I do. Which week's edition? Lemme know and I will get back asap!

Found this interesting article! link: http://ceoworld.biz/ceo/2010/03/04/indian-mrca-competition-who-will-win

I am happy indians are incresingly looking at the Americans and Israelis!

When did I say that :rolleyes:? I said we should not hold the defence of the country hostage to DPSU's and their performance! All the talk of joint projects et al..... they never provide us with so called "technology". These projects invovlve the transfer of complete systems from the partner and...

DTBM's or quasi ballistic missiles are many in number. Though I will agree that Shaurya might have the longest range among them! here are a few examples of depressed trajectory (Quasi ballistic missile) which are all capable of lower trajectory flights & maneuvering... Shaurya (added...

In my earlier posts, this is what I say. It will not matter to IAF provided "they get the technology they want". If IAF is a professional organization (which it is), they will go for the best possible systems (as per requirements). That's all there is to it! Thus my point is if IAF makes sure...

Yes and all that has nothing to do with IAF per say. IAF only cares for a system which fits/ exceeds its needs. It does not matter if DRDO fails to develope a good AESA for LCA. IAF would simply ask DRDO to integrate a scalable AESA (Northrop Grummen is already putting up SABR as an option)...

I would agree that the second option is much better. I am not sure about the availability though! The USAF being the expeditionary force that it is, the different commands are known to have a tough time allocating these refuellers. They may be able to get some surplus! How about retrofitting...

Wow..... way to derail threads!! No wonder Chinese have become so famous for their efficiency :P! I would have to hand it to them... they know how to post with "mechanized" almost inhuman speeds! :lol: I am adding one chinese to my ignore list every day! They are so many in number that it...

Times now: My favourite: M270..... The same base can be interchanged for use as ATACMS launcher as well. Depending on the type of rocket, range goes upto 70 kms. Also with ATACMS, the range goes upto 150+ km. AS MLRS: Another close development: HIMARS Again can...

No it is not! This is the vanilla pinaka. There were plans to upgrade the pinaka rockets with trajectory correction/ GPS/ laser, etc. Also there is the possibility of larger rockets but I am not sure if that would happen. If it does happen (and it would require a change in the entire design!)...

I never said we "don't need ToT"!!!:rolleyes: I said the level of ToT is defined by the RFP. The RFP typically involves local engine mfg./ maintainance (as was the case with Su-30). Afterall, IAF has also learned a lot from its past mistakes or rather experience. The issue has been the...

I need not talk about LCA (why should I?) Being an Indian, I have been tought not to do so in a pakistani forum :rolleyes:. Just to give you a few examples of systems which could very well compete with JF-17: 1) Mig-35 2) J-10A/B 3) F-16 blk52/60 Please remember that any upgrade package...

The DOD report does not talk about any test (Apart from the ASAT test). It talks about the continued development of area denial systems including the said (DF-21) system. Anyhow, I would not expect a report as I have myself spent quite some time trying to find a credible source to no avail! I...

IMO, Pakistan should look at any possibility of export. There is no doubt that jf-17 is a great aircraft in its class, the fact is that with time, we will be seeing more and more systems which are in direct competition with the thunder. Over the next few years (maybe a decade), the JF-17 may no...

Lol.... NG has been saying that for quite a few things! Supposedly Phalcon is of no use and we should go for B737 MESA AWACS. Elbit DIRCM is useless and we should go for AAQ24's. Navy will be of no use without their uber E-2D :disagree: hungry wolves all having a go at the body huh...

There are other non chinese systems as well.... I can think of Hades system, The russian Tochka, Oka and Iskander systems as well as US ATACM. I was curious about the DF-21 test as I have heard a lot of stories but never came across any report of tests! I would appreciate if you could provide...

Could you provide a source for the said test? Was it tested against a target moving at 30+ knots? I would appreciate a verifiable source. thanks!

That is if the Barak is better than the "downgraded Aegis" right!! Aegis is just another candy. US has been trying hard to lobby products to the armed forces and have shown pretty good sales records. I think we should expect them to win big deals in india for multitude of reasons! I have...
