    Dhanush the Indian Bofors

    In that case, same chamber size for Dhanush & Athos will raise a question as how a smaller barrel of 45 caliber have same chamber as 52 caliber gun

    Dhanush the Indian Bofors

    This is an assumption. India is capable of making the tools itself too. Getting the technology is more crucial than getting the tool. Tool import is just to fasten up the development and not an incapability. India can make tools as per requirement as long as it knows why the tool will be needed...

    Dhanush the Indian Bofors

    Again, I said clearly that "if technology is available" then manufacturing is easy. How importing something will mean technology is available. Even 1% import dependency (except in generic items like cloth, ball bearing) means technology is not available. If technology is available to make even...

    Dhanush the Indian Bofors

    F16 has been upgraded continually. It even got AESA radar, advanced EW, new weapons integration etc. So, these costs keep piling up. That is why I said "without upgrades". The only weapon I know is guns and bullets. If you know of any other, then point out, I will show how cost reduced. Upgraded...

    Dhanush the Indian Bofors

    Show me the weapon which had high amount of order? Only weapon I know is M16 rifle. That costs USA army $700 dollars (Rs 50000) only due to its mass manufacturing. The ammunition like 9mm bullets in USA cost 10 cents (Rs 7) per cartridge. If you want any other example, first point out a weapon...

    Dhanush the Indian Bofors

    First explain what is the advantage of Athos over Dhanush. Don't talk about 45 vs 52 caliber. Is there any quality issue which hinders getting results? Merely because the shell is 45mm does not mean that it is useless and has to be replaced. As long as objectives can be obtained, it is good enough

    Dhanush the Indian Bofors

    WHy is this the case? Because there is no war. When war is anticipated, will it still be manufcatured in small quantity? It is extremely easy to manufacture if you have the technology. Getting the technology is the hard part. Once technology is there, manufacturing is 1 lakh times easy Stop...

    Dhanush the Indian Bofors

    Moron, weapons keep upgrading over time. Firstly, show me mass ordering of weapons without upgrade post 1990. then we can talk of this. Once cold war ended, mass production of weapons also ended. What is wrong with you? Calling petrol as consumer goods is retarded. It is a natural resource...

    Dhanush the Indian Bofors

    I hope you understand that if people rebel, government will be forced to do teh bidding. First,the price of a TV was Rs10000 in 1995. But the cost now is Rs 8000. This is despite the value of Rupee being depreciated 3 times. So, the cost of TV has become 15-20% of what it was. Cost of cars and...

    Dhanush the Indian Bofors

    Well, we can see this in electronics, appliances etc where the prices have been slashed like anything due to scaling. Weapons cost is inflated just to ensure arms race is reduced. USA follows a policy of exports having same cost as domestic production. This is to create a sense of fairness. But...
