You know Karthic , I don't like Rafale even a single bit . Not bcoz Jet is poor but Price and arrogance of France , what they did when IAF was asking for Mirage upgrade . Instead of compromising & accommodating a good customer they simply diluted their package and gave reduced price based...

yup , confirmed . It was cleared by DAC in india , under PM Singh . DSCA in USA has informed US Congress about possible sale . Deal will be signed anytime , possibly November when Obama comes for opening Obama platter :lol: :lol:.

Just saw it , i am overjoyed . And i can arrange one Champagne instead of water for next flight with Derby/r77 .

First - India asked for AIM 9X-2 version , and firing was shown with 9x2 only . Second - No US has never really allowed foreign armaments on their aircraft , or any Foreign aircraft to carry their missiles (except to Israel or NATO allies , Python5 etc on F16). Plus even if you are...

Hi , Seiko . Sorry for replying late - just saw your post . After Jha's update How was weekend ???? To your query , I posted every detail on weapon trials in some thread , can't find it now . Multiple thread opening on MRCA , its difficult to keep track . Vayu , AWST & Flight-International...

Nice , Let's hope next trial is on time . We should get ABM operational in 3 years time . We don't need AEGIS now If you find time read about CMS17 and CAIO (ATM network) onboard Shivalik - was a great link posted by Kinetic . Ask him + Read the latest post in Indian Navy section...

I had to change bcoz of this http://www.defence.pk/forums/india-defence/66025-army-warning.html I asked Asim to change and delete any info on my account T.C Bye

Was he doing Harrier stunt ???, ejecting when Jet is flying so low & going down . Lucky that jet was banked at an angle where pilot could eject away . Sharp low & high passes + extreme AoA , and we have these Russian knights like everywhere .

Oh God , Embarrassing for me and disappointment for Army . I was sure that this time Guns will be finally ordered . This pretty much rules out Singapore IFH2000 and RHIENMETAL-DENAL 155mm for next RFI . Soltem , Slovak and Russian along with BAE would most probably fight it out . Another 2...

Dash Ji , you know about that ......................... It was for Journos who get confused by type and caliber . ULH , Towed are on track - no further delay Its the wheeled+Tracked that is being asked now ,

I am up for anything . For me all are good . I can only fantasize to see Rafale or Eurofighter in service . But I doubt it will ever happen .

Jha Ji , First post also says The Indian Army today sent out a fresh Request for Information (RFI) to global gun makers for self-propelled 155m/52cal guns (notice the blundering use of "towed" in the document). Besides 145 ultra-light , there is search going on in darkness with...

I doubt that's the case . Tender such as this large is very transparent and if Tandem seat was one prime req , they are not foolish to not offer Ka-50-2 . Air-force saw tandem seat version earlier as well .

Looks like US influence had another prey . A done for Rafale now looks like ...........F18 Poder Aéreo - Part 3 5th news on that page ........

All this is speculation , IAF needs 40-42 fighters . Journos start speculating Mig35/Su35 . And to add masala Dassault offered 40 Rafale .

Gripen NG i heard....................... And it came ahead in evaluations by Air-force based on cost-effectiveness . Business community also pushed for Gripen NG in Brazil . But deciding factor when the winner is announced will be Political backing that Rafale got from Lula ,Jobim ,Sarkozy ...

Something to look out what others are offering in Engine thrust .

^^^^^ Every paise worth at 300mill a piece including - Training + Spares + Simulators . Imagine moving troops from Punjab to Kashmir in conflict by roads . Everyone keeping watch can make out Now we have C17 - Movement in hours whole battalion moved to any terrain . Il76 can't do that .

No , it was in 90's A50 AWACS ( Russian radar only ) , + S300 were offered . A50 was rejected in technical brief & S300 after trials . Good step it was ........ Now we have ABM+AKASH , and Phalcon+DRDO-AEW . Cheers

Jha Ji It was in India-Strategic magazine this week . ..:: India Strategic ::.. Indian Air Force: IAF issues RFI for C 27J Spartan
