Guys why even bother dealing with these losers? They are bitter; their so-called "homegrown" fighter was designed,tested and produced in China and is STILL inferior to even the Mk.1 LCA, they don't have HMD integrated or even a 2 seat variant and they have the gaul to attack the naval variant of...
This is the key- increased outsourcing to private sector with HAL taking the role of lead integrator. With no addtional infrastructure HAL can up production capacitt to >20 units/year without adding any physical infrastructure but by increasing the outsourcing content to 85%.
@Unknowncommando truly awesome work bro!
Most disappointing units are from Goa,Tripura and Rajasthan
Most impressive- Mumbai, Maharastra, AP, Gujarat, UP and Karnataka although really every unit could do with a slight upgrade.
+ as always, the unit from the capital of India disappoints...
AFAIK the IA had trailed this out in the 90s but with mixed results, now the tri-service Special Ops Division (SOD) to be later transitioned into a full fledged combat command (SOCOM) will be the way foreward.
To support 15 fighters the ammount of support infrastructure that would need to be created would be immense and it would all have to be brand new as the PAF has not previously operated the EFT nor does it have maintainence facilities for the major elements (radar, avionics, engine etc) found on...
It's the 71st Independace day it really isn't rocket science. I don't know where this sudden fascination for how India elects to nominate its Independace day celebrations is coming from- this has been how India has done it for SEVENTY YEARS.
Where were you clowns last year (70th Independace...
It's simple- 1947 was the first independance day, 70 years later India marks its 71st Independance day- 1+70=71.
It's not the anniversary of the day that is being celebrated but the day itself.
Some are getting themselves confused because they are using the base year (1947) as 0, instead it...
BD media, what more can I say?
India's "smart fencing" mission is well known by now, it's not my fault this buffoons are unable to do a 5 second google search before pennig such nonsense...
Are you clowns unable to read English? Clearly the Israeli content is their technologies (anti-intrustion systems, unmanned ground listening posts, automatic tracking CCTV etc etc) but your rabid hatred has blinded you to apply even a modicum of critical thinking.
+ Pathetic reporting by BD...
With the orginal P-17 the IN was exposed to modular construction for the first time, with P-17A they are going to see the benefits of multiple contracts for parallel construction of a single order. Hope the IN orders larger quantities in the future (not 3-4 units at a time) so as to be able to...
Nice! From 2023 2 of these beasts will be delivered every year and all 7 will be in service by 2025.
I hope the IN learns from this project and appreciates the benefits of simultaneous production.
