As far as Brahmos VLS goes, IN has made it a requirement as per initial reports from 2009 and 2010 one of which i quoted. As far as Marlin goes, it is a development of the Scorpene to be in the league of S-80 as far as specs go. This is a well established fact (which came along with the news...

Quite true. I fail to see why so many people on this forum try to do these "you know what" measuring contests :disagree:! India has been rapidly growing in the past few years and this has resulted in massive investments in the Indian infrastructure sector leading to some good cities/ towns/...

I am not in disagreement. However what actually happened (IN calling for redesign or design houeses proposing new designs to preempt later issues) is up for debate with no clear answer for those outside the MOD/ IN top brass. I however am quite convinced that 216 represents a major development...

Hopefully by delivery version they mean multiple interceptor TEL's instead of the single interceptor TEL. something similar to the the proposed Nirbhay launcher maybe! instead of the current one:

I do not want to nitpick but for the record, largest road tunnel in SA is going to be the 9-km-long Chenani-Nashri tunnel in Udhampur district in Jammu and Kashmir (NH-1A bypass). Work started in Sep. 2011.

^^ I am not questioning the RFI mate. It has indeed been a long time since the first RFI. I am saying that the IN is probably "not interested" in the sub designs that came in as a result of the RFI. Yes they did evaluate the designs and they did not like them based on their own SQR's. That's...

Note the following was reported thorugh German military & defense magazine "Strategie und Technik" ( November 2011 issue): Typ 216 class 89, 00 meters long Speed: >20kn 8, 10 meters in diameter 3.000t Deplacement 2 Decks, 10 cabins with up to 6 bunks 80 days at sea Extra space for Special...

U 216 derives heavily from 212. There are no major redesign as far as the sub shape is concerned. The major modification is the addition of 2 new hull sections (forward and aft of the tower) and new thruster propellers for littoral operations. Ofcourse it is a new design and will require...

Sreedharan retired today! A great leader and visionary who transformed the face of Delhi! Let us hope we get a million more Sreedharans to support million more visions to take India to its true potential.

First there have been no evaluations (officially). That will happen only when the RFP's have been sent out and responses obtained followed by official evaluation. IN was not happy with any of the designs (as per initial evaluation of RFI responses as you mentioned). IN has clearly articulated a...

Being double hulled and a much larger submarine, I would expect that the maximum diving depth should be higher. However, the value has not been divulged and therefore I am not sure how much it would be. Since the product is still in design stage, I would expect that they may take in inputs from...

There had been reports from 2010 of IN officials in consultation with HDW guys on a larger type 214 with vertical missile bay as well as AIP and increased sea legs and endurance. It would seem that HDW has obliged with the new Type 216 design drawing from the 212/214 design. This design clearly...

Wheel slip normally is a very bad situation for any loco driver. Essentially he loses the contact between the rail and the wheels (a combination of train load, coefficient of friction and slope) and he either has to control the power judiciously (controlling traction using power manipulation) or...

Finally good news from reputable source clearing up much of the confusion on the "in-house" artillery development (155mm multi caliber) - Copyright Violation By the User, Action Taken Against the User -

4 ALH Dhruv's - amazing sunset shot!

Some more IR videos... 1) RORO freighter passing duronto at Canacona (goa). RORO is an interesting concept in use with the IR where fully laden trucks are driven directly on flatcars and can then be transported across India thereby saving valuable fuel as well as time (loading/ unloading). IR...

These are not of IAC. Most likely US nimitz class under construction from the looks of it. IAC 1 is delayed and it is quite clear from the article that the progress has been slow. It is also obvious that the move out of the dry dock was forced upon CSL due to other commitments as noted in the...

Three HQ IR and metro videos. IR being a critical component of India's infrastructure deserves our attention. ^^ video showing a WAG 9 hauling a 50+ BOXN rake carrying coal to one of the many Indian coal fired power plants with no captive mines. Most indian thermal power plants get their coal...
