No.

Fleet "versatility" is here to stay. It is near impossible to afford but our security needs leave us with little option. The GOI and the MoD in particular could have simply insisted that the A-50 be used as a platform; the detractors should take into consideration that the IAF itself will have...

I see, so we are dealing with a severe victimization syndrome. No need to sweat over this, we'll spare you as we bathe in Bangladeshi blood, we'll spare you so that you may carry the tales of horror to your kith and kin around the world. Now, on to the point, no water or poisoned water, or...

"Operation Lungi Dance", bravo, you are now on my watch list for prospective talents.

I don't want to be harangued by Arundhati. First offence- You're an Indian, Second offence- You killed poor Bangladeshis you hegemonic tyrant, Third and MOST grievous offence- You did it in a manner which was obviously so phallic; it reeked of male chauvinism.:(:(

So do we poison all the water flowing into BD, or do we stop all the water altogether? It must be a pitiful death, a pitiful and gruesome death.

You're new to this forum perhaps; you are unaware of Operation Washout. Sigh, all the old hands are gone. Otherwise between me, @Oscar, @Hyperion and @SarthakGanguly BD and all BDians are as good as dead.

Damn it! We should have sent two destroyers; launched a full salvo of AShMs in land attack mode; just to remind them of their place in the scheme of things.

The amount of capital these yards will have to sink into training, setting up required infrastructure and the fixed cost will simply not make constructing a single submarine a viable option.

Why does the tax cut for the corporate sector surprise you? This is not something that Modi has done exclusively, this is not a hallmark of any particular party's budget, this is the common denominator of all budgets. Check the statement of revenue foregone in the Economic Survey, and every...

The main point of the mast mounted radar is for the Apache to provide target acquisition to its hellifres from defilade. After that the hellfires, being fire and forget missiles, do their job. This has allowed the Apache to sneak up on their opponents quite a few times, albeit it depends upon...

Let me rephrase my reply, by its design such a sensor is not the optimum solution for A2A engagements. Longbow can, because it has the required algorithms, that too not against MALE or HALE UAVs, so unless we incorporate the Longbow and somehow find a way to use the 4 hardpoints for both ATGMs...

Cannot be done with the millimetric-wave radar, it just isn't meant for that.

NLCA/Mk.2, whatever one calls it, will still have real estate restrictions. The base design of the LCA just did not have the required room for such modifications. The quantum by which fuel capacity will be increased is unlikely to to be astonishing like in the case of the Gripen-E and the number...

There are many more important matters and complexities with regard to the LCA. The testing and integration for the prospective AESA radar for one, it shall not be easy, to run it through all its modes, the fine-tuning of the targeting algorithms. It shall be a time consuming process, as...

ASAT weapons, much like a nuclear deterrent, require a clear demonstration to announce to the world at large, and our potential opponents in particular, that we can cause severe damage to their space-based assets. For us this is not a matter of technology but of political will and...

@MokshaVimukthi is referring to a millimetric-wave radar like the Longbow sensor on the Apache. The radar being referred to here is not meant for engaging other aircraft. Instead, it is meant to detect ground targets under all conditions and then provide target acquisition for a radar-guided...

Eventually they will get around to it and when they do, well either the project will get delayed or the IA will accept the LCH as it is with a MLU fitment of the radar, OR the IA will push for more Apache Longbows.

I am not the one putting forth that argument. Apparently the IAF is. At the moment the only guided munition the IAF is looking at is PARS 3, which depends upon target acquisition from the helos passive IR and tele CCD. As to whether the LCH should have a millimetric radar sensor, of course it...

A nose mounted radar will require re-engineering too, as to whether it would be easier than a mast mounted sensor, well that is a question which only the OEM can answer. As to who's fault it is, the IA cannot simply give the OEM money and ask them to integrate a sensor, its not nearly that...
