We got into trouble bcz the MKI and FGFA most probably wont be optimised for low altitude deep ingress missions like DPSA ones of Rafale/Mirages type. If suppose we have MKI now and Rafales and later replace both with say AMCA we might end up building a lo-med combo of LCA Mk XX variant and AMCA...

I will divide my post in two halves. First half will be a bit about the roles and second half will be about timelines. About the Roles What i understand is inspite of modern fighter jets having multirole capabilities, the doctrine of IAF still follows the path of assigning roles based on...

ASAT will be used for satellites which are of strategic importance. You wont like to use an ASAT for micro or nano satellites.. Yes may be higher orbit communication satellites or high level of Military Recon ones can be targeted. For such a quick replacement it has to be GSLV as PSLV payload...

It's possible bcz 68 nano/micro satellites in LEO with lifetime of 60-120-180 days and having specific military functions The military requirements for space utilization can be considered to be: Communication High resolution imagery (satellite constellation to provide frequent revisit data...

:hitwall::hitwall::hitwall::hitwall::hitwall: Who writes these articles even not understanding what is what really.. Just write, flame bait and fuel the issues even more.. :angry:

What India needs is to to comprehensively look at two things A proper investigation to understand technical reason behind the crash - a system/sub system failure due to ageing aircraft, a faulty part or a human error as Mig 21s and its trainers are quite unforgiving type aircraft To properly...

Thanks @WAJsal for making it a sticky.

MOD has reacted to this already BTW thank god there is no hashtag yet.. Normally thats the way all of them spread the news.. So whats say #EmbraerScam or #EmbraerBribery or what not,, @GuardianRED - yes you are precisely correct as newspaper did not mention anything about India. In the...

A good topic. A long post. So please bear with me. First my opening remark Present IAF fleet planning is very simple. Divide the total number of aircraft as 20% light category 40% medium and 40% heavy far from ideally 40% light and 30% medium and 30% heavy. This actually puts us to basic...

Jugal R Purohit ‏@jrpur 3h3 hours ago Self-designed and built, Indian Coast Guard ship Sarathi joined the fleet today. The 123rd vessel of the force!

But honestly bro, you should see our mainstream media. The way they have been propagating F16 and F18 jets and so called engine tech sharing now, it makes me feel if any young guy goes to his/her engineering college, he will get a blue print and all the stuff at component level which he can make...

Point 1 Timeline wise -Technology evolution always continues so a plane developed 10-15 years back versus a plane being developed today will have changes in terms of using more matured and newer generation tech unheard and unused before. Capability wise - PAKFA, J20 and J31 are still without...

The upgrade package may get you latest technology but it cannot change the bird to leap frog into the next category above it. An example is Category 1 - F22, F35, PAKFA, J20, J31 Category 2 - Rafales, EF, Gripen NG, Su35 Category 3 - Su30 flanker family, F18, F16, etc etc This is an incomplete...

@anant_s is a solid poster and no doubt he should be in blue. I hope @Levina some review happens and all inactive title holders are removed and new batch is appointed. I have requested for more contests as well in multiple parts for junior members only, senior members and above without any...

Don't troll or irrelevant posts Don't poke fun or flamebait Keep it civil and no more memes pls On topic, it's a very good thing that finally such voices are now presented to all the world. For long there is a media campaign from our own country which does not represent such small significant...

The original contract does not specify any follow on. It's basically bcz of no other SSK project and utilization of existing resources which is planned as per naval sub program a further 3 was planned and is still under discussion. The scorpene news needs to be taken with a pinch of salt as too...

2 Russian sites and near Srikakulam US site. Russian one is VVER which Didi lost + another project by Rosatom US one is Westinghouse which is shifted out of Gujarat

Yes truly.. AP now will be hub for 5-6 nuclear power plant projects

This is expected bcz FGFA agreement needs to be done first for certain techs to down flow into super upgrade https://defence.pk/threads/rogozin-to-visit-india-to-fix-agenda-for-putin-modi-summit.448202/#post-8668147 Other deals which will be discussed is as under...

Originally Rustom 2 flight test was scheduled in July end and august first couple of days. It was suppose to do a taxi run and see if it can do a take off if the confidence level is high. That got cancelled at the last moment as checks revealed the overweight angle as well as the fact that its...
