Tell me when you go to market only to buy bread then will shopkeeper give you butter along with it? No 1. AIP was not the requirement when Scorpene deal was made. I don't know from where you got this information that AIP was part of TOT. 2. New technology always take time to materialize...

Either you are immature or have some comprehension problem. Who is Prasoon Sengupta? Some engineer/scientist working in Safran or HAL? Was he involved in developmental work of Shakti engine? Are officials from both reputed company lying? Is website of Safran hacked where they gave detail about...

He is known as Prasoon Chor Gupta, you know that? Either you believe HAL + Safran or a yellow Journalist, its up to you. Both links are before you, its for you to understand and decide who is correct and who is wrong?

Its not a top secret, only thing is that our yellow journalists are not interested in whats going inside our R&D agencies, they are more interested in spicy and mirch-masala news.

Both engines have different power bands, but yes after successful development of our desi engine, we will surely replace 30% french content from Shakti engine. But it will take time, my personal assumption is minimum 4-5 years or could be couple of years more (purely dependent upon how fast we...

You are quoting the Indian work portion, 19 % contribution was from indian side. Total TOT agreement was for 70%, i.e. in phased manner France will transfer real TOT of engine, which is 70%. No one transfers 100% TOT, so we will be still dependent on France for rest 30% which could be overcome...

Your argument for Boeing and involvement of US companies for Tejas development is far from truth. 1. Scorpene got delayed due to Indian company, it always take time to absorb the new technology which you don't have. 2. Lockheed will be far better than Boeing as far as fighter aircraft...

You know the difference between Import and Made in India? Check your own post, no one said that these coaches are designed by India, but its made in India. Bombardier India - Sites and contacts

This was false news and was categorically denied by India as well as China.

Yes but during initial phase of project only and too for limited numbers. 'Made in India' Metro rolls out - Economic Times

It's not about my knowledge but about ground reality which fan-boys from my own country don't understand. Yes this deal is important because, this deal will bring hard cash for their future research for further developing Rafale, but still will be a small part of what they spend in R&D. Think...

Not correct. They not only will survive but flourish, this is a purely misconception that this deal is lifeline for them. Reason is quite simple, fighter plane is just one product of Dassault and they already have French air-force as their primary customer. If the deal goes down then I see just...

Yes but still Russian engineers assisted them, can it be said about China and US?? I doubt. Ok let us take case by case: F100-PW220 and F110-GE100 - Both are based on same base engine, to solve the issue of stall-stagnation and extremely short life and high maintenance (at that time). GE came...

Yes but only if they are compatible + decade of experience (France and USA, both in terms of engine and airframe). They did it just for experimental and study purpose. As far as F-16 and F-15 is concerned then it is very wise to remember that from the start of project itself 2 engines were...

Try to fit a 1000 CC engine into 500 CC bike!! It won't fit. For that to accomplish you need lot of time, money and structural changes. This is purely misconception that you can fit any engine to any fighter or can upgrade it with other engines available in open market. Please understand that...

They should only be concerned about their operational requirement, whether HAL assemble it or not, whether its imported or home made. Managing finances is the job of MOD or Finance ministry. Till few years back IAF was reluctant to support indigenous products, which is a shame. Initially...

Question is not that whether they have capacity or not, but question is why should they? Its not their work. Manufacturing or developing any military platform is totally technical and business oriented field, IAF don't have technical expertise even upto level of HAL, leave DRDO or NAL. Defence...

Please read the whole article Important point to note is that they are not independent units, they regularly take assistance from HAL engineers. Which means its a collaborative effort, where minor work or less complex work is done by IAF while complex work is left to HAL, NAL and DRDO.
