India is not Pakistan- it doesn't need handouts or charity. She can/is developing her own tech at her own pace.this is obviously going to take a while. This is a long game.

+ any chance of more pics? They seem very limited this time- last ex their were dozens of pics swirling around of VBSS, SAR etc.

True. I hope to see major indigenous technologies in operation by 2015

Private participation in defence will boost R&D

GRSE is expected to complete its upgrade by 2013

I thought upgrade was suppose to be over in 2011....

While Kockums AB will porvide assistance , but these ships will mainly be based on P28 corvettes design but with added stealth and firepower

So Kockums AB is final ??/ When this decision was made ??/ I just hope P28A design is also changed because now we have everything for a great strealth warship but only thing that lacks is the design...the design of P28 is not stealthy enough....

Reminded me on this:

LCA-Navy Not What We Want, But It's Ours

"It may not be what we want, but it is our own aircraft," says the Indian Navy's Flag Officer Naval Aviation (FONA) Rear Admiral Sudhir Pillai on the LCA Navy in an interview to FORCE magazine. He was asked how effective the LCA Navy would be for a carrier-based role given that it "only an eight ton platform". The officer's response: "I wish wish we could straightaway develop a Rafale. But seriously, we have to look at the Indian Navy and it commitment towards indigenisation...

Livefist: "LCA-Navy Not What We Want, But It's Ours": FONA


So it's not only IAF that admires French fighters and IN got experience with Rafale Ms first hand during the exercise Varuna this year.

IN don't want to lease the helicopters, but there were a tender for up to 60 ASW helicopter, where the Sea Hawk and the naval S92 could be part of and with Sikorsky building parts of them now in India, they might have good chances.

Yes but what is the timeline? will they be inducted in time for Vikramditya? IAC 1? 2? 5?!! and surely 60 is not enough to replace ALL ASW Sea Kings in IN service? And what about the Sea Kings used for general transport and as a SOAR for MARCOs (those with "X" on side)? will they be replaced, or is this ASW specific?

+btw the leasing the vid mentions is for ICG

IN currently operates only 35 Sea King...I think this number will not increase more than 60...

Yes but what is the timeline? will they be inducted in time for Vikramditya? IAC 1? 2? 5?!!

Thats a nice question, i hope deal is signed in 2011. There is also a deal for some 60 LUH.....

But i heard the present sea king fleet is being modernized....

IN don't want to lease the helicopters

Nobody said IN is leasing, its saying ICG....
