    Navy has a very vast and expanding mandate. We are in the midst of already doing joint EEZ patrols of Mauritius & Seychelles and one with Madagascar is in works. There might be a time in future when their airspace patrolling might also fall at the hands of Navy. Anyways these are long term...

    Rafale or F-18 will be Interim, TEDBF is Future, Mig-29k to be Retired : Navy

    40 years is the plan. So safe to assume 8000 hours. The Mig29UPG fleet starts to go out from 2032. The last should go out by 2035.

    A&N have 4 airbases. All are being upgraded. A new naval Air base for fighter jets is under construction at Karwar. So lots of possible applications in IN only. No. Su30MKI will start going out after 8000 hours. Will need a cheaper alternative than AMCA.

    Rafale or F-18 will be Interim, TEDBF is Future, Mig-29k to be Retired : Navy

    By replacing, I think they mean that from Carrier Based operations they will either be transformed into coastal based squadrons (like based in A&N) or maybe transferred to IAF. It's some time away. Let's see it's rollout first. 4 squadrons for jump desk. After that things are fluid. Depends...

    DRDO successfully carries out maiden flight of UAV The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is called the ‘Autonomous Flying Wing Technology Demonstrator

    There's a realisation now that one doesn't need the best. One needs a decent working machine which can be replaced locally during or before a conflict. Iran has done tremendous work in that area. We have a lot of catching up to do in the area. But now that the efforts are being put in, I am...

    DRDO successfully carries out maiden flight of UAV The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is called the ‘Autonomous Flying Wing Technology Demonstrator

    The thing you didn't noticed is the video is actually stitched together. And there are 2 different versions. One with stabliser and one without. The one without it can be spotted during the landing and touchdown. There are 2 different prototypes flying.

    DRDO successfully carries out maiden flight of UAV The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is called the ‘Autonomous Flying Wing Technology Demonstrator

    It's actually a scaled down model of concept study. So it will not serve in its current form. The Flight control systems developed on this thing will go on a wing concept UCAV. That will have an engine with a dry thrust of 40-50kN. So kind of atleast twice as big as RQ170. Only thing is that...

    DRDO successfully carries out maiden flight of UAV The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is called the ‘Autonomous Flying Wing Technology Demonstrator

    It took a year from its taxi trails to first flight, and that too for a scaled down model? Should have atleast been half the time taken.

    Friendly is not a term I would use. Mutual benefits is what it is, with respect to PRC. As far as Islamabad goes, that's difficult. Really difficult.

    India’s Top Cement Maker Paying for Russian Coal in Chinese Yuan !

    When Galwan happened, we didn't see a single western nation pledging a single bullet to our help. We know we are on our own.

    PM approves import of coal from Afghanistan in Pakistani currency

    From 20 to 30%. Seems an important revenue source for Afghanistan. But will definitely bite the small time users in Pakistan.

    Pakistan's participation in BRICS dialogue blocked by a member state: FO

    What do you think the purpose of BRICS is? It's an attempt at creating a financial system in alternative to western led ones. And the fact that the development bank founded by 5 nations is already funding some projects now, It's not useless, atleast for those who are members and using the funds...

    Eleven Native Kashmiri Pakistanis martyred in last 48 hours

    Hopefully Pakistan stops supporting them. That is the only way for peace between two countries. Because slowly and slowly the socialist mindset of India's political elite is changing to capitalistic. There will come a time , if this continues that the same is repaid. For every Chinese AK found...
