Many many thanks Sancho.

I was thinking about posting SMX-22 and SMX-23. They might be offered for second line submarine.

No problem! They are concepts only so I doubt that they are already on offer and we need an operational version for fast induction now. But that's why I meant to use the competition as a chance to co-developments later, it should be clear that our ship/sub builders, as good they are, would never be able to come up with such a modern/futuristic design and that's why partnerships will be a big advantage


But don't you think EF-18G will be better than Su-34 for EW??? Its true that Su-34 has lots of similarities with MKI.

The Growler will have the better jammers, at least compared to the Russian versions for sure, but I have big doubts that we will get them and the Growler lite that was offered from Boeing will come without the ALQ 99 jamming pod.
The Su 34 is a varient of the Flanker family, it has the same weapons, same wings and even tail fins should be similar, canards could be similar too, not sure about the size though. The new S117 engines are offered for Su 30 as well as Su 34 and the Su 34 has a PESA radar too, just the form is different. I even think that the Su 34 fuselage including air intakes and gear housing are the base for the Pak Fa prototype, because they are the only Flanker AFAIK that retracts the gear vertically.
 
I would like to see IRON MAN kind of system in all three services and the ucav in the movie stealth.
 
In addition i wanted to point out one more thing, u see if we go through our epics we can see warriors who can fire missiles (astras) like bramhastra or vayvastra or suryastra etc etc . I we could bring back that kind of knowledge it would be the ultimate achievement of technology futuristic or should i say of the bygone era!!!

I'm going to keep it simple and realistic.Timeframe 10 yrs from now.
More tavor for elite units,cornershot for urban assault and counter terrorist squads.
More anti material rifles to support squads.These combined with javelin ATGM.
A standardized modern LMG.

More NAG vehicle mounted ATGM.
Helina and spyke for gunships.

Upgrading all t-90 s to to t-90m.Add a active protection system.
Arjun mk2/FMBT.
Tank corps should be arjun1,2 and t-90 m.

Total standardization of artillery on 155mm barrell.Move to a 155mm gun to be mass produced indigenously.
Bhim self propelled howitzer or PZhaubitze 2000.[real fantasy piece]
More light mountain artillery on the N-E front for better defensive posture there.

More and stealthier upgunned versions of LAH.About 300.[current order 190 odd]
A modern medium transport aircraft to replace antonov-32 s in service.Joint venture with russia.Plus the c-130 herc for backup.

Air force -

15 squadrons of su-30 super mki upgraded.
10 squadrons of rafale.[will probably be 7sq]
10 squadrons of lca mk-2.[will probably be 7 sq]
5 squadrons of mig-29smt.
5squadrons of mirage-2000upg.
5 squadrons of jaguar upg.

6 phalcon awaacs and 10 other less effective awacs.

With jaguar and mirage being ready to be replaced by AMCA.Entering production.
And mig-29s and earlier sukhoi and lca with FGFA.

Taking 7sq[sq strength by 2021 be 44 that is full strength]

Retrofit all surface ships with brahmos and barak ng.The ship programmes are coming in with kolkata classes and shivalik classes deployed.3 carriers deployed.

Main worry is sub capability.
Aim should be 4 ssbns.[each with 16 agni 5 slbm versions]
Meaning 2 always on patrol.
Plus 4 kilo class.
6 scorpene class.
6amur class.I would want u-212 though.
1 Akula 2 class.


Air defense.
Point defence- SPYDER[mostly fighter bases] and DRDO short range interceptor.Plus manpads .
Medium range - Akash.
Long range - DRDO ABM.
S-400[should protect all major cities that contribute to most economic growth]

Maintain deterrent nuclear posture.
4ssbns with 16 missiles.Ideally u would want them to be MIRVed.Even without 32 warheads always at sea for second strike.
No missile silos,all land based warheads[about 200] to be rail mobile.
Plus a 50 odd more for aircraft borne bombs[increasingly obsolete].
Total about 300.[no need for more]
Keep it at 300 ,just keep decreasing land and air based to nominal value and increase ssbn number to 6 eventually and mirv the warheads]

There.WISHLIST.:smokin::partay:
