Is Akash based on a 1960s Russian missile?

Only the Airframe of LCA is indigenous. There won't be Kaveri based engine ever. This engine had undetected design flaws, hidden well for many years by GTRE/ DRDO from Govt & Public. Now, they are trying to rebuild on Kabini Core under project entitled K9+. Another initiative called K10 in...

If it is a 100% FDI from Lockheed, and they buy back/ export the entire production, we Indians can consider. At least the venture will generate employment and some revenue to Govt. But the bigger question is who will buy Viper? Countries all over the world are phasing out F-16.

Try and Beat This! Russian PAK FA Stealth Fighter Sets a New Record Published February 20, 2016 SOURCE: SPUTNIK The PAK FA (T-50), Russia’s new fifth-generation fighter, sets new standards of excellence during a routine test flight.During testing the aircraft managed to achieve a 384 meters...

Who says? Then why twin-engine AMCA is being developed or PAK-FGFA is proposed to be joint produced?

F-35 is not shaping up as good as the previous F-22/ Raptor. But Raptor is not for export, leave alone being assembled outside US. F-16 falcon, is unwanted by IAF. If Pak gets the Viper version, then India may think of assembling it just to be familiar with its strength & weakness. If india can...

Whether you agree or not, Pakistan has one of the most elite militaries in the world and although an Islamic state, Pak is modern compared to largely primitive Iraq.

This approach, my friend, is not right. India has always been weak in fundamentals. If we had a viable grounds up approach, today we wouldn't have to put up with humiliations heaped upon us by foreign companies and Govt. in the form of Technology denials, overpricing, sanctions, withholding...

The more i think about it, i am having a sneaky suspicion it was a test as part of our MIRV program. Reason being MIRV program building blocks are being readied for our Agni series and now with Arihant online with us (meaning almost reaching operational acceptance post trials) and Aridhaman...

See today's Times of India. The phone will be assembled from parts imported from Taiwan and will not be subsidized by any Govt. agency. However, two things to be noted. The promoters of this company are all 'Goels'..probably from same family. They claim to deliver all phones booked by 30th June...

I have 2 queries: 1. What is the exact difference between flying-wing & Delta wing, since both have Delta shaped wings covering the entire fuselage? 2. Since hard points under both the wings have to carry equal weight for balance, how it is maintained once a missile or bomb is fired from under...

Should India also join in the US led alliance and offer bases to US army in J&K and Arunachal Pradesh to add to the discomfiture of China?

Notable exception: Indonesia, An OPEC country with largest Muslim population. Iran, Only industrialised Islamic nation with proven capacity in nuclear and space science.

I said I was not counting Marut for a specific reason. The world of aviation and aeronautical engineering went through a sea change after WW II. Turbo-fan replaced turbo-prop, hydraulic-mechanical controls were replaced by fly-by-wire avionics, aluminium body replaced by alloys and...

Tejas was more of a learning process. India never designed/ made a warplane before, except Marut which I am not counting. Many new facilities, testing rigs, composite materials, sensors have been made locally for the first time. These are the real achievements and they will come in handy when...

Not to talk of Engine, avionics suite, radar, stealth paint...even cockpit seat will be imported. Scramjet is not suitable for Fighter plane which needs to decelerate suddenly.

Wait another 6 months. Poor HAL will be asked to make Rafale, PAK FGFA, F-16, Grippen, besides AMCA.

Is it true, except for Airframe, nothing is indigenous in AMCA?

Inexperience of Modi to run a federal govt. is showing.. on every issue his cabinet is goofing up8-)

I have seen clips of F-16 , a 70s technology plane, doing more spectacular maneuvering.
