    India to Induct 4th Regiment of BrahMos Cruise Missiles in 2 Weeks

    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...

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions [Thread 2]

    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...

    'U.S keen to build fighter jets in India'

    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...

    'U.S keen to build fighter jets in India'

    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...

    'U.S keen to build fighter jets in India'

    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...

    Russia may sell three Project 11356 frigates to India

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...

    Russia may sell three Project 11356 frigates to India

    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...

    Russia may sell three Project 11356 frigates to India

    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...

    Russia may sell three Project 11356 frigates to India

    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...

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions [Thread 2]

    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...
