    India to spend $3 billion for 3 more Talwar-class frigates

    Friends! I love when i hear news like this where price is a little too much! 1B USD is way too much. IF the price was quoted in INR I would have accepted that cos USD has not appreciated since then therefore steep appreciation in price in USD terms looks fishy. So i did some research and came...

    India-France Rafale Deal Stalled

    Everyone, I have been curious to figure out why Indian Govt. is hell bent on making Dassault accountable for 108 air-crafts to be manufactured by HAL. It makes little business sense since Dassault doesn't control HAL and will have limited say in the processes and manufacturing schedules of...

    India and Russia going to sign biggest-ever defence deal worth $ 35 billion

    Well in my opinion one should understand that two countries with vastly different economic strengths must not compete as it unnecessarily creates economic strain. Asking PAkistan to counter India's acquisition plans does not make economic sense. Its like saying that India must prepare to...

    India's next generation SSBN S-5 illustration released by (NPOL) DRDO

    Yes and No! Depends on the technology. typically the older class subs that needed to resurface to open their launch tubes needed to be almost stationary. The newer generation subs have a limit on speeds before firing while submerged. I think i read somewhere its like 7 knots

    Edged-out Eurofighter still hopes to bag IAF fighter deal

    Folks kindly stop bickering over the rationality of Rafale decision. On the brighter side understand that Rafale is an excellent bird. Even if its not the very best (and that's a big pressumption), it will fulfill the IAF requirements of a 4+ gen fighter with numerous technological transfers...

    AMCA :: Fifth Generation Fighter Under Development in India

    It's in my opinion AMCA will fly for the first time around 2018-2021 time frame. (Remember Tejas flew for the first time pretty early. Having said that, 2040 timeframe is too pessimistic because of the the following 1) We will definitely see either the french or the Israelis joining the project...

    Edged-out Eurofighter still hopes to bag IAF fighter deal

    Its ironical that Britain and French fought couple of centuries ago to decide who will rule India. Today they are still fighting, only to decide who can grab some business with India...Somethings never change! :) lol!
