NEW DELHI: India is gradually building powerful military capabilities in tune with its expanding geopolitical interests, which are no longer limited to the swathe stretching from the Persian Gulf to Malacca Strait, even as the eastern and western fronts are being strengthened to deter the twin...

Chinese Airforce Combat Fleet Cont... JH-7 -> 19 aircraft Q-5 -> 500 aircraft I am not trying to compare Chines's airforce with our's. However, we should only be concerned for J-10 and J-11 which they have in service. Others would be phased out soon. :sniper:

Chinese Airforce Combat Fleet H-5 -> 250 aircraft H-6 -> 120 aircraft J-6 -> 4 aircraft J-7 -> 390 aircraft J-8 -> 96 aircraft J-10 -> 200 aircraft J-11 -> 273 aircraft

Thank You Everyone. This actually shows how deep these guys went to create this report. We can verify with out country details and it matches. It shows what Chinese/Pakistani's have. I was really surprised that Pakistan have only 36 F-16's, I was unaware about these facts. An eye opener...

Correct. That is exactly what we don't want to show. We are a peaceful country and we don't discriminate or judge any country depending on its size. Mate, Why do you post all negative comments? Welcome. Congratulations for your first post. Your thought's are heard. However, you missed one...

Why would we do that? SriLanka is a country and it has all rights to take its own decision. If there was a proposal and they rejected it means they don't want it. Don't we reject various US request. How would you feel if US does some arm-twisting with us? Its a defence forum that doesn't mean...

Some times I feel these countries are conduct joint exercises just to show what they have and to sell it to us. :sniper:

I have never seen this kind of report before. Please open and read the pdf in the link. Apologies not sure how to add the PDF content here. It has report about Worldwide active fleet by region - This section show number of fighter aircraft/helicopter Worldwide top 10 active...

I couldn't agree more with you. However, its time to show what we can do if we are forced to do. Moreover in order to test our developed technology we have to use them otherwise how can we be sure that it will work when needed. Any Thoughts!!! I think they are the only one who delivers...

India will soon have an operational group that will train pilots in advanced warfare tactics, something that only Tactics and Air Combat Development Establishment (TACDE) has been doing till date. The group, to be led by an Air Vice Marshal, will act as the feeding establishment to various...

The IAF’s Institute of Aerospace Medicine (IAM), which would be entrusted with the crucial role of screening and selecting the astronauts for the country’s maiden human space flight mission, has already initiated the ground work by developing state-of-the-art laboratories. The Bangalore-based...

I am not sure mate if you are aware about HAL/Turbomeca Shakti engine. More info below HAL/Turbomeca Shakti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Google for more info :cheers: I would agree with you in case if Rolls Royce was giving complete TOT. No point to have another option if you don't...

I have no idea why can't they sort out the licensing issue among themselves. Why do we still have to really on and export material when we have one. I think its time MOD beat there a**. This is absolutely not acceptable. When we didn't had the technology we all were crying and now we have and...

In the first week of this month, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) opened technical bids from two engine houses, the starting point of a process to select a turboshaft engine for its in-development Light Utility Helicopter (LUH). The two contenders are Turbomeca offering the Ardiden 1H1/Shakti --...

Lockheed's stealth C-130 successor revealed Forty years ago, the US Air Force tried to replace the Lockheed Martin C-130 with a super short take-off and landing (STOL) airlifter, with the Boeing YC-14 and McDonnell YC-15 as the candidates. Then, things got weird. Budgets grew, funding shrank...

ha guys, don't say that. It really happened and I was there when all this happened. Please don't say everything there media says is wrong or a gimmick from there government. The wreckage is actually of an F-22. I later found out that because of F-22 stealthiness it was not detected by there...

Yes, Indian success rate is 70%. However, do you know your country success rate? hmm..let me think your own government doesn't tell you the facts. You have absolutely no right to comment on others. Go copy from somewhere. Even Better, get some statement and post it here and do not forget to...

I feel really sorry about this project(RLV/Avatar), though I am happy that we are working in this area. The deadline for the working model was 2010 and it was being developed by a company in Hyderabad. However, I find that the date is now postponed to something in future. This is one of a kind...
