Nah...you are wrong.. It's like this... Barak 8 had range of 70km.. But during development change of fuel composition increased its range to 90 km.. That is 25-30% increase Barak8 with booster is actually barak8 ER..which is supposed to have range of 150 km max.... It is having a length of 6m...

Yea it's because of space constraint only... I said it like this... See till now we don't have a UVLS in which we can fit anything like Brahmos/nirbhay/barak8 ..neither we have capability to have quad pack SRSAM to increase number... So maitri can be Installed 16+16 on a place where we have two...

32 Brahmos is too much a number as usually a salvo of two (max three) of Brahmos with give u a sureshot hit on a vessel even a advance AD system. It will utilise it SAM cover even before that.. I think it will be 16 Brahmos +16. LACM( nirbhay).. Plus 60 barak 8/barak8ER... Ideal Sam cover for a...

F15 is like su30... Air superiority.. F18 is like medium multirole.. A bit more apt for ground attk... India don't need F15 as we already have Su30..

Bit sir... Till now LCA never had a single crash in its trial..and gripen had quite a few .. And... Can u plz give in writing with 100% guarantee that buying gripen will not harm Indian pilots... Yea but sure it will harm Indian aerospace industry. Sometimes, u support your own industry u may...

Sir, I have never said Gripen is direct competitor for LCA ..in "export market".. What I meant is that it's direct competitor with LCA in IAF procurement plan.... IAF needs minimum 15 light aircraft sqn... That is about 270 odd planes.. 6 sqn is already on order.. And there is still requirement...

I am 100% in agreement with you..that is its gonna be rafale and LCA... But say 5% chance that there may be a third line after LCA and Rafale.... If it's a possibility even by a remote chance ...then what do you think who has max chance for about 140-160 planes.. Out of...

It's gonna be LCA, rafale and Su30 for IAF...whatever anyone says or read between lines... Reasons.... 1. Gripen...direct competitor to LCA and no added benefit.. 2. F16.... Same as above and u can't trust LM for TOT, they even ditched Koreans... 3. F18.... IN don't want it...period... Any new...

And pray plz tell me how much u spend of defense... More than 3%....about 7-8 billion dollars... I think... Also we can spend so much because we have so much money... How much do u have mate.....

Plz any open source for this details of LSA .. I want to read about it..

It is possible to have 39.5 sqn ( present authorised) by 2025.. And then to reach 42 sqn by 2030. The plan is to increase to 45 sqn as of now.. Which also can be achieved by 2030-33. But how...it's as follows.. By 2024, IAF will have Su 30... 15-16 sqn...312 planes.. MIG 29... 3 sqn mirage...

The only glaring weakness IN has as of now is of helos only whether it's LUH, MRH, ASW or ASM role or AEW... IN need lots of them for all its platforms... All Delhi, Kolkata, Vizag, Brahmaputra can carry two of them... And they don't even have one dedicated as of now.. Sometime they only carry a...

It's LSP-3...

What we need actually is Mk41 like VLS system... 24 cells of them can be fitted on kamotra class and it can carry 8 ASM, 8 Barak8 and 32 barak 1/MICA-VL @PARIKRAMA @Abingdonboy .... Kamotra is a ASW corvette platform, and it's tonnage increased to improve endurance and ocean going capabilities...

Well... That is a hell of a good news of rafale and me perse. What I feel is that MIG29 order will be maxed at 1 sqn (20 planes) or at Max 24 planes. That will give IN 65 MIG 29... Enuf to create 04 sqn(12 planes) to man both carriers.. And rest of airwing will be made by NLCA ( 8 each...

I think mate....Growler version of F18 is not for export.... Plz check.. To get Growler if offered and cleared by US congress... India has to sign too many agreements. I think it's best to avoid Growler and without Growler, F18 SH is an average plane... Su35 is cheaper and more capable. If we...

Yea... I remember. And if it happens its one of the best decision to be taken by Modi govt this year

See, the problem is tedious DPP which takes so many things and about a year even if u have to buy something worth 50 lakhs leave about spending 50,000 crore.... DPP has to become more streamlined.. Hopefully it will as DM is trying its level best. And I think DPP for capex/G2G deals should...

Yes.... That is the beauty of it... That most of the people in India look at this figure with the outlook u have said... But it not so rosy.. The actual CTC for any defence officer is 1.5 times of its gross salary... So what is you have shown, the actual benefit goes upto 1.5 times( medical...

about pilot availability... It's a major weakness in IAF and its not a temporaray thing as @randomradio has said... See overall shortage of officers are present in All three services (max in army).. And as Parik said it take five years to make a pilot in peace time... Also, we may be phasing...
