HAL turf war. They dont wish to share LCA Mk1A production to L&T as on date. Its their survival instinct and wish to be monopolistic. Their contention seems to be investments already made from their side.Also they realise, L&T with better...
LOL, Not really Bro, if this approval is to be given in this NDA 1 term, i believe the following timeline may be best applicable

That would be a wrong assumption bro, assuming the MII line approval is given in march 2017 or max by Dec 2017, the line setup itself will take 3 years so consumption of time puts us in 2021. Again kit based assembly will require at least say 15-18 months for initial low production rate so 2022+...

but where did i say B8 is QRSAM
In fact i have clubbed QRSAM with Akash and Spyders
I am saying Barak8 will replace the lower end of S400 9M96E(upto 40km) with combination of Akash/QRSAM/Spyder. This is bcz 9M96E2 is upto 120 km so below that is our existing solutions.
Yes we are getting those components as that is a standard package. The customization include broadly
Using TATA chassis for most of the vehicles wherever possible
The number of command posts is much more allowing us to actually expand the units reach and also interconnect them with different...
Yes you are correct. The government reponds in hysteria bcz you see pigeons are a very strong union and mobilise lots of voters. Their protests to government is genuine.
Its like giving pigeons of Pakistan jobs which should be rightfully their's in this side of the border. That is why they...

As of today F35 may not be good, but some day the white elephant will mature. And its sheer numbers across the world and successfully integrating new weapons and stabilizing the coding issues over time, will see this as a much potent system. No doubt its more advanced than say F22. But its still...
Hearing something from the source
The deliveries will begin sooner than 36 months surely
The outer periphery as per contract is definitely longer as per the worst case schedule
The internal agreement seems to be supplying maximum aircrafts between 36-54 (18 months period) and finishing off the...
