    India gets World’s first International Liquid-Mirror Telescope!

    It's India's first , not the world's first. Large liquid telescopes go back as far as 1990s. What do the idiots who claim world's first think people at NASA are doing with a bigger budget? Over exaggeration is vain. Stick to facts.

    Meet HAL Dhruv ALH Mk-III and IV: India-made advanced attack helicopter for IAF - IN PICS

    HELINA has been tested but no deal signed yet, meaning integration is still pending. Any non linear missile, i.e greater than 10km range will need a MMR for targetting. Mi35 has a small one, so it can use SANT. Dhruv doesn't.

    Not an attack helicopter. More like a scout helicopter. Never seen an attack helicopter without the ATGM.

    India negotiating purchase of more Apache and Chinook helicopters: Boeing official

    Whenever a deal is signed, even that makes to the news. It may be for just 3 tugboats. But it makes the news. You don't need some super secret access to information. Every bit of Indian defence spending is out in the open for people to check up on. Everything single thing. Like what exact amount...

    IAF using terrestrial space enabled capabilities to ensure high degree of network centricity,Space-Based Assets Enhance Air Power Potency”

    Let's wait for the additional GSAT7 to get up there. Right now with a single unit, it would be difficult for IAF to handle all the load. And Army is also sharing the capabilities. Atleast 6 communication satellites are planned. One replacement for Navy's older satellite, another satellite for...

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions [Thread 2]

    It's a logical choice cost wise. India has already paid for ISE upgrades, so when Chosen, money won't be required for any India specific changes , but other platforms will need it. Additional basing infrastructure for 36 more Rafales already exists, so some cost is reduced there also. Initial...

    Indian Air Force News & Discussions

    By your logic then only tail numbers till 20 should exist. But tail numbers upto 28 are flying. Are they imaginary? SP35 is flying, meaning 31 out of 32 single seaters have been rolled out.

    Defence Minister Rajnath Singh announces Agnipath scheme to strengthen armed forces, Future Ready Soldiers !

    It's just an indirect way of saying we are making the regular force slimmer. Instead of cutting positions, we are giving those to tour of duty guys.

    India negotiating purchase of more Apache and Chinook helicopters: Boeing official

    I am saying that media gets paid. They print things saying "it's going to happen". I am just asking you to list things which actually happened or got signed. Regarding the emergency powers , it's a power given to service chief to import something under 35 million USD quickly. This was...

    India negotiating purchase of more Apache and Chinook helicopters: Boeing official

    Not really. Heavy lift Helicopter were always a requirement. Only recently as and when funds are available, they are being bought. It's a straight contest between Mi26 and Chinook. While Mi26 can carry more, Chinook got more utility and better availability. Therefore it was chosen. For attack...
