Regarding getting over with russia is stupidist thing one can ever made, even if delay that have taken place it doesn't mean we should pulled over from it because IN have already drawn its doctrine that it will have to implement in near future once it get gorshkov commissioned into it and upon...
The theory of indigenous production is that it not only make country self relient but also it helps to save its precious foriegn exchange and that is exactly what happening with India and on top of that they have also introduces the offset clause. On the face of it, having a self reliant means...
In my opinion, selection of MRCA depends upon who is gona provide a favouriable term in terms of complete TOT and offset policy. On the top of that Russian may have assumes that there Mig-35 would never gona shortlisted for MRCA and hence they are now fuming there anger in form of cancellation...
Read properly my previous post to which radar I had quoted 300 km range.
But still there is some difference between PESA and AESA.
To familirise ourseleves with this new technology, to learn from it while designing something like on our own, otherwise we didn't included it in RFP.
So...
What makes you think that? infact Boeing is setting up its outsourcing plants in india itself which would provide job for perseptive Indian students rather then going aboard.
Yes, it is widespread reality like everyother country takes helps from all other country, no country is purly...
Recently china was insiting India for breeding the tiger population in order to arrest depleting population of tiger, but key motive behind such offering was to meet ever increasing demands of tiger skin and carcasses in tibet and china. Envirnomentalist protest this move vigourously, since then...
To become a superpower, one need to stood on its own feet and achieve a self reliance in everything. Just look at the china, inspite of having inferior fighter planes according to the western standard, they have still on the path achieving a complete indigeous system which is quite reflective...
Not much!, have you know about AESA of F-16 is APG-80 which is next only to APG-81 configured in F-35.... regarding Block 52's APG-68 it has range of slightly less then 300 km, APG-80 equipped F-16 will be act just like AWACS which would even bring down our anymore need of surplus awacs...
In addition to what Eragon has stated, I also would like to add that now Indian Army has increasingly focusing its attention towards North-East region bordering china. Most of the region is still underdeveloped and reeling under poor infrastrure, it is comprise of dense forest and high...
Having clones of tigers would not going to solve the ground reality. The problem is that preserving the ecological balance of our natural environment and forest. There is a big difference between having artificial breeded tigers and those tigers which are natural breeding in jungles. To maintain...
If you read my previous posts correctly, then you would definetly feel that I never advocated US F-16IN, rather I weighted about LCA productions.
True, but on those occassion our aviation industry wasn't flourshing with sucess like now. And on the top of that those fighter planes provided by...
Well mate, we have homegrown 105 mm field gun, as well as in the development we have Bhim which is Towaed Artillary on Arjun Chasis.
Still we have huge C3I network develop by DRDO which connect all artillary on the battlefield for better coordination as well as it has master in the production...
By looking at the depleting squadran strenghts of IAF, it is true but unless and until we dont have deep TOT then I don't think they are going to serve the our purpose. Regarding PAKFA, by looking at the US experience in building F-22, I don't think it would be a cake walk for us and russian to...
Ok so I get my words back regarding supercruising, but PAF F-16 block 52 and F-16IN is like comparing apple with orange, apart from sensors, it has only new engine and AESA, what about that! without AESA PAF pilot will get deprived of getting a first shot which IAF's pilots will be possessing on...
Offcourse, it will but the thing is that when we can pure in $1 Billion for just 6 C-130 Hercules just on the pretext of better lifting capability rather then opting from IL-76 with greater speed and better defensive capability at much low cost and in huge number, then I don't think we would...
Su-47, DRDO has already produced the Indian Field Gun, a 105 mm field gun was developed for the Indian Army and is in production at the Ordnance Factory Board which has a range of 17 km and another thing is that it is light and it can also be hellilifted. Just problem is that there is not a...
True, but remember GOI has specifally introduce 30% of offset system to arrest the discrepencies of spare parts, since spare parts problem will get nullified with outsourcing of spares from homgrown sources and F-16IN is not an ordinary system it is the aircraft which surpass all the capability...
There are several such issue being hunting to every country in the world with each other like India-china, China-Russia, US-Russia especially with border issues or some with super power status, still they have a some sort of bondage among them and they are pursuing there relationship with each...
Sixth Biggest nation in the world in terms of what?
Every country have their own advantage in geographical location in their own backyard. But as far as pakistan is concerned, advantage is their in terms of US war on terror.
Absolutely wrong, India has time and again proved that they...
