF. The reliability of JF is questionable at best of times, same goes for its Chinese weapons. With the Tejas, HAL/DRDO have learnt a lot when it comes designing and manufacturing...

^^^ Well most of the western rifles failed in Indian conditions. The SCAR/HK are nice but are quite expensive to be acquired in large quantities even for India let alone Pak. Basic civil versions in US alone cost upward 2500 bucks. The MCWS whenever it is cleared for production will be made in...

India's arsenal has crossed over well 300 for some time. Basic known production rates of strategic missiles shows that India has over 850 strategic missiles in its ever growing inventory, even if only 40% of the missiles are slated for nuke warheads, we are looking at 340 warheads . There seems...

INSAS 1B1 is a good rifle and people who use it stand by it. Sure it is an outdated but the gripes are really about the caliber really. Problem with IA is that they need to speed up the trials process and get this over with. We need this new rifle asap. 5.56mm should be a law enforcement round...

PN not scared of Harpoon? well then it must a joke of a Navy. Harpoon/SLAM/SLAM-ER/Exocet etc. are combat proven missiles capable of punching significant holes on surface targets, just because there are air defenses doesn't mean they can't hit. Besides what is the quality of PLAN's air defense...

Well the ABM would be heavily layered with both Exo and Endo atmospheric missiles and multiple launches would be done to assure kill. That said no ABM is 100% fool proof.

Well no doubts about Israel really here. As for Turkey, well they put it on the list in the forum. Technically Turkey might be powerful but they seem to be pretty cowardly the way they are so worried about fighting both IS and PKK at the same time

Israel (based on training/ Tech and experience) Saudi (good stuff in their kit) UAE/Eygpt & Turkey at roughly same level.

:hitwall: You really need to go back to school, ADA-DRDO is the design/ Development agency and HAL is lead integrators & manufacturer. ADA/DRDO designed the aircraft & whatever part/components could be sourced from local labs of the DRDO are managed by ADA, the rest is done by HAL and external...

It is quite silly to bash HAL, actually they have been a good integrator. One keeps forgetting that HAL when it comes to Tejas has delivered good build quality, keep in mind the LCA has been tested extensively from heat soaks of 50 degrees to cold soaks of -40, Tejas has taken off from Leh where...

common misconception, the most powerful weapon among the ones tested in 1998 was a thermonuclear warhead.

At Terminal velocities over Mach 24, none can stop. Actually the entire Agni series is pretty much unstoppable.

To say that the Pakistani's defeated the Soviets is all but a joke, the stuff that defeated the soviets are the advanced weapons provided by the CIA, without the stringer the Afghans were getting their asses hand to them. Pak was merely a nation where everything was staged. That said Gul's...

India has had an active weapons program since 1970's, if any one actually believes PAK has more nuke warheads that India is day dreaming. The average yearly strategic missile production alone in India shows that we on any day have more. Prithvi 1: Since 1994: 10-15 missiles per year, assuming...

Nice IAF/IN will be getting this soon

No one is taking tension for India, as an Indian I do care what India buys. As for Pak, they have to buy Chinese stuff because they can't afford other expensive birds.

If Rafale is 200 million is all inclusive, then the Super hornet all inclusive would be max 120-130 million. F-35 would be roughly the same as the Rafale or even cheaper. F-18 ASH unit cost would be around 70 million with all the new features. Pure block 2 super hornet would sell for 60 million...

Currently Air delivered nukes are at the moment deployed on Jags. Mirages are undergoing upgrades. Rafale is a good aircraft but the deal will mostly fail because the aircraft are not affordable even in small numbers. MKI is multirole aircraft and with Super MKI the IAF will be able to have long...

Its better to stop posting BS farticles like this. MKI on any given day can hold it own against all the aircraft currently deployed by our enemies. Terrain hugging can be done by Jags which are now being upgraded even more with new ground attack & air defence weapons. Rafale is not a nuke...

Well at least we forget to check our pocket, which can run deep, the average Pakistani mil deal are practically donations. When was the last time you paid for anything. As far as our deals are concerned its ok, they may get hilarious, we might order the Rafale or more MKI or another aircraft...
