    Rulebook says IM should be preferred to Foreign, IDM to IM, IDDM to IDM and even in IDDM the higher percentage of indigenous content should be preferred. And reality says f you. Firms openly claim their products as IDDM despite being a carbon copy of a foreign product. Department of Procurement...

    Quadcopter me kaa hi R&D kar loge Bhaiya!? Chaar pankha, motor aur battery. As for actually content in them, what I know for sure is that they use Ascent Imaging Technologies's camera modules in their drones; by far the most expensive single component. Chances are BLDC motors should be Chinese...

    The problem is not about the said "crash", it's about us. Planes crash...be it trillion dollar program like F-35 or immensely successful program like F-16; all are supposed to crash in their normal regular service life, let alone developmental period. Not just places, but numerous experienced...

    Not much. K9 is perhaps the most successful SPH currently in market. If we consider the 1,000+ stockpile of K9 owned by South Korea itself, then more than half of all currently active 155mm are K9s. They are not giving up this opportunity so easily. As of now only Turkey has proper...

    Yup Moreover they also have JVs with my one heck of a dapper with all the rizz for some UAV. Basically NRT will do R&D and L&T would make them.

    Looks too generic (no flaps, sharp edges) to be some actual drone, more like a CGI placeholder for an UAV that they plan to develop. I maybe wrong too Maybe it's based on some obscure UAV from a small European nation we never knew of...because together with this fixed wing UAV L&T had also...

    Yup, we're discussing 35k-ft and 35hrs of Heron Mk-2 and Hermes 900 already claims 30k-ft and 36hr. Moreover Hermes uses 914, 115hp. Whereas Heron Mk-2's 916 clocks 160hp. > Why is so much fuss going about Heron Mk-2's altitude and engine's altitude? When similiar feat is achieved by multiple...

    There's something quite a scene going on with these 2/4 odd drones But as for those altitude limits of engines, I'm pretty sure now that those "published" limits are only for manned civilian aircrafts and not unmanned military ones. Quite similiar to this, the specified altitude of Rotax 912...

    But if I'm not wrong then Heron Mk-2 is unarmed. Even on IAI datasheet there's no mention of kinetic payload; only things like ESM and ELINT. Is it possible that they're goofing uf Eitan (armed Heron) with Heron Mk-2?

    Ya, I also found out it's the new Mk-2 Earlier they made a new version of Heron named "Heron Mk-2" but later renamed it Heron TP and Eitan. And then again launched a new Mk-2; this one. Now my next doubt From somewhere around 2020 to 2022 we're talking about buying IAI Eitan. Even there were...

    Can someone ask Alpha Defence this question on my behalf When NAL Saras was achieving 30k feet of altitude using PT6 he had no confusion But now when the same PT6 on an UAV is going 35k feet he's all confused. How!?

    It would be quite fun if it turns out it uses only some niche weapon like Nimrod or something and we've not ordered them to reduce cost.
