Every country has the right to voice whatever concerns they may have.
Us on Chinese buildup: AFP: US concerned over China military build-up, Taiwan: admiral
they respond by saying "oh really"..... what about Taiwan?

The seeker mechanism is the same for the three missiles in question. In case of IIR used, it depends on the total number of detector elements which form a part of the seeker and the design of FPA. I am not aware of Nag's seeker but I doubt it would be better than the latest variants of any...
Well the IAF did not want to loose another project to delays and thus the new engine (E200, GE F414) will be used for LCA mk-II and NOT kaveri.
wrt MK-I, ADE/HAL have purchased the said engines for the first squadron (Link: GE - Aviation: F404-GE-IN20 Engines Ordered for India Light Combat...
Perfect sense :rolleyes:
Would pakistan be testing the missile? (giving india a pretext to make and test our own ICBM's) or will they be some uber missiles requiring no tests :whistle: ;)
On topic: It makes sense to wait for a decade or so before going for ICBM's. The fact is that most...
Agni 3/5 are enough for Pakistan and China, the two countries India seems to be worried about at this stage. So it makes sense not to go for ICBM's! What is needed is to have SSBN's with 10-12 SLBM's each having 3000-5000 km range! A fleet of 4 to 6 should provide india with credible second...
Isn't this a contradiction? "Buying ships" should imply defence deal! Defence deal inplies business (atleast for the country selling the ships).
I know of 2 Vikram class OPC's (indian coast guard) and a Sukanya class PV (indian navy) which are in service with sri lankan navy!
Ofcourse if...
I wanted to share some aircraft cutaways which I came across. I am posting those which are involved in indian RFP's!!

The Kiran-Mk II has older Martin Baker ejection seats which has a minimum speed limitation of 90 knots. :tdown:
IJT will have lightweight zero-zero ejection seats, model K-36LT manufactured by Zvesda
Good news with A-5 on track. Though having canisterized Agni is news to me. It would be better to focus on Agni - 3/5 series now that they are reaching maturity.
:what: IR seeker? This is news to me!!!
So there is a LRSAM which is different from NG. Clears up my previous confusion!! Good...
Everyone knows how accurate (or the lack thereof) the articles from strategypage are :lol:. I am amazed that members here are spending time reading it :rolleyes: !
I must add that they show the same kind of bias and bs when it comes to India or China :disagree:
IMO, mods should ban...
I had made my views clear in another thread as to why nuclear reactors is not the right way to go for Pakistan. I will try and make a detailed assesment here in order to further my assertion with some facts!
Costs:
Moody's Investors Service conservative estimate is of between $5,000 and...

As specified, NAL is the nodal agency involved. Being a CSIR entity, all other CSIR labs should be involved in some way or the other. Even ISRO has been roped in and they would be helping with materials/ production techniques, etc!
You can get a lot of information about RTA and other NAL...
