Please see the Indian emergency services thread. Even states like Odisha are equipped with dedicated SWAT teams
and all. That there is a common constable and doesn't really need anything more than a .303 bolt-action.
Cops stationed in states like J&K, for instance, are suitably equipped with...
That's not relevant to the topic, MF-STAR radar/EMDINA Combat Management System in IN service will be networked
with India's radar, sub-surface, and space-based assets, networking is a very basic aspect of modern naval warfare and
IN, well on it's way to becoming a true blue water navy, knows...
How many ZDK-03s? One ? Two ? In an actual full-scale war, all tri-services of India & Pakistan will be engaging each other
at one point or the other, in such circumstances, PAF itself will require as many AEW aircraft as available to support the
fighters & ground forces. Remember neither ZDK...
Yeah, Saurav Jha recently said IAF would opt for around 220 LCAs...considering all the planes after the first 40 would be
Mk-2s, that leaves upto 180 jets of this block. Even a repeat order of 83+83 (166) would be extremely feasible.
I don't expect LCA Mk-2 to fly anytime before 2017. Considering the first F414 engine would arrive in 2015 only and
much work needs to be done after that. But the good part is, Mk-2 will indeed be a potent LMRCA once it actually comes,
with or without AESA in the first batch. (it would...
I don't see the need for an IJT while we have competent BTTs and AJTs, what we need now is a LIFT (for which we can
derive one from LCA twin-seat version).
What about the ship itself? Where are the engines and all coming from? Probably from US/NATO again, right?
And exactly how much of the ship itself is Turkish?
Just like T-129 helo, it cannot be sold to third parties without OEM authorization.
Do you realize you are talking nonsense? Tejas is meant to replace MiG-21, so it must have capabilities exceeding that of
MiG-21, these capabilities take time to be integrated, and got delayed on the way. It was possible to declare Tejas "operational" many years ago, without having any of these...
NEW DELHI: Micromax has overtaken Samsung to become the largest mobile phone supplier in India in Q2 2014, according to independent market research and consulting firm, CounterPoint Research.
As per the report, Micromax's handset shipments share was 16.6% in the quarter while Samsung's share...
Nothing is confirmed as yet, we might still end up buying M777.
But personally, I hope the order goes to Kalyani ULH, which also happens to be designed in collaboration with a US company, and costs a lot less.
AIP systems increase the maximum submerged period allowable on conventional submarines, but while doing so, they're
speeds are within 5 to 8 knots at most (for a submersion period of 18 days). With this speed, no sub is going to catch up with any frigate or destroyer capable of dash speeds...
I do not think Pakistan has capability (or requirement) to procure something to counter Kolk.
What have they procured to counter Shivalik? That frigate with 8 AsHMs and 56 SAMs itself poses a more
persistent surface threat to PN right now than any recently-inducted Kolk would do. Plus all 3...
