Are there any pics available? Would love to see them! Are these A2A or A2G? Is this the one? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-4_MUPSOW

AFA engine goes, I am pretty sure it would be koraput. When it comes to Russians or even Israelis to a large extent, they prefer working with the defence PSU's. Moreover, Koraput should be able to handle the assembly.

That's why i mentioned that the decisions should be open to scrutiny and the element of "check" should be during the evaluation. Else, the whole process becomes a waste of time as we saw with MRTT. Correct me if I am wrong but was KC-767 an option with the last RFI/RFP? IMO it makes more...

It was an evaluation to fine tune the operational doctrine of arjun MBT's in IA. It is slated for sometime in march/april. The results will not have any bearing on Arjun's place in IA. IA in a written report to the difince ministry has stated that it is more than satisfied with the Arjun. It...

Please this thread is about arjun orders..... not indian or chinese defence industry! I would urge everyone to STAY ON TOPIC!

I am not lecturing anyone! I am saying that the AMERICANS think they are pure souls and that they are paying enough to Pakistan :disagree: Have I said that I hold the same position? :disagree: Nuclear reactors will make you dependent on the west for nuclear fuel. Even china cannot sell you...

Rafael's push includes the following systems for armoured vehicles: Samson RCWS Family – Remote controlled weapon stations ASPRO-P – Passive add-on armor http://www.rafael.co.il/marketing/SIP_STORAGE/FILES/6/976.pdf ASPRO-H – Hybrid add-on armor...

Vixen???? Are you talking about captor? No I haven't heard of any offers from any of the sources you mentioned. The fact is those same countries are still not ready with an AESA on their own birds. And you are trying to tell me the road ahead for JF-17 is crystal clear? My contention was that...

Please ignore Trolls! They are a disgrace to this forum. :sick: Coming back to the arjun, though the army seems to have ordered 124 more, I am now looking forward to mk-II. Apart from indegenous systems, DRDO has shown interest in Rafael's APS for use on Arjun. Other option includes the iron...

I beg to disagree. Unlike pakistan, India has AESA sources from which we can obtain the said systems if we want to. However, it has been decided that we would call for only the AESA modules and processing units and integrate the radar in India. RFI has already been sent out for the same. so...

with all due respect, I fail to understand how you would misinterpret my post!! I am talking about escaping PN task force! Let there be all types of signatures! The ability of a submarine to escape from the battle is vital. With a high speed escape, a nuclear submarine can sustain high speeds...

Leaving the "la-la land" :disagree: and getting back to the topic at hand, we should understand that India had a need for large number of nuclear power plants. Now this "need" can be argued at length but that was the tag line of govt. of India. India has used this card in many other associated...

AFA facility goes, all engines are made at HAL Koraput. Welcome to Engine Division, Koraput of HAL So if the engines are produced here, they will be at koraput. I agree with you that cost savings are important. What I meant was cost should not be a factor when the decisions are made by...

"tried"? I fail to understand this negative undercurrent which is considered normal out here. Being a pakistani, I understand that the norm is to ridicule anything Indian. I am sure similar sentiments are also the norm among most indians here. However, take a step back and think what Indian's...

Is this a threat? As the title says... "Dealing with Chinese Aggression"! I have never really believed that China was a threat but looking at the comments by so many chinese in this forum, it would seem that we need to be prepared. Statements like the one quoted make me really think we are...

To be honest with you, given the size of IAF and the increasing number of aircrafts with the IN, I feel atleast 12-18 A330 type systems are needed in the medium term with an increase to 24+ as we reach 42-45 (+ 2-5 from IN) squadron strength! Il-78's will continue to serve IAF with no conversion...

I don't see Il 476 flying around unlike the C-17! Also, it would seem that IAF has fallen in love with the beast thanks to its STOL capability. I was amazed to see the same last year... it is breathtaking indeed :agree:! To be honest, I feel we should leave the decisions on the armed forces...

Don't worry! Mistakes are a part of life. It is in the spirit of healthy debate that people may correct certain specifics pointed out. It does not mean that your effort is any less credible! It is the intent that counts! Also, come up with arguments to the contrary if you feel you are right...

well afaik, there is no 737 based tanker out there. KC767 on the other hand is a reality!

Thanks for the pic. MTA sure looks like a good design. Let us hope we see the first flight soon. I am expecting the same by 2012-13.
