What I had meant is not only for andamans... Brahmos as MMCB can be used in Gujarat coast too... Also amphibious at A&N is a possibility in indo china war if it occurs.. (And it's a abig if).. U can't just rely on P8I ..it's a good platform from Anti ship role but it's needed more for ASW...

Indian navy operates MMCB.. I.e. mobile missile coastal battery... Which is an anti ship missile .. Of which I think presently P21 is used .. Brahmos has the capability to replace that missile in this role... This gives navy flexibility to deploy them... They are usually self sufficient expect...

Each regiment will have 4 systems/battery.. One battery can protect an area of 500 km+ frontage... That means .. NE..1 regt J&K and upper half punjab..1 regt Rajasthan and Gujarat and upper half Punjab.. 2 regt.. Fifth regt will have 4 system ..all for four metroes.. India already have 2-3 S300...

Rofl...one more here to vboy his knowledge.. Mate go and read first ... Flyaway cost of rafale is 85 M and F18 SH is 65M and F18 ASH will reach 80M( only prototypes).. And LCC of F18 SH is slightly more than rafale... So overall F18 SH will cost approx equal to rafale.. And rafale is a better...

Yes mate ... I said it..... As u calculate the price of rafale by dividing 8.8 billion dollars/36 or as in Qatar order 7.2 billion dollars/24... I calculated by flyaway cost... Search for flyaway cost of rafale and it will come about 85 M dollar each so with 90 planes means ...7.65 billion...

The cost of rafale (flyaway) is about 83M dollar.. So cost of next 90 Planes will be 7.5 billion dollars... One base can accommodate upto 3 sqn... So expect one more base for rafale minimum..and that will cost 1.2 billion dollars.. Weapons package will be extra depending on requirement but bare...

The deal had 50% offset... So expect about 4.4 billion dollar investment back into India.... And finally a saga ended.. And if timelines are true..18 months... First rafale will be flying in IAF in early 2018... This means dassult was confident of Indian order .... Or else it would have taken...

So how do we know that they are better than American and Russian system... We all know that most of Chinese platforms are Russian copy paste or influenced... With Chinese input... A copy is always inferior to original product.. That is why most of analyst consider Chinese system inferior to...

What I quoted above is "if and if" an American jet is flying in IAF... It will be only one, wither f16 or F18.. In my book also, it will be very unlikely... But yet we can never be so sure... In my view ... It will su30/ rafale/LCA only... Su30 350, Rafale 200 LCA 200 FGFA/PAKFA 60.... This...

It will be only one US planes... That too max 160 odd.. For IAF.. 816 planes will make only 45 sqn (18 planes each sqn).. That is bare minimum IAF will have in one sqn.. Also... The number will differ if it's involving MII Su 30.. 312... May go upto 340 Tejas.. 120.... Will go close to 200 (if...

Mate, it's may be because that there is no hard data available on Chinese system for evaluation with American or russian systems. There is always so much secrecy about Chinese weapon programmes that no one outside Chinese military can validate that. Also, there is usually no public reports of...

I have read it... And I feel most of it is fiction... See it's a light stealth aircraft.. He says so many things present in it which seems impossible in a LIGHT stealth aircraft 1. One Internal central bay and two side bays holding six missiles... And then eight external hard points and two...

Yea my reference say 3 billion/3 ships in 2013... At that time the deal must have included the complete package... As propulsion was not the issue.. As per your refernce, In Dec 2015, it said upwards of 3 billion /4 ships.... That means minimum of 750 million and upper limit we don't know. Also...

Tht is what I am saying .... If it's quoted 750M presently in the last article and in 2013 it's quoted as 3 billion for 3 frigates... What stops Russia from quoting the same rate now... It was 1.6 billion dollars for 3 frigates in 2006... It's 10 yrs now.. More so if a pvt sector say reliance is...

Again the same thing.... I don't know why you all people think that we will buy planes and ships without weapons... And why do you think it's not official figures?.. It will be closer to 800M to 1 billion each.. Last batch costed us 535M dollar each in 2009 .... The new deal will be signed in...

India to spend $3 billion for 3 more Talwar-class frigates | Russia & India Report India will pay more than 1 billion dollars each for new order of these frigates.. You can bookmark this post for future reference.. India paid 1.6 billion dollar for second batch of talwar class in 2009 or so...

I am not talking about talwars....but about the new one... See paying more than 1 billion each for these new frigates makes no sense when u can P 17A for less than that and more capable and long range SAM... Shitil-1 is about 50 km range while new barak 8 has arange of 70-90 km and can be...

The problem will be fitment of Indian specific systems... Adn the cost increase associated with it... If India buys it..., IN may like to put barak 8 and Brahmos along with radar. And sonar as earlier mentioned... The problem is this will increase the cost too much... Paying say 1 billion dollar...

Kamotra class will be fitted with a Either a PDMS or barak 8... If fitted with barak 8.. It's will be having secondary AD capability and primary ASW capability.... IN..historically categorise it's ships on basis of weapon load... Like... Delhi class is about 6200 tons... But carry 16 ASM and 32...

Nice break up man... Just one observation... IAF don't have sqn of 16 aircrafts..so sqn number is misleading... IAF will make sqn of either 18 or 20 aircrafts.. So 820 planes will make about... 41 sqn min to 45.5 max... So we can safely assume IAF will have their required strength if they get...
