Good news. The test has been on the cards since last year. I am waiting for the test of AD-1/AD-2 though! All the best to DRDO! BMD is critical for national security!

You have every reason to be proud of Dhruv and defend it as and when you deem fit!! There is nothing wrong with Dhruv! Back to topic, It would seem that the new Dhruv simulator (coming up at HAL) would ease up the burden of pilot training to some extent and enhance airframe life of these...

“Now I think I’m going down to the well tonight and I’m going to drink till I get my fill. And I hope when I get old I don’t sit around thinking about it, but I probably will. Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture a little of the glory of, well time slips away and leaves you with...

Aegis Combat system information including command loops, BMD, etc: AEGIS Combat System The LM proposal comes with south korean KDX-III design base: PS: Aegis is the term used for the armor of Zeus and Athena, from which the expression "under the aegis of" meaning "under the...

Amazing!!! :disagree: Anyhow, These are deployment trials being conducted to decide the role of the Arjun in any future war. We should however look out for the next avatar of Arjun which has the potential to be ordered in larger numbers. things to look out for: New NERA under...

There are a number of techniques available. To give an example of an active anti-torpedo defence, take a look at Paket E/NK anti torpedo system: PAKET-E/NK ANTITORPEDO MISSILE SYSTEM | Russian Arms, Military Technology, Analysis of Russia's Military Forces There are other systems I...

chinese already cover pretty much all of Taiwan straits and the island itself. They have S-300 & HQ-9 units apart from other medium/short range systems deployed. Planeman's blog-site can give you a very good idea of the defences (check for fortress china or chinese naval power).

AFAIK, russians have had no experience with flying boom operations. For IAF, they need the same to take care of the new inductions such as the possible C-17, P-8, XYZ. I am pretty sure that such solutions are available only with the west.

Dude is this thread about Saffron Bandit :disagree:? We are talking about a media extravaganza here meant to reassure the people of india! they get that reassurance when they see mock terrorist camps being blown! It has nothing to do with the preparedness of the Air Force. I am sure it is...

Theoretically, yes. (max. target speed - 4.8 km/s)

The price quoted by the media (Indian) is for the aircrafts alone. It does not include service/ spares/ support/ weapons package, etc. eurofighter and rafale cost close to $100 million without said support. So I don't see any issue with them being selected on the basis of price. What could be a...

:) I am not privy to inernational politics but I hope India takes up any and all means necessary to take care of our energy security.

I can list the number of american OH-58's or UH-60's lost due to technical failures in the last 10 years. The number is more than 25. Two Dhruv crashes have been with the Sarang team. They take these machines to the very edge of their flight envelope and such accidents are but a matter of time...

Ignore the Kannada! :)

And what logic is that? Go and ask CPC to wage a war against India. Maybe that would help you sleep better since Indians here seem to think China is a non-entity!!! :disagree:

Add him to the list if you wish! I frankly don't care.

It is sad to see how people like Hafiz Saeed go on and spread so much hatred all around :disagree:! To add to that, so many people out here would just love to fight wars:rolleyes:. What will a war result in? How will killing innocents help? Will the terrorists die? Let us say that some...

I was wondering if jf-17 currently uses any targetting pod. I know that China has some pods (FILAT et al.). Shouldn't PAF be looking at these for jf-17 since these are being put in for CAS role? Also, why would the aircraft need the external tanks for CAS with most of the ops being close to...

All in good time! I hope DRDO unveils mk-II by 2012/13!
