Hopefully by 2020 India will have adequate Submarine force...
Here is a video of T-90 going through some exercise in the desert.. looks like they have overcome some of the problems that were earlier reported such as poor thermal imaging, accuracy etc..
Indian Army's most lethal arm ? the T90 tank
T-90 is one hell of a beast that you don't wanna...
What about the Engine? Is the 1500 HP DRDO designed engine ready for trial?
How about the ERA? Is it going to be DRDO designed ERA or is it procured from outside?

Brazil looks more and more doubtful for Rafale as Lula is gone and the new
"el presidente" Madamme Rouseff is reportedly kissing up to USA, to make up for the lost ground in Lula snubbing the big brother.
Through Rafale is a good machine, no two ways about it. But as long as the congress is in...

10 targets tracked, 4 targets engaged sounds more reasonable. Its not me who is saying this please refer the Rosoboron Export catalog
Now regarding the Air...
China can have all it wants in its kitty.. See if we care. It surely will be a rip off from some existing designs obtained through espionage or blatant copyright violations... so stop gloating about your Chinese superior military might.. too hoots for that.
