Looks like some one wants media to make big news out of few months and get all the planes from France.

Hope it is the Indian one. The pace at which AESA for embraer was done I think we can definitely build one for ship. Lots is happening in radar front with Astra microwave and data patterns taking up most of the research along with CABS, LRDE, DRDL etc. Thanks to DPP for LRTR, now Indian...

India has klub-N missiles in our Russian submarines and they are nuclear capable. if they are then at least some of them are tipped for sure

The second picture exhaust nozzle of one is not fully open. Is it possible to utilizes thrust variations in different engine to take sharper turns or for other features? Can fighter aircraft land with single engine if one is failed.

It doesn't matter much if India doesn't become a very rich nation but having some one accused of massacre as the one who leads us, no way. We have over a billion population and we can try someone else but not him or any one with such background. I hope whoever comes make Indians more happier...

DRDO will test it with Agni once phase 2 of the program is in testing phase. BMD was initially just a technology demonstrator. since it was a success or rather a huge success its being implemented. Only in 2 cities right now cos mainly issue with LRTR. By the time Phase two is ready we will have...

The cost incurred for developing Tejas includes all infrastructure for developing and testing of all subsystems, building labs etc etc. Its so cheap comparatively considering the cost of infrastructure whihc can be used in AMCA and is being used for UAV and UCAV and in a way delay produces newer...

Normal road roller is just 10 Ton. Its called a 10 ton roller. And heavy rollers are not transported above even express highway bridges in developed countries unless axle load is reduced using huge low bed with lot of wheels. They take alternate routes. forget using bridges along borders. If it...

The cost includes training of crew in Russia and setting up some facilities in India, not sure what those are. I hope SBTF is also part of the deal

Not upgraded is not right. It was upgraded to Elta 2032 and Derby missiles plus a whole lot of other goodies not mentioned. IN started losing Aircraft on a regular basis(not just after end of service life) and they felt the platform is not reliable. It says 12 but it was just 6 or so when viraat...

I guess army is using/could use it to train troops with missiles nearing Shelf-life expiry. That could be a better way to test shelf life as well. If it fails shorten shelf life. It would be better than to just destroy those after expiry.

I don't think Argentina had any Migs.. They lost one Mirage III to sea harrier. Harriers stand no chance again Mig-29's. From what I know its one of the hardest aircraft to handle. (I know someone who crashed 2 in IN Navy both due to aircraft fault and ejected safely)

Hope they abandon this process of LUH and develop LUH in house. HAL has demonstrated ability to design and put in air LCH in 3 years and LUH could get IOC may be by that time too.. I don't think Cheetahs are in desperate need to be replaced and HAL is still building them. SInce LUH is not gonna...

So how much time does it take to develop a complete AESA radar once the T/R modules are ready? VKS says T/R modules are in testing phase and back end probably we can use same 2032 initially (similar to Elta 2052) I guess and then move on to completely indigenous one.
