You can't discuss with a indian locally manufuctured about how 100% INDIGENOUS INDIAN their stuff is.

I hope people remember this post next time ranting on JF17........


I have no problem with external input and calling it indigenous. I have problem with the double standards of Indians when It comes to JF17 its Pakistan buyer and China seller (as our 36 top class engineers were there to eat noodles).. When Dhruv or Bhramos its totally indegenous.

i really envy you ''your top class engineers'' only 36 of them were required to make jf17.

The indian contention has been totally busted, the druv has little or no indian input, except probably the beautiful indigenous paint job.:)

There used to be more Indian in Su30mki than Pakistani in fc1. However I haven't followed fc-1 development lately.

You should do the same for JF-17 AND AL Khalid. I bet there more Indian in Dhruv then Pakistani in both.

Don't talk like a kid man. In todays world nobody builds something 100% but still its called indigenous. Have you heard Swedish people saying gripen is not indigenous. No, instead they will tell its 100% indigenous.
I think you have no knowledge about these things. Its better Pakistan should concentrate on building nuclear weapons, rest they should leave to Indians and Chinese.

brother,
please understand that the foreign components/help in making a product does not prevent it from being indigenous. its for the innovation,and the effort that scores.
and,
if you are so particular that alh dhruv is not an indian product,
neither is your jf-17,al-khalid.
the jf-17's looks and perfomances matches the looks and projected perfomance of IAR 95 ,an cancelled romanian project of 1980's.
Supersonic Projects

Tarmak007 -- A bold blog on Indian defence: Dhruv simulator has arrived from CAE: HATSOFF

The Helicopter Academy to Train by Simulation of Flying (HATSOFF), the joint venture owned equally by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and CAE, today announced that its simulator cockpit for the civil/conventional variant of the Dhruv has arrived at the HATSOFF training centre in Bangalore following design and manufacture at CAE’s facility in Montreal, Canada.
The Dhruv simulator cockpit will now be installed and integrated with the CAE-built full-mission simulator currently in operation at HATSOFF. The simulator features CAE's revolutionary roll-on/roll-off cockpit design, which enables cockpits representing various helicopter types to be used in the simulator. The cockpit for the civil/conventional variant of the Dhruv is the second for the HATSOFF training centre, and will be ready-for-training in May 2011. The first cockpit for the simulator represents the Bell 412 helicopter. Training for Bell 412 operators commenced in July 2010.
“This is the world’s first simulator representing the indigenously developed HAL Dhruv helicopter and we are excited to begin offering simulation-based training that will undoubtedly prove to be a safe and cost-effective method for training Dhruv helicopter aircrews,” said Wg Cdr (Retd) Chandta Datt Upadhyay Vr.C., Chief Executive Officer of HATSOFF.
The CAE-built full-mission helicopter simulator at HATSOFF and the Bell 412 cockpit was certified during 2010 to Level D, the highest qualification for flight simulators, by India’s Directorate General Civil Aviation (DGCA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). HATSOFF expects the cockpit for the civil/conventional variant of the Dhruv to be certified to Level D by the DGCA this spring. Additional cockpits for the Indian Army/Air Force variant of the HAL-built Dhruv and the Eurocopter Dauphin will be added to the HATSOFF training centre over the next year.
The HATSOFF training centre, located near HAL’s headquarters in Bangalore, also features multimedia classrooms, computer-based training, brief/debrief facilities, and a training management information system. The full-mission simulator features a common motion system, vibration platform, and visual display system, along with the four separate cockpit modules that can be used in the full-mission simulator. When a cockpit is not used in the full-mission simulator, it will be used as a fixed-based flight training device (FTD).
