    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions

    RBE-2 AESA V/S CAPTOR-E? Does the RBE-2 AESA have only 1001 T/R Modules due to the small size of the cone of the Rafale?Is this true?Also how would the RBE-2 AESA and Captor-E compare?

    Pakistan vs India: WC Semifinal - March 30

    Yeah, even the NSG uses hip holsters for their Glock 17's and 19's. :/ Why aren't they wearing vests with ceramic inserts?That looks only like a soft armour vest.MP5A5's would've been better I can only imagine the MP9 being used VIP close protection personnel but that's just my opinion.

    Beretta wins a huge contract to supply Mx4 carbines to India.

    The sterlings are produced here so we have a steady supply of them.If they are replacing MP5's with these Berettas in my opinion they are making a mistake.When most of our armed forces and paramilitary forces are armed with Carbine 1A1's and MP5's with some select units in BSF and other...

    Ordnance Factory Trichy to bring out rifle ''as good as AK-47''

    SG 551 is on a league of it's own.SG 551 is based on AK milled receiver.This new rifle is based on the FAL.As of now I can only speculate from the photos it's based on the FAL.Also the SG551 is of more higher quality and generally more ergonomic.

    Indian Army News & Discussions

    What use are the Strykers when other options like GTK Boxer, Patria AMV, BAE SEP and BTR-90A can be bought. I wonder why IA never goes for dedicated wheeled or tracked APC's in large numbers.They only want IFV's like BMP-2.Doesn't anyone else think that we should have both Wheeled or Tracked...

    Il-76MD-90A which the Russians were bidding in the competition is only advanced aircraft in that payload category.I do agree with you on higher numbers of transport aircraft and comparatively smaller payload.I really hope more than 45 MTA's are acquired in the near future and if possible even...

    How will the Tejas Mk.II Compare with the Korean F-50? Both are of more or less same weight and are generally designed to fullfill the same role.Although Tejas Mk.II has a more powerful engine.We might see a different more powerful power plant in F-50. F-50
