I think our defence system outdated bit....or may more.. when we consider futuristic weapons like this, our carriers or CBG sitting duck... our services doesn't have futuristic vision ... check it..



 
Is there any news regarding the stall problems of IJT?? Are they being rectified?
They are working on it, unoffcially I have heard recent spin and stall tests were a success but let's wait for offical confirmation...

The modified aircraft is expected to complete the spin tests in September 2015 and the production of 85 aircraft for the Indian Air Force to begin.[16] The initial spin trials were a success. [17]
 
IDN TAKE: DAC CLEARS PRODUCTION OF DHANUSH ARTILLERY GUN

The defence ministry paved the way on Saturday for purchase of 145 M777 Ultra Lightweight Howitzer artillery guns, worth about $750 million from BAE Systems.
Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), the highest decision making body of the defense ministry also cleared the bulk production of 18 Dhanush artillery guns to enable better exploitation and setting up of indigenous production. Ordnance Factory Board (OFB), Kolkata is making brisk progress in the manufacture of the indigenous guns.
While three guns would be delivered for user trials by the end of June, three more will be handed over by September end

The gun, a towed howitzer with a strike range of 38-km, has been developed by OFB, Kolkata, after going through the design and voluminous documents running into more than 12,000 pages which were delivered to India under the first phase of Transfer of Technology as part of the Bofors gun deal in late 80s. The Bofors played a battle-winning role in the Kargil War. The Infantry had adopted Bofors as their section weapon. It was an Artillery battle. The credit for victory goes to the Bofors Artillery. Shooting was so accurate that the infantry would at times call for artillery fire up to 40m, when normal safety distances were much higher. Direct shooting, by the Bofors, spelt terror amongst the attackers and had a devastating effect in the destruction of enemy bunkers. Therefore, Dhanush's pedigree is unquestionable.
Costing about Rs 14 crore a piece, Dhanush is comparable to most current generation weapons systems which are in use by different countries. Along with electronic gun-laying and sighting systems and other features, the indigenous gun has an enhanced 11-km range as against the gun range of 27-km of the imported Bofors gun.
The guns which will be deployed in high altitude areas in Arunachal Pradesh and Ladakh, bordering China
